- Glow-C Tranexamic 5% Serum: Love this serum. Got a few when they were on good sale last year so can pull another one out of the stash. Once all my tranexamic and azelaic acid serums are done, I'm going to buy the new Mad About Skin serum (due for release before the end of Jan) which will have BOTH- I am all about wanting to streamline. If I'm working on hyperpigmentation, I just want ONE serum! There may be a good launch deal so I'll have to see, it might be purchased at end of Jan before I've gone through the others in my stash, but we shall see.
- Boots Anti-Dandruff Ketoconazole 2% w/w Shampoo
- Mad About Skin - Copper Peptide Serum: use this for hair loss/growth. Should have another one of these on the way, as I got it as a GWP when I got a few bits in their NY day sale. Hopefully it's included in my box as it's not mentioned in my order email..... we shall see!
INs- Boots Anti-Dandruff Ketoconazole 2% w/w Shampoo: replacement.

@VALM I am always in awe of how you get through so many bottles of nail polish!!! I googled that colour and it does look absolutely lush, I can see why you repurchased it! Funnily enough, I am contemplating a nice warm brown as one of my mainstream allowances for the year- had been thinking maybe OPI Material Gworl (terrible name), or maybe Endless Sunner (though that might lean more orange.... hard to tell from photos!). Not right now though, I think I could wait till Autumn to get them.Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400

15 Iconic London Triple threat mascara. This is the second Ive finished this month. Both were decluttered by Emna so must have had plenty of use when I was given them. Opened a Nanolash one yesterday. Have 4 more in stash.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
