One UU tonight:
The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml - WDBA and have done. Love this stuff, it's one of my HG cleansers

uuLiz Earle Skin Repair 50ml - I have always liked this but probably WNBA due to the plastic pot, I do have a 15ml tube left in the stash to use later.Decleor Purifying Night Balm 100ml - this is a salon size which I got for a reasonable price I assume as this is very expensive for a standard sized pot. I really liked this, it lasted for a very long time, smelt lovely and didn't break me out which I don't suppose it should as it is supposed to help congested skin, it's in a nice glass jar so I will hang onto that for decanting other things into.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Gosh Brow Kit (has 3 shades and a wax but I only use the darkest shade for brows)2. Burts Bees Lip Shimmer - Strawberry3. Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain in Lovesick4. Barbara Daly Trade Secrets Sheer lip melt in Adorable5. Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara6. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Powder Pink7. Rimmel Match Perfection FoundationMy updated lists. I forgot that I finished the Le Soft perfume stick yesterday, well sort of, there was a bit left but I wasn't enjoying the scent at all so I got rid, it was just a really, really sweet scent but not of anything in particular and sort of sickly really.There is only a couple more days with the 7 by Autumn items so there will be no change with them. The brow kit has major pan on the one shade I use so I will carry on with it, despite using the Revlon stain loads I've hardly made an impact and it is a bit bright for autumn for me, I will carry on with the other two lip products though. The blush has loads of pan but it never seems to get bigger. I will do a 7 by Christmas list soon.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

i think Decleor have discontinued the Herbal Clay mask. Still looking for a good cheaper alternative. If anyone knows of a good clay mask let me know.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

FinaLly, a UU - Bare Minerals Mineral Veil. I liked the pinky colour of this but find loose powder too messy. If I was given a pot I would use it. Have ordered a new Hourglass Dim Light powder. Had a gift card so saved £20 on it. Did order a Rituals shower gel to qualify for free shipping and will put this away for Emma for Christmas.
Drumroll please - I have hit pan finally in my Outlaw blush from the Killing Me Softly palette. Will add it to challenge above. It needs to be totally panned by Christmas.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I have a couple of UUs to report:
The Cure Collagen Sheet Mask - Bought this from TKMaxx in a pack of 5 a while back and it is ok. I'm not going to buy sheet masks anymore so WNBA.
Botanics Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm: This cleans make-up very well and very good value for money. However, it doesn't feel very luxurious on the skin and I find it a bit thick. WMBA if I'm looking for a cheaper alternative.
Clarins Hand Cream: Cut this open earlier in the month and I love the product itself. I just have too many hand creams in my stash so WNBA anytime soon.
Indeed 10 Balm: This was from an LF beauty box and it has an amazing texture. It is for sensitive skin which I don't have but I feel it is very gentle and worth a try if suits your skin type.
Clinique Take The Day Off Make Up Cleanser Lashes, Lips, Lids: Take the Day off Balm is one of my favourites and this is also a very effective product but I don't need a separate cleanser for eye/lips. I buy this if it is a GWP or if there is an offer like 3 for 2 and it lasts for a long time but I avoid plastic where I can so WNBA.
I still have a lot of products and it is a bit depressing after actively not buying and using up/giving away/selling what I have. However, I'm on the right direction and my stash is definitely more manageable.ally.4 -

At the moment I’m using The Ordinary Rosehip oil.
Anyone still after the orginal formula can still get some (at the moment) from QVC https://www.qvcuk.com/Liz-Earle-Skin-Repair-Trio.product.242725.html?sc=PSCH2
