Bath & Body Works Body Cream. Tube cut open.
The Inkey List Lactic acid
Colourpop lip scrub. It’s being neglected.Cereve moisturiser. I liked this but the sample size came in a small 20g bottle which made it difficult to get a consistent measurement out each time. If the packaging is different on a full size I may consider purchasing but have other moisturisers in stash to use as night cream for now.I have had a mini declutter of nail polishes recently - the minis I've been working through. Have thrown away Dreams need Clara-Fication and Dazzling Dew Drops as the colours did not suit me. Also thrown away Leighton Denny Plush Pink. Managed to paint my toes with it yesterday but then it was done. Am now working on Lavendare to Find Courage which is a very underwhelming sheer colour.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!

One UU from last night:
Schwarzkopf Live Silver Shampoo 200ml - WDBA and will do at some point. This was lovely, does it what it claims to do, my hair looks less brassy after using this.

I've ordered 4 x pots of Lacura Glycholic pads. Love these. Have ordered online because it's not easy now bobbing into a shop on the off chance that they have something in stock.I replaced the Cerave moisturiser with a tube of Liz Earle Skin Repair last night and it felt so lush when I applied it.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

1 UU today - Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Foam. This was a GWP and I used it for my second cleanse.
It is very moisturising, doesn't dry the skin out and very gentle. I'm not sure if it is still available (shows as sold out on EL website) but it isn't a product I need so probably WNBA. If you have dry skin, it might worth a try. £28 isn't cheapest price but I've gone through whole tube over 4-5 months so works out ok.ally.7 -
A few INs today:
Heimish All Clean White Clay Foam Cleanser 30ml
Purito Comfy Water Sun Block SPF50+ 60ml
Purito Deep Sea Pure Water Cream sample
Purito From Green Deep Foaming Cleanser sample
Got a back up of my current favourite SPF and got a mini version of a cleanser I've had a sample of before to try.5 -
A few IN's from the past week
A seaweed soap from a small shop
Lavera Naturkosmetik Purifying Scrub with Ginkgo and Jojoba pearls - I had nothing like this left, and had been using an old one my partner was gifted and never uses but I've had enough of it and wanted one for when I had spots.
Also placed a LUSH order online:
LUSH New Shampoo Bar - I had no shampoo at all and had been co-washing for a month or two but this sounded exactly what I wanted
I also some nice bath things, this was before we entered a heatwave and now a bath is laughable but will save...
LUSH Brightside Bubble Bar - Will try and conserve by slicing up for multiple uses
LUSH You've Been Mangoed Bath Oil - If I understood correctly this is getting discontinued and if so I am very sad because I love it.

One UU from this morning:
La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water 300ml - WBA. This is great for when I'm using the Hada Labo lotion. Replaced with the back up I got a few weeks ago.

The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml
The Body Shop Shea Body Butter 200ml
Oral B Satin Tape 25m
Two treats for myself after my dentist appointment this morning, and an essential.5 -

savingfortomorrow - sadly I've never come across anything which smells as good as C&E La Source, it is the coast in a bottle and I love it.uuGarnier Summer Body Moisturising Lotion 400ml - I find this really effective with no nasty smell, it seemed to be going on forever at the end and I thought there was just a tiny bit left so I squeezed the bottle really hard and absolutely loads came out so I was slathered in it.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
