    I had to throw away the Laura Geller Melon Infusion lipgloss yesterday. It became so messy after removing the stopper. Drum roll please ladies because that’s my 19 in 2019 done. I still want to finish my Bobbi Brown Shimmerbrick, Too Faced Rich Girl eyeshadow and the MAC Dare You lipstick. I’ve given up hope (though not stopped using) of finishing another blusher.
    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!

    Well done. It really does make you realise how long things take to finish which has really helped me to only buy what I need now.

    One last IN - Superdrug hand and nail lotion - this is my HG for this category and I had used up all of my body and hand lotions! This forum really works :)

    Are you outside of the UK? Or do you have a way of getting B and BW here?

  • Oct challenge 11/15
    Sep-Christmas challenge 42/75

    Not posted for a while, but have still been keeping a note of things that have been used up.
    UU
    -Cotton wool pads
    -My Skin Matters Micellar water 500ml (Have other micellar waters to use up, but must confess I've never felt the love for micellar water that some people do. I think I need a better toner)
    -Lynx Africa anti-perspirant (DS1 likes this, so WBA)
    -Mini Disney shower gel
    -Mini Duck Island shower gel (both of these were nearly finished, so added them to my never-ending handwash)
    -Mitchum Men's Deoderant (Mr radio like this, so WBA)

    Also took 5 out-of-date inhalers back to the chemist for recycling.(DS2 used to have spares in school which were rarely used and no longer uses this type of inhaler).

    Not many INs

    -New Listerine mouthwash (with alcohol)
    -Large bubble bath (very MSE by Mr radio, who says this was to fill up the handwash)
    -Not very MSE by me, but I bought a new cola bottles handwash from Mr L.

    I also counted my stash of minis-gave up at 33, as kept finding more throughout the house! Most have been opened, but if any are intact, I'll put towards donation for foodbank (that will be in Nov or Dec challenge though).I have been successful in my Oct challenge though.

    Take great pleasure in finishing one and binning it!

    PS can anyone tell me how to post a question please as I'm new to all this!

    One UU from this morning:

    Superdrug Pink Fizz Shower Gel 250ml WBA. This was nice. For 99p, you can't complain as it's a nice scent and cleans well.
