Unfortunately no UUs with these LHJ items but I hope to use up more sunscreen this week!
I just wanted to spread the news of reycling centres available for those awkward products, which cannot be put in normal recycling. Perhaps we can add the links to the sticky post?
Make up products, including eye shadow palettes:

Toothpaste and toothbrushes here (Unfortunately, the website is not the greatest in terms of user interface)
Disposable Contact lenses can also be recycled at your opticians if they are are part of the recycling scheme here

Thanks for that. I have a bag of stuff I was hoping to drop off at TBS but it has to be at specific ones which I never actually go to so it would need to be a special trip.

I gave away a pot of Laura Mercier setting powder today. Have tried to use it. Only noticed at weekend that in broad daylight it looks like a glitter bomb on my face.
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 out used up Simple Eye make up remover 50ml. Really starting to see a massive difference in my bathroom and dressing table now. With no more beauty boxes I expect to see a massive dent in it all by the end of the year.7

Aldi body moisturizer out . It is a knock off of Jo malone, nice fragrance but very light.
Finished a garnier body moisturizer. It is geat after the gym but I bought it on offer and have no intention of paying full price.
Clarins flask mask out. It lingered so long that I had to just finish it up. I have some other types unopened and don't feel it is special enough.

Maybe although it was marked "translucent". I've pulled the sifter off the bottom of my current Bare Minerals Mineral Veil now too. I do like this one but prefer a pressed powder for less fuss.
