    Two UUs this morning:

    Lush Sleepy Naked Shower Gel sample WPNB as a full size. This is nice, but the naked shower gels can be quite drying on my skin.

    Noreva Sensidiane Soothing Micellar Lotion 500ml WDBA and have done. This is my favourite second cleanse/morning cleanse. Very gentle and non scented. And it lasts a while.

    Happy belated birthday sstevo

    UU: Lush Puddy Holly Bubbleroon - big fan of these I feel like they are very soft and creamy and easy to split into multiple baths. I definitely felt like 1/3 of the product was enough for a nice bath so I got 3 out of this.

    Updated PP list:

    Nails inc Hyde park basecoat
    Avon Gel Shine in Emerald City
    [STRIKE]Palmers Cocoa Butter Original Solid Formula [/STRIKE]
    Essence stay all day concealer
    Crazy Rumors mint chocolate lip balm
    Elemis Superfood Night Cream sample
    [STRIKE]Elemis Superfood facial oil sample [/STRIKE] x 2 (1 UU)
    Dermatologica ultra smoothing eye serum
    [STRIKE]Lush Bucks Fizz Body Conditioner [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Roots Double Effect Silk Finish Conditioner [/STRIKE]



    I'm not sure if this counts as in IN but I have a conditioner that comes with hair dye that I am currently using up as I got and used a Garnier Nutrisse hair dye.
    I have a Lush Dream Cream which is my next moisturiser to use now the cocoa butter has finally finished up!
    Think I will hopefully UU quite a few of these in February but I think it's going to be slow progress now that most of my almost used up and sample size products are gone.

    36 OPI mini Kiss Me On the Tulips Nice enough. Would not repurchase. Probably have a similar colour in the stash.
    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!

    37 Dior Pump and Volume mascara - deluxe sample size Performed well but was difficult to remove. Even when I thought I had removed it all at night I would still wake up with black smudges under my eyes. WNBA. Have various others to choose from in the stash and will do so later.

  • 13. 400ml salon size Elemis tri-enzyme resurfacing facial wash (think its now been renamed dynamic. WBA but not for a few years.

    14. Mitchum roll on deo - DD an I share and somehow managed to have 2 on the go. HG

    15 - 37 lipstick/eyeliner/brow products to DD's make up loving friend. Nothing wrong with the products but would probably be rotten by the time I used.

    38. Origins CC cream - WNBA I used this as a primer. Was OK but other primers I prefer.

    39. Body shop pink grapefruit handcream - WMBA I am rubbish at applying handcream but although not very nourishing I applied this regularly as I enjoyed the smell.

    40-43 Toothbrushes
    No more buying toiletries

    Getting there....

    Lush wash that man shower gel WMB it’s a strong jasmine scent which I like but is a little drying. Ended up finishing it as handwash

    Revlon foundation sample - thought it was a little dark for me but actually has nice coverage. Would think about buying again

    Lush oatifix mask - WBA good for the dry areas on my face. Nice to use after cleansing

    Aveeno sample - yuck tried a little but it’s way too sticky for me

    Lush American cream HG but don’t buy it much as I find it expensive for what it is. Smell is amazing though (I have the shower gel in this format too...). I have loads of conditioner to get through however so won’t be buying more anytime soon.

    January:

    S&G moisturiser
    [STRIKE]Lush ectoplasm SG
    Lush fresh face mask[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]15 samples/minis[/STRIKE] 16 used in total so far!

    :j

    And I think I’m on track to finish the moisturiser by the end of January as well. Having never regularly used body moisturiser I do think I am seeing the benefit

    uu


    Toni & Guy Firm Hold Hairspray - this was a mini can which came in a beauty box, WNB, the product was OK but it was really hard to press to nozzle.

    One UU this morning, and it's the last item on my PP list:

    Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner 100ml WPNBA. This was nice, and I wanted to like this, but the skin on my face didn't agree with it. I used this up on my body before I apply body lotion after I've had a shower.

    Wizyoung Amethyst Collagen Sheet Mask
    Wizyoung Royal Jelly Sheet Mask
    Nature Republic Real Nature Mask Sheet Tea Tree
    Nature Republic Real Nature Mask Sheet Avocado
    Nature Republic Real Nature Mask Sheet Tomato
    Plan 36.5 Collagen & Tomato Plant Cell Daily Mask
    Papa Recipe Bombee Whitening Honey Mask Pack
    Secriss Pure Nature Mask Red Ginseng Sheet Mask
    TOAS Miracle E.G.F Concentrate sample
    2NDESIGN First Cleansing Oil sample
    The Saem Gem Miracle Black Pearl O2 Bubble Mask sample
    The Saem Natural Condition Scrub Foam sample

    I've listed them, but I'm not including them in my stash total. I should work through these pretty quickly though.
