    One UU this morning:

    Schwarzkopf Live Silver Shampoo 200ml - WPBA and mostly likely will, unless I find a different silver shampoo. This one is great and when I get it from Savers, much cheaper than Superdrug/Boots.

    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 Lotion

    I have ordered a set of Repluca perfume samples from Cult Beauty. I've wanted to try these for a while.  They are back in stock and I had 15% off. Seemed rude not to.

    I'm off work tomorrow.  Going having my brows done. I will buy a Benefit Bad Gal mascara and may get tge BM Blonzer and a MAC paint pot.
    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!

    I feel the same about Aldi and Lidl.  Companies spend years and a lot of money marketing their products and then they get ripped off completely, I have no real brand loyalty but I still think it is wrong, plus if it is just the packagaing that looks the same and the product is naff what is the point?  DD bought an Aldi clay mask that was a rip off of some other brand and it did nothing for her skin.

    A few years ago I had a mini Eyeko Skinny Brush mascara from an advent calendar or beauty box and I really loved it and bought a full size of it last year I think, anyway I've been using it and yesterday I decided to give up with it, it is soooo wet and the hole in the squeezy tube is quite wide and leaves a ton of product on the brush which no matter how careful I was it just got everywhere and just made my lashes clump together.  I did open a Collection lengthening mascara to use with it to try and brush through afterwards but that one seemed to have no product in at all.  The relevant bits of both are sat in my bag of makeup empties awaiting recycling.
