- Sample: Beauty of Joseon Calming Serum- Green Tea and Panthenol (vit B5): yeah, nice, I'd give it a try with a full size, felt nice and soothing on the face. Have at least 6 other serums to go through first though!
- Sample: Chloe- Nomade- perfume: ok, wouldn't buy, but ok scent.
- White Glo- Tea & Coffee drinkers toothpaste: WNDA- stodgy texture, and don't think it particularly whitened
Got some other bits n pieces that are soooooooooooo close to being finished, but when I go to use them, just a bit more comes out! hahaha got to get the moneys worth so I will obvs use till absolutely nothing left, but c'mon!!!!!!!!!Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400

Hi all,
Hope everyone is keeping well. Haven't been in for a while as I caught a mild case of the c-virus, but I've made a decent dent.
UU:
Avon incandessence EDP - WNBA, no lasting power
Atelier La vie est belle dupe - WNBA, Ok at sale price.
Cerave moisturising body wash - WNBA, ok but a bit expensive for a basic product.
Afrodita hair oil - WNBA, mainly mineral oil. Have switched to using avocado oil instead.
Boots hair and vitamin vitamins - WNBA, expensive compared to multivitamins and didn't notice a difference
Savers hand gel - WMBA, but loads in stash
Beauty UK nail polish - WNBA, chips easily
GA:
3 x herbal essence shampoos as I want to start hair botox treatments that require sulfate-free shampoos for maintenance.
Ins:
Giovanni moisturising shampoo
Giovanni light weight leave in conditiomer
Noughty clarifying shampoo
4 x Victoria Secrets body fragrances on sale
1 natural soap received as gift
PPs for 2022:
Use up surplus make-up and glycolic acid products as much as possible

UU - The Beauty Pie SPF 25. HG. Only SPF that doesn't break me out.
I also sold 2 eye pencils on Vintedally.2 -
2 more UUs:
Superdrug hair therapy pre-shampoo elasticiser - HG
Well woman energy tablets - WBA, needed.
Recycled 4 perfume bottles at the Perfume shop but wasn't excited by anything to use the 10% discount on. Will continue to shop perfume stash.3 -
UU* Tigi Bedhead Colour Goddess Shampoo- WBA- smells divine, like caramel burnt sugar. Having a break from getting my hair done (October last time and colour has gently faded really nicely) so I dont need colour-protecting shamp/conditioner right now, so I'll start on the others in my stash.* Sanex Zero Shower Gel (dry skin)- WBA, in fact I had one ready to go. Is no fragrance, super gentle, good for if ur skin can be sensitive. I mostly use this, then a nice smelly one as a treat once a week 🤣* Purito Centella Unscented Recovery Cream- WDBA, in fact have one ready to go. Great for sensitive skin, I like to use it on nights I use AHAs/BHAs as I know it wont bother my skin and will be soothing. Or good to use when you are trying something new and so need to keep the rest of your routine as simple as poss. Also has 2% niacinamide so good for brightening, pores, sebum control etcThrow Away* Rimmel Scandaleyes Precision Micro Eyeliner- Pretty rubbish, wouldnt buy again. Too watery, not black in one sweep- better off with an eye pencil.Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400

I also sold 2 eye pencils on VintedThanks for this asajj. I will try these at some time howeve it was cheaper to order some from Etsy as they were on sale and the p&p was cheaper.UU : Tesco acetone nail polish remover. Replacement purchased.I think I'm going to throw away the lacquer I'm wearing today which is OPI Thank Glogg it's Friday. Didn't apply well. Think it's probably just gotten old.

VALM - I painted my nails for the first time in 2 years last week and when I tried to remove it yesterday with Superdrug remover it just went straight over the top and didn't budge even a bit of it, it was only 2 coats of Essie in a really pale colour, no glitter, no base or top coat. I tried DD's Cutex and that was the same.uuKorres Jasmine Shower Gel 200mlDebt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

UU
- Sure Invisible aqua deodorant spray- WBA. Had a spare ready to go- can't run out of deodorant!!
- Maybelline Fit Me Matt & Poreless translucent powder- WBA. Had a spare ready to go. Nice powder compact, has a mirror and ok sponge, and keeps me matte and sets my makeup fairly well. Not all day, but no powder can actually do that.
- Benefit Cha Cha lip & cheek tint: HG- I LOVE this peachy tint and have been living off fumes for weeks, as I didn't want it to end!! I have two other tints (red/pink based though) that I don't love and should use before I repurchase, so I was really scraping the barrel with this one for weeks getting every last bit. I can't actually live without this very long, so I might plan to repurchase in March- gives me time to use up the other ones a bit and is also restrained and not jumping to immediately replace. This sounds like progress to me.
