Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Amethyst - this was really lovely but does wear away over the day even with a primer. I have 4 more of these in other colours plus loads of other similar products so won't be buying for a long time.
Childs Farm Baby Moisturiser - DD uses this and it really helps keep her eczema under control.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

31 Charlotte Tilsbury Red Vixen lipgloss this was a gorgeous colour but I won’t pay the hefty price (bought for me by MRM) or let him pay, to be fair. Have replaced with an Est!e Lauder lip lacquer called Quiet Riot.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!

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone
One UU from this morning:
SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml WDBA and will do. At the moment it is my favourite SPF for daily wear, but I'm searching for a new HG one. For the price, about £7-£8, I can't complain0 -
You wait ages for a uu then they all come at once,

Alterna Bamboo Kendi Dry Oil Micromist - this is lovely WMBA but I do prefer the serum that they do.
Rituals Organic White Lotus & Yi Yi Ren Body Butter - lovely product but I go through these too quickly for the price, they just don't seem to last.
Phil Smith Big It Up Thickening Cream - WBA, love these.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I have 3 GA's
Butter London Nail Polish in Blowing Raspberries and Primrose Hill - these survived the last cull as the colours are lovely but they chip immediately so I have donated them to the CS for someone else to try along with a mini bottle of OPI Nein Nein Nein OK Fine - not my colour.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

along with a mini bottle of OPI Nein Nein Nein OK Fine - not my colour.
I love OPI Nein Nein OK Fine. Don't think I own this now though but sure I have similar colours. Had to show restraint over the weekend because I saw OPI on Groupon, if anyone else is interested. Also saw some for sale on Facebook but again showed restraint.
However, I think I'm having a bad case of FOMO. There was a Mally TSV I ordered last year that never arrived due to stock problems and over the weekend QVC had another Mally TSV very similar to that kit however this time I didn't need anything from it however managed to convince myself that I wanted to try her version of the caviar stick. Put in a Wanted Request on FaceBook QVSell for this however was reading later on on various FaceBook QVC related pages that there are stock problems again so don't think anyone will offer it me (hopefully, if they do I'll have the strength to decline). Also, I bought Emma a lovely Laura Geller highlighter from a member of that group for Christmas and really wish I'd kept it for myself even more so after seeing her wear it. The original post came up on my News Feed again and I asked if anyone had one for sale. Someone offered but was charging more postage than usual. When I questioned this and co-offered she got pretty shirty and asked if I was implying that she was trying to make a profit. I said that I did not wish to pay her rate of postage. I would have liked to have argued that yes, she is making a profit because she was "selling" the item to me in the first place!
Anyway, back to the business at hand. I have two UU and an IN (freebie from friend):-
32 Ateliar Cologne Grand Neroli sample This was lovely. One to repurchase in the future, perhaps?
33 L'Occitane Lavender hand cream A lady I work with had a mini tube that wasn't finished and she refused to cut it open so I finished it for her. Think I'm becoming obsessed.
IN : Lacura copy of Smashbox primer. Tried to buy one last week when I picked up my nightcream. Another lovely lady at work saw one and got it for me.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

One UU this morning:
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Pro Recovery 40ml WDBa and will do in the future. I lean towards this more than the original Baume more. This is lighter and helps any scraps and cuts heal faster. I'm going to finish my tube of the original Baume before I repurchase this.0 -
