I clean all my makeup brushes with Dr Bronners, it is fab at breaking down the oil based products.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Hit pan this morning on the Dim Light powder in my Hourglass palette. Bit disappointed by this product as I've had to scrape hard pan off it for a while as opposed to the full size which was fine all the time. I have been using this consistently since Christmas though. Will try and use the Diffused Light as setting powder once this is gone.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!

Palmers Shea Formula Hand Cream 60g - nice enough but a little greasy to use during the day so I kept this by the sofa for night time. Have replaced it with an Avon hand cream.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

UUs:
Rihanna Rogue EDP: WNBA, more mature fragrance for a celebrity fragrance, which received many compliments. However, longevity is poor.
Ins:
Nivea Creme - Bigger pot on sale, which I will use at home to extend the life of my hand bag creams.0 -
Can I just make a recommendation? I'm on a facebook page called Boob or Bust which is all about finding your perfect bra fit (rule #1, don't add inches to your underbust measurement!), and someone on there said they were told to use roll-on deodorant under their boobs to control sweat in hot weather (when wearing a bra, doesn't work without!), I've been trying to control it with talc all these years but :eek: this tip is AMAZING, it's so much better!!
Sorry for the TMI:D:D

Thanks for the demo tip kadison. I also apply ABC Tea Tree lotion under there at night.
I’ve had the Atelier Cologne Befgamot Sur before. It’s lovely. Am wearing Atelier Cologne Clementine California this week.
I UUed the Hourglass powder this morning. Scraped the last bits out and used loosely. As mentioned yesterday will move onto Diffused Light next.
Also UU Bath and Body Works shower gel. I have a matching body lotion in stash. Have gone through shower gel more quickly as Emma is home. We have Philosophy Melon Dacquiri and Liz Earle Rose and Lavender shower gel on the go at the moment so I’ve purchased some E45 lotion to apply after.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Two TAs today:
Garnier Moisture Bomb Protect Hydrating SPF30 75ml WNBA. This was horrible. Glad I only paid £1 for it. It has a horrible texture when on your skin. And very scented.
REN & Now To Sleep Pillow Spray 10ml sample WPNB. This was nice but I didn't use it up before the scent changed. Blegh.
And one IN today:
Soltan Protect & Moisturise Spray SPF50+ 50ml Forgot to apply any SPF to my arms today before I left for work at 10 to 6 this morning. So I popped into Boots and got a mini SPF to apply when I was at work.0 -

Bourjois Aqua Blush - this is very light in colour but the main reason for letting it go is that it just disappears really quickly, I will look in the mirror a couple of hours after applying and there is no sign of it. WNBA

amazing tip thanks for sharing kadison!
Some IN's from the past couple of days. Heatwaves make me a desperate consumer willing to buy anything that will cool me down/sort my parched hair out.
LUSETA Argan Oil Heat Protection Spray - my other one is almost out. Got this as a replacement.
Tisserand Cucumber and Grapefruit deodorant - my other deodorant is not working for me so I am going to use it as an exfoliant instead (don't ask!)
Phytema Active Lotion against hair loss - ha we will see
Superdrug Colour effects wash in wash out conditioning colour - I am trying to grow out my natural hair colour so am trying this on the ends to see if it blends better
Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Banana Split - my first nail polish purchase of the year!
Superdrug Cucumber Cooling Clay Mask - going to use this tonight
