I'm loving the Purito fermented essence at the moment as well @Clutterbug07 and the bottle is lasting a long time so very economical too 👍 Will be interested to hear your experience with the other essences.

I have a sort of UU/TA.Brillo lipgloss in a coral pink - I've had this in the car for ages, there isn't much left but still plenty on the wand, it smells a bit funky now probably due to being in the heat over summer. I can't remember the last time I used this so I'm letting it go.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

A couple of UU's to report this morning:
Lush Blood Orange Shower Gel - WBA, loved the scent of this but it's limited edition so probably won't be gracing my bathroom any time soon. Have replaced with a mini of their Hot Toddy shower gel.
Wild Travel Deodorant - I transitioned over to Wild during 2020 and love it. Lasts for ages and scents are really nice and it does the job. Bought a set of the minis to take on holidays so was just using up the mini that I started when we went to Florida. Have replaced with the next of my full size ones.
Versed Dew Point Moisturising Gel Cream - Love this as my day time moisturiser. Have replaced with a mini skin and me sample that's a little thicker for the colder weather right now.

UU/Throw away
- The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter: it happened- the lid got stuck! And then I bashed it to try and unjam it, and managed to crumple a corner of the tin, so it will 100% never open now- well done me. I was almost finished too, so that's really annoying! At least there won't be much waste, I really was almost done.
- Sally Hansen Miracle Cure Strengthener: Soft nails today from doing some hand-washing, so put some of this on. But it was goopy, a bit yellowy and smelt kinda funky, so this is being binned- it's done!
INS
These haven't arrived yet, but as I spent the money this month I'm counting it now. I succumbed to some Black Friday bargains.- Odens Eye - Solmåne II Moonlight Feel Highlighter in Pink Star: Wanted to try a blush and highlight from Odens Eye for the longest time as they look absolutely gorgeous, and they were 40% off in the BF sale- it seemed stupid not to get it now, when I would get these at some point and end up paying full price for it later!
- Odens Eye - Solmåne II Sunlight Love Blusher in Warm Sun: Gorgeous peachy blush, can't wait for it to arrive!
- Polished for Days nail polish - Incandescent: Stunning green flakey festive polish
- ILNP Nail Polish- Salem: Black with a red green shift- looks amazing. Got one as a present for a friend too.
Right, this will be the last polishes I buy for a while that's not a strengthener or top/base coat!
