    UU

    • Soltan Once Face Advanced 8 hour Protection- SPF50: another one from last year, the dregs, all used up on arms, as the SPF is likely degraded by now.

    IN
    • Naturally Thinking- Jojoba Carrier Oil, Coldpressed- 250ml
    • Naturally Thinking - Sea Buckthorn Carrier Oil- 100ml
    Ordered some essential oils for cleaning, and added these facial oils to my cart- if I waited to buy them I'd have to pay shipping on them, so made more sense to get it all now in one purchase.  Wanted to try the sea buckthorn for anti-aging but apparently it is VERY orange, so you have to dilute it, hence the jojoba oil.  Will make up a facial oil for post-moisturiser, but will also probs mix up my own first cleanse oil too once my other oils/balms in stash run out.  If it works, it will be more economical than the cleansing oils I've currently been purchasing.

    UU

    • Ample:N - Peptide Shot Ampoule:  Like this one, it's nice and plumping. It's also a HUGE 100ml. Think it might make my skin a little red/irritated though, so probably won't repurchase.
    • Sanex Zero Shower Gel (dry skin):  Had another in my stash.
    • 5ml Sample- Mont Blanc Explorer Eau de Parfum:  definitely meant for a man, used round the house.

    Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Shower Gel 500ml - this has been a favourite for many, many years.  This is the last of a large stash of the shower gel, I just have one bottle of body lotion left now.

    Updated PP List and more UUs:-

    Loccitane Verbena hand cream (carried over)
    Skinsense Eye Concentrate (carried over)
    Perfance face mask (carried over)
    Bath & Body Works Pink Chiffon Body cream
     Orly base coat
    Seche Vite top coat


    UU Skinsense Retinol serum.  I like the way this makes my skin feel but not a fan of the scent which is a bit kind of sweaty smelling.  I do have others in my stash and will use them up.  WNBA.  Prefer their facial oil. 

    I've also had to throw away the lip balm.  I left it on my window ledge and I think it's gone off in the heat.  Tasted like crayon. 

    Not sure if I will finish anything else as I am travelling soon and only plan on packing teh Skinsense Eye Concentrate. 






    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!
