    UU number four and five for March:

    Korres Rose Shower Gel. WBA. One of my favourites but now onto my Ren rose.

    Rossano Ferretti Splendido colour maintenance conditioner. WNBA. This was a sample but it didn't do much and it's £39 a bottle :eek:

    Happy birthday shed35!

    I have selected 4 things to TA:

    Benefit Bo-ing Concealer - kept this and promised myself to UU it but never happened. Have had it for years so decided to TA.

    Benefit They're Real Tinted Primer: Freebie from a mag, nearly 3 years old.

    Elizabeth Arden Terrarose 03 Cheekcolor: Half used and nearly 4 years old. Didn't like this as much anyway.

    Maybelline Eyeshadow Lustrous Beige. Nearly 2 years old, the colour doesn't suit me.
    ally.

    Happy Birthday shed35

    Two UUs this evening:

    Lush Polyamorous Bath Oil WBA. This was a nice scent and left my skin moisturised after my Bath.

    Art Mask Sugar Skull Sheet Mask WMBA. This was a nice fun sheet mask. It has a sugar skull pattern on the mask and has collagen in it. This was nice :)

    Can I dip a toe in the water?

    I have so many cosmetics and face products! I am seemingly in an eternal search for the perfect foundation for my pale pale skin and have an addiction to lipstick.

    This wouldn't be a problem if I used the products daily, even weekly, but aside from mascara and maybe a touch of concealer, I rarely wear makeup. So my purchases greatly outweigh my consumption.

    My PP for the month:
    • YSL Micellar Water
    • Clean & Clear Facewash (gifted to me)
    • French Connection Shower Gel
    • Benefit Posie Tint
    • Clinique Chubby Stick Highlighter

  • UU
    Superdrug dry shampoo

    TA
    Batiste 2in1 dry shampoo + conditioner - literally does not work, maybe this was 4p on clearance because it was a dud batch...

    IN
    Batiste dry shampoo

    Sainsburys own brand Source of Nature Facial Wash - worth a go for £2 - 95% natural with cruelty free bunny logo :-) (wish the bottle was recyclable though!)

    I felt mortified by and couldnt afford my eyeshadow madness purchases; 13!? I decided to keep 5 and was very grateful that I was able to return the rest, although I dont think I have enough matt ones now, so I am nervous to TA all my old eyeshadows yet..

    Loreal Eye Paint x3
    Revlon Colourstay eyeshadow
    Elf liquid eyeshadow

    Another UU tonight:

    Colgate Plax Soft Mint Mouthwash 250ml WBA. This was nice and I could see myself using it again in the future. Not as harsh as some mouthwashes.

    It was my birthday last Friday, I specifically ask to receive no cards or presents for my birthday or Mother's day, DH bought me some chocolate and my mum gave me money and that was it. There is enough clutter and rubbish in my life without adding more.

    I have a uu

    Chloe EDP 50ml - very nice and I love the vintage style bottle but it is expensive so WNBA.
