    Last UU for the month:
    Superdrug artiscent Spring fleur EDP : WNBA, supposed to be a dupe for a Chloe perfumr but is very weak, re-purposed as a bathroom spray. 

    Ins:
    These were mindless browsing in-town purchases that I will have to be careful of now that the world is opening up. Will try harder to avoid more purchases for the rest of the year.
    3 x Primark gel effect nude colours
    Superdrug brunette wash in colour conditioner

    Hello everyone and hope you will have a great bank holiday weekend.
    I have UU'ed Beauty Pie SPF 25 - I can stay this is a HG as it doesn't break me out and sits well under make up. I have more in stash but i might try couple of other brands this summer.
    Also UU No7 HydraLuminous Moisturising Foundation - This is also a HG and perfect value for money as it is often on 3for2 offer. It isn't too heavy, works well on my dry skin.
    I visited the local Boots store and they expanded their brand offering. They have now Ordinary in store so I purchased Coffee Solution and Glycolic Toner so that's 2 INs.

    One UU tonight:
    The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml - WDBA and have done. One of my HG cleansers :smile:

    I finished mine this morning too. Have more in stash, Got back from our trip to Whitby and York today. No other UUs. No INs either though I did try to buy the Bare Minerals Blonzer from Fenwick, They think it is an online exclusive. I did order some Bare Minerals lip pencils from Facebook as they were really cheap and received an Autodelivery of the Orly kit from QVC.
    I did hit pan in another shadow from my MAC Princess Jasmine palette too.
    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!

    Last UUs:
    IC fantasia anti frizz serum - WNBA, better products on the market.
    Sainsbury's spf30 sunscreen - WMBA, the best supermarket product so far.
    Superdrug Goji & berry cleansing pads - WNBA, very thin pads so you need to use double to remove make-up, also switched to double cleansing method with oil & creamy balms.

    Ins:
    Cetraben cream - GWP 
    Aphogee shampoo for damaged hair

    Will work on using more make-up and nail polish during the summer.
