Two UU today:
Drunk Elephant Slaai Facial Cleanser. WBA. Really liked this and it lasted almost four months so well worth the money.
Espa Refining Facial Oil. WNBA. It was ok but I preferred the Aromatherapy Associates one.Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN5 -
One UU from last night:
Bumble and Bumble Don’t Blow It (Fine) 150ml - WDBA and have done. Love this stuff. I use this most days and the tube lasts me 6 months. Helps keep my hair from being frizzy.

Every month I change the eyeshadows that I am using to try and get good use from them. For this month I started using Too Faced Matte Eyes, this is not the new Natural Matte Eyes, it is the old version, I've never found the colours great on me although they do look lovely in the palette, I have (with much difficulty) depotted Tufted Suede and Chinchilla (I think that is the name) all the rest has gone. I also got rid of two other eyeshadows that I had depotted a while back, one had broken a bit and was a very, very dark brown of which I have so many and the other was a dark purple with shimmer.I have started using a Stila palette for this month now.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

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!

Two more UU to report, May is going well so far
Aveda Cherry Almond Conditioner. WBA. Have another in the stash
Umberto Giannini 60 second smooth hair treatment. WNBA. Prefer Elasticiser which I will move to now.Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN6 -
One IN today, I got the Barry M Super Mani 7 in 1 treatment for use as a basecoat, decided to try this rather than repurchase the 2 in 1 one that is my HG
ETA: one OUT tonight - LUSH pumpkin spice lip scrub - this came in a set I got half off on boxing day, I think these are a total scam personally, and the scent of this was turning disgusting so I used the remainder of the product to exfoliate in the shower. WNBA6 -
Finished the Estee Lauder primer. It's great holds the foundation on. I didn't realize that it seemed to tone down the orangness if a foundation oxidizes. I'm more likely to repurchase now that I see the foundation without it.
I'm throwing away a liquid shade, it is very bright and my days as a clown are over. It just doesn't work without a red nose and clown suit.

Hello Can I join in too please?
I haven't sorted a PP list yet but have looked at my stash and overflowing drawers of all sorts and was shocked! Last week I bought a Garden of Wisdom multipeptide serum ( it hasn't arrived yet) and then I've just found an unopened one at the back of a drawer!
I also have endless bath and shower gels and unopened........ I have over 4 Litres!!!!! Not parting with any though!
I have lovely make up but haven't used it for months!
You have all inspired me to stop buying and start using up!

Happy birthday lantanna
Hope everyone is keeping well. I think I'm starting to find lockdown and working from home full time difficult, had a difficult couple of days.
I have tidied up my make-up brushes and selected 4 of them to go. I put them on Olio app (essentially a food-sharing app but there is also non-food section) and someone requested them, so they are not going waste which is good.
I have UU'ed a big sample of Eucerin Dermo Purifyer cleaners. Too drying for me. I got around 12 use out of it though so pretty decent.I'm planning to use samples mainly this month as I have an enormous stash of them.
Also UU'ed Clarins Double Serum. WMBA in the future. I love it.
I had also UU'ed a Philosophy Grace candle I was keeping for special days. This was my PRCP item.ally.7
