    3 OUTS yesterday

    Boots no 7 wipes

    Atelier Oolong Infinit sample. Nice but would not repurchase. Got a shower gel and body lotion from my calendar yesterday and today respectively.

    TA OPI mini. Whilst it looked a gorgeous reddish brown in most light under the bright light at work it looked purple. I did wonder when I initially pulled it out. Will pull another from the collection. Good thing is, I only have 9 mini OPI and 2 Leighton Denny bottles left.
    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!

    ponypal - I'm vegan and really appreciate that Superdrug's own brand is cruelty free, I agree about the price of Lush too, way, way too expensive for what it is.

    Sure MotionSense Bright Bouquet Roll On Deodorant - WBA, a very nice smell, maybe for the summer.

    2 GA

    The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Splash
    Dove Original Roll On Deodorant

    Both are being given to our local women’s shelter.

    1 TA

    Vita Coco Coconut Oil - I really don’t like the smell of it and it has been open for a while....

    Stash total is now 128
    Less is the new more :D

    Hello everyone. Nothing in yet but my LF box will arrive soon. I have uu'ed couple of things:

    Elvive Extraordinary Oil shampoo - I love this. Have more in stash.

    Merumaya Overnight Recharge Night Cream - In two minds about this. Love the product but I think the packaging is a letdown.

    Nip+Fab Deep Cleansing Fix: Great product to remove makeup. A large tube for £9.99 and often in the offer. It has a slightly medical feel to it, not very luxurious but does the job and does it well.

    I have been really rubbish at posting in here. I made a list in January.
    Updated slightly today (below)
    . What I noticed when I went through this list is that I haven't used up a great deal. I also realised there is a huge haul from my birthday missing which was mostly higher end French pharmacy stuff. I also recieved a bag full of sanctuary spa. I need to do a new list for January and intentionally work through some of the older winter stuff.
    I have discovered that I have two favourite perfumes now: Chloe and Amazing grace. I have back ups of these but want to really work at finishing some others which I also love but not as much.


    I have discovered that I buy masks and don't make enough time to use them.


    I have realised that I prefer lotion to body butter and I'm lazy about using them. There are also smells and products that are seasonal- I love vaseline aloe lotion in summer but not winter etc so some things will have gone off before I use them again.


    However huge success was that my only ins were essentials, presents and birthday money spends except that on bargain bottle of Amazing Grace and a dozen or so nail polishes. I'm upping my game next year.

    UU PHB Organics Geranium and Primrose Hydrating Face Mask - WNBA, it was okay, but I would not usually choose this sort of thing, it was a bit heavy, lasted a long time which is usually a good thing but I wasn't a fan of the scent... it was a 'beauty subscription box' thing I have been trying to use up for a year!

    UU my samples of Elemis superfood day cream and night cream. It's a shame because these were effective but I disliked the smell so WNBA

    Painted my nails! I've been trying to use up my Avon Gel Shine Lasting Finish Top Coat which has been absolutely amazing, but is nearing the end of the bottle, and is a bit gloopy now... will persevere and put it on my PP list

    L'oreal Ever Sleek Shampoo 250ml - this is nice but I prefer the Ever Riche so WNBA.

    Philosophy Homemade Pumpkin Pie Shower Gel 480ml - gorgeous, I love these scents from Philosophy.


    The Superdrug cleanser I bought recently has broken me out so rather than throwing good money after bad I have ordered the Liz Earle kit online which comes with a night serum thing aswell. DD will use up the other cleanser as she likes it.
