Makeup Forever black eyeliner pencil. Too short to sharpen again. Did the job.

Est!e Lauder Sumptuous mascara. GWP size. Started to go clumpy. And it was over 90 days old

Lancôme Cils mascara base. Have another one in the stash.

I!!!8217;m trying to work my way through the gwp mascaras. I swear they breed in the box I keep them in!

Tossed a body spray and lotion that were travel sized. Just not nice. But the shower gel is lovely. Unfortunately it was a Walmart band stocking stuffer, so I!!!8217;ll never find it again.

Do you only use your mascara for 90 days? I use mine for 6 months unless it runs out before that and have never had an eye infection in my life.

1 UU No7 Youthful Eye Serum - nice enough to use. I bought when this was on offer (3 for 2) and it made it really good value. I thought I had another tube of this but looks like I don't - I can't find it. I'm planning to purchase a new one tomorrow.

Has anyone any suggestions for eye cream? I have a couple of fine lines, combination skin and am mid-30s.

I think the fine lines are inevitable, I am using my last tube of eye cream and am not going to bother buying again, in the morning at the moment I just take my fingers over closed eyes after moisturising my face.

I have a uu

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish 100ml - WMBA, I am hoping to move to a more natural product but in the meantime when I do need to buy cleanser I am going to buy Superdrug Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser. It is cruelty free, easily available and much cheaper.

On the subject of mascara I am not that diligent either. Only get rid when it feels used up. My Covergirl one that I'm currently using is nearly gone and I plan to eek it out until the end of the month. I then have an It Cosmetics Super Hero one to use and this will be the last of my stash.

I've still not used my new eye cream enough to form an opinion.

My lipstick will be finished this month. I'm going to try and finish an older one next and have chosen MAC Brave which Emma gave me and I don't think I've even worn once. Am going to start making brutal decisions with lip products and cull some.

Only other item that will finish by Thursday is my Caudalie Serum.

I also got an email from Feefo on behalf of Feel Unique this morning and posted negative review. I got an automatic response from Feel Unique offering a £5 but have emailed them declining it as they have only done this in response to the negative feedback and not my initial complaint. Oh, and they are only now going to speak with their IT Department about the issue. Appalling. As I've said before if anyone shops with them take a screenshot of your shopping bag first.

1 UU this morning after shower. Richard Ward Keratin Volume Conditioner. Bought this at the end of the summer when it was on 3 for 2. I think it is too expensive for what it is. Very thick consistency. Gives volume but not really conditioning. Probably WNBA.

Ladies, I have INs. I realise that I am truly not cured from the GWP lure. So, I was in Boots at weekend, saw the No7 GWP and walked away. It gnawed at me. I went in the Boots local to work and couldn't find anything to buy to qualify (mainly because the stock is so appalling).

But then today I decided I was going to a better store. So, get ready for the justification:-

Firstly, I do feel that I need replacement beutyblender type sponges as my Real Techniques ones are coming apart at the flat edges so that's one item from the GWP that would come in handy. Also, the primer I'm using is making my makeup look Matte and I prefer it Glory so the Illumitor will be used. Do I need another lipstick or eyeshadow, no.

So to qualify I looked on the site for the cheapest non make up items which are the cuticle cream and the beutyblender copie so I bought these as I could do with more than one sponge and my cuticles are pretty dry. I used the money off voucher for these two products.


I got another voucher, bought a pack of No 7 wipes.

I then decided to buy another sponge which got me another voucher which I redeemed with 3 for 2 on the wipes and with the voucher earned from that got one more pack of wipes. So I'm fully stocked re wipes again.

I've also had an apology from Feel Unique saying they'll look into why they did not respond sooner.

Thanks for the new thread!

My PP list for February:
1. I love . . . Coconut & Cream Body Butter
2. Origins face mask
[STRIKE]3. Hit pan on MUA Rose Petal blusher[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]4. Next Thai Lily perfume (5ml)[/STRIKE]
5. Aussie shampoo
6. Sanctuary moisturising oil
[STRIKE]7. Simple facial cleansing oil[/STRIKE]
8. Molton Brown body lotion (hotel mini)
9. Vichy Aqualia thermale serum (HG but MUST use regularly)
10. L'occitane Roses et Reines handcream mini

This has been a very short month! Only 3 UUs to report and no more looking likely, except for 28 Feb being Mascara Change Day. I throw mine away after 6 months (by which point it's usually pretty much finished) or if I get an attack of conjunctivitis. That's fairly rare but I suspect I have re-infected myself with my mascara in the past.

One IN, Lush Happy Hippy shower gel. I used to get very dry skin on my elbows which has cleared up since I started using Lush shower gels. It came back briefly when I pinched OH's Original Source last week.

I'm looking for a cuticle cream/oil as I have very dry skin especially around my fingernails. Does anyone has any recommendations as I thought you guys here would be best to ask. I would justify it as an essential IN lol

Many thanks x
