Some OUTs for me, I had a near-miss with TBS, I love their shampoos and conditioners and they had 25% off the banana and 20% off the ginger. luckily the promotion ended before I had a chance to decide!
TA
Avon mark. Gel Pencil Eyeliner in Rich Copper, Sage Shock, Silver and Tropical Teal - I never saw the point in these, they were almost impossible to sharpen and 'bled' all over my face, WDNBA, I don't wear eyeliner much and if I do, I prefer the felt-tips nowadays!
UU
Avon Naturals Strawberry & Guava 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner 250ml - Very nice, WBA
Boots Extra Strength Nail Polish Remover Pump 200ml - Annoying packaging but the product is good, I've purchased more but in the standard bottle.
Femfresh Powder 200g - HG
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 400ml - I use as my HG brush cleaner
Lancôme Shine Lover Lipstick - Bold Plum - WMBA but I have too many lipsticks already! Lovely colour and formula.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

Fashion on the Ration 28/660 -
I've been on a personal journey since January 2019 and used up 25 products so far, however I have been buying occasional little products along the way.
Today's IN: Avon Skin So Soft Spray - I've brought this for my first ever holiday abroad as I heard it helps with insects, can anyone else recommend this? Also, do you use it before or after suncream?
Many Thanks,

I came back from Rome yesterday, I went with DD and we took the bare minimum of make up, skincare etc. For shampoo and body wash we used The Friendly Soap Co Travel bar, just sliced a bit off and put it in a tub and we used their Patchouli & Sandalwood soap as face wash. We left the bottles of hotel toiletries untouched but did open one mini soap to use for washing hands, we brought that back so it wouldn't be wasted. Using the soaps worked really well if anyone is looking into doing the same.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
