VALM - some of those stoppers are ridiculously long making them really hard to pry out without cracking the tube. DD couldn't get anymore of her primer to pump out this morning, it is in a glass bottle with a pump, it took some effort but I managed to get it off so she can finish it all then at least we can wash the bottle and recycle it.

Max Factor Facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation in Warm Almond 30ml - WBA, really love this, it is very reliable, doesn't budge about when it has dried.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

What do we sound like?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!

1 UU today:
Next Pour Femme Body Lotion - Lovely smell but the bottle is made from such thick plastic that it is almost impossible to get any of the dregs out and use it all up!
Stash total is 87Less is the new more0 -
Another UU today- Clarins Toning Lotion for Combination/Oily skin. HG & WBA.
I purchased another bottle to replace this along with Spicy Chill Velvet Lip Colour and Red Berry Lip Oil. I love all of these and got £10 worth of points with the purchase of 3 products.
I have UU'ed a sheet of TBS Drops of Youth face mask. My initial impression isn't great with this one. I don't think it made any difference to my skin first of all. Also, I used this in the morning and put makeup afterwards, it didn't set properly. My favorite is still Lancome Genifique which costs a fortune, unfortunatelyI also like Beauty Pie masks but they aren't as good as Lancome either but still better than TBS.

Lancome La Vie Est Belle Shower Gel 50ml - really liked this.
Superdrug Vitamin E Body Cream 50ml - this was a GWP, really lovely scent and generally nice product to use.
TA
Maybelline Colour Tattoo On and On Bronze - had this a very long time and it is just too warm (red) toned for me, wore it today and I have other things I like better, I scooped it all out of the glass pot so I could recycle it at least.
No7 Single Eyeshadows in Wheatsheaf and Mink - both lovely colours but barely any pigment when using on the eye.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
