    Two more things have left my stash


    Rimmel Oh My Gloss lipgloss - I don't know where this originally came from but I can't imagine I bought it as an individual item. I gave it to DD ages ago and she has used half of it but it is just sat by the door being unused. It is a nude colour and is a rather nice formula but I don't like lipgloss plus it is old.


    Urban Decay Naked Lipgloss in Sesso - this came with a palette and I find it sticky and gloopy, DD isn't keen either. It is old and isn't going to get used so it needs to go.

    I’ve placed some orders today. Have had a compulsion recently to buy more Colourpop Supershock shadows and having had a pay out yesterday from the lottery syndicate at work (we’re not talking millions peeps) ordered some from EBay.

    Have also just ordered a Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Kit from QVC on a One Time only deal - it’s a trio containing 200ml, 150ml and 100ml plus 2 cloths for £45. Even with the steep packaging it’s a bargain and on easy pay (I’m not sponsored- little disclaimer),
    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!

    Another UU but not from my list:

    Dr Hauschka Revitalising Day Cream. WBA. Liked this, more like a light lotion but very moisturising.

    Suppose I haven’t done too badly this month

    Recent UUs

    Gilcheist and soams conditioner 40ml: was ok for a mini but WNBA as I need something more potent for my hair

    Herbal essences conditioner 100ml WMB loves the coconut scent and was nice on my hair

    Garnier micella water 400ml: one of those products I like and keep coming back to as good value but I did get sick of it after a while

    Sure deodorant: I’m not fussy about deo as long as it works - one more in stash which is spluttering so will need to buy more soon

    Lush goddess bath bomb WNB I love the scent but it was weak in the bath. Glitter was nice though!

    Lush yummy mummy bath bomb: WBA for the smell but this was a tad old so didn’t fizz that much

    Lush aubergine bath bomb WBA

    Lush Eskimo bubble bar WBA love the minty scent

    Lush jade roller cleanser WNBA really tried to like this, smell was great and it felt great on the skin. But having to wash it off it just never felt right - either I didn’t take enough off and my skin didn’t feel clean or I got it all off and my skin was taught. I have combo skin so I’m not going to persevere with naked cleansers

    Body shop vanilla shower gel 250g nice to use post gym. WMB loved the vanilla scent

    PP carried over:

    [STRIKE]L’Or!al colour correcting cream[/STRIKE]
    5x samples (any) - Ive managed 2/5
    [STRIKE]Liz Earle cleanser 200g
    Lush angels on bare skin scrub 100g
    1x mascara (think this is by essence in wilko)[/STRIKE]

    And to add for March:

    Lush once upon a time moisturiser 100g in the next week or so if I pull my socks up
    [STRIKE]Herbal essences argan conditioner 400ml[/STRIKE]
    3x minis (under 50ml) if anything (I have plenty to choose from!) - 2/3 so far

    Overall I’m down 68 products since 2018.

    Stash total: 223
  • I tossed out the max factor foundation that I found in a drawer. It was too dry and I have not used it in two years so I needed to get rid of it.

    I panned another shade of the naked 2 pallette YDK. I have six colours panned and have a deep pan on suspect shade.

    I guess at the moment I am in a real no buy mood as I dont want to waste money or have stuff going stale. I want to be creative with what I have; challenge myself to use make up in new ways rather than buying more and more. I have 6 pallettes to use up so eventually I might get there.

    Painted fingers and toes last night with Revlon Cherries in the Snow. Lovely colour and formula but I seem to remember it chipped easily, I have used Essie Gel topcoat so we will see.

    One UU this morning:

    Sensodyne Repair & Protect Whitening Toothpaste 75ml WDBA and have done. Great Toothpaste, replaced with another tube of this.

    UU Sure Cotton Dry roll on - hurrah! WNBA as I have only used natural deodorant in the past 9 years but this was a deperate purchase in last year's heatwave. So glad it's done and dusted! I now have a Pure Deo Co one to enjoy (found in TK Maxx) which smells like cake!


    Used some eye shadow at the weekend and feel like I might give that a go a bit more often!
  • Another UU:

    Dr Haushka facial tonic. WBA. Lovely fragrance and felt nice to use. Very short use by date though.
