No7 Lip Crayon in Statement - still using as regularly as I can2. Barbara Daly Trade Secrets Sheer lip melt in Adorable - b/f from the last challenge - I have this in my car to use as a lipbalm as it just wears off too quickly to use as lipstick4. Miss Sporty Stick Concealer - b/f from the last challenge - still using but there is loads left5. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - barely touched this6. Soap & Glory nude eyeshadow from quad - using nearly every day but it never looks any different7. Bare Minerals Eyeliner in Plum - b/f from the last challenge - using regularly but it will last a lifetime I thinkFinal update of the month. I haven't really made much progress this month but there should be quite a few things finished in May.I had to call into town to collect an M&S order this morning (first time I've been in there since Christmas 2019) and I called into the health food shop and bought DS and DH a Sukin moisturiser, it was only £6.99 for 125ml which I thought was good value.I was very annoyed whilst in town that the whole place but particularly M&S was full of old biddies on sticks and my poor DD is stuck at home until next Friday as a classmate tested positive, she can't see anyone, go to work or take her driving lesson at the weekend, even though they are all perfectly fine and all the vulnerable are supposedly protected, why is no one shouting from the rooftops about this?Sorry off topic rant over but I have just had enough of how badly kids are suffering.Sorry to hear about your job London_baby, we should all brace ourselves for hearing a lot more of that.

Final declaration for April.
UU
The Inkey List Q10 serum 30ml - WNBA as felt this did nothing for my skin.
GA
Bare Minerals prime time foundation primer spf30 30ml. Currently using one of these and I do not like it.
Unfortunately I have quite a few INs to declare as I went on a spending spree to make myself feel better (don’t know why as it’s not going to bring mum back).
IN
MUA mattifying face primer
MUA loose setting powder in white
MUA foundation stick in 120
MUA liquid lipstick in anti-gravity

Revolution liquid lipstick in bouquet
Revolution liquid lipstick in chocolate orange
Revolution brow pomade pen in ash brown
Revolution brow pencil in brown
Barry M nail varnish in lemon sorbet
Malvala nail varnish in cyber chic
Malvala nail varnish in solaris
Nails Inc sos pen
Revolution blotting papers
Revolution eye shadow palette in mermaid
Revolution eye shadow palette in pandemonium
Revolution eye shadow palette in all we have is now
Revolution liquid lipstick in violet
Revolution liquid lipstick in dollhouse (this did not have the protective wrapper on it so they are sending out a new one)
Revolution liquid lipstick in white wedding
Revolution liquid lipstick in cutie
Revolution liquid lipstick in raw (this was sent instead of rose which I ordered. They are sending rose out to me)

Waken mouthwash in blackcurrant & mint
Wild deodorant in fresh cotton & sea salt

Wild deodorant in orange zest.Really quite disappointed in myself and writing it all down makes me feel sick. The only thing I really needed was a serum as knew I would run out. The foundation I’m okay with as I only have 1 other and that’s a powder and the nail varnish is helping me in not biting my nails but I really didn’t need to buy 3. Everything else I really didn’t need.
See you all back in May.

I did tally up but don’t have the figures handy atm. Am pleased however that I finished the Bare Minerals bronzer yesterday. Will now recommence work on the mini Benefit Hoola one.
Sorry to hear about your job londonbaby and dolly84 it also angers me how children have suffered over the last year. I think though that we have to be mindful that everyone in Society has been affected and not all those people deemed to be vulnerable felt that they were and are quite angry too at not being able to live their lives as independently as they were capable of hence why they are out and about now.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

asajj said:I have cut open Lacura Vitamin C Facial Cleanser. It is an ok cleanser but I don't like Aldi dupping other brands really so not sure if I would buy it again. Also UU'ed Japanfusion (Beauty Pie) Day Cream. Great product and would buy it again once I order from BP.
I have selected 5 products from my cupboard to finish by end of this month as I have a lot of more than half-used products taking up space.
Finish by EOM:
- Japanfusion Hydra Prep Lotion
- B. Hydrated Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz
- Clarins SOS Hydra Refreshing Face Mask
- Clinique Supercharged Serum
- Estee Lauder Take it Away Makeup Remover Lotionally.3 -
