    Small UU - Lacura Facial Wipes (the pink mature skin variety packet). Normally I would have replaced these, but what with the pink ones not being in stock, combined with having need to use up toner and want to start using baby milk, plus cotton wool pads, then my new water - only cleansing cloth and the Murad facial wash I'm not using enough ... . Well! Time to use something else other than facial wipes. :)
    The Lacura wipes are great quality and value, but a few months of not using those and using/ using up all of the above will still save me some money.

    Painted my nails with Mavala - Samara, like this colour. Wish I did a better job painting them, though.

    UU - Living Proof Restore Mask Treatment for Hair (28g). This was from a beauty box and it was nice enough. I have serious dandruff/dry hair problem though and I am not sure why. I never had this before, even when I had my hair coloured every month. So this mask, although nice, is not addressing the problem. Also not very easily accessible. I probably WNBA.

    Couple of UUs to start me off for the month.

    Lush Father Christmas Bath bomb - WMBA but only when 50% off makes for an expensive bath time treat otherwise.

    Superdrug sleepy time bath WNBA - daughter prefers to pick bright coloured bubbles and the bath itself helps to tire her out, splashing is hard work don't you know!

    VALM - yay to hitting pan on a blush. I am still using my Dandelion and it never looks any different, quite incredible really as I do like a good amount of blush.

    I'm working my way through a dandelion at the moment too! Takes ages I've been at pan for a while but lots around edges still. Have any of you seen the new dandelion highlighter (at least I assume it is)?

    That nail colour looks very similar to the one I am wearing at the moment.

  • Thank you so much everyone for your kind words. I'm feeling a lot better although I think that is slightly down to doing some shopping at the weekend. It was naughty as have no money atm but I made sensible buys and no toiletries.

    I have some UUs
    Oil over troubled water Lush Bath melt - WMBA this was amazing in with some of my divination re-usable bubble bar and then some twilight shower gel. Had quite a minty but yet herbal smell I think.
    Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant - I finallly used this up after having it for literally years. I think maybe 10 years I kid you not. Needless to say I didn't use it daily! WBA but think it's expensive (my mum bought me it when I had awful teenage skin) leaves skin really smooth and super gentle very nice product.

    Not IRL but on You Tube. It looks gorgeous.

  • I finished a bottle of micelluar water. I have another to start.
    The handwash abbott and broome is splurttering. It is lovely smelling and non drying. I have another awaiting.
    Toothpaste finished
    I used a lidl face mask in pomegranate, it comes in two sachets. I used one this evening and my face was left very red, tight (but not in a great way) so a bit disappointed. WNBA

    I'm back in again for another month but admit I'm really struggling. A lot of pressure at work, plus issues with my child's dad and a general lack of time for everything means I'm not using products and the ones I am using I'm not updating on my stash list so it's now out of date! Ah!!!!

    Hope you're doing ok Houseplant

    One UU from last night:

    Paula's Choice Resist Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser sample WBA. This was lovely. I'm definitely going to have to think whether I want to purchase this or not.
