    I do a lot of toiletry stashing, but mainly because I don't go to Home Bargains very often which is where I tend to buy my deodorants and shower gels from. Is that an acceptable excuse as to why I have 6 fresh unopened roll-ons and a 7th one, which I am working my way through? :D

    Bare Minerals Original Foundation in Medium Beige
    Bare Minerals Original Foundation in Fair


    I have finally given up on these, I've had them forever and have used about half of each by mixing them together. I don't like how long it takes to get good coverage and they make my skin feel tight, dry and itchy.

    Flore Mare eye cream
    No 7 cuticle cream
    [STRIKE]Bath and Body Works shower gel[/STRIKE]
    Loccitane shampoo
    [STRIKE]Elemis PCMC 15ml[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE] Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish 200ml
    Primark Pomegranate and Black Tea hand wash
    [/STRIKE]Paco Rabanne Olympea
    Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom cleanser
    Bath & Body Works hand cream in cucumber melon


    PCMC gone. More in stash. Going to open the SPF version next though to try.


    Think my Olympea will be the next finished item.


    Also UUed ABC Tea Tree and Lavender skin wash 500ml. Chucked the last of this into a bath yesterday. Won't repurchase. The lavender makes the tea tree smell too sharp.



    Finished another Bath & Body Works candle yesterday. Can't recall the name but it smelt Christmassy with coconut mixed in. Was lovely.

    One LE C&P cut open and finished. Replaced from stash. Only 6 more to go.
    Nearly finished Lancome Genifique Senstive - which my skin does prefer to the regular version.
    Also nearly finished their Hydra Zen SPF version. Far too thick for my fussy and breakout prone sensitive skin.

    Essie mini nail polish in Roar Orange - WNBA, I am totally sick of orange nails. Lovely formula as always with Essie and great brush.



    I don't think I can pan another nail polish, they take too long and I get fed up with them, I will just use what I fancy from my large collection.

    Thanks for the new thread Catherine.


    My July PP list

    [STRIKE]Philip Kingsley Moisture Balance Shampoo 1L[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Essie Mini in Roar Orange[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Avene Cicaplast Repair Cream[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Elemis Cleansing Balm[/STRIKE]

    Argan Oil
    [STRIKE]Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish 200ml[/STRIKE]
    Burts Bees Almond Milk Hand Cream
    Bliss Grapefruit Body Butter




    My 7 by Autumn list

    1. Bourjois CC Cream
    2. Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Plum Russian
    3. Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer
    4. Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick
    5. Soap & Glory Cheekmate
    6. Revlon Photo Finish Powder
    7. Avon Glimmerstick Eyeliner in Black


    My updated lists. I'm not sure the Argan Oil and curl cream will be finished this month but I will keep plodding on with them.


    My Avon glimmerstick has broken in the packaging, it still winds up and down but sometimes falls out, I don't even really like black eyeliner. What should I do? Carry on with it or chuck it out.

    I found it wasn't as easy as tap, swirl and buff as SJ says either !!

    I've pulled an Essie colour called Eclair My Love into rotation and will use next. Am wearing OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons at the mo that I'm panning. Can see into the bottle which is a sign that it's getting to the bottom. Have seen that one of my favourite YouTubers has made a video on how to get all lacquer out of a bottle and may have a go. I clearly need to get out more !!
