Comments

Bought a Derma Vie Anti Wrinkle cream for 99p yesterday. The texture actually is lovely on first impression but the flowery fragrance not so. Will persevere. If I have a reaction to it, will use it as body lotion.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!

Couple of more UUs - it is a good month!
Treets Body Sugar Scrub. Mango & Jasmine - Bought this from TKMaxx and it was nice but didn't last long. I'm trying to UU my body scrubs and will not replace them as I want to use gloves instead. I have a Soap and Glory one to UU next.
No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Moisturising Body Serum - Lovely product and not bad value for money. I think this was part of a Christmas gift set. I WMBA if it is on an offer. I have few other body lotions/butters to UU first though.
Nivea Good-bye Cellulite Gel-Cream: LHJ. I liked this but not sure if it is still on sale. I think it is especially great for summer as it has a really cooling effect. WMBA.ally.0 -
One UU from last night:
SVR Sebiaclear Hydra Moisturiser sample 5ml WPNB as a full size. This was alright but a bit thick and paste like. Hm.0 -
One OUT from the other day:
Avene Mineral Fluid SPF50+ 40ml
I sold this on Reddit to someone, at least they will make use of it.0 -

Another UU
Next Define Perfume - Really glad I!!!8217;ve used this one up before it started to go off. WDBA if Next would re-do it! Total is 217.Less is the new more0 -
Two UUs tonight:
Lush Dreamtime Bath Oil WDBA. This was lovely. Such a lovely scent.
REN Vita Mineral Emollient Rescue Cream 50ml WNBA. I think this was an Impulse purchase. Used up as a foot cream.0 -
Count me in for the Finish 7 by Autumn Challenge too.
I had the Urban Decay Easy blush (from Gwen Stefani palette) and NARS Cruella lip crayon left. I am going to roll the blush over as I have substantial pan in it now but intend to get rid of the crayon at the end of this month. I have to sharpen it every day now to get good pigmentation and the formula is drying so I'll consider it done then.
My list:-
Urban Decay Easy blush from Gwen Stefani palette
MAC Brave lipstick
Avon eyeshadow (from Warm Cashmere duo)
Urban Decay Darkhorse eyeshadow from Naked palette
Wet and Wild Contour duo - yellow powder only
Benefit Boing concealer
OPI mini.
I'm still using the OPI Coca Cola Red but hoping this will be done by the end of the month too so I can roll another mini in.
Today am wearing OPI Red my Fortune Cookie (a favourite) with Coca Cola Red on accent fingers. I can see the difference. Not sure anyone else can.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!

Is there a dark side to the growing obsession with skincare?
https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2018/jun/21/is-there-dark-side-to-growing-obsession-with-skincare?CMP=share_btn_link0 -
Hello everyone, gorgeous weather this weekend. Hope everyone has enjoyed it at least a bit.
I have 2 UUs
Pixi Double Cleanser and Ordinary The Buffet.
I will repurchase the double cleanser once I run out of my current makeup remover.
I already have another The Buffet in my stash. I use this instead of a moisturiser after my Ordinary acids. The result is amazing.ally.0
