I'm the same with toothpaste, I can't risk problems with my teeth. I have come unstuck with floss, it is possible to buy a container for the floss which is glass with a metal lid but the natural floss is silk which is a no no for me so I would have to fill it with normal floss. Have you come across any other alternatives?

Wet n Wild is available at Boots and this might be what you want? https://smallshop.co.uk/shop/georganics-natural-floss-minty-charcoal

asajj - that looks just the job, thanks so much for that. They are quite local (ish) to me so that is good too.

It is also available on Amazon (I try to avoid using Amazon but sometimes it is a lifesaver)

A few INs today:

Avene Extremely Gentle Cleanser Lotion 300ml
Noreva Sensidiane Soothing Micellar Lotion 500ml
SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml
Uriage Bariesun Mineral Stick SPF50+ Fragile Areas 8g

Very excited to try the Avene cleanser and the Uriage stick SPF. The Noreva and the SVR and both things I've purchased numerous times before

I am going to buy the re-usable cotton or bamboo pads as really every packet costs a fair bit for demak remover pads. 3 packets would pay for 20 re usable rounds on ebay. sounds like a no brainer for me. I reuse all my clothes why not these.

One UU tonight:

A. Florence Super Serum 2ml sample WMB but I'll see how I get on with the mini of this one I have. Very nice texture and moisturising as well. Too early to see results from the Vitamin C in it.

VALM

UU 400ml E45 Lotion. I think I prefer the more nourishing version as it absorbs better. This one remains sticky on my skin for ages.

Tried on my lip sticks in different light and took photos.

[STRIKE]Mabelline, 140 roaring rose (bright pink)[/STRIKE] Not the right bright pink for

[STRIKE]MAC, creme sheen, ravishing+ (peach[/STRIKE]) Don’t think this ever suited me that well, persisted until 80% finished. Love the scent and the packaging.

[STRIKE]Dior, serum de rouge (lipstick+gloss) 760 (deep maroon)+*[/STRIKE] - the lipstick doesn’t seem to wind up any further but the serum seems to come out still. Makes it difficult to apply and leaves little bits on your lips. I liked the colour but it’s deep so I don’t wear often. Beautiful packaging.

[STRIKE]Barry M, bright pink/coral*[/STRIKE] - the sheerness made it uneven, colour didn’t suit me.

[STRIKE]No7, matte liquid lips, pink/nude*[/STRIKE] - don’t like matte

[STRIKE]Neal’s Yard, Bee Lovely[/STRIKE] repurposed as body balm

New total: 15

I’m still deciding on what red suits me best...?!

I’m still on the fence about a couple of brights too.

I think I’d like to use more glosses / shimmer/shine finish lipsticks moving forward..

Just ordered some re-usable cotton pads from Etsy.
I have a couple of things listed on Ebay with watchers and bids - hopefully will have some OUTs this week.

[STRIKE]Revlon, super lustrous, peal, 430 soft silver rose+[/STRIKE] - I actually really like this, colour seems to suit me, it’s bright but softened by the shimmer and the formula is gorgeous. However, it’s half used and I don’t reach for it much, I think I get bored of my brights because I have them so long..

[STRIKE]Rimmel, lasting finish, 214 fire cracker+ (coral)[/STRIKE] - this is very bold and I feel like I can only wear it when on a tropical holiday which isnt very often sadly! It even smells like holiday.

Total: 13

I don’t have any brights left now (excluding reds) hmm..
