Trying to kick my serious Lush addiction.
Even when I don`t buy anything I go in and just sniff the products.
Think I`ve got enough to last for several months.

Welcome. I've never really got Lush, I think they are doing good things packaging and animal cruelty wise but their ingredients are still high on synthetics.

A few more UU,
From my PP Nuxe creme prodigieuse moisturiser 15ml WMBA , this was nice under makeup it kind of felt like a primer.
Another from my PP Roger and gallet fig
handcream WMBA, I liked the smell of this, it was highly perfumed but not the most nourishing handcream out there. Have a soap and glory hand food to replace it.

UU a Nuxe Micellar Cleansing Water 200ml WDBA I love this stuff I have bought this for years and probabably will always buy this. Its so gentle on the eyes. The only con is the price.

Also nearly forgot 2 INs to report,

Fearne bodysprays from Poundland x2
The green and orange ones.
I definitely did not need these but wanted to buy something to cheer myself up a bit (old habits die hard)
and these were damage limitation.

Second UU for February:

Caudalie Anti-Wrinkle defense serum. WNBA. Sample size so difficult to say if it did much, quite runny.

UU

Tesco Natural Extracts Argan Oil Body Butter 50ml - This was lovely - just as good as more expensive brands. WDBA.

The Body Shop Peppermint Foot Cream sample size - Loved this too. Will buy full size once the stash reduces.

As part of my Zero Waste journey I bought a metal safety razor which arrived yesterday, I tried and tried to buy one in a shop but could only get the blades. I had a go with it yesterday and it made me realise just how rubbish the plastic type are this was so close and it was easy to use, slow and steady but this was the type I started with when I first started shaving my legs. No more horrible plastic heads in the bin - YAY.

Whilst out in a local town I spotted some hand made bars of soap, totally vegan and soap free and suitable for skin and hair, they did two types, I will be buying one of these when I need it and using it instead of bottled shower gel and shampoo.

Where did you get it from?

I sold 2 items yesterday/today so 2 outs (1 mascara and 1 lipstick). I will be adding 1 sample in each envelope therefore 2 samples are also out.

I'm planning to do some tidying and TA some haircare stuff. First one is Wella Silvikrin Hair Mousse. I actually liked this but the last time I tried to use it, no product came out very watery. I tried to shake but still the same. Perhaps it has gone off?

Laura Mercier Grey Pearl Caviar stick
Marc Jacobs mini lipstick in colour Jetaime
MAC Whenever you Call eyeshadow.
No 7 Translucent pressed powder.
OPI Mini - at the moment I am using Time for a Napa. Just pulled it out randomly.

Have hit pan in the translucent powder this morning.

Am wearing Time for a Napa at the mo but will be repainting my nails tonight with one of my new colours.

Following the receipt of my Sweet Peach palette I have "decluttered" some eyeshadows. So I have TA a Pop eyeshadow trio, a No7 grey shadow and the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick. The trio were peachy colours but too shimmery for me - I received these in a subscription box. The No7 shadow was a GWP and when I swatched it earlier it was very patchy. I'm a bit sad about the Caviar stick. Even though I've put it in this challenge I'm not reaching for it. I've used it as a base but don't have many shadows that I can wear it under. Tried it on its own today but it had worn off in 4 hours. It's going. Life is too short.

I have pulled out a Laura Geller pink eyeshadow for this week however if it does not perform well I will TA this. I have an Avon duo also that is not very pigmented but I could get away with using as a base.

I repainted my nails this week with OPI Tagus in That Selfie which is gorgeous pink and not streaky which OPI light pinks tend to be.

The lipstick is nearing the point that I'll have to use a brush to apply it.

UU Aussie shampoo. I like this so will repurchase but will get a John Frida one next.

All the other items barring the No7 wipes will be UUed this week. Both of my other cleanser ps are getting low too and will probably be gone by the end of the month.
