    Agree with Dolly, Gemzie! For an easy apply the Maybelline Babylips balm is great. For a long lasting lip stain Lipstains is brilliant. This brand is really hard to find in shops now - some independent chemists may have it - Am@zon link

    I'm late to this. It's been a busy month! I've had two UU so far in March:

    UU
    Baylis & Harding Beauticology Vanilla Frosting Body Butter 50ml
    - This was okay but I've used better body butters. Got this for Christmas but WNB.
    Natura Age Radiance Facial Wipes (25 pack) - I've always found these effective and good value. I've decided to use cleansers instead now in order to get things used up so I haven't replaced these.
    I've added Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo 50ml to February total (forgot to add it at the time!). It was a good dry shampoo and WDBA.

    My PP List (Total - 15; updated 25/03/17)

    Face
    The Body Shop Skin Clearing Tea Tree Toner 60ml
    Loreal Micellar Gel Sensitive Eye Make-up Remover 125ml
    T-Zone 6 Clear Out Face Pore Strips (1 left)
    Lidl Cien Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream 100ml
    Super Facialist Retinol+ Anti-Aging Night Cream 50ml
    C. O. Bigelow Apothecaries Lip Balm 3ml
    So? Sinful Lip Balm 10ml

    Hair
    Hask Macadamia Oil Hot Oil Treatment 29.57ml
    Aussie Miracle Recharge Colour Lightweight Conditioning Spray 250ml

    Body

    10 Boots Extracts Marshmallow and Peppermint body scrub 75mlb WDNBA. Got these in the Boots Jan sales and am not a fan. Consistency is too runny. Think I have 2 more tubes left.

    11 Percy & Reed Wonder Balm This came in my Feel Unique advent calendar. Will have to see if there is a difference next time I style my hair as to what my verdict is.

    Have earmarked 10 products that are spluttering:-

    LUSH Prince
    Elemis PCMC
    Elemis PC Oxygenating night cream
    Boots Royal Jelly body cream

    All these tubs have hit pan

    200ml tube Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish
    200ml bottle of Australian Body Care tea tree lotion

    Both cut open

    Toni and Guy mousse
    L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap
    Laura Geller Glamlsh mascara
    Kat Von D Tattoo eyeliner

    Mousse is spluttering in the real sense, there's a thin layer of liquid soap in bottle, mascara is drying up and eyeliner is starting to go on patchily.
    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!

    I have a uu

    Charles Worthington Moisture Seal Mineral Hair Mask - this was very nice thanks to all the silicone in it I suppose, it seems like it has been discontinued but can be picked up online cheaply but I have loads of hair masks to get through first.

    UU today 30ml Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum 4/23

    IN today
    30ml Alpha-H spf50 Daily Protection Plus 1/19
    100ml as above 2/10

    I also bought cotton wool balls, but no longer stash cotton pads or balls so not counting them anymore, I have also graduated in AP/Deo, I will finish 1 soon and have just 1 in stock, will need to buy 1 for my weekend/holiday bag soon, cannot rely on my memory to take the one from home these days:eek:

    I looked through the hand cream stash today hoping to find a handbag size one with spf, nothing available locally so will have a trawl through the jolly old Ebay, or last resort will be to decant some into a small pot. I still have enough hand cream/lotion to last at least until the end of this year though:o

    maddiemay Vichy have a nice SPF hand cream, but it costs £7.50 in Boots.

    I have five INs to declare:
    Lush Your Mother Should Know
    Lush Yummy Mummy
    Lush Ups-A-Daisy
    Lush Sunrise soap
    Lush Plum Rain sample


    I didn't need a Lush order but it was made the other day when I was feeling down in the dumps and upset about my job and my social life. I'm going to the shopping centre with the nearest Lush shop to me, so I'm going to see if there's any from the Easter range I want. I doubt it, it all seems a bit lacklustre this year :(
  • i have been super busy this week and my make up routine has been minimal. I splodged on the remainder on the primark beauty blender at one point as i took a call pulled in on the side of the road.... multitasking.

    i found my mascara, it had rolled out of my bag and on to the floor of the car. I have applied too much lipstick and finishing my brows in a car park this week. I have miles to go as regards the make up, I have to find a routine that is fast and effective but allows me to get it done really well.

    I bought and lost a heat protection spray, so I had to buy another one in lidl. I am going to give it a try.
