Uu Liz Earle Skin Repair. I like this but don't want to spend the money on it. I have to boost it with serum and oil in any case. Have a Lacura one ready to open tonight.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!

UUs:
- Dove visible glow self-tan lotion. WDBA - HG for me. I'm fair skinned, and this just gives a nice easy hint of colour without a bad smell, or looking overdone.
- Nip+Fab no needle fix serum. WNBA - not awful, but didn't really do anything, and just not as nice to use as some others.
- Laura Gellar B&B in fair. WBA - finally completely cleaned the pan, I definitely got my money's worth from thisI use it as a finishing powder rather than a foundation - I do love the depth you get in the colour, it looks more natural than a lot of other powders. Won't replace it yet though, as I have a clinique powder which is almost new, and a half-used B&B in medium when my skin is a little more tanned again.
2 Ins
- 2 x Mark Hill Miracoilicious Moroccan argan oil. HG hair oil (using a different one at the minute, which will finish in a few weeks), and was on promo at BOGOHP - plus a free travel bag with hair tools! I gave away the comb and clips to a friend for her daughter, but am keeping the bag, hair ties and brush as I'll use them soon. I also paid in points, so am feeling good about it0 -
A few more UU:
Living Proof Prime. WBA. Love this, really notice a difference when I don't use it but trying to use up other things before I buy it again.
Cath Kidson Rose Handcream. WNBA. Nice smell but not particularly moisturising.
Aromatherapy Associates Lip Balm. WNBA. Ok but container really hard to use.
Beauty Pie Japanfusion Cleanser. WBA. Liked this but going to try Drunk Elephant next.Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -

Opened the Lacura Moisture Boost Cream last night and am impressed that it is a copy of Clinique Moisture Surge. Skin feels good this morning. Will have to look out for more.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Two UUs from yesterday:
Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water 100ml WPBA. This was nice, but I don't really have a need for it.
Primark x Alex Steinherr Pore Balance Blemish Rescue Stickers WPNBA. This can be useful, but I'll just stick with applying a dab of salicylic acid on any spots I have in the future.0 -
UU
Neals Yard Palmarosa facial moisturiser mini - WBA for summer
Neals Yard Frankincense serum mini - unsure if I need serums, but was nice to use, WMBA
Neals Yard Frankincense Hydrating Cream - feels super nourishing, but I don’t love the scent, especially now as it’s been open too long, it was 80% finished so I finished it on my body. Plus I have a load of moisturisers waiting in the stash I’m getting concerned about the dates of!

Max Factor false lash effect mascara - dropped on floor!0 -

2 UU# yesterday
Carmel potted lip balm. I still like this formula but am over scraping it from a pot. I took a Ted Baker tinted lip balm from my stash yesterday and was impressed by the colour. Very lovely berry shade. Lovely and tea you on application it became drying. Have an Ultraun balm that came in my QVC Beauty Box so will use this too.
ELF setting spray. I have a mini MAC Fix Plus to use up next but will repurchase the Elf one when this is gone.
Ordered 2 x Bath and Body Works body cream yesterday as mine is now cut open.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!

Korres Mango Shower Gel 250ml - this was lovely, have another Mango one in the stash plus a few other scents.
Lee Stafford Hair Growth Conditioner 200ml - WNBA, how would you know if it worked with 200ml of product? Smells great like all Lee Stafford products and it was a nice conditioner.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

One UU from yesterday:
The Ordinary 100% Organic Virgin Chia Seed Oil 30ml WNBA. I must learn that I don't like the feel of oils on my skin on my face. Used this up on my body.0
