    L'Occitane Pamplemousse Rhubarb shower gel (50 ml)

    Flora Mare Illuminatimg eye cream
    Original Nail Envy
    [STRIKE]L'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream[/STRIKE]
    Lush Dirty shave cream
    Lush Mask of Magnaminty.

    As predicted, the handcream is finished. I like this but now much prefer the Bath and Body Works ones. I now have three handcreams: Liz Earle Lavender and Rock Rosemary (?) which is a full sized pump that I've been working on at work but have now brought home, a tub of Cuccio hand butter and Bath & Body Works Be Amazing tube. I pulled the Cuccio one out to take to work and having tried it once think it's going to be a PITA. It's very sloppy and in a tub so isn't going to be a quick on the go application. Also not keen on the fragrance. Think I will put this in the bathroom and use it as a body butter along with the Boots Extracts Mango body wash that Emma left behind. I'll then return the LE one to work and keep the B&BW in my handbag. My aim though is to only own one at a time to keep in my handbag for use at home and away.

    My Finish 7 by Summer list:-

    NARS Cruella lip crayon
    MAC eyeshadow Whenever You Call
    [STRIKE]No 7 Sugar Mauve lip lacquer[/STRIKE]
    NYX concealer
    OPI Apartment for Two
    Urban Decay Easy Blush
    L'Occitane Jasmine & Bergamot fragrance

    This remains the same although the pan has expanded in my shadow and in the concealer. I'm now using it as a shadow primer in an attempt to move through it quicker.

    Finally, an IN to report. My HG Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser has arrived. Let's see if I notice a difference in my make up at lunch today. There was a code in Marie Claire for £10.00 at elemis.com so pleased that I got this for £13.50.

    Two UUs this morning and both from my PP list:

    Bioderma Atoderm Huile de Douche 200ml WDBA. This was nice. I loved how gentle this was, and my skin wasn't dry at all after a shower. I'll definitely get another bottle for autumn/winter/spring.

    REN Neroli and Grapefruit Body Cream 50ml WBA. This was nice and moisturising. I loved the scent. I may get a full size when I buy a full size of the matching body wash. Which won't be for a while yet.

    I have a uu

    Soap & Glory Butter Yourself Moisture Lotion 500ml - what a pain this was, this is a body butter not a lotion and it is in a pump bottle, about 1/3 of the way through it stops pumping having just made a tunnel down the middle. I had to hack it open and cover it with clingfilm to use it. WNBA for that reason but the actual product is lovely.

    My PP list this month is:

    [STRIKE]Bioderma Atoderm Huile de Douche 200ml [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser 56.7g[/STRIKE]
    La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 100ml
    [STRIKE]Noreva Sensidiane Micellar Milk Cleanser 500ml [/STRIKE]
    Pixi Glow Tonic 100ml
    The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% 30ml
    [STRIKE]REN Neroli and Grapefruit Body Cream 50ml [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]The Body Shop Shea Body Scrub 50ml[/STRIKE]
    Superdrug Little Moisturising Blue Stick 4.8g
    Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Mouthwash 400ml


    My updated PP list. The Ordinary serum is nearly finished, and so is the mouthwash. I'm trying to work through the Pixi Glow Tonic, so I hope to get that finish this month as well. The only things I can see being carried over to May are the Cicaplast Baume and the Lip Balm.

    Two TAs:

    SVR Senisifine AR SPF50+ Creme 50ml
    Superdrug Avocado & Manuka Honey Conditioning Spray 150ml


    I would love this products but they're just so unsuitable for my skin and hair, and no one I know wanted to try them.

    UU: Cuccio hand butter. This was only a small tub (maybe 50ml) and I used it twice as an all over body butter. Still not fond of the consistency and fragrance but it's gone.

    I think I'm going to take inventory next week as we have past the first quarter of the year and see how things are moving. Am quite optimistic. x
