Course you can copy x

Those eyeshadow colours are lovely. According to Temptalia Duoes for Baby are UD Sin and Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Rose Gold but to me Baby looks more champagne coloured rather than pink.

I've tried Tarte foundation, lip crayon, blush, eyeshadows and lipstick. The foundation is good but can be caked if too much applied. Do prefer the No7 Lift and Luminate so won't repurchase the Tarte one when UUed. Didn't rate the lip crayon at all. Have the Blush in Exposed (You Tube made me buy it!!) and it's lovely. Also have a lipstick from a Sephora kit and it's really creamy. Also have a couple of their palettes but wouldn't rave about them.

Good luck with your challenge x

I own Sin as well, and wouldn't say its a good dupe for Baby, I would say Sin is lot "Whiter" and baby is a lot creamier when applying. Wearing it again today, becoming a good everyday lid colour.

Another eyeshadow gone from my Smashbox Full Exposure Pallette. I wish it was easier to post photos on here (even if the post was delayed whilst the mods checked them). I've attached the link to it on the Boots website. The colours I have UUed are the second and third from the left of the top row.

Not sure that I have anymore shadows that are close to hitting pan. Will be putting this palette away for a little while now though.

Four INs today - some Botanics stuff from Boots is reduced to £2.50 and on BOGOF - I got a toner, night cream, serum and radiance balm.

UU
1 x mini perfume from gift set 5-10ml approx - I used this up at work today. I'm glad it's gone as was the last mini perfume from a very old set and I wasn't a huge fan of the fragrance.

I'll hopefully have a couple of more UU by the end of the month.

My ABC TSV arrived so I have a 1L bottle of the original skinwash and 500ml of the lavender version. Have tried the lavender one tonight and it's lovely, very fresh.

Went to Boots and bought 3 x No 7 wipes on 3for2
Also bought 2 x phone chargers and a Burts Bees Pomegranate lip balm from the clearance shelf. Used some AP and was awarded triple points on some items.

Then wandered into Sally's and bought a 10 pack of OPI minis for £8.40. All nice colours, some I've owned before and only 1 that I already own.

18 Sample of Clarins Jour Multi Active Cream used this as night cream and it's gorgeous. My skin has felt really soft and supple these last few mornings. Can't justify buying just yet as have tons of moisturiser still.

19 Full size OPI Original Nail Envy used this today and don't think I'll get any more out of it. Will use mini pink one next.

And lacquer disaster ladies. Need to return the mini bottles to Sally's today as one is broken. The neck has actually snapped on it. It was the bottle of Lincoln park After Dark. Am hoping they either have another set (doubtful as I only remember seeing one on the shelf) or they will reduce the set more for me.

Used the Leighton Denny I Love Juicy on my toes last night and it's really gloopy. I also painted my fingers with it but it looked really awful. Will try topping it with thinner but if it doesn't improve will bin it.

Am wearing OPI Lunch at the Delhi on my fingers instead.

Sorry, I've not been able to get on here for ages, I'm so behind this month!

Thanks for the recommendation fixx how long do you leave the mask on your hair for?

This was a couple of weeks ago, so you might have worked it out by now Generally 1 hour - same as I leave a conditioning mask on for. I've left it on for almost an hour and half before, and it didn't just neutralise the brassiness, it also put a slight purple tint on some strands with paler highlights :rotfl: I loved it though! And that's with the TIGI shampoo - other purple/silver ones are much less potent so need more time or more frequent use I would think.

Sunny_money, I also hate cleaning travel sized bottles, last time's scent never seems to quite leave. I have wondered about putting them in the dishwasher but haven't dared try.

I've chucked quite a few different empty bottles and containers in the dishwasher and not had any issues. Plus I get through so many that if the odd one deforms I'll be able to replace it anyway

I've not been properly keeping track this month, as I've been on hols, and travelling loads with work. But only 1 in (Batiste, needed) and a few UUs. So lists have been updated.

PP list for the month:
- [STRIKE]Tigi dumb blonde Conditioner (current bottle, not new)[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Monu primer[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Philip Kingsley Elasticizer[/STRIKE]
- Clinique eye serum
- Benefit lip gloss
- Organic Surge face wash
- Crabtree & Evelyn Shower gel
- Elemis Papaya enzyme face mask
- [STRIKE]Organic Surge body cream[/STRIKE]

The others are spluttering and ontrack mostly.

I'm a bit gutted about finishing the monu primer. I have lots of other primers but I was very very impressed by this. It smoothed well onto my skin, gave a beautiful glow, lasted well, and had spf. I might buy again - after I've given Spackle a thorough trial.

NBI of a Maybelline lippy. Review isn't up yet as I added a pic to show the colour. Whenever I take a pic of lippy I can never get it perfect and this was no exception, lol. It would appear to be a new product -
Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Hot Lacquer Liquid Lipstick, Number 66, Too Cute as there are no reviews yet.

It's a very wearable peachy pink on me, nice colour for summer. Came off on a cup easily though.

Sally's would not offer further discount on the OPI Minis so I got a refund. Wasn't to be. X

Picked another category from my roulette to replace the nail envy which is Something shimmery - will pull out a No7 mini eyeshadow to use as my base.
