    Not an IN as I don't count sunscreen in my stash but I guess more of a recommendation.....

    I bought the SPF30 option of the Ultrasun TSV and I was very impressed by the sports gel (more of a liquid gel) in Rome last year as we sweated profusely and were out in the blazing sun (with as much shade as we could give ourselves via hats etc.) each day with pale skin and neither of us went even vaguely pink from the sun!

    Yes it smells strong but that soon goes and we loved not having to reapply, it isn't sticky and didn't make us sweat more.

    Hope no-one minds me posting that! :money:

    Ultrasun is indeed very good.

    Thank you for the new thread.

    My June UU/PP List

    Estee Lauder Lip conditioner
    Benefit Dandelion Blush
    Clarins Lip Oil - Tangerine

    Will not need to buy in 2019
    Hair styling products

    Eyeshadows
    Shower gel ( I go to Zero Waste shop to refill)

    5 out as I sold 2 x mascara (1 travel size), 1 lipgloss, 1 lipstick and 1 travel size face wash on Ebay. I have few more things listed but not sure if they will see this month.

    I have bought No 7 hydraluminous foundation and the concealer. I especially like the foundation - doesn't go shiny and color match is really good. Perfect for the price. I'm currently using a stronger retinol so it helps with dryness too.

    No7 is the only liquid foundation that gives me a perfect match, I can get nearish with most but they tend to look a bit yellow, it took a few attempts to get the proper match though as that device thing didn't work for me at all so I kept trying and returning stuff!

    I can now say I'm DEFINITELY cool ivory!

    One UU this morning:

    Sensodyne Repair & Protect Whitening Toothpaste 75ml WDBA and have done. This is great. It doesn't leave my mouth irritated like some toothpastes do and it keeps my sensitivity at bay. I do not a slight difference in terms of Whitening when I use this. Replaced with my back up tube of this.

    UU Elemis PCMC. Replaced with new tub received yesterday. All my INS arrived 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!

    To be fair, this morning I was thinking if it looked a bit tanned (warm ivory) but then again it looks ok under a different light. However, like you, I also don't get the yellow look at least so that's a plus.

    One cheeky IN today:

    Pixi Vitamin-C Tonic 100ml

    The Boots store near my work had this on the clearance shelf, I guess there not going to keep the little ones in the store any more. So I got this for £3 instead of £10. I've been interested in this since it came out. I'm excited to try it :)
