    I can’t add anymore tips but would advise against removing stopper as the gloss then leaks everywhere. Admire your commitment though.
    It does, but for the last bit it's ok if you keep the tube upright!

    Today's UU - Dove pistachio and magnolia shower gel. Weird combination. Smelled a bit like paint! 3 more bottles of various dove from Christmas to go at - anything that's not used up by end of the year is getting donated!

    Two INs today:

    La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra Fluide 40ml
    Paula's Choice Resist Advanced Replenishing Toner 118ml


    Two new things I want to try. I've tried samples before, but I would like to test these and see how I get on with them.

    One IN today:

    Ultrasun Tinted Anti-Ageing Ivory SPF50+ 50ml

    I've been intrigued by Ultrasun for a while, and I wanted to try a tinted SPF, and this fits the bill. I went with Ivory as I'm very pale and I was worried the Honey shade might be too noticeable on me. This shade is perfect on me, it doesn't seem to be noticeable at all.

    Apart from a few samples, this should be the last of my INs for the month. I'm going to try and be good.

    Had to TA another OPI yesterday: Royal Rajah Ruby. Sad that I can!!!8217;t repurchase but do have Germanicure By OPI which is similar.

    Also finished the Chanel lipgloss yesterday. Have pulled out Bare Minerals Gen Nude liquid lipstick in Boss which I!!!8217;m pairing with Urban Decay Kinky lipgloss.

  • I!!!8217;ve taken advantage of the nice weather by staying indoors and having a clear out!! 9 GA today, all nail polishes that I have either never used or used once.

    My total stash when I entered this thread was 231. Giving away these nail polishes plus the 2 UU I had the other day brings my total to 220!
    Less is the new more :D

    Hi all - I was away for the weekend and just came back. UU'ed a couple of items recently:

    Garnier Micellar Water - 50 ml. Does the job. Have more of this. I take off make-up with this before the first cleanse. I have few of these in my cupboard and trying to use them up.

    Erno Laszlo White Marble Lotion - Deluxe sample. Felt nice on the skin but not sure what the product actually does. It was from LF beauty box.

    Monoplus Hydra Lift Serum: This was a gift from Look Fantastic after I spent the qualifying amount on the website. I think it was good enough but I didn't feel much difference on my skin so it is not something I would re-buy.

    Pixi Mud Glow Cleanser: Amazing cleanser which could be also used as a mask. I will repurchase at some point. Helps with pores and definitely gives a glow.

    Oskia Renaissance Mask (travel size): This was sent with Oskia order as a freebie and I did get 3 use out of it. After using it, my skin is immediately glowy and fresh. The effect doesn't last long though. I have too many masks and recently I'm questioning the benefits of them, I probably wont repurchase until I use all the current masks I have, which won't be before 2025 at this rate :P

    UU: 1000ml ABC Tea Tree skin wash. Love this. Have a 500ml Lavender and Tea Tree to use next.


    UU; Travel sized body lotion from Loews hotels picked up on holiday from US. Nice floral smell. Will use again when I'm next there.


    TA: OPI Original Nail Envy. Reached the point where I wasn't getting consistent product on the brush and it was a fine art getting much on there.

    Boots Moisturising Nail Polish Remover - WNBA, this was a bit naff as all Boots nail polish removers seem to be. When I went to get a replacement for this a few weeks ago Boots seem to only be selling their own brand - so I went to Superdrug and got Cutex.
