    One UU from last night:

    Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion (Light) 170ml - WPBA. This is the old version, they reformulated it last year and I don't know if I'm going to try the new one, I'm a bit worried about the fermented ingredients in the new one. But this version was so good, I will miss it.

      I've tried a few mascaras recently.  It's not the formula that is the problem but the wands.  They are either too big, too bristly or both.  Think I may have to continue using these two products until I find a better alternative. 
    I've kept a clean wand of a used up mascara which I use with any mascara I buy, purely because I like the wand itself so much! Worth a go.

    Now, that's thinking outside the box.  Thank you.  I did buy a new mascara yesterday so at least I'll have a wand handy.
    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!

    UU: 

    The Ordinary 100% Plant based squalane - WNBA, nice enough but I think better suited for those with oily skin. 

    Ins:
    Went on a splurge over the weekend to make myself feel better after hearing that I'll be redundant some time this year, so I won't be graduating any time soon. 

    2 x Superdrug Polyglutamic acid - Inkeylist dupe
    2 x Superdrug Salicylic acid cleanser- Cerave dupe
    1 x Hyaluronic acid cleanser - Cerave dupe
    2 x Superdrug warm chocoate colour rinse- trying to cover greys without permanent hair dyes 
    1x Superdrug spf30 anti-oxidant booster - To avoid white cast from sunscreen
