    I have also decided to do a 21 in 2021 challenge.  Some of the products I have had for a while but with little use so really it’s a push for me to use them up.  If anyone is interested I am happy to list otherwise I will keep as a personal project so as not to bore you all.

    Take care all
    GMAT
    I am attempting to finish 21 in 2021 although I haven't pre-selected all my products.  I'm rotating stock in and then keeping in use once panned.  I'm not including staples like foundation, primer and concealer but am counting powder products and fragrance.  Would love to see your list.  I'll have a look at my notes later as to what I've finished already.

    Here's my finished list, so far:-
    1.  Bare Minerals mini lip lacquer Swank
    2. NARS Outlaw blush (part of Killing Me Softly palette)
    3. Colourpop Birthday Cake Supershock Shadow (full size)
    4. Too Faced eyeshadow called Heaven (Natural Eyes palette)
    5. Atelier Cologne Love Osmanthus (travel size)
    6. Urban Decay eyeshadow called Bathwater (Gwen Stefani palette)
    7. Colourpop Moonwalk Supershock Shadow (full size)
    8. Liz Earle No 9 Botanical Essence (full size)

    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!

    GMAT - I don't consider it cheating to double up on items.  I do it all the time because otherwise I would get overwhelmed by the amount of products in use and lose motivation due to lack of progress.

    I have sold a nail polish.  It is the other Orly one that came in the QVC kit.  Glad it's gone to a new home rather than me having another nude in my stash. 
    Am considering my Avon Mulberry lipgloss done.  The packaging is becoming so sticky due to the removal of the stopper.  It was nice enough.  Have other glosses of similar colour.

    After about 4 years on this thread :o I think I can safely say I have completed the challenge! o:) I have some LHJs still but I no longer feel I need to micro-manage my ins and outs anymore as I’m disciplined enough now to only buy when something is about to run out, and I’m getting rid of stuff that doesn’t meet my needs faster. Good luck everyone!  <3

    Well done.  I'm in a similar place to you just with more stuff to work through, I'm getting there though and only buy what I need now.

    Collection volumising mascara in ultra black - WMBA not too keen on the brush
    NYX mascara in Julep - WMBA liked the brush but not too sure on shade.



    GMAT
    I have so many problems with mascara. I have very short lashes and need a brush like Benefit Bad Gal Bang as it is thin. I’ve just bought 3 mini Tarte mascaras from Facebook in the hope that one of them will be a good dupe. I’m using an Elf one now but the brush is too bristly.
    INS - the 3 x mascaras mentioned above arrived yesterday.  The kit included a Tarte blush called Quirky which is a lovely coral colour. 
    Also my QVC Bare Minerals set arrived containing Complexion Rescue, Bounce and Blur blush called Mauve something and a Hydra lipstick called Grace.

    Bargain Boutique UK.
    QVSell is a really good one.  Everything is listed at a fair price determined by Admin so nobody is making a profit from items that may be GWP due to the kit prices.

    I found the QVSell one so will take a look at the other.

    Thank you
