One UU tonight:

One UU this morning and it's something off my PP list:
Pyunkang Yul Moisture Cream 100ml WNB. This is a nice moisturiser but my skin didn't get along with it. I used it as a body moisturiser.
I'm enjoying using up the products in my stash, it's nice to see the size of it dwindle.0 -
I've been decluttering my house this month, lots already off to charity and I'm hoping to get started on my toiletry collection. I tend to bulk buy stuff I like when it's cheap so I don't see an issue with that - it's the little bits and pieces that I want to use up.
This month, I hope to get rid of:
Zoella Bath Foam
Body Shop Brazil nut body scrub (this has moved house with me twice!)
Clarins samples (2)
Pixie toner 100ml
M&S Eyeliner and Eye pencil
L'Occitane almond shower oil
Starting small!
Also, I have to ask: Kadison, how do you keep all your stuff organised?MFW 2019 #61: £13,936.60/£20,0000 -
One TA today:
Sensodyne Gentle Whitening Toothpaste 100ml The pump stopped working and even following the instructions on what to do when the pump fails it still won't come out. I'm not that disappointed though, as it was irritating my mouth.
One GA as well:
Sensodyne Strong & Bright Enamel Toothpaste 75ml Given to someone in my house who actually likes using this. This made my mouth burn a bit.
And a few INs today:
Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Picks 60 count
Sensodyne Repair & Protect Whitening Toothpaste 75ml
Superdrug Pro Care Sensitive Mouthwash 500ml
All necessary items. Nearing the end of my current bag of floss picks, and I need a mouthwash.0 -

Love that shop. Sadly, don't get to York enough to shop there.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!

What a slow week. Still no UUs but feel the Elemis PCMC and Laura Geller Bronze Spackle will be gone over the weekend/early next week.
A couple of INs yesterday. Did not buy the Laura Geller TSV last week however found someone who was selling both highlighters which I intended to give to Emma but now that they have arrived I am torn!
Repainted my nails this morning with OPI Manicurist of Seville. A favourite of mine.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I have quite a few UUs -
quite a few small perfume samples:
Dior Joy - liked this and would consider it at some point.
Bottega Veneta Eau de Velours - WNB smelt really powdery on me.
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal by night - really liked this and would consider it at some point. It was really strong so I got many uses out of the tiny sample!
So am now 4/12 on my 12 perfume samples by xmas challenge.
Have also finally finished off a 5ml L'occitane Terre de Lumiere perfume - this was pleasant but i don't think I would buy it again.
bleach london sulph obsessed shampoo - this was ok but I don't think they still sell it in boots. I have a few more in the stash to get through first anyway.
2 x bumble and bumble thickening shampoo & conditioner sachets - this was fine for our trip away, have a few more of these sachets in the stash for travelling but would not buy the full size.
2 x Kate somerville eradikate cleanser sachets - this was nice but not sure if would buy the full size.
2 x Elemis hydra day cream sachets - prefer others in the elemis range so would not buy the full size.
1 x Loccitane ultra thirst quenching cream - would not buy as it felt so greasy on the skin.
I also have a couple of ins
Dior Joy 5ml mini bottle from Debenhams Beauty Card with small samples of joop! wow for her and YSL black opium.0 -

I visit the Yorkshire Soap Co in Hebden Bridge which I live close to and cycle to regularly. If you are in Yorkshire it is well worth a visit, it is Calderdales most visited town, very arty and bohemian with tons of independent shops and no chains shops really, except a little Boots. I love it.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
