UU a charcoal face mask - did not like that at all, the mask was so wet and big, the holes were in the wrong place, I couldn't keep it on. It was meant to be for 20 minutes and I barely could do 2! It's gone now though and I doubt my skin is any better for it!0

Thank you for the new thread sstevo19, I am in again, cannot post a UU list for May, away on hols for 3 weeks and have brought mostly full sizes with me, I have a few minis here, but cannot really do a list, will be reading along from time to time though.:DThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

Hi all and thanks for the new thread, as usual, I'm in.
My first UU of the month is Clinique Clarifying Solution No 3. I like this but I think number 1 or 2 are better. I replaced it with No 2 that I have in stash. After I uu this, I don't think I will buy it again but will use an acid toner.
I was away for a couple of days and I bought Clarins Body Lotion from duty-free as it was a really good price and I like their body products.
I think this month will be better than the last one (both for INs and UUs). I will make an effort to UU some products from beauty boxes/calendars as I have a few. I've listed some items on Ebay and Vinted too. Hopefully, they will be sold.ally.0 -
One UU this evening:
Oral B Satin Tape 25m WDBA and have. This is really good. It's quite cheap as well.0 -

I really like Murad Clarifying Toner which is glycholic.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

I have a uu. I had this item in a project and called it down for that purpose but I have been using a brush to scrape the last of it out of the tube:
No7 Quick Cover stick concealer - I loved this, it had a cream to powder finish and lasted all day. WBA but they don't do it anymore.
I also sold a discontinued Avon perfume.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

My last INs for a while:
Aderma Rheacalm Soothing Micellar Milk 200ml
Noreva Sensidiane Micellar Milk 100ml
Noreva Sensidiane Micellar Milk 100ml
I wanted some more of my favourite cleanser, the Noreva Micellar Milk, and I thought I'd try a different Micellar Milk as well. These will be my last INs for the month, hopefully. I may need to buy some more of my moisturiser though, I'll see how long it lasts me.0 -
I have sold some more make-up on eBay. I only made a few pounds after fees, but I appreciate the space in my cupboard!UU a charcoal face mask - did not like that at all, the mask was so wet and big, the holes were in the wrong place, I couldn't keep it on. It was meant to be for 20 minutes and I barely could do 2! It's gone now though and I doubt my skin is any better for it!
I don't think I have yet found a sheet mask that fits my face! If I want to see out of the eyeholes and breathe out of the lip/nose holes I have to always fold the mask over half way down my face!0
