Sally Hansen Nail Rehab - WNBA, nice peach colour but I didn't notice that it did anything for my nails.
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - this was too dark for me so I have been mixing it with another too light foundation, it has been hanging around forever and I am glad to see the back of it.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Have now scraped all the powder from the base of the pot in my Hourglass powder to use it loosely and think it will be gone this week.
My lipstick is looking like a nub too and want that to be gone soon. Using it as a base for all lipgloss at the moment.
Have discovered new love of NARS Albatross. Looks lovely at the moment although it has hard pan on it again. Will use tape on it tomorrow morning.
I used I Theadora You a couple of days ago but had to remove it again. I think the formula has gone off due to it's age (released in 2013). I thought it was peeling off due to my Essie top coat having thickened but last time I applied it I used OPI Infinite Shine Primer and Gloss and it still peeled off. Will try adding nail polish remover to it the next time I use it but if that doesn't work it's going. Shame as I am half way down the bottle.
I keep praying for pan in Darkhorse to no avail.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!

Two INs today:
La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml
Tigi Bed Head Colour Goddess Miracle Treatment Mask
Both of these items I use on a regular basis. One daily, which is the moisturiser and one weekly, which is the hair mask.0 -
UU: Lush Happy Hippy shower gel. Lush shower gel is expensive (by my standards) but lasts ages and my (very mild) eczema patches disappear when I'm using it.
Went in to Boots 100% intending to purchase something at 70% off - they only had rubbishy things left, saved from myself. No other INs!0 -

Hi all, in yet again. I just TA a Revlon lipstick. It was a bright red with coral tones but always looked odd on me. I have few other reds to use anyway so TA this one.
After tidying up my cupboard, I have determined that I don't need to purchase anymore hand creams and body lotions/creams for a while.
I also shouldn't buy make-up products unless they are a replacement.ally.0 -

6 Hourglass Ambient Light Powder in Dim Light HG HG HG. Have the Edit 4 palette with a smaller size of this product in which I'll use next. I know this is pricey stuff but the full size lasted me a year and I'm happy to invest in it. Looking forward to trying Diffused Light too.
I reported last time my new love of NARS Albatross. I wonder if it is now performing better because of the introduction of Rose Hip Oil to my skin. The tape didn't work on it so I have depotted it and am using it as a loose powder. To be fair the palette pan size is too small for me to get a face brush into. Really enjoying this. Looks very glowy without that "see me from space" look.
Another UU:-
7 Ateliar Cologne sample in Cedrat Atlas I saved this to last (or so I thought, see below) as it smelt very manly to me but on wearing it, it smells lovely. Would not repurchase though due to the manly association.
A host of discoveries this week:-
1. The Ordinary Rose Hip Oil. The sample is almost gone. I have made an order for a full size.
2. I changed handbags last night and found a half sample of Ateliar Cologne Iris Rebelle in my bag so I only have a half sample to use up and then they are all gone. Will have to do a round up of my faves.
3. In the bag that I switched to I found a tube of Crabtree and Evelyne cuticle cream. Didn't open it last night so don't know, as yet, whether it's gone off or not.
4. Was looking through a drawer for a receipt and found a tube of Leighton Denny Hand Defence handcream. I think it's Emma's though if she doesn't want it I'll claim it. I did try this product and it's still ok.
5. I think I've found a purplish nail colour that I like - No 7 Damson Dream. I was given this as a gift at Christmas. Gorgeous colour.
6. Mally eyeshadow stick. The quality of this is marvellous. Think I will definitely purchase more at some stage.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
