Clinique Moisture Surge 30 ml. Good in my never ending winters, especially when it’s -15
Garnier body lotion sample pouch. Did the job, not even sure that product is still produced.
Yves Rocher. Serum Vegetal. 2 pouches decanted into the half used pump bottle.

Essence lipstick in a shade that a five yo girl loved. Yes it was bright and I knew I’d never wear it, part of a Christmas box set.
l’Occitane cherry blossom hand cream 10 ml to a coworker who’s having skin issues due to all the hand washing.
now I’ve fit a lovely rash around my mouth from the mask wearing. Suggestions gratefully accepted.5 -

In the past I've used Elizabeth Arden 8hr Cream on rashes and had good results.

They are so nourishing.Not sure if it is available in Canada but I really rate the Ultrasun lip balm I am using.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

UU Benefit Porefessional primer - the one in a pink tube. WNBA. Felt very siliconey. Back to my lovely MAC Prep N Prime Radiance today. I want to really work on some eyeshadows and a lipgloss this week. Want to hit pan in the shadow(s) and finish the lipgloss.

A few INs today:
Purito Comfy Water Sun Block SPF50+ 60ml
Bumble and Bumble Don’t Blow It (Fine) 150ml
Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Shampoo + Conditioner sample
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo + Conditioner sample
Bumble and Bumble Don’t Blow It (Fine) sample

I'm nearing the end of my current SPF and wanted something that would arrive quick-ish. I'm excited to try it. And I've nearly finished my current tube of Don't Blow It and took advantage of the 5 free samples offer. Samples will get used somewhat quickly.6 -
Thanks for the thread.
I will post my PP list later

UU Boots Botanics Organic Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm 97% Organic
not my cup of tea whatsoever, personally I hated the consistency and the smell was so disgusting. Much prefer pretty much any other hot cloth cleanser I have tried.
Very exciting to see so many UU products from everyone! Stay safe x9 -
I cut open the Gingerbread Swirl body lotion this morning so hopeful this will be done before the end of the week. I've also been tipping substantial amounts of the Propolis gel into bath water too. Have needed more baths due to doing workouts that leave me walking like John Wayne!Whilst looking through Emma's spare stash, that returned with her from Uni, for a new body wash I came across a bottle of The Body Shop Vitamin C Peel. As it's not been brought into rotation since her return I have adopted it. She said that she didn't particularly like it anyway. Tried it last night and, at first, it left me with some texture on the side of my face however today my skin is smooth so will endeavour to use this twice a week as directed.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

A few UUs from the last few days:
The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml - WDBA and have done. One of my favourite cleansers. Love the scent. I love using this to take off my SPF at the end of the day.
Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Shampoo + Conditioner sample - WNB. I love the scent but I've used a full size of both in the past and now it just dries my hair out.
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo + Conditioner sample - WMB as a full size but probably not. This was a lot better for my hair. My hair feels very light but not dry.
Uriage Bariesun Mineral Stick SPF50+ Fragile Areas 8g - WBA and have done. This is nice to use around my eyes to avoid my face SPF going into my eyes and stinging them.
