Did a bit of research yesterday regarding possible stop-gap replacements for the Clinique Moisture Surge and apparently Neutrogena Hydroboost gel-cream is meant to be pretty close so I may swing by Boots later and see if they have it. They might not as the store local to work in teeny - but we'll see!
Let us know if you try it and what you think. I’m a moisture surge fan to.2 -
UU:
Ole Henriksen overnight gel (in a blue pot) part of a travel set, so roughly 8 mls. Nothing special.The former wondercollie2 -

L'oreal Colour Riche Nail Polish mini in Opulent Pink - turns out these polishes have names and numbers, this was a hot reddish pink. It had got quite thick and again a lot of tipping and rolling to get two coats on my toes, I do have Seche Restore but for the amount that was in the bottle I didn't think it was worth using it. As ever there is an amount at the bottom that you just can't get to.
DD put three empty heat protectors out for recycling this morning, I will have a look in my stash to see if I have any more as I rarely use heat on my hair, I leave the curls to air dry and maybe once a month I straighten it.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

3 more UUs:-
Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. HG. Awaiting replacement.
LUSH Cup o Coffee. I do love this but will probably look for something else as I rarely get to LUSH these days.
Bare Minerals Lashtopia mascara. Was hoping to eek this out until my freebie from Maybelline came in the post but it hasn't arrived and this was depositing flaky bits all over my eyelids yesterday. Have opened a Bare Minerals Lash Domination instead.
Two more UUs
Jack Wills body spray. WNBA.
Paco Rabanne Olympia. WNBA but would use if gifted.
Amika Bombshell Blowout done. Will repurchase.
Am hoping to finish the Jack Wills spray, Prep & Prime and Olympea body lotion this week.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I will do - I'm actually leaning towards a No 7 one now having tried a tester of that yesterday lunchtime. It felt lovely and only is very lightly fragranced.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

One UU from last night:
Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial 5ml sample I'm undecided on this. It was surprisingly nice, and the morning after I've used my skin feels lovely. But I don't think I would spend the £44 for a full size. If I received it as a gift though, I would happily use it. I think it's the first Drunk Elephant sample I've tried that I actually like.4 -
uuM&S Ingredients Raspberry Lip Butter - this has been in my life for many years and needed to be finished, it was as lovely at the end as it was when new.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Two INs today:
Oral B Satin Tape 25m
Soaper Duper Shea Deluxe Shea Hand Cream 75ml
Both necessary. After I finished work today, I noticed the EOS hand cream I keep in my bag for work isn't keeping my hands moisturised at all. So the Soaper Duper one is to use when my hands are extra dry.5 -

Carrying over couple of items from January and also a couple of new contenders:
PP list
Lush Lip Scrub
Rituals Hand Scrub
Poison Girl Perfume
Nip Fab Dragon Blood Serum
Clarins Detox Booster
Clarins Body Lotion
2 x samples
Ok so two UU from my list. I loved Poison Girl and WDBA but will go through some other bottles of perfumes i have first.
Lush Lip Scrub (honey) - this is so good and tasty! I WBA at some point.
I had a bath last night and used a Lush bath bomb. I might be missing out something but I don't find them that good, never really feel very different to me than other bath bombs. I also used a Coconut Bubble bath tablet from TBS. I think these are amazing value for money and are great buys when on offer.
I'm officially out of foundation. Will look at my cupboard first if I do have a spare tube but I might need to purchase this weekend.

Gave DD my last heat protector, it was a L'oreal one which is supposed to help keep your hair straight, I have used it and will borrow it from her if I need it. Also gave her The Body Shop Lightening Touch Highlighter pen.
