Thanks for the new thread sstevo. My PPlist for this month is:-

LUSH Prince
LUSH Lemony Flutter
OPI Nail Envy full size
OPI Pink nail envy mini
Yorkshire Soap Company soap
Rituals foaming shower gel
Tony & Guy mousse
Percy and Reed Wonder Balm
[STRIKE]Fresh Sugar Rose lip balm[/STRIKE]
Nuxe facial oil

I have other items that will be UUed soon too:-
Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish
ASDA cotton wool pads
Kind Natured shampoo
[STRIKE]Garnier Mcellar wipes [/STRIKE]
L'Occitane Shea hand cream
Soap and Glory Righteous Butter

I am also going to make a conscious effort to burn more candles this month. Have been burning some in the last couple of days that I've been home and today UUed a large Yankee Candle called Sparkling Snow. Lovely fragrance that I would repurchase.

Update to my two lists. The Sugar Rose lip balm has just disintegrated on me. I got this in a Sephora kit when in the US in September 2015. It melted loads whilst I was there and it seems it has melted loads again. Not good. I beleive these are expensive to purchase singularly. WNBA although I may get another one of the lip kits so if it is in there I will have to open it and use it here when the weather is really cold.

3. Fresh Sugar Rose lip balm.

Short PP list:

Manuka Honey mask for use as foot cream
Aldi Lacura Argan Oil hand cream
Aldi Lacura Soy serum for mature skin
L'Oreal Toner for mature skin.

My ongoing quest to use up a lip balm continues. I use one for about a week or so and then get bored and have to use something else.
At the moment it's a Burt's Bees Coconut and Pear Lip Balm Stick / Primarni Coca Cola Stick for the day and a Carmex Cherry lip balm pot for first thing in the morning / last thing at night.

Close run thing as to which is my favourite, between the Carmex Cherry and the Burt's Bees Coconut and Pear.

I have the Burt's Bees Coconut & Pear too, I really love their lip balms.

Good news about the mattress, I hope it's a good one.

From what I see on Youtube the Fresh lip products are pricey and no one really seems to rave about them.

I repainted my nails last night with Liz Earle Awakening, it is a peach colour and very spring like. It was one of the ones that are having their last chance, I love the Liz Earle formula but am still not sure about this colour on me.

Have googled this colour. It is very similar to an OPI one that I used to own (I think it was called Your Villa or Mine). I got rid of it. I can't wear peach colour due to my skin tone.

VALM - I think we must be very similar! I love the Righteous butter, its a full size tub so will take a bit of finishing but popped it on my PP list to help encourage me to use it every day! As for the Wonder Balm - I really don't like it, does nowt for my hair and I think my hair tangles a lot easier when using it - but not sure I can bring myself to TA.

I don't have any issues with the wonder balm causing tangling but I don't understand why I need a pre-product product!! Maybe I will see a dramatic difference when I stop using it! Will keep you posted.


I'm wishing I had a big tub of Righteous Butter as mine is almost gone. I did buy 2 of the gift sets containing it but can't remember if I gave the other to Emma or not.

I saw a You Tube video this morning where the YouTuber was complaining about it melting!


I've found a new YouTuber to watch - can't remember her name but she starts a new Project Pan every day nearly! Lord knows how she will keep up with them all especially as every time she films she reminds everybody that she has three children!


I don't know about anyone else but it feels to me like the whole YouTube Beauty Guru thing has come to an end with a lot of YouTubers now reluctantly turning to panning.

i noticed that there was a sell off at a cheap price of some nyx make up. I caved in and bought 2 nyx concealer
1 nyx wow pencil
1 nyx eyebrow pencil
2 dove deodorants

Then when getting a pint of milk i bought some a lidl face mask. I didn't fall of the wagon i totally dived into the deep end of spending. Did i really need the nyx stuff? well no but i know that i will not get it again at the same price.
So I am on the naughty step and bought some really nice new pieces of clothes. I feel that i have blown the budget on the second day of the month.

On the up side i recommenced using the bb cream from superdrug and it seemed to give a really natural glowing makeup. I might be naughty by at least ny make up looked really good.

Two UUs this evening:

Lush Vanilla Fountain bath bomb WPNBA. This was nice, but a bit meh.

Nuxe Creme Fraiche de Beaute moisturiser sample WNB. Too fragrant and my skin didn't like it.

And two INs:

La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere moisturiser
La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere sample The sample size came with my full size one today.

I bought the Fresh sugar lip polish and it's pretty rubbish. Tastes nice though

Evening all

Thanks for starting this months's Sstevo19, I'm in again this month.

Some good progress going on already. Naughty GMAT did not return at all last month and hasn't updated any of my threads so back again and hoping to do better.

Whilst I didn't join in last month I did continue to use up items and managed to get a few out.

Feb UU
1) Boots double faced oval pads x 50 - WBA as these as a good size but currently trying to find cheaper brands.
2) Elemis jasmine and rose hand & nail cream 20ml - WMB liked the scent and not too greasy, made my hands quite soft but have other to use before purchasing.
3) Boots zingy ginger &orange shower gel 250ml - WNBA not keen on the scent and seem to have to use lots compared to Molten Brown.
4) Boss Ma Vie 0.07ml - WMBA liked the scent but have other perfumes to use.
5) Decleor phytopeel 15ml - WNBA as find this too much work but it does leave my skin soft. Have a 50ml tube in the stash.
6)Elemis pro collagen oxygenating night cream 2ml - WNBA as do not like the scent but it did do a good job for my skin. Have a 30ml tub in the stash
7) Imperial leather soap - WNBA not keen on soap as too drying.

GA
1) Elemis pro collagen marine cream 30ml - currently have one on the go but not keen on scent. Friend seemed very happy with her gift.

Will update another post with my March PP.
