    Avon Cherish EDP b/f from October
    Avon Pomegranate & Peony Bubble Bath 1L b/f from October
    Poppy King Lip Crayon in Singing

    Korres Fig Body Lotion
    Korres Fig Shower Gel
    Miaflora Melon Seed Oil



    My 7 by Christmas list
    1.  Revolution Foundation Stick - b/f from last challenge
    2. Soap & Glory dark brown eyeshadow from a quad
    3. Stila Eyeshadow in a dark matt pink/brown (this is a tiny pan taken from a palette) - b/f from last challenge
    4. Brillo lipgloss in a pale coral colour - keep this in the car to use
    5. Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara mini - b/f from last challenge
    6. Model Co Cream Blush - finally hit pan 29/11.
    7. Smiths Rosebud Salve - b/f from last challenge




    I'm finishing the month with just the perfume on my PP list to carry over.

    Finally hit pan today on the blush in my Christmas challenge, it won't be done this year but hitting pan was my goal.  The Stila eyeshadow is just a thin ring now and bits keep breaking off so that may get finished, no chance of the brown eyeshadow or lipgloss being done though.  I have just a bit of the salve left and am hopeful that I will be done with that soon.

    I've been meaning to post for days now but just seem so busy, busy, busy.  Anyhow, UUs:-

    John Frida red shampoo.  Repurchased.

    Duck Island handwash.  We brought this back from a trip to York. Would not seek out to repurchase.

    LUSH Puppy Love, LUSH Alien and LUSH Pumpkin bubble bars.  All lovely.

    Mandala SOS moisturiser.  I got this in a GWP goodie bag.  It was pink coloured and thin in texture.  WNBA.

    Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish.  Repurchased.

    Winkylux concealer - sample size.  Was lovely but I still like the ELF one which is cheaper.

    Benefit Bad Gal Bang.  Replaced from stash.  Have requested more from Santa.

    Skinsense day cream.  Replaced from stash.  When these are all done I intend to try The Inkey List Retinol.
    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:

    Mellor and Russell hair dye - WNBA, originally liked, but not suitable for high porosity hair as the colour seems to quickly lift from greys within a week.

    Superdrug radiance brunette rinse- WMBA, adds warm tones to hair.

    No 7 daytime cream - WNBA, nothing special.

    Ins:

    Superdrug pro sensitive whitening toothpaste, to add to low stock.

    Will continue to work on LHJ hair products to decrease stash.
