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.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

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.0 -
Second UU of June.
Ren rose body wash. WBA but have another in the stash.Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -
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.ally.0 -

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.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

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.0 -
UUs:
Rose clay face mask : GWP, WNB. Didn't feel special to me.
Ins, boring essentials needing replacement:
Cotton wool pads
Lidl nail polish remover0
