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.
Congratulations on finishing your PP List.
You seem really knowledgeable about skincare. Have you tried any products by The Ordinary. I’m thinking of trying the Caffeine Solution for my undereye lines and probably their Rosehip oil and retinol.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

[FONT=Calibri, sans-serif]Also, I've been reading a lot about eliminating single-use plastic recently and one major area for this is my toiletries use, so I'm giving some plastic-free alternatives such as the shampoo bar a go. I haven't tried it yet but I hope it suits my hair as it would be great to get rid of some of the plastic bottles in the bathroom. [/FONT]

I spoke too soon on my last post!
I finished the soap and glory moisturiser 300ml. :T WBA - I started off using this on dry skin but began using in the shower as it mentioned rubbing on damp skin and it worked lovely. The signature scent is nice but I’m ready for a change now.
Lush mother pearl bubble bar WBA great scent but due to the oils the bubbles don’t last that long after you run the bath.
L’Or!al smooth scrub sample WNB it was a sugar scrub but other than smelling nicer I’m not sure what benefit it had0 -
TA a L'Ore'l mascara which dried out in the stash. Replaced with a Shesheido mini which was still alive.
Finished an Aveno body Yog. Loved the effects on my skin. Didn't like the smell. On to a partially open l'Occ verbena body lotion.0 -

Thanks VALM
I've tried one or two things from The Ordinary, but I've not tried the Caffeine Solution, though I am thinking of buying it when I next make an order on their website. I've seen good reviews of the Granactive Retionoid Emuslion 2%but I'e not seen many reviews of the Retinols. I'm afraid I've not tried any of them as I'm not at the age to be using a retinol or retinod at yet. I would start with the Retinol in Squalane 0.2% if you've not used a Retinol before and also try and have a few days between each application. And you'll need to wear SPF everyday as your skin will be very sensitive to sunlight and easy to burn.
Hope this helps0
