The Q&A toner didnt seem to do anything compared to the Pure one from M&S or the Lacura dupe for Paula's Choice that I opened yesterday.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!

UU - Boots glow tanning drops - thought these would be a good dupe of the Isle of paradise drops but were rubbish gave me no colour WNBA.
- Wella professionals Fusion mask - this was ok made my hair feel soft but I think I’ll pick up another hair mask next time.2 -

- Lily Lolo blush in Cherry Blossom: from my PP list I do think loose powder blushes are easier to finish than pressed ones, but still- well done me! Pretty peachy colour with a sheen. I have some other colours (including some eyeshadows) in my collection that I can use in it's place, so do not need to replace this at present. My second blush finished this year which is quite fun
PP list- 24 for 24: 13 gone so far!
1) Benefit Gogo Tint: bright cherry lip n cheek tint. Probs will last a hundred years!
2) Sugarpill loose eyeshadow in Absinthe: A sparkly green, of which I have many.
3) Barry M eyeshadow pot in 44: a copper shimmer
4) DERMATORY - Hypoallergenic Cica Gel Cream 50ml
5) NEOGEN - Dermalogy White Truffle Serum In Oil Drop
6) The Body Shop- Body Yogurt in Strawberry
7) MAC Black Cherry Glow Play Lipbalm: bought in 2021.... probably should use this up now!
8) Rimmel Oh My Gloss! Plump in Angel Shimmer: love this, but got it in Dec 2022 so time to get this used up. New addition to PP list.
9) BEAUTY BAY 5% Squalane + Grapeseed Oil Serum Hybrid – 6 month expiry so I need to use it up! New addition.
10) Cetraben Moisture Protect Facial Cleanser (200ml): need to start face washing more instead of just using micellar of an evening, so to stop the lazy, putting this on my list. New addition.
11) Isntree Chestnut 8% AHA Essence - Mini (20ml): didn’t realise this had such a short expiry- it expires in September! In honesty, I have a feeling this will expire before I use it, as I'm a bit scared of strong skincare products now incase they trigger a reaction, though I did use this before just fine. New addition.

UU - Andrew Fitzsimons Amethyst Blonde purple shampoo - This is a HG for me I’ll buy some more on my lunch break Monday2

UU
- Soltan Once Age Defence 8 hr SPF 50- Face: Greasy but great- apply once and you're done! Already got it's replacement the other week
- Isntree - TW-Real Bifida Ampoule [50ml]: Enjoyed this. Quite watery textured serum, didn't irritate my skin and my skin has been looking pretty good this last few months, so I'd repurchase this!
- e.l.f. Power Grip Primer: Nice sticky primer, got the replacement the other week
INs- DR. CEURACLE Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence: Was in London yday to meet family for lunch, and afterwards we made a cheeky stop off at the K Beauty shop…. I have wanted this product back for a while, so decided to pick it up whilst it was right there in front of me!
- Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner: I BOUGHT THE WRONG ONE- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Thought I had picked up the unscented version, but it’s the one with loads of fragrance- nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I don't wanna risk it on my face as there is A LOT in there, so I now have a new toner for my body :-( I am an idiot sandwich.
- Sample sachet- Hanskin Vitamin A Retinol Serum (0.1%): GWP

UU - Elemis superfood cleansing butter (travel/sample size) - I loved this but don’t think will purchase as it’s £35! a tub which is a bit spendy to me for something that washes off.
I have replaced this with the No7 melting gel cleanser.2 -
UU
- Sure Nonstop Protection 72H- Invisible Aqua 250ml
- Cetraben Cream - 475ml: The second behemoth of a moisturiser done. My skin has been behaving itself for quite a while now, so I have bought a small version of this, and plan to return to a regular moisturiser on the daily, and use the small Cetraben on any days my skin feels a bit sensitive, or say retinal nights to keep it basic.
- Sample sachet - IUNIK Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Vitalising Toner: Used this on my body as it was just a sample sachet. Quite a juicy thick toner (probably the HA in it)- it felt pretty nice. If I could get a travel size, I'd be tempted to try this on my actual face as it doesn't have fragrance that I can see, and the ingredient list isnt too long. Has HA (45%), niacinamide, seabuckthorn (5%, for a bit of brightening)
INs ( a lot.....)- Sure Invisible Aqua anti-perspirant deodorant - 250ml: replacement
- Boots Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover 200ml: current is v low, replacement
- Garnier Micellar Water Oil Infused Facial Cleanser For Waterproof Makeup 400ml: ditto
- Cetraben Cream - 50ml: replacement
- Batiste Dry Shampoo - Medium & Brunette 200ml: replacement
- 17. Gorgeous Gloss Lipgloss in 004 - Chestnut: Dark brown lip gloss. I love the two of these I have, and they are inexpensive so I did treat myself to the other two colours.
- 17. Gorgeous Gloss Lipgloss in 002 - Raspberry: actually a beautiful dusty rose colour, not bright/what I would consider a 'raspberry' lipgloss to be.
- Essie- Gel Couture Clear Top Coat: current one is getting gloopy and hard to work with- replacement.
And one pan- BB Earthy palette (16 pan) in Palm- a bronzy gold shimmer.Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400
