BlabzBeautyBar Coconut cuticle oil
The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish
Lacura Glycolic pads
Liz Earle Skin Repair
SBC Salicylic Body wash
Skinsense Day CreamSkinsense Vitamin Complex serumSkinsense Retinol Body cream - DONE. This was not so great. Was very thick and difficult to rub in. WNBA.I forgot that I ordered their last kit on Auto Delivery from QVC and it arrived yesterday. I am returning it. I think there are only two products from the range that I have tried that have wowed me and they are the Leave on Mask (which I have a few of), and the Eye Concentrate. I like the day cream but not the fragrance so much. It's not as bad as the smell of their serum but it's there however I like the results I'm getting so will continue to purchase.
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've decided to call it a day on my Kat von D liquid lipstick in Nahz Fur Artoo. Thankfully, I only bought the mini size but it is so uncomfortable to wear. It's sad that I love the colour but it has become too drying.

A few UUs to report:
Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel 100g - WPBA. I love the scent of this and I like to save it for warmer months. I am a bit on the fence about Lush's morals and ethics lately. I've fallen out of love with them and I will probably only treat myself to something from Lush once in a while, not too often.
Bioderma Sensibio Light Moisturiser 40ml - WPNBA. I used to like this but it's made my skin feel weird. Luckily I have finished it when I noticed this, but I am glad to have my HG one back
And some INs:
Oral B Satin Tape 25m x 6
I was buying something on Amazon and to get free delivery I added these, as they will be used, and saves me from having to remember to buy it for the next few months

I UUed one of these small bottles of Snow Fairy which I chucked into my bath yesterday along with the rest of the SBC Salicylic acid shower wash that was in my PP list.sstevo19 said:A few UUs to report:

UU Bourjois Ingenude eyeshadow. I got this in an advent calender. It was ok but once I hit pan I got hard pan and had to scrape it from its container to us it up. It was a cream coloured shadow. I have other cream coloured shadows to use.

uuNo7 Lip Crayon in Statement - there is more to the name of this but it has rubbed off so I'm not sure what it was called. I will miss this, it is a lovely red, very glossy and glides on like a lipbalm with lots of tint and the colour lasts really well too.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

My updated lists. I'm using all the items on the PP list except the foot cream, the C&E body lotion might not get finished this month though. Of the Summer list, I am optimistic about the lip crayon being finished, no chance with the never ending eyeliner but the nude eyeshadow is going down well now. I use the powder a couple of times a week at most really and haven't touched the concealer which I keep saying I will declutter as it is old.

A few UUs and INs from the past few days to report:
UUs first:
A Florence Hydrating Gel to Milk Cleanser 200ml - WDBA and will do in the future 😊 This was so lovely to use and it was very gentle and hydrating as well. It is a bit pricey for a cleanser, but I used it mostly twice daily from January until May 😀
Maui Moisture Hibiscus Water Shampoo 385ml - WDBA and have done. I really do love this shampoo, doesn't weigh my hair down, doesn't irritate my scalp and it smells absolutely divine 😀
And a few INs from the other day:
Maui Moisture Hibiscus Water Shampoo 385ml
The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml
The Body Shop Aloe Calming Cream Cleanser 250ml
The Body Shop Shea Body Butter 200ml
Nivea Pearl & Beauty Deodorant 50ml
It was so nice to be able to go out shopping and to just even have a browse of shops again 😁
One TA as well:
Uriage Bariesun Mineral Stick SPF50+ Fragile Areas 8g
