A-England were doing a 3 for c£10 from a limited list of nail polishes, not included in this challenge, but although I am trying to have a bit of a purge of old/unliked NP I succumbed to 3 pretty shades. Not much happening with my PP list, going to be a poor month. Like asajj I am accumulating quite a balance with Beauty Pie, probably will place a big order in March , but am waiting for an item on my wishlist which is marked as "coming soon" to be restocked as it is a HG. Thank you for mentioning the QI Energy cream, I will remove it from my wishlist.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)5

So my skin has got really irritatedI had been trying to gradually introduce my items to use up but unfortunately last week 3 products ran out at the same time. So its either my Kiehl's calendula face wash, Kiehl's defence mineral suncream or the Trilogy mist toner.I have decided to remove anything that could be irritating from my stash and so I've had a bit of a spree for replacement itemsI have looked for products that are free from fragrance and drying alcohols. In the meantime, I am putting exfoliation on hold and going back to products I have used before. Already seeing an improvementUUsPrai decolletage cream sample - WNB but did actually leave my neck very soft!Kiehl's ultra light daily UV defense aqua gel - WNB, not cruelty freeTrilogy vital moisturising cream - WNBA, just okClinique take the day off - WBALush herbalism - WNBA, fragranceMAC base Lumiere - WNB, I like something more mattifyingLush eau roma - WNBA, fragranceNoughty wave hello shampoo - WBAINsBioderma Sensibio Micellar Water x2Curel makeup remover gelI have a collection of stuff to get rid of but I would like to try and give away instead of throw away.6

I have a nail polish UU yesterday.: OPI mini in Boys Be Thistling at Me. Would not repurchase. Not a fan of purple though it was ok.
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!

A few INs today:
La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water 150ml
Schwarzkopf Live Silver Shampoo 200ml
Oral B Satin Tape 25m
I was out with a friend today and we popped into Boots and Savers.So I got a few sort of necessary items.5 -
uuBenefit Champagne Pink Eyeshadow - this was from the Passport to Posh palette I think, I took out what I liked from that palette ages ago and got rid of the clunky packaging. This was a lovely shadow and it suited me really well, I have others like it in the stash including UD Sin I think it is.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

A few INs today:
The Body Shop Almond Milk & Honey Hand Cream 30ml
The Body Shop Shea Body Butter 200ml
I got myself a few treats after my dentist appointment this morning, as I was in the same city that has my closest The Body Shop store. I also got a bag full of samples from the woman who served me, but I'm not going to list them as I will probably use them up quite quickly.4 -
UU Yorkshire Soap Co Happy in Harrogate - this lasted forever would definitely repurchase when I need more soap
UU LUSH Sleepy shower bomb - never had one of these before it was quite cool! A shower seems like too much of a fleeting experience to spend this much money on but would maybe buy again
