Hello everyone!

Sorry to read and run, but I really need to get to bed.

UU: Mitchum Deodorant.

WIBA? HG product, so yes.

I hope you are all well. Things are still mental here unpacking. xxx

I have a uu

Philosophy Summer Grace Shampoo, Bubble Bath & Shower Gel 480ml - WBA but this was a limited edition so I can't, I used it for all 3 of its uses and it was really lovely.

I find it easier to stay focused on UU my items if I keep ticking them off my list like this instead of just listing them 1 by 1.

The Lee Stafford is my HG so will buy this again and again.

I am really liking the Garnier sachets, love the texture of this cream, I have a few more sachets to go so don't need to repurchase just yet.

I won't repurchase the Benetint as I only use this a lipbalm for moisture more than for colour. I'd never wear it outside the house by itself without my lipstick. Because of this it is just too expensive for a moisturiser. That said I have had this pot for about 4 years and have been actively trying to use it up morning and evening for about 5 months now. It's really very very long lasting.

The jar of foundation that I have UU is a blend of about 5 different foundations from Clarins, Estee Lauder, Laura Mercier, and Bourjois. none of them were the perfect shade or consistency for my skin but mixed together I am really happy with the coverage and shade. I have blended another half jar to get through now. I honestly don't think I will need to buy foundation for at least another 2 years if I manage to behave myself!

Hi all, just back from holidays and will catch up soon.

UU'ed 1 L'occiaten mini hand cream, Sanctuary body wash and scrub (both travel size), Organic Pharmacy and L'occitane facial moisturiser (both are mini), travel size toothpaste.

DreamyP

It took me around 9 months and I've finally used up my holy grail eye product...

1. Maybelline on and on bronze color tattoo...I have 2 more to go in 2 different shades.

DreamyP - well done on finishing a colour tattoo, those things last forever.

I have a uu

Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturiser 100ml - WBA, this has a lovely texture and does a good job for the price, I also use a thick layer as a mask sometimes too.

A little question for you, if your entire makeup stash was destroyed and you had to replace with a capsule collection what would be in your new collection? Mine would be:

1. Foundation - this is hard but I really like the L'oreal True Match so would probably go with that.
2. Concealer - Rimmel Hide the Blemish
3. Under eye concealer - Benefit Erase Paste or Garnier 2 in 1 eye roll on.
4. Powder - Any
5. Blusher - S&G Cheekmate or Benetint
6. Matte brown shadow for eyebrows
7. Eye Primer - Urban Decay Primer Potion
8. Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Birthday Suit
9. MAC Satin Taupe Eyeshadow
10. MAC Powersurge or Teddy Eyeliner
11. Dior New Look Mascara or Benefit They're Real
12. S&G Lip Crayon in Plum Jam or Ramplumzel.

I wouldn't buy any highlighters, bronzers or lip gloss at all.

OOOh I LOVE this question, and I think the answers should help us all keep focused going forward. I for one need to learn to stop buying random makeup and stick to what I love already!

Foundation - Estee Lauder double wear in bone.
Concealer - Laura Mercier secret camoflage
Powder - ELF colour correcting powder, with a quick dusting of any old bronzer on top to kill the ghostly look it creates.
Blusher - Kiko cosmetics blusher in the big wooden box...I am obsessed with this!! Beats anything I have ever bought from benefit at a fraction of the price and for a huge amount!!
Eyebrows - I don't really bother
Eye Primer - ELF primer, i find it as good as the Urban decay and much cheaper.
Face primer - Pixi Matte Primer.
Eyeliner - Lancome artliner
Mascara - this is sooo tough, torn between dior and lancome but I "think" lancome hypnose original in black.
I couldn't possibly pick a lipstick or eyeshadow though, I change my lipstick colour several times a day and eyeshadow is different every day too...:o

At the risk of tempting or enabling anyone, what do you ladies think about the beauty advent calendars coming out?

I've got the ciate one a couple of times previously, but always after xmas, in the sale. I’d maybe do the same this year, but I'm not bothered (and I don’t count nailpolishes as stash).

I've never been bothered by other ones before, but I think they only became a big/common thing when I was out of the UK.

The two in particular that interest me at the moment are the Clarins one (mostly because of the other freebies it comes with at the moment ) and the M&S one – it’s cheap, but I can’t find much info on what’s actually in it…

To be fair I don’t need either – I’d just like them :P But I could/should save the money for ski trips next year… Hmmm, maybe I've talked myself out of them then, I don’t know!
