    It's been ages since I've updated this. Found a UU I forgot to add last month and a couple so far this month. It's been slowing down but I've completely fallen out of the habit of acquiring toiletries I don't need which is great.



    UU
    Lush Plum Rain Shower Gel 100g - Loved this, smelled amazing. A lovely Christmas pressie which I would also buy myself but lots of shower gel in the stash left to get through.



    Gum Hair Double Cream Conditioner 400ml - Really good quality conditioner which was very effective on my thick hair. WDBA. Luckily only a few more conditioners in the stash left to get through here.



    Balance Active Formula Hyaluronic Moisturiser 50ml - Used this as a day cream and also a night cream when traveling. I'm a big fan of this range so would definitely get again. Have now moved onto a Superdrug moisturiser.

    UU - Body Shop Vanilla Chai shower gel. WNBA as it smelled vile. The vanilla part was sickly sweet and the chai part smelled like stale cigarette smoke. It was like the worst Ben and Jerrys limited edition flavour ever produced!

    UUs:

    Superdrug chocolate orange heating mask

    Superdrug SPF 15 transparent sun spray - Not quite finished but will be finished this week with the hot weather we are experiencing WMBA - Cheap but leaves body slightly dry and stings when freshly shaved

    Ins:

    Sainsburys SPF 30 transparent sun spray - Replacement for sun protection

    I've painted my nails with Opi Coca cola red.

    [STRIKE]Urban Decay Easy blush from Gwen Stefani palette[/STRIKE]
    MAC Brave lipstick
    Avon eyeshadow (from Warm Cashmere duo)
    Urban Decay Darkhorse eyeshadow from Naked palette
    Wet and Wild Contour duo - yellow powder only
    Benefit Boing concealer
    OPI mini - Got Myself in a Jambalaya


    The UD blush has been finished. I am going to work on the last one in the palette now, called Cheers, but it will not be rolled into this challenge as, judging by the length of time it took me to finish this one it will be around for a while.



    Have been wearing the MAC lipstick more consistently this week.



    I use Darkhorse in my brows as well as an eyeshadow.


    Pan is expanding in the yellow WnW powder.


    Feel like I'm near the bottom of the Boing concealer.


    The OPI mini will probably be finished on either the next application or the one after that.


    Am wearing OPI Miso Happy With this Color at the mo which is lovely but, sadly, discontinued.


    Another UU: ASDA cotton wool pads. Replaced with a pack of Tesco ones. Don't have a particular favourite, just pick up the bigger ones where it is convenient.
    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 this morning:

    The Body Shop Almond Milk & Honey Body Yogurt 200ml WBA but maybe in a different scent. Nice and light and it absorbs into my skin quickly.

    One more UU:D

    200ml LRP Toleriane Dermo Cleanser 5/69

    PP list:-
    30ml Clinique Moisture Surge tinted moisturiser spf15
    30ml Pestle & Mortar Superstar Retinol Night Oil
    200ml Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Oil
    [STRIKE]200ml Batiste Original Dry Shampoo 1/65
    30ml Pestle & Mortar Pure Hyluronic Serum 2/66
    50ml LRP Cicaplast Mains 3/67
    250ml Pixi Glow Tonic 4/68
    200ml LRP Toleriane Dermo Cleanser 5/69[/STRIKE]

    Slight chance of finishing the BS oil, but it is very economical so will probably go on for a while longer yet.

    One UU and it's something off my PP list:

    Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy Finish SPF50+ 55ml WPNBA. This has alcohol in it, and Dimethicone, which causes me to have breakouts. I used this up on my arms. It's nice and lightweight, but it was pretty drying on my face, so I used it up on my arms. I'm going to replace it with the SVR Sun Secure Hydrating Milk SPF50.
