    1 UU, Thatchers witchhazel with cucumber. WPBA, have repurchased several times before, it's nice and refreshing. Will probably wait and see if I see a difference not using it first though.
    No more goo hoarding!

    I feel even talking about make up seems so irrelevant after all that happened yesterday in Manchester. It was awful and shocking to see. I hope that all your family and friends' families are unaffected.

    Thank you for this. I live in South Manchester and this selfish act has left a whole community feeling bereft. The daughter of my work mate has lost a friend in the attack. Words fail me. Not wanting to get political on here as it's not the place but really think that drastic action now has to be taken against these sick people.

    Kicking the soap box away now .....

    Can report taht the truly awful Body Shop Amazonian Lily perfume has gone. I have UUed and not thrown it all down the toilet. WDNBA.

    5 by Summer.

    Re; culling of nail polishes I TA a bottle of OPI Celestial is More as it had dried up completely.

    No7 eyeshadow. One of the teeny ones that come with GWP. - still going strong but there's a sizeable dent in the middle.

    Kat Von D eyeliner - still going strong! The Duracell battery of makeup!!

    Urban Decay Vice eyeliner. This will be my fail I thinka as I'm concentrating too much on the KVD one above.

    I had someone ask to buy The Balm palette the other day. Sent them my Paypal details but not paid. Am hoping it will get sold though.

    One UU tonight:

    DHC Eye Bright eye gel sample WNB. It was okay, a bit meh, so I'm not going to buy it.

    I am down to one sample sachet. I'm going to resist the urge to use FeelUnique pick and mix service. I want to get some samples and trial sizes from Paula's Choice next month or the month after that.
  • i bought my holy grail serum bielinda and two moisturizers. so nice and concentrated.
    I bought a new artis brush type and a eyebrow pomade.

    24 Nice and Easy hair colour kit - Medium Auburn Nice colour and my colurist (MRM) very happy with application. Let's see how long it will last.

    25 Boots Extracts Mango body butter You all know how I feel about this.

    Drum roll purlease .......

    26 Kat von D Tattoo liner in Trooper Noticed it applied patchily yesterday and the same this morning. When I drew on the back of my hand with it the marking easily rubbed off whereas before it has been indelible. WBA. Will probably wait until I'm in the US. Have an Urban Decay pencil and an Eyeko fat felt tip liner to use so maybe can wait until then.

    So my Finish 5 by Summer looks like this:-

    Culling of nail colours.

    No7 eyeshadow. One of the teeny ones that come with GWP.

    [STRIKE] Kat Von D eyeliner [/STRIKE]

    Urban Decay Vice eyeliner. Will try hard with this now as we have a good month left of the challenge.

    I can't ever remember owning a Barry M lip product before but I have just been offered one, I know they aren't expensive, but this is a brand that never comes in on my radar.
    It's one of those with a foam lip applicator, I find them incredibly tickly to apply, so that could be interesting. The colour is hard to make out, will wait and see what arrives.

    Last of my Aldi Lacura hydro urea foot cream is spluttering, waah. I have spun it out hoping that it would arrive on Specialbuys for those wanting sweetly pampered summer feet, but no joy. The Burts' Bees body butter really is a bit meh as foot cream, but I shall persevere with it.

    It is lovely being able to type on laptop, I am not good using the tablet, so the scores on the doors for April were:-
    UU 4/32. IN 3/26. TA 2/4. GA 5/5

    We had a lovely 3 weeks perambulating around Northumbria, some forays to Tyneside too, Scottish borders and environs of Edinburgh. Thank you to the lovely people who suggested good places to visit, so much to see and do, it was wonderful.

    I have got my May lists up to date too, there is a slim chance of finishing one more item, but more likely will be ending with 11 UU, so pretty happy with that:D

    Glad you had a great trip maddiemay. We are off up to Newcastle on Saturday to help Emma pack up her room and move back home for the Summer. Hoping to go out for lunch but that's about it.
