    One UU this morning:

    Lush Rose Jam Shower Gel 250g WDBA. I love this scent. This lasted for a long time, nearly two months. I'm so in love with this scent :)

    Three INs today:

    Bumble and Bumble Don’t Blow It (Fine) 60ml
    Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Shampoo + Conditioner sample
    Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo + Conditioner sample


    I'm excited to try the Don't Blow It, I'm going to wait until after I've had my hair cut on Thursday before I use any of the samples or the cream. I'm trying to make a bit more effort with my hair and this air dry hair cream should hopefully help with the frizz I get. And also to use less heat on my hair.
  • Second UU of September:

    Eve Lom cleanser. WNBA. Good cleanse but not sure of the scent. Have another one though to use :p

    An UU tonight - The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG. Given the price, this is a nice product. I don't have black circles or bags around my eyes so I cannot comment on the difference it made. However, I felt that it made me look more "awake". I would happily repurchase although controversy surrounding the owner/brand puts me off a bit.

    One UU tonight:

    Cerave Facial Moisturising Lotion 52ml WNB. I won this on Facebook from the official Cerave UK page. I was a bit wary about one ingredient in it so I used it on my neck and chest and they feel much more moisturised. It's a lightweight moisturiser which a lot of people would like.

    My Bare Minerals TSV has arrived. Amazing delivery time as I ordered it on Saturday. So I have the following INs:-


    BarePro Foundation in Warm Natural - liking this so far. Will see how it performs over the course of the day.


    BarePro concealer - am now scraping product from the sides of the pot of Benefit Boing Concealer so am sure this will be gone soon and this will replace it.


    Mineral Veil - will stash or give to Emma as I think she uses it.


    Good Hydrations primer - will take this away with me


    Eyeshadow stick and lipgloss. Intend to sell these and have a buyer lined up for the lipgloss.



    TA: 2 x samples of YSL foundation. It tied me over until I got the foundation above but not wowed by it. It did the job but, if anything, wanted to try and find a cheaper foundation rather than another high end one. The search continues.
    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!

    A few INs this afternoon:

    Aderma Sensifluid Cleansing Micellar Lotion 400ml
    Noreva Sensidiane Soothing Micellar Lotion 500ml
    SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml
    Garden Of Wisdom Vitamin C 23% + Ferulic Acid 30ml
    Garden Of Wisdom Azelaic Acid 10% Serum 30ml


    These should hopefully be my only INs for this month, including yesterday's, as I'm enjoying watching my stash get smaller and smaller. Currently at 86 items in my stash but that will go down (hopefully) over this month.

    Two items on my PP list should be finished in the next few days, hopefully :)

    1 UU today - Argan Oil 5-Oil Miracle Shine Spray WNBA.

    TA - Boots Cuticle & Nail Moisturiser. Nearly full but forgotten inside a box and looks like it has gone off.

  • 1 UU this evening:

    Mandara Spa Honeymilk Dream Shower Gel - WMBA if I can find the regular sized ones, all the ones I have from this range are miniatures.

    Stash total: 195
    Less is the new more :D

    Yesterday I UUed a sample of Caroline Herrera fragrance. Not impressed by this. Couldn’t smell it on me even straight after application. Will GA or TA away the other samples and rotate a different fragrance in for the month.
