    UU of the day...

    Clinique Superprimer Universal Face Primer. I loved this. It is expensive definitely but lasted me for a good two months when I used it everyday. I re-purchased it.

    Also 1 IN -
    Clinique Fresh Pressed Renewing Powder Cleanser with Pure Vitamin C, 28 x 0.5g. John Lewis had 10% off so I purchased this along with primer. I used some gift cards to pay so not too bad..

    I have a few half-used cleansers and I'm aiming to finish some of them this month. One definitely is on track but not sure how many I can go through. Some of them will be repurposed as hand/body wash I think. I wanna clear them and now I know what I like, I will just purchase them going forward.

    I have a uu from my 7 by Summer items

    Body Shop Lip & Cheek Tint - this was in colour 01, lovely natural flush, I started applying this with a stipple brush towards the end and wish I had tried that at the start or even on the first one of these I used ages ago as it goes on so much better. One more in the stash but have moved on to Soap & Glory Cheekmate which is very similar.

    I have hit the very tiniest speck of pan in my MAC Whenever You Call eyeshadow today. I started using this on 17 January and have used it every other day since then.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    One IN today:

    Paula's Choice Pore Clarifying Charcoal Gel Mask 88ml

    This was purchased last week as LookFantastic had 20% off Paula's Choice products so I bought this to have handy for when I want a pamper night and want to use a face mask. This didn't irritate my skin or leave it red after I removed it, when I tried a sample of this a while ago.

    All the INs I have this month were bought in March it's just the bank holiday causing a delay in them getting sent out. I'm trying not to spend any money on toiletries or skincare this month. I will work my way through my stash.

    Hello all! I hope you had a good Easter?

    I will have three INs for April, my OH gave me an IOU at Christmas (we don't do gift cards any more) for £50 to spend towards skincare or make-up of my choice and I saw a brilliant Elemis offer on QVC for three items I wanted (and no extras I didn't) so I will declare these mid-April when they arrive.

    A few UUs this evening:

    Lush Plum Snow Bubble Bar WNBA. This was nice but I got a bit sick of the scent of it.

    Lush Metamorphosis Bath Bomb WDBA. This was nice and I enjoyed the scent :)

    The Body Shop Shea Body Scrub 50ml WBA. I like these when I'm in the mood for some exfoliation on my body. That's another item crossed off my PP list :)

    I have ordered few bits from Superdrug as they have a 3 for 2 offer currently :o

    Not an UU but I'm loving my I Heart Revolution Blushing Heart Range. I have Dragon's Heart and it is well pigmented and lasts all day. Bargain for the price.

    One UU this morning:

    Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner 190ml WDBA and I will buy it later on in the year ready for Autumn/Winter. I love this toner. When used daily it keeps my skin smooth and soft. I'm sad that it's empty now.
