    UUs:
    Cerave moisturising cream - WNBA, disappointing as I really wanted to like ot but it did nothing for my skin. Hoping the cicaplast balm that I ordered is better.
    Asda Jasmine & Starflower handwash - WMBA, surprisingly good.
    Lidl cotton wool pads - HG
    Beauty base light blue nail polish - WNBA

    Ins:

    2 more UUs yesterday
    A cuticle oil pen from an Etsy seller.  I bought this ages ago and didn't use it until the last week or so.  It's lovely stuff but feel I may be going through it too fast.  Have ordered two replacements - one for me and one for MRM. 
    SkinsSense Retinol Eye Concentrate.  This is beautiful.  The applicator has three little metallic nozzles that are great for massaging my eye bags.  Feel that there has been improvement in both the clarity of the skin and my fine lines.  I do have another in stash however I also have another eye product from Skinsense (different range) and think I will try that next to compare results.
    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!

    Ins:
    Click & Research hair protection spray product tester
    L'Oreal Elvive No hair cut cream - Really hoping this and above product improve the condition of my hair. If not, I'll have to grit my teeth and buy Olaplex.

    UUs:
    Miaroma almond oil - WMBA to improve hair
    Mitchum shower fresh antiperspirant spray - HG

    Don't think I will need anything else for awhile as I'm fully stocked on basic toiletries. Hope to report more outs.

    From the past week:

    UU Tick Tock Bath Bomb - thanks for the recc VALM I agree it was so moisturising! 

    UU Butterbear Bath Bomb - I like this in principle, and it is very moisturising but I wouldn't go out of my way to have this again, it feels quite underwhelming compared to the bath bombs with more colourful results

    I might be about to finish my last body moisturiser, I thought this day would never come! Hopefully by end of Jan


    Here is my current PP list:

    AVEDA Damage Remedy intensive restructuring treatment

    Burts Bees Lip Balm

    Yaoh Organic moisturiser

    Palmer's Cocoa Butter

    Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Damson

    I have UU'ed a hand cream from Rituals (cherry blossom & rice milk) - I love Rituals products and this was no exception. I have too many other hand creams to use up first but WBA.

    I wish I had bought more.  I UU a Groovy Kind of Love and Snow Fairy mini bath bomb at weekend.  The first was as moisturising s Tick Tock.  I just don't get the love that people feel for Snow Fairy. 

    Other UUs this weekend
    L'occitane mini (15ml) shea hand cream.  Used to love this and it's still nice but not CF.
    The Ordinary Roship oil.  I like the results I get with this but not the fragrance.  Have several serums and oils to use before I consider what to repurchase.
    The Inkey List Caffeine eye cream.  HG.  More in stash.

    Hi...just joining you all as I need to cut down on my toiletries. I don't buy that many, I just have loads to use up!

    I have completed an inventory today of all my items, and they total 94. Not sure how this compares with others, but please note this does not include any make up as I don't use any.

    IN
    4 Conditioners in error with online grocery order as I meant to buy shampoo as almost used up the last one I had!

    4 Shampoos! I got it right this time! 
    I have a bathroom and two ensuites, so put one of each in each shower. Luckily I only had leave in conditioners in my stash, so didn't duplicate what I had. Now I'll have to begin using these, and I'm sure my hair will be better for it.

    I bought 4 so one would be a spare in my bedroom drawer.

    TA 
    2 small toothpastes, gone hard
    3 OOD stick deodorants
    1 OOD nail hardener
    1 OOD nail rescue
    1 OOD body lotion
    1 OOD coconut oil

    GA
    Lip butter and body lotion transferred to gift drawer

    PP
    Florentyna white flowers eau de toilette

    Weleda rose deodorant

    India Hicks body lotion...love this, but no longer on sale and I've been using it sparingly

    India Hicks eau de toilette, as above

    The 3 shower gels in each shower. All different but two I'm not so keen on. 

    I found two out of date bath gels, and I have newer ones to use. Any idea what
     I could use these for? 

    I think I've got the abbreviations right, I hope to use up some of the items soon and when I do I'll be back to report.

    Welcome frogletina xx

    i had an IN yesterday- the cuticle oil that I ordered from Etsy. I did the opposite to you in that I thought I ordered 2 but only one came. I have noticed that the Etsy shop sells a 15ml dropper bottle too so have ordered one of these instead of the pen. I’ll put the pen in my handbag to use at lunch times. My cuticles are much improved with this oil.
