    Two UUs this morning:

    Superdrug Calm Skin Hydrating 2 in 1 Serum & Moisturiser 50ml WPNBA. This was alright, but I used it up on my body instead of my face as I was worried it might break me out. I think I'll stay away from impulse purchases in the future.

    The Body Shop Vanilla Chai Body Gel-Lotion 250ml WPNBA. This was nice but the scent was doing my head in. Note to self, don't stock pile these because they're on sale after Christmas. That my last gel-lotion in my stash. I do like the texture of these, so I'll buy a different scent in the future. Replaced with The Body Shop Almond Milk and Honey Body Yogurt.

    That's two items off my PP list done.

    UU:-


    Travel sized body lotion from Diamond Resorts. OK though smelt of washing powder. Must stop MRM from picking these up whenever we stay somewhere. Emma has put her full sized Childs Farm moisturiser in the bathroom so I intend to use this until my Bath & Body Works shower gel is gone. I then have a Liz Earle shower gel and lotion set and then no lotions left (apart from a couple of travel sizes that I want to save for travel).



    No 7 wipes. HG. More in stash.



    Called into ASDA on the way to work and picked up some more cotton pads and two new bath lillies for me and Emma.
    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!

    A few INs today:

    Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Shampoo 750ml
    Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Reconstructor 750ml
    Soltan Protect & Moisturise Lotion SPF50+ 200ml
    Soltan Protect & Moisturise Active Suncare Stick SPF30 5g


    The shampoo and conditioner is a back up ready to replace my current ones. And I'm so happy they've got rid of the annoying pumps on the bottles, so I won't have to cut the bottle in half to get the last of the Reconstructor out.

    The Soltan is to be used as a body SPF, and I want a higher protection lip SPF.

    Two UUs tonight:

    Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel sample 5ml WDBA. This was so luxurious and lovely to use. This was perfect as a first cleanse, but this would be perfect for thr nights were all I can do is cleanse and moisturise before I pass out asleep, haha :rotfl:

    Clarins Cleansing Milk With Gentian sample 10ml WMBA. This was nice. If I was in an indulgent mood, I'd probably get this. Or if someone bought me it as a present, I'd happily use it. This was lovely though.

    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.

    They are all in boxes now and I do have more item I realised but they are tidier at least :eek:

    2 UUs today - Superdrug Vitamin-E Eye Cream - Nice, gentle cream and great value for money. I don't use this regularly but buy once in a while, especially when it is on offer. I will replace this with something from the stash.

    Ted Baker Blush Pink Shower Gel - Nice product but didn't last long. Wouldn't rush to buy it unless it is on offer or in a box set. Replaced with TBS Moringa Shower Gel.
    ally.

    The Clarins cleanser with gentian was the first high end cleanser I ever bought, I always enjoyed using it.
