Two UU this morning:
Odilyque Aloe Vera Shower Gel. WBA. Love this, big bottle lasts ages so will buy it again.
Aurelia Firm and Replenish Body Serum. WNBA. Really loved this, sinks in well, smells great, unfortunately it costs £48 :eek: I had it as a product test!
Hope to get another couple before the end of the month!Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -

Fab, my items:-
Marc Jacobs Sonic Truth mini lipstick
Buxom Samantha lipgloss
UD Darkhorse
Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder - Dim Light
Benefit Lemon Aid
OPI I Theodora You
NARS Albatross
Need to keep working on that MJ lipstick and will use the lipgloss on top of this.
Not sure what goal to set for Darkhorse because I’ve realised I’ve been using it for 7 months and not hit pan. Need to up the ante on usage. Same goes for Albatross.
Have hit pan in both Lemon Aid and Dim Light and would like to UU these.
Have decided to try and finish more full sized nail colours this year and this is the first I’ve chosen.
2 UUs
Atelier Cologne Musc Imperial soap. Very good quality. Don’t need body lotion afterwards. Pulled another out in the fragrance Bois Blonde.
Epsom Salts with Lavender. Nice enough.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!

UUs:
Eartherapeutical hand cream - hotel mini
Superdrug anti-ageing hand cream - WBA, one of the best I've used, left hands moisturised without feeling greasy. It would be perfect if it had SPF.
Macleans tooth whitening toothpaste - WNBA, teeth didn't feel totally clean or look whiter after use.
Superdrug lipbalm original - WBA, only had to use it once a day.
Ins:
Oral b Pro expert clean toothpaste mini - freebie from my dentist, will be useful for travel bag.
PPs for next year:
Burts bee lip balm
Last 2 lip crayons
Sleek foundation0 -
One UU tonight:
Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum 3ml sample WPBA as a full size. I'm currently nearing the end of a bottle of this and I like it but I don't know whether I want to repurchase it once I've finished it. Hm.0 -
Valm, I like perfumes that have depth and some warmth. I hate the super sweet ones.
I tried clinique aromatics and was suprised as when i first smelt i hated it but maybe i have matured and appreciate it now. I used to like dior J'adore. I like some of the aqua di palma and chanel no 19.0 -
Hello all. No INs still. Happy with it
Nothing I see at any sort of sales enables me either. I'm hoping to slowly declutter some shoes, clothes and hopefully beauty and make-up products too. 2018 wasn't the best but I'm hoping to be more organised in 2019 for everything!

You might like Paco Rabanne Olympea. I will repurchase this when I’ve used a lot of my fragrance up. I used to have Jo Malone Dark Amber and Ginger which fits that description.
I want to use up my oldest fragrance this year which is Philosophy Pure Grace.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!
