1 IN – Scinic All in One Honey Ampoule. This is going to last foreeeeeeeever! The jar is massive and you need the smallest amount! I've also ordered from Deceim, The Ordinary Retinol 2%, so will declare that when it arrives. Looking forward to it.

One little UU to start the month off:D

50ml Simple Night Cream 1/9 (this has been hanging about for years and I finally finished it up as a foot cream, off now to find another aged jar of something or another for foot cream:o

I think I am going to order the TSV from *VC of 4 NIOD products, I will need two of the items soon as on PP list and am sure I can use the other two. The two in use will cost £76 to replace from NIOD, but the whole package deal will be £55 including Q's extortionate postage charge, I had hoped not to spend much in February, but no brainer really.:)

4 Urban Decay Perversion Mascara This was a deluxe size that I got as GWP. Very nice though the brush was pretty big. This did finish yesterday and this morning I have pulled out my Laura Geller Glamlash mascara. Has a very nice neat little brush. Will have to see how the product fares during the course of the day.

5 Liz Earle no 20 perfume sample This is lovely however I have a similar floral fragrance from The Body Shop. May treat myself to the Liz Earle one when I have finished a couple more fragrances.

6 Urban Decay Eyeliner in Supply Was using this today. Went to sharpen it and the wood split so that it just jammed in my sharpener. Technically a TA because of this. I wasn't overly impressed by the colour anyway. Have decided I will only buy felt tip type liners once all these pencils are gone and probably only in black as I don't use other colours.

Last night I was thinking about when I last bought a facial moisturiser/serum and it was August 2015 when I bought the very expensive Clinique serum (have forgotten the name) in the silver bottle that evens skin tone. I use moisturiser every day and I still have loads left:eek:. Since that purchase I have received 3 5ml samples and have used those but other than that it has all come from the stash.

Those naughty people at Boots have sent me a card allocaitng me double AP during my birthday month of February. I went into Boots today and bought some facial wipes - 1 pack for me and 1 pack for Emma. I'm away in Newcastle this weekend and am pretty lazy when away from home with the skincare so will use wipes. MRM has collected my Elemis cleanser from the Post Office this afternoon but I can't be bothered lugging two big bottles of cleanser with me!

Chat to you all soon. xx

Hope you enjoy yourself in Newcastle, Val. The weather forecast is a bit mixed, it's been cold and windy today.
Had a couple of bottles of Elvive anti-dandruff shampoo arrive as NBIs - my scalp sometimes gets slightly itchy.
I made this observation on our reviewer's forum of the Elvive shampoo said to be for 'greasy' hair:

"It's unusual to see the word 'greasy' used to describe hair these days, I think, hair at the opposite end of the spectrum to dry has been 'oily' for years.
Describing it as 'greasy' takes me back to being a Seventies teenager, when lemon shampoo was your only choice if hormones dictated you looked like you'd dipped your head in the chip pan by the time hair-wash night came round."

Yup.
I can remember when Alberto Balsam Green Apple came out, it was so exciting to have a shampoo (other than Vosene) that wasn't lemon.

Hi all, hope all well. I have some INs and OUTs.

Firstly INs . Maybellin Countouring Stick in Medium. I want to give contouring a go but usually palettes are pricey, this was a cheap option with good reviews.

Maybelline Superstay Nail Polish in Porcelain. My nail polish stocks are depleted and I'm still considering whether I want to get a gel nail kit, this will do until then.

UU:

Garnier Moisture Bomb Night Cream. Very light and pleasant texture. Perhaps better suited for summer. I might buy again in the future.


Garnier Moisture Bomb Sheet Mask. I'm undecided about sheet masks. Not sure if they are really beneficial and I don't like the application. I have another one but I probably won't buy again.

2 lip pencils wet n wild and mascara from wet n wild in. I used a really old wet n wild lip pencil this morning and was so impressed with the quality that I grabbed more today in a pink and red shade.

I bought a new pair of sketchers for work. It is so hard to find a leather pair that look well with dresses as I can't wear trainers. I had to order in a pair, it would have been easier to find a unicorn. I hope that they are really comfortable as I am tired of sore feet.

My Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser has arrived. Have ne application left from last bottle so will use that today and start this new one on Monday.

Was more excited to pick up my replacement Fitbit yesterday. The plastic part that houses the charger slot snapped off my old one. Fitbit Customer Services have been amazing though and sorted me out with a complete replacement within a matter of a few days.
