    Thanks for the new thread steveo. My scores for last month were woeful. Must try harder although I have already ordered something. I have ordered the new TILI box. Think I may "treat"myself to this each time it's released (every 3 months) if I fancy more than half the products. It seems to be more skincare in the new one. There are two make up items which are a Tarte blusher and Benefit Hoola Bronzer.



    I have a UU which was on my PP list: Murad Clarifying toner lotion. Am hoping that a combination of the Lacura Retinol toner and Ordinary AHA solution (TILI box) will work as effectively. In the meantime, I have some First Aid Beauty dupe pads from Lacura to UU.


    My PP list :-


    Lacura hot cloth cleanser
    The Body Shop Camomile cleansing butter
    Bath and Body Works Shea Butter hand cream
    Snake Venom eye cream
    Living Proof Restore hair detangler
    Tweak'd hair mask
    ABC cleansing bar
    ABC body lotion
    Laura Geller Spackle
    Lacura Q10 serum (carried over).
    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!

    A backup of a product I use everyday arrived today:

    Hada Labo Goku-Jyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion (Light) 170ml

    I use this everyday and I'm nearing the end of my current bottle. Should be the last of my INs for a while now, the only thing I'll probably need to buy this month is moisturiser.

    Thanks for the new thread.
    I'm back again :eek: doubt I'll ever be graduating though.
    I have GA 2 nice gift sets as raffle prizes, figured they were better away than taking up space and also decluttering, so figuratively speaking it's win win!! :T
    Also sold some Liz Earle items so that all helps.
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Oops posted below in last month's thread :rotfl:

    First UUs:

    Monuskin firming moisturiser: WMBA, if significantly reduced again but not at original selling price. Smells nice but nothing special.

    Hydrogen peroxide 6% solution for mouthwash - HG

    Proud that I resisted purchasing new products in TK Maxx this weekend.

    PPs for this month:

    Rihanna Rogue perfume, have another celebrity perfume ready to take its place. After my stash is finished, I'm going to just buy smaller perfume oils so I don't get bored so quickly.

    1 nail polish

    1 face mask

    uu


    Avon 2 in 1 Anti Dandruff Shampoo 400ml - this was DD's, she finds this more effective than H&S, we have one bottle this size yet but she is going to try the shampoo bar we have and see how she gets on and keep the Avon one to fall back on. We are hoping that by the end of the year we will all be using the solid shampoo bars, I have 3 bottles of shampoo left from a pretty large stash.

    One TA last night:

    La Roche Posay Effaclar Clay Mask 100ml WNBA. I used this last night and it left my skin very irritated. I've used it numerous times before and its never irritated my skin until last night. I feel bad about tossing it, but I can't use it up. And I don't want to pass it onto my mother as she's recently had facial cellulitis and I don't want to irritate her skin.

    I am not joining this but I just wanted to say that it absolutely had never occurred to me to use unwanted shower gels and shampoos as hand wash.

    I feel a bit stupid and guilty now! But I will be putting that right. :o I might even use unwanted body lotions as hand lotion.

    I have another IN to fess up. It's Emma's birthday at the end of the month and she wants a Colourpop eyeshadow palette. They are US brand and will ship to UK free for a minimum spend of $50. I may have added a palette for myself to the basket to meet the threshold. To be fair it is a peach palette and I don't have one of those. I did have the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette but gave that to Emma as I didn't get on with the smell. The colours were gorgeous though.



    I did also TA a blusher yesterday : Laura Geller Ethereal Rose and a Sateen one. It was one of those split pan affairs. I pulled this into rotation last month and just did not reach for it. Never liked the Sateen side either so it's gone. Have pulled out another LG blusher called Apricot Berry for this month. Do like this one still and am wearing it today.

    IN
    150ml LRP Serozinc HG 1/19
    50ml LRP Serozinc for weekend bag 2/20
    Beauty Pie Blusher Rosy Glow 3/21
    5 Samples Skincare.

    Serozinc had been a HG for dermatitis outbreaks on my face for a few years, but I recently discovered that it reduces itchiness on the eczema outbreaks on my hands etc too.

    I ordered the blush hoping that it would suit my better than the Laura Geller Cherry Truffle, which is a touch too dark, my HG is Look Fabulous Forever Rosy Glow costing £19, it would be nice to find a less expensive one.
