A few INs this afternoon from a Black Friday order:
REN Neroli & Grapefruit Body Wash 200ml
REN Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask 15ml sample
REN Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic 50ml sample
REN AHA Smart Renewal Body Serum 50ml sample
I've only bought 3 toiletry items in the past week, one should be arriving the end of this week and I have no idea when the other one will arrive since it's coming from Korea. I am trying to use up all the samples I have and working on finishing open products and items I don't like or my skin doesn't like this month.0 -
One TA:
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray sample 30ml WNBA. I had used half of this but I couldn't use any more. It leaves my hair feeling coarse and dry. I'm glad it was only a sample.0 -
I was tempted but something I needed ie shower cleanser, got myself some l`occitane almond shower oil. Had some years ago, loved the lingering scent. Other stuff, heck I have too much to make a list, need to remember to actually use them and burts bees might be going out, the cuticle stuff in the tin feels hard. Maybe I need a tick list0

IN from advent calendar: sample of Oolong Infiniti.
UU Atelier Cologne sample of Clementine California. This is on a wish list.
Pulled out an OPI mini - Red Lights Ahead ... Where? Again, there was little product left in the bottle. Managed to apply one coat to both hands. Anticipating this, I pulled out my full sized OPI Red My Fortune Cookie which is perfect dupe. I’m guessing this one is discontinued. It’s a favourite Red so when this bottle is done I’ll replace it with Red Lights.
Pulled out another OPI mini which I think is Wanna Wrap. Another purple so we’ll see how I feel about that.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 from last night:
Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream 3ml sample WMB as a full size, but I probably won't. I put this sample in a little travel pot and it last a while. Because it's a soothing cream, you only need a small amount. I'll probably just stick with my Cicaplast Baume and Gel if I want a soothing product.
One IN from my Advent Calendar:
The Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel 60ml A classic Body Shop product0
