    Elizabeth Arden 8hr Cream 15ml - I've been buying this on and off for years and really like it. I have another this size in the stash plus a ton of other balms so no need to buy yet.

    One UU this morning:

    Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bod Buff Body Scrub & Mask sample 15ml WBA. This was nice. The scent was divine and I can see myself purchase more Sol de Janeiro products in the future, especially if they share the same scent. This was a lovely body scrub, can also be used as a body mask, if you leave it on dry skin for 10 minutes.

    I've taken up the depressing but necessary task of tidying up my toiletries. I do have a number of Look Fantastic boxes that I use as storage. I'm going to group products into these and try to use them up this way. I have TA couple of old makeup and skincare stuff.
    I have also earmarked 5 products to create a gift box for my friend who had a birthday yesterday.

    Clinique Moisture Surge 15ml - I do like this and have another 1 or 2 in the stash but probably WNBA after that due to moving to more natural products.


    Crabtree & Evelyn Savannagh Garden Shower Gel 500ml - lovely strong scent as always with C&E, scent lingers too.


    Avon Lipbalm in Pink - Avon also did this in red if I remember correctly, it is white in the tube and is supposed to be pink on but is actually pink/white/blue frosted, not a good look really so I used it for cycling and running to protect my lips from the wind and it did this very well.

    UUs:-


    Avon eyeshadow - part of duo. This was nice. Will finish the other shadow too but after that am not minded to repurchase as I prefer the value and selection of a palette rather than anything smaller.


    Purifying mask. I can't remember the brand name though it begins with D and I bought it thinking it was a cheap dupe of the L'Oreal ones. It was not a particularly bad product just that I prefer a traditional mask that sets on the skin. This was cream based and remained cream based. Noticed that my skin was a little brighter when using it but not massively so. I have another one that contains red algae and I think once that has gone I'll either return to the Decleor Herbal Mask or LUSH Mask of Magnaminty.



    PP List

    Flora Mare eye cream
    [STRIKE] OPI Original Nail Envy[/STRIKE]
    No 7 Nourishing cuticle cream - the tube is squishy.
    [STRIKE] ABC Skinwash [/STRIKE]
    Bath & Body Works Magic in the Air shower gel - about one fifth left.
    [STRIKE]Bath & Body Works Magic in the Air body lotion[/STRIKE]
    L'Occitane repairing shampoo - last of the eco refill added to bottle.
    [STRIKE]Avon eyeshadow from Warm Cashmere duo - expanding pan.
    Chanel 144 lip gloss - scraping from sides
    [/STRIKE]Jean Paul Gaultier Classique perfume sample - haven't used this week yet.


    Should be able to get through the perfume sample fairly quickly though am not overly keen on it. It's very floral smelling.


    Finish 7 by Summer

    [STRIKE]
    MAC Whenever You Call eyeshadow
    No 7 Chilli lip lacquer
    NYX concealer
    OPI Apartment for Two mini
    L'occitane Jasmine & Bergamot fragrance[/STRIKE]
    [/STRIKE]

    [/STRIKE]


    Urban Decay Easy blush
    NARS Cruella lip crayon


    STILL chugging away at these last two products.


    I have though finished 18 make up products that I wanted to finish in 2018. Of those there are the following:-


    1 blush
    4 complexion products ie concealer, foundation, primer
    4 eyeshadows
    4 mascaras
    4 lipsticks/glosses
    1 eyebrow pencil


    Will continue with this but won't count complexion products or mascaras anymore as they are a given that I'll finish as I only ever have one of these open at one time and so can't rotate them. Pleased with the 4 eyeshadows and lipsticks though.
    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!

    One UU today and it's something from my PP list:

    Lush Santa's Postbox 100g WPNBA. This was nice but I probably won't buy it again. This had a nice scent though. I've replaced it with a piece of Lush Rock Star soap. These really are value for money as they last a long time.
