One UU this morning:

GUM ActiVital Toothpaste 12ml WNBA. This was vile. What a horrible taste. Blegh. Glad it's gone.

Welcome Robi90.

VALM - your stash seems to be under control to me. Mine will be as soon as I get to a reasonable amount of shower gel, body lotion and conditioner, these are the only problem areas aside from makeup and I have stopped concerning myself about that, I don't really buy it anymore and I will just plough on with what I have.

Thanks. To be honest make up is the only thing that excites me still. I did read an interesting article this morning about an indie brand called OCC who took legal action against Sephora and it set out the amount of mark up that has to be attached to make up for Sephora to sell it with the manufacturer having to pay for the store fixtures (display stands) as well as being prepared to buy back the products if they don't sell. Explains a lot why there were limited amounts of the various brands on display in Sephora when I visited last year.

One UU tonight and it's something off my PP list:

Pixi Glow Tonic 100ml WNBA. My skin doesn't seem to like this, so I've been using on my feet to help with the dry skin.

UU

Lancôme bifacil eye makeup remover 50 mls. Did the job. Several more in the stash. Replaced from same.

Yvette Rocher 250 mls pink grapefruit shower gel. Replaced.

L!!!8217;Occitane Verveine gel cream 30 mls. Loved this. Non greasy melts into your hands and leaves a faint citrus scent. Will buy again.

Tossed a very expired sun lotion and bottle of aloe vera lotion.

VALM - I don't think Sephora are a very nice company, I've seen videos from people who used to work there and it doesn't sound good. Also videos from people who've been sort of blacklisted by them.

One UU from this morning:

SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml WDBA and have. My favourite daily SPF. There's no white cast and it's leaves a matte finish. No shiny sunscreen look. It's my HG SPF at the moment. Replaced with a back up tube of this.

One TA today:

Uvistat Lipscreen SPF50 5g WNBA. This was horrible. I've been trying to use it, but it's making my lips irritated and dry. Ugh.

One UU this morning:

La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml WDBA and have. My skin only seems to like this moisturiser. I've tried other moisturisers and my skin hates them.

I have a uu

Boots Botanics Hydrating Eye Serum 15ml - this was cheap but did the job just fine, WMBA but for now I will see how I get on just using what is left of my regular moisturiser on my fingers and going over my eye area.
