    UU: Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. Love this tinted moisturiser and have repurchased.
    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 think the general agreement is, even if you have sun protection, you need to take precautions. i.e. avoid sun between certain hours etc.

    I have been to Zero Waste shop in town to refill my shower gel bottle with Faith In Nature coconut body wash. I also UU'ed a bottle of Elvive Extraordinary Oil Hair conditioner. Sold one mini lipgloss online and will dispatch tomorrow.

    I ordered the Liz Earle essentials which came with a try me kit containing 1 cloth, 100ml C&P, Eyebright, moisturiser and IBST minis. I ordered the Dry/Sensitive moisturiser this time and my skin feels more on the dry side. Lots of ins this month but shouldn't need anything else for a long while.

    I'm sure I have used this before and loved it.

    Ultrasun is indeed very good.

    Thank you for the new thread.

    Finish By Summer List
    TBS Wild Rose Hand Butter
    [STRIKE]TBS Hemp Foot Protector[/STRIKE]
    Seven Seas Energetic You Supplements
    This Works Deep Sleep Cream

    My June UU/PP List

    Estee Lauder Lip conditioner
    Benefit Dandelion Blush
    Clarins Lip Oil - Tangerine
    Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Ecru

    Will not need to buy in 2019
    Hair styling products
    Lipsticks
    Eyeshadows
    Shower gel ( I go to Zero Waste shop to refill)

    .

    TBS Foot cream is gone. It was LHJ and was nice but I have some creams that I'm planning to repurpose as foot cream so WNBA for a while at least.

    I have cut open Autograph Confident Boost Primer I got from M&S beauty calendar last year. This was surprisingly good. It has a serum-like feeling to it and definitely works to hydrate your skin. WMBA in full size in the future.

    I've looked and I can't see any mention of tanning except with the tan activator products...

    I've emailed Ultrasun about this a few weeks ago and they said all their products still let you tan. So I'd prefer not to tan at all. But if you like their products, I would just reapply them more than once a day to protect against the sun damage, even though they claim it's a once a day formula, I would generally hold that with a pinch of salt.

    One UU from last night:

    Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser sample WMB as a full size. This was lovely. Gentle and effective. If someone was to buy me a full size, I would not say no to it :)

    One UU this morning:

    REN Neroli & Grapefruit Body Wash 200ml WNBA. I liked this at first, but the more I used it, the more the smell became boring to me. Will replace with one of my two body washes in my stash. I'm down to two body washes and a cleansing bar now, I'm shocked and glad haha.
  • Gave away six items. No ins this week excellent. But Thursday to Thursday counting.
