    Updated PP list :-

    Boots Florence Anne Blackcurrant and Fig handcream
    Jack Wills Hooe Cove Bidy scrub
    Jack Wills Hope Cove body lotion
    [STRIKE] Mandara Spa body butter [/STRIKE]

    Elemis Pro Radiance Illuminating eye cream
    [STRIKE]Polskar (?) moisturiser [/STRIKE]
    Elemis Lime Blossom cleanser
    Soap and Glory Peaches and Clean cleanser
    Maybelline Dream BB Cream

    Since posting earlier I have another UU and have updated my PP list with the removal of the moisturiser.

    UU: Bare Minerals Bare Skin foundation. WDNBA. Don't like the serum texture. Doesn't last on me. I suspect my skin is too oily for this.
    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!

    Just a quick update from me, as haven't posted for a while. Eye shadows are definitely going down. The 50/50 one I'm using as highlighter should be gone by the end of the month (fingers crossed), as its just round the edges now.


    Currently trying the NYX setting spray as a cheaper alternative to the Urban Decay one (as I seem to go through it so quickly), but not sure about it yet.


    Feel like I'm finally making progress on the makeup mountain, except for Mascara (I think they might be breeding). I actually bought one a few months ago as I only had the open that was open and now suddenly I seem to have 6, may have to start giving them away again. Think that was the 1st one I bought in about 3 years as well.

    Sorry need to ask a daft question.


    Does anyone else have any issues with OPI Top Coat. It works fine, then get down to last 3rd of the bottle and it seems to go cloudy and gloopy. Is it just me or do other have the same issue?
  • One UU Liz Earle shampoo which I won't be replacing as I found it made my hair greasy and dull. It's the only thing in her range that I'm not keen on.

    A few INs one bag of Himalayan salt, one bag of Epsom salts and a spare deodorant as it was all on offer.

    My hand cream is still spluttering away as is my jar of coconut oil hopefully it should all be gone by the end of July.

    It's been abit hectic recently but finally seems to be slowing down, I am on a bit of a get fit campaign, who would have thought exercise would actually make me feel better. I have less than 2 weeks at work before the 6 week holiday, I do still have plenty of work to do over summer but atleast I can do most at home.

  • ChicaBonita I am not particularly enjoying the Colourist Mascara so far - it makes my long sparse lashes look like spiders. I prefer a shorter full look. No dyeing effects so far!

    Deleted_User I will look up ItsKeerstin, sounds fun! I find Tati rather intimidating.

    Dolly84 Yes it's the coral blush palette. I'm finding the blush a bit disappointing actually, not much staying power, must try it with a decent primer.

    My UU's are also like buses - I am in a pretty rural area where the bus comes once a week, on a Wednesday. Managed 6 UU's for June and hoping for 9 for July.

    Nice work! I've also started exercising more lately, I have never taken so many showers in my life so it's good for the stash as well as good for the soul!

    I had that happen and was only half way through the bottle. I wasn't happy!

    .

    Ah. I don't have particularly long lashes but I prefer a shorter more voluminous look too. Maybe it's not for me :( I'd be interested to see if it does dye your lashes, but tbh lashes fall out so quickly and regularly not sure how beneficial it would be? Thanks for updating though!
