    One GA today:

    Colgate Total Advanced Enamel Health Toothpaste 75ml Left my mouth feeling like it was burning. Passed onto a family member.

    UU : Laura Geller liquid lipstick in Strawberry Creme. Not a huge fan of the formula or colour. WNBA. Have pulled out an Anastasia Beverley Hills lipgloss called Sunset. Not particularly sure that I like it however will keep it out and try to use it. Product was scraping away from the sides so maybe there's not much in there.
    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!

    UU the Original Source Green Banana shower gel - this was lovely! WDBA but I am in general trying to use soaps and be plastic free so unlikely to buy in the near future.


    I have to say I almost bought some stuff yesterday but talked myself out of it which is pretty amazing. I had a new nail polish, a hair treatment and a face cream in my hands and decided not to purchase in the end. I think it's because I was tired and I got a lot of sun this week (too much!) and my hair and skin is feeling horrible so I was justifying it to myself. Went home and used things I already owned instead, which worked perfectly fine.

    One UU from last night:

    Dr Jart Ceramidin Liquid 30ml WNBA. I didn't really like this. I think I mostly bought the set because everyone was raving about it in this Facebook group I'm in. It wasn't a very impressive product, nothing life changing.

    One IN today as well:

    La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml My HG moisturiser. I'm nearing the end of my current tube of it. So I took advantage of Escentual's third off French Pharmacy products :)

    Clinique Happy Perfume Spray 50ml - I love this so when I saw it in a charity shop for £2.50 I snapped it up.

    I threw the ABH lipgloss away last night. It’s actu called Gilded and was way more metallic than I can pull off. Have pulled out Tarte Birthday Suit to use instead. Is only a mini.

    Well I'm finally here after sitting on the June thread for over a week wondering where everyone was! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks ssteveo for pointing out my mistake! :D:D:D

    I am in again obviously, I think I might post another stash list to try and shame myself into UUing more and buying less, the trouble is I just end up feeling proud of the list, can someone help me go from pride to shame, or at least something inbetween?

    We had a friend stay overnight on Wednesday and she said all her toiletries fit in her toiletry bag, with a couple of extras at home as she's not a girly girl, I could never be like that, the idea of only having one type of moisturiser, no serum, night cream, treatments etc....:eek::eek::eek:

    A small update, I also have some INs later from a Sephora order as I finally worked out how to find international shipping on the french site, also my OH brought me back some goodies from Montreal!

    UU
    Avon Naturals Aloe & Macadamia Treatment Mask 125ml - WMBA, I'll see how my other hair masks compare!
    Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Renewal 5ml - very nice, WDBA when I've used up my full-size one.
    Femfresh Powder 200g - HG
    Primark Face wipes x 25 - Cucumber - cheap and cheerful!

    INs from Amazon Prime Day(s)
    Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 400ml x 3 - These came down to an average of £1.85 per bottle, I use them as brush cleaner.
    OPI Drip Dry Lacquer Drying Drops 8ml
