    One UU this morning:

    Soft & Gentle Lavender & Patchouli Deodorant 50ml WMBA. I like the scent of this one. I'll probably buy it again.

    One more UU from PP List:

    Mio Boob Tube Bust Cream - This was from a beauty box and it was ok i guess.

    Another UU - NuFace Gel Primer for my facial toner device. I have another one in use.

    Cut open my Oskia cleanser today.

  • 2 ins today - No7 Match Made Concealer in Calico & No7 StayPerfect Superlight Foundation in Calico.

    Got the tiniest bit of concealer left which won’t last the week so had to get that. Bought foundation as it’s always a need and it put the amount bought over £15 and I had a voucher to get additional advantage points if I spent over that. Won’t need to start using the foundation for a few weeks but it means I don’t need to go to Boots again for a few weeks now hopefully.

    UU
    75ml Sensodyne Sensitive & Gum toothpaste 1/1
    10ml Clarins Extra Comfort Toning Lotion 2/2

    IN
    50ml Soltan Face SPF50 1/1 ETA bought with Advantage Points.

    I need to remember to buy AP/Deo next week, the one that I thought was at least half full, from my weekend bag seems to have very little left in:(

    I have a re-occurrence of a patch of dermatitis on my cheekbone near to my right eye has broken out again, can't get many of my daily products near to it as it stings like the blazes, will slow my UU rate if it lasts for long:eek:

    7 INs from LF Beauty Box (1 of them re-usable pads so 6 products).

    Had a bath tonight. I don't like the amount of water I have to waste to have a bath and I never can get the bubbles right so only once in a while will be having a bath as a treat. Used a bath fizzer and a bomb. I decided to UU Rituals Hammam Shower gel that was in the cupboard this morning. Looks like it wasn't full and only had one use out of it.

    I also painted my nails with Flormar - Rose Taboo. I'm terrible at painting my own nails but can't resist buying nail polishes. I will make an effort to UU them and not to buy anymore in the future...

    Clinique seven day scrub -- gwp size (30mls?) Pretty much a staple. Got a full size one and another GWP size in the stash.

    Elizabeth Arden 8 hour lip balm. Really like this and have another one in the stash. Stupid thing was I opened a L'Occitane shea butter stick (I meant to put it in DIL's stocking) and I don't really like it as much as the 8 hour! So now I'm stuck with it.

    I really do need to just buy what is good and I like rather than dither and buy cheaper products because they might be good!

    I thought I had lost my Ultrasun lip balm yesterday and was nearly beside myself. Eventually found it down a cushion of the sofa and all is well in the World again.
    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!
