    I did finish 3 more items:-

    Colourpop November lip lacquer. I loved this.

    Skinsense Retinol serum. I have more in stash.

    Mini Bare Minerals Complexion Defence. I tried to use this as a primer at first but my makeup absorbed into it. Been using it as a night cream.  

    So totals
    Uu 31 
    4 TA
    5 INs.

    I got to 25 non make up items in my pan over purchase challenge and 11 make up items. 










    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!
