    I've just used up (at last!) a Superdrug hot cloth cleanser.


    The cleanser didn't foam enough for me, maybe because we live in a very hard water area. I've bought a Clnique one instead.

    I am, however, sold on muslin cloths and have been able to buy these separately in Home Bargains. Worth a look if you see a branch on your travels.

    From my experience with Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish I don’t think hot Cloth Cleansers are meant to foam up.

    Emma took her pencil sharpener back to Uni with her so I bought one from Tesco yesterday for £2. Still pleased with No Buy.

    Thanks for that. No wonder it didn't suit me then.:o I wanted to use a cleansing brush so a foamy one suits me much better.

    I’ve just started using a Lacura gel cleanser that foams nicely.

    And MAC Brave has gone. Drum roll please. As we have a month still to go of the challenge I have pulled out a Marc Jacobs mini lipstick called Sonic Truth. It’s my least favourite of the mini set I bought last year. It’s a Matte Nude but looks good with Buxom White Russian on top. I popped the stopper out of that today also.

    Another UU Philosophy Basil Cucumber Cooler. I got this as a gift. Awful shower gel. Have just tossed the last of it into my bath. Will open a Boots Extracts Peppermint Body wash next. Have 5 x 75ml bottles left in stash.

    Avon Glimmerstick Eyeliner in Blackest Black - this broke off at the bottom a while ago and it retracts everytime I use it so I end up rubbing the plastic along my lash line. At least I had used half of it. WNBA, I have tons of eyeliner and 3 of them are black and I prefer brown/bronze eyeliners.

    1 more UU - TBS Nutriganics Refreshing Toner - This was pleasant to use and hydrating. WMBA. Currently down to one bottle of toner, Clinique Clarifying Lotion and it is halfway down. This one has alcohol in it and after finished, I will not repurchase. I need to look at what I have before deciding whether I would need a new bottle of toner.
