    20. Soap and Glory Hand Food - I followed another forumite's example and used this as body lotion. Am always wary that this can go off quite quickly once opened and I've had it on my desk at work already for eons. Would use if it came part of a gift set but would not purchase singularly.Sold an item on QVSELL so Out:-

    Tart Exposed lip crayon. Don't need any more lip products and am not impressed by Tarte lip crayons anyway.

    Another eye shadow has hit pan this morning UD Lost, that's 3 in the last week. Hoping to have an eye shadow UU in a month or so. Maybe the eye shadow stash will actually run out one day?

    A UU this morning of 100ml Cutex Sensitive polish remover 2/1

    9 bottles of now unloved nail polish ready for the CS later. I am going through the old stuff in my stash and in the spirit of Marie Kondo if any do not bring me joy for any reason they are leaving:D (NP and manicure stuff not included in challenge, except remover, as I had a habit of picking up another bottle in store in case it was needed:o

    Nails have been either OPI Nail Envy in Nude or Pink for a few days, having a couple days of intensive treatment as they have been so poorly:(

    Have googled that colour and it's very similar to one in my Smashbox Full Exposure pallette. Speaking of which the pannage in the first to hit pan has expanded today. Really want to try and empty this before the end of the Spring challenge.

    Also, have decided to replace the Benefit No Pressure cream eyeshadow that I had to too with my Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Rose Gold.

    I really like the pink coloured Nail Envy but not the nude. For me the consistency of the nude is very runny though I don't mind using it as base coat.

    Philosophy shower gels are my favourite luxurious ones. I also like The Rituals though I have only tried the green one so far.

    I have an IN but a planned IN and necessary (well to me it is).

    A bottle of Boots own brand nail polish remover. I can't bear the thought of running out of this before repurchasing.
