INs to report from the first of June!
They have NYX in my local Boots now. I went in telling myself I was only allowed to buy four things but then I only got three because the stand was ransacked!

1. NYX Badunkadunk Mascara
2. NYX Eyeshadow in Over the Taupe
3. NYX Eyeshadow in Bedroom Eyes
4. Benefit Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil - free with Elle Magazine
5. Collection Clear Mascara. I use this as brow gel. My current one is getting too disgusting to keep going much longer.

I had a bit of a clear out of make up last weekend, everything except palettes so I'm going to look really seriously at my palettes over the coming weekend. I think if I like less than a third of a palette, I'm getting rid/giving away. The drawer they're in stresses me out. I haven't changed my weekly palette for at least six weeks because I don't want to delve in that drawer. I've been using my singles much more because they're so much easier to get to and I tend to think through the purchase more with singles than I do palettes.
I think all those decluttering/make up purge videos on Youtube are going to my head!

2 UU to report:

TBS satsuma body butter 50ml- WBA one of my favourite scents and the consistency was perfect, sank in quickly. Replaced it with a boots extracts coconut one.

Superdrug deep action pore cleansing pads- WBA I usually use these every morning when I get home from work. They make my skin feel cleaner and refreshed. Not sure how much of a difference they have made though as my skin seems to be forever hormonal and they haven't stopped spots etc however did get rid of blackheads temporarily. They feel nice and exfoliating and I enjoy using them. My skin also didn't react to them which was really good (i reacted to some in the past but can't remember the brand I had a horrible rash). Will be picking some more up next time I'm in Superdrug.

I have 3 INS:
Dove Go Fresh Cucumber and Green Tea Body Lotion 400ml - Bought in Home Bargains for £1.99 which I thought was a good price. I know I have tonnes of moisturisers but at least this is a fave brand at a bargain price.
Aussie Dry Shampoo - I tried it out on my hair today and it went well. This replaces one I had already used up so won't count it as an addition to my stash. I got this in Home Bargains for £1.49.
Superdrug face mask sachet - This was a face mask reduced to 10p so I thought I may as well get one. It was the only one left on the shelf so everyone else must have spotted it too.

UU
Argan Oil Spa Body Oil 250ml - This was £3 in TkMaxx and lasted over 5 months of almost daily use (probably helped by it being a spray bottle). It was value for money and I was happy with the product although there have been oils I prefer. The packaging was also good as the pump never broke. I've dispensed the olive oil I use for shaving into this bottle due to the packaging. WMBA. I've replaced this with a Dove body oil.

I'm feeling that I have a good chance of getting through my PP list this month as many products have only a little amount left. The almost finished body lotions I have are in slightly awkward packaging so I can't wait to use them up.

Can anyone recommend me an eye cream? I'm currently using the Body Shop vitamin e, and while it's ok I'm not that fussed. I'm 25, don't have wrinkles *yet* although am not opposed to preventing them! I do get puffy bags and a bit of darkness. I don't sleep all that well so maybe something brightening and tightening? Want something for nightime that's not too rich, but feel like it is actually doing something? Sorry I know that's vague....what do other people enjoy using?

I haven't used many eye creams but my favourite so far is the Balance Active Formula Snake Venom Eye Cream. It's in a small black tube but lasts a while and can be purchased from Savers. It's not too thick but does the job and noticeably reduced puffiness in my eyes without making my eyes sting.

I've read good reviews for the Origins Ginseng Eye Cream - it has a bit of a cult following among beauty bloggers. I haven't tried it myself as it's out of my budget.

Welcome to the thread x

Good morning. The Tarte TSV has been released early and I've ordered it. I was going to buy a foundation any way for £34.50 however for £39.98 I have got the Showstopper palette, double ended mascara and primer, eyeliner, lipstick and brush. I'd have been paying the p&p either way so decided it was really good value. Not that I needed anymore if the other products but am a sucker for GWP which this effectively is. I also ordered it on AD.

Thank you! I will check that out.

I've used Origins creams before (vitamin c one) and not sure if it was just that particular one but it made my face really sensitive. And yet ordinarily I don't have sensitivity issues. I've heard the mega mushroom eyecream is good but I'm scared to touch origins now unless it's their clay mask or their drink up mask. As you say it's expensive too.

UU 2 Bourjois nail polish remover pot (pink one) WBA and have another one already open as I'd opened it by accident

I painted my nails last night with the maybelline super stay gel polish in rose poudre. A nice neutral rosy-taupe colour, and I know it will last a while as these polishes generally do (when I apply them properly and don't skimp on drying time!)

Have bobbed out at lunch today and picked up 2 x packs of cotton wool pads from Wilkos.

Hi all. Just back from a few days away.

I have an in

Bobbi Brown Pale Pink Powder Blush - I love this as an everyday work blush, I do have a mini one on the go so won't open just yet. I got it from Debenhams with 10% off and used £5 worth of points.
