Diving in at the 11th hour to report a couple of IN's from a necessary visit to Superdrug on Saturday for lady-goods - while there I also bought a couple of cans of deodorant (not declaring those though as they come under essentials!) plus - 2 boxes of hair colour, and got a free 100ml bottle of micellar water as a GWP too.
No UU's to declare sadly - my mini Clinique liquid facial soap is really close now though!

5 UUs 2 of which were makeup items. Overall happy with these figures.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!
