A few ins today but only a couple that I want to add to my stash. A couple of cheap and cheerful smellies will be going to charity.
Daughter bought me a Bodyshop British rose set that I will keep and use-I like it. There is a butter in it but it's small so I will try to use it before it goes off.

I was thoroughly spoiled yesterday. I think it’s safe to say that the only products I’ll need to buy for the foreseeable future are hair care, my HG Elemis cleanser, cotton wool, deodorant and vitamin C serum (to which i’ A new convert and have ordered from a QVSELL member).
From memory I got
Jeffree Starr lip lacquer in Christmas Cookie
Urban Decay lipgloss in Fuel
Benefit set containing Big Banf mascara, Dandelion, a brow product and rider
Mac Prep n Prime primer
Essie Scrub
Liz Earle c&p, toner, skin relief, lip balm, fragrance no 9, mini c&p and toner
Paco Rabanne Olympia set with fragrance, plus travel sized and body lotion
Kat Von d Tattoo liner
Kat Von d saint and sinner 10ml each
OPI Aurora Berry-Ali’s
Morphs Jaclyn Hill Ring The Alarm palette
Real Techniques brush set x 2 and travel atomiser from Secret Santa at work
Kat Von D Foundation
A presoaked sponge that will be interesting to try
I got a few bottles of wine from friends at work and a lovely bee brooch. Emma got me a gorgeous pair of slippers too.
Feeling very grateful and blessed.

Shower gel - still untouched (STILL)
Smashbox Full Exposure palette. Shimmery shadow FINISHED
Dip in matte shade. Dip no bigger.
Rich Girl from Too Faced Chocolate Gold. Pan is increasing,
Colourpop Supershock shadow Birthday Cake - used a few times. Pan does not appear to be expanding!
MAC Dare You lipstick in constant use.
NARS Gilda and Outlaw blushers. Still ongoing (as ever).
I did finish 5 products x
If anyone is interested in 7 by Spring, please join in. I’m going to roll over the following
Rich Girl eyeshadow from Chocolate Gold palette
MAC Dare You lipstick
NARS Gilda Blush
NARS Outlaw Blush
And add in
Rollin In Dough from Chocolate Gold palette
Stila Gilded Gold from In The Light palette
Hourglass bronzer from the Edit 4 palette
Goal is to finish the Rich Girl and Gilded Gold eyeshadows as they have sizeable pan, hit pan in the two blushers (this has got to be achievable surely as I’ve been using them for 10 months already) and to keep the bronzer and lipstick in rotation. I want to weigh the lipstick to see how far i’ve Come with it. The bronzer has probably been used once or twice. The two face powers that I have panned from this palette took 6 months each so maybe it’s achievable.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Merry Christmas everyone :rudolf:
My By Christmas challenge didn’t go great but at least some progress was made:
Soap & Glory lipgloss - only use this on weekends occasionally, it’s getting on now but still seems ok, will roll over
Elf rose gold liquid eye shadow - use regularly now and happy to use up at this rate, will remove from PP list
Loreal silver liquid eye shadow - not used! And yet I still feel the need to give myself another chance to over the holiday period so will roll over!
Neals Yard Wild Rose Beauty Balm - feels time consuming to use and you don’t need a lot, but I love it so must.use.more. Will roll over.
Neals Yard Calendula cleanser - holes in packaging worried it will expire - only has a couple of uses left I think, will use when can’t be bothered to use above!
Hit pan on 4 least used eyeshadows in palette - experimented with these but I know I will never hit pan and I’m fine with that, removing from PP list
Loreal lipgloss - the only thing I UU’d!!
Had my fingers crossed that I would not receive any toiletries as gifts, we did receive one though: Nivea 5 piece body set. I’m not going to count this as IN because my OH will likely use most of it.
Managed to avoid the Nars softcore blush and balm set I had my eye on at the Boxing Day sales today, mainly because there was only one shade left and I wasn’t sure if it was right for me but the counter was unstaffed, and the lip balm was particularly tiny. Probably won’t get to a Nars counter until the new year so if I see it online reduced further I might take a cheeky chance!0 -
1 UU today, but no toiletries gifts received :j
40ml Sure Invisible Deo/AP 6/88 I have started the last one from stash, so will need to buy in a while.
Really pleased not to have any toiletries gifts, but I have ordered myself a set of 4 Alpha-H serums which have been on my wish list for a while, really good price from QVC, all 4 for the price of 1 from Cult Beauty. Also pondering placing an order for some Goat's milk products, an intro set is a fantastic price, but they (unusually for sets) are offering a 25% discount on top.
I have started a file of all the suppliers I use, as soon as I have completed it I will unsubscribe from all e-mails, as I know I will have enough of all skincare for 2020:o
Will need to buy at some stage, Deo, toothpaste, shampoo, dry shampoo and spf. I have plenty of conditioner and styling products (unless I change my hairstyle), I will keep Beauty Pie sub going and hopefully have a re-stock in the Autumn as I have some HGs with them.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
