    One UU this morning:

    The Body Shop Strawberry Smoothing Face Mist 60ml WPNB. This was nice to use on my body before applying body lotion. Really helps it sink in faster.

    And a few INs today:

    Dr Jart Ceramidin Oil Balm 40g
    Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream 15ml
    Dr Jart Ceramidin Liquid 30ml
    Dr Jart Ceramidin Gel Cream 10ml


    I strayed into TK Maxx and bought a few things that I've wanted to try for a while :)

    I hardly ever see anything decent in TK Max. Get very envious when I see US Shoppers picking up loads of cosmetic bargains.
    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!

    I'm based in the UK but I read a lot of TK Maxx stores here got some Dr Jart products. So you might be able to find some if there's a TK Maxx near you

    One UU from last night:

    A. Florence Skin Rehab Light Cream sample WMB as a full size. This was nice and helped any irritated patches my skin has had.

    And two UUs this morning:

    Lush Sleepy Shower Gel 110g WDBA. This is lovely and the scent is amazing. Very nice :)

    Primark x Alex Steinherr Maximum Moisture Moisturiser 75ml WPNBA. This was nice and nourishing, but I think this too was an impulse purchase.

    TBS Wild Rose Hand Butter
    TBS Hemp Foot Protector
    Jimmy Choo - Flash
    Seven Seas Energetic You Supplements
    This Works Deep Sleep Cream
    Max Factor Foundation

    Don't need to buy in 2019
    Body Lotions
    Hand-creams

    I sold a travel size mascara and a Sleek contour palette on Ebay. Both were from LF beauty box in the last year.

    I will create a gym toiletry bag from some travel sizes/samples I have as I do my routine after the workout in the morning.
    I'm also back to retinol and about to UU Merumaya Retinol Treatment. I love this but I also have the Ordinary retinol to UU. After that, I want to try Paula's Choice.

    oh I forgot to add this, I have been using mine up too, don't know about you but I actually love it!

    I love the smell but it’s just very slightly too greasy for me. That’s just my initial opinion though, so might be different in a week!

    I bought myself a box of toothpaste tablets from the Zero Waste Shop and a bottle of oil pulling mouth wash. One of my new year's resolution was to reduce my plastic usage and toothpaste packaging is unfortunately unrecyclable so I will try these tablets. Oil pulling mouth wash comes in a glass bottle so better than the plastic bottle but I know Lush also has mouthwash tablets. I might try them in the future.

  • 1 UU:

    Next Sparkle Eau de Perfum - WBA, a nice light smell for during the day.

    1IN:
    Garnier Intensive 7 Days Restoring Hand Cream - Needed a hand cream thanks to the changeable weather.

    Stash total is 86
    Less is the new more :D
