- Peaches & Cream- loose eyeshadow in Starlight: Beautiful sparkly white highlighty brow bone colour- I love this. Would repurchase except I have a few others I can use in this category first, but I am sad this one is done
- L'Oreal Paris Lash Paradise Mascara Black Waterproof: My HG. Dried up now, been open a good few months, so it's time to go- it's done.
- The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG: Its really old and I just do not ever use this. It is wasting space on my shelf, and I can't think how to repurpose it, so in the bin it goes.
- Elf Hydrating Camo Concealer Satin Finish- Light Ivory: Went to reach for this today, to try and use it up as it's so close to being finished-like maybe a quarter left, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. So it's time to go I think, gave it a good shot but I am done.
INS- Isntree- Onion Newpair Gel Cream: Wanted to try this for a while. Would have waited till I used up everything I had except I spotted it at SEVENTY percent off!!! SEVENTY!
- Isntree- Chestnut AHA 8% Clear Essence: I didn't want to pay for shipping..... so added a few things to my cart to make up the amount, but they are things I have wanted to try for a while. Infact after I am done with my current AHA this is what I was going to try next so it seemed sensible..... this is what I tell myself anyway!
It's 4% glycolic and 4% lactic- had a sample of it and really liked it, so can't wait to get to use this properly!
- Benton- Goodbye Redness Centella Sheet Mask: To make up costs, BUT it is also a sheet mask I had wanted to try as I heard good things about it
I probs should get over paying for shipping, but I'd always rather pay the money for a product then on P&P!Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400

I really did like this. If I see the body spray massively reduced I'll purchase but find it hard to part with £10 for it.Orly base coat. I do like this but will try to use the OPI mini bottles I have instead of repurchasing.The styling gel seems to be near it's end and I have hit pan in my day cream.i can't recall who mentioned Next Beauty Boxes but I have treated myself and Emma to one each. Mine is the glow edition and Emma's is the Mothers day box which I didn't realise when I ordered it so lets hope I've chosen the right one!
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!

- The Body Shop Hemp Hard-Working Hand Protector: nice hand cream, verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry thick. It's good for when you're watching tele or overnight ie when you don't have to do anything with your hands, as it takes a while to sink in. WBA, but have a tonne of hand cream at Christmas that need using up, so will use those first. It will probably be a hundred years before I have to buy another hand cream, as I think I have at least seven!!!

I really need to join the challenge again. I used to spend A LOT of time in the forum a few years ago with a previous account which I've forgotten the log in for, so I'm here with a new account.
My stash is nowhere near as big as it was back then but I still have far more than I need.
PP
Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Lotion in the pump bottle, just under half left
Me+ Salicylic Acid face wash, 1/3 left
Superdrug Sensitive deodorant roll on
Mitchum Powder Fresh deodorant stick, nearly finished
Soft & Gentle Magnolia & Geranium deodorant spray, nearly finished
Naturally Radiant Glycolic Acid Cleansing Pads
Naturally Radiant Glycolic Overnight Peel, maybe 2 or 3 applications left, with more in the stash
Naturally Radiant Glow Revitalising Spritz
The Solution Clear Skin body gel
Naturally Radiant Glow 2 in 1 serum
I also have quite a lot of make up, particularly eyeshadow palettes, which I need to go through still. I'll include some of that in next month's challenge.
I have an extensive nail polish collection which I won't include in the challenge as it's my hobby. I will, however, try to rein it in a bit and only buy polishes I reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy neeeeeed*not actually psychic4 -

- The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10%: Supposedly like botox in a bottle
but I will probs repurchase cos I hate those nose-to-mouth lines and this is meant to be great for movement lines. Also use it on crows feet and forehead! It is quite watery so I went through it quite quickly, but it's fairly cheap, so don't mind that tbh
- Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner: Quite like this to get my antioxidant hit. Supposed to help combat oily skin/sebum production too.
Throw away- Jolie- 'You're on Fleek' Palette: Weird pressed glitter stuff. Applies weirdly and I have never used it as it’s a bit rubbish, destashing.

Hello all, long time no post for me! How are you all?
My stash is a bit out of control once more, lockdown and all that, plus I went to Swindon outlet village last week and Bicester yesterday, so now's the time to say I have more than enough stuff, time to stop buying!
I have to say though I am very sad to learn Becca is no longer trading, I have quite a few bits from them and it's all really good!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

- Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++: Stung my face, so used this up on my body. WNBA. Very sad as this sunscreen had such rave reviews!
- Boots Biodegradable Baby Wipes: Were ok, didn't have the good clippy seal just a sticker thing, so they were rather dried out by the end. Probs wouldn’t buy again due to this.
