I'm afraid I'm not as organized as you lot. I can see the amount going down but I don't have lists. I just know the amount of space is being taken up. Also, I'm using more things because my shift pattern now gives me time to put on mascara and a bit of eyeshadow and blush before work, I just can't do it at 0500.
UU:
Vichy Purete Thermale 3in1 cleanser. Good but nothing super special
Strivectin-AR advanced Retinol Night Treatment. Sample 7ml tube. Honestly? It's supposed to reduce age spots, but I only noticed a change on the areas on the base of my throat not on my face.
I'm continuing to try and use a sample size before opening a full size.
I did fall off the wagon and buy something because it was pretty and there was a GWP. I know, I know, my weakness. So a Lise Watier Neiges EDP and a trio blush are coming my way next week. The GWP? Summer tote bag, canvas with 13 samples, a full size dry shampoo and $40 worth of store points. The store points are the best deal around. I can use them at a specific drugstore (think our version of Boots) or at a grocery store or an Esso station for fuel purchases.3 -
Morning all. 3 more mini UU's from the weekend:
Bayliss and Harding Bath Bubbles Mini - another from the advent calendar and was ok, nothing special and have a few more to work through.
Etude House Dr Ampules Sheet Mask - love these as they leave my skin feeling so smooth, again have a couple more of these to work through
Sensodyne Repair and Protect toothpaste: HG, have to use this one and have 2 more in the cupboard as I always buy it on offer.
Have a few more products which are so close to being finished this week so will definitely be popping back with more updates.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20174 -
UU
- By Wishtrend - Quad Active Boosting Essence [100ml]: Quite thin/light toner. It's meant to help with acne, be all anti-bac/anti-inflam, but I didn't find it particularly helped with that. I think because the propolis is actually quite minimal in this product. Beautiful amber glass bottle though, I did enjoy the aesthetics. Might buy again at some point, but right now I'm going back to my COSRX propolis toner (one is on the way to me as I type).
- The Inkey List- Salicylic Acid Cleanser: Actually been using this as a brush and sponge cleaner. I already have a BHA toner that I use, so I'm not sure why I bought this initially- don't want to exfoliate my whole face off, so have never really used it as an actual facewash. WNBA

I pulled the sifter out last night, depotted into a bigger pot and managed to get all the product finished in the application I used today. I love this colour. In fact this is a second pot that I've got through. It is not however a current colour so I won't repurchase. Am sure I have dupes in my stash somewhere.Elf concealer. HG. I have another in stash. Couldn't remove the stopper on this one. In any event I was getting very little product on the applicator.To update my Finish 23 in 2023, I have finished 4 items so far.Have a feeling that the shampool conditioner, hand cream and eye cream will not be finished this month. Have a chance with all other 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!

Oh, and my Boots order arrived already! The lipstick looks lovely (though I've only swatched it on my hand). They put 3 x perfume samples in the box too.

Wondercollie - the hand cream is a floral scent I would say, very nice and they have lots of shea in so are moisturising and not too expensive.

Few more UU to report:
TBS Mango Body Yogurt: can't decide if I like this or not. Liked how it made my skin feel but it was a pain to get out of the pot and is expensive for what it is.
Bayliss and Harding Mini Body Lotion: another one from the advent calendar. Was ok
Corsodyl Daily Defence Mouthwash: Another thing that I have to use.

UUs
Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid - WBA.
Acuve contact lens solution, already bought a replacement.
Omorovizca Ultramoor Mud Mask (travel size) - nice mask but I wouldn't pay for the full size price. This one was from a Caroline Hirons box I think.
I have decluttered my make-up quite a bit and am committed to use more of the products I have. I go to office twice a week now so it will help.ally.3
