One UU from yesterday:
Noreva Sensidiane Soothing Micellar Lotion 500ml - WDBA and have done. Love this cleansing milk, so gentle and nourishing. This is what French Pharmacy skincare is brilliant at.

Two UU to report:
Laura Mercier Pistachio Body Cream. WBA. This was a proper LHJ but I love the fragrance. They don't seem to have it any more though.
Aromatherapy Associates Anti-Ageing Intensive Skin Treatment Oil. WBA. Have been using daily in place of morning moisturiser and my skin has never looked better.Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN7 -
My mum sent me a parcel and included:
IN Bliss Lemon and Sage Mega moisture+ massage soap
IN Elemis rehydrating ginseng toner
both NBI as she had tried them and rejected them, so now they are in my hands, and will be useful I'm sure. I feel like I am not going to have more outs than ins this month... we shall see.

uu7th Heaven Hot Spring Sauna Masque - this warmed up for about 1 second when it reacted with my wet skin, just a gimmick I know but we had it so I will use up these sachets, this had scrubby bits in it too. WNBLiz Earle IBST 50ml - technically I haven't used this but I have topped up the 200ml spray version of this with it so I will count it as used.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Two UUs from this morning:
Lush Snowflake Body Lotion 45g - WPNB. This was a nice rich lotion, but the scent is a bit much.
Nivea Pearl & Beauty Deodorant 50ml - WBA. This is a nice deodorant and lasts all day.

Two used up outs to report. Elizabeth Arden 75ml Visable Difference. Bought this in May last year in Tenerife. Have had a few of these over the years. Will buy again when I work through my moisturiser stash. Kiel’s Midnight Recovery Oil 30ml. Love this, have a 50ml in stocks I was gifted for Christmas.7

Hi everyone, I posted here yesterday but it has disappeared.
Hope all well and are enjoying the Sunday.
I have UU'ed the following:
TBS Glazed Apple Body Butter - nice enough but not my favorite. I have a lot of body lotions/butters to use before buying a new one, I probably WNBA. I prefer other TBS ones.
Loccitane Foot Cream - Love this and it lasts such a long time, I feel it is great value for money. WMBA.
TBS Vitamin C facial moisturiser - Bought this when travelling to Tel Aviv mid-Feb when I realised I forgot my face cream. It is nice and light. I like the Vitamin C series from TBS.
Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic : Love this and repurchase every now and then. WMBA in the future.
