One UU from last night:

The Body Shop Shea Hand Cream 100ml WDBA. This was a nice hand cream. I used it nearly everyday. Love the smell Replaced with the Almond Hand & Nail Cream from The Body Shop.

We went for a trip to London a few weeks ago and this stall had all natural toiletries so picked up these.

They are so nice, the face scrub smells a bit like lemongrass

I do have the name of the place somewhere but for the life of me can't remember it!

Two UUs this morning:

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Shampoo 60ml WBA. This was nice and gentle on my hair and scalp.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Conditioner 60ml WBA. This really helped nourish my hair and I hate the fact that I love these as much as I do. To buy a full size of each it would come to £50 together. Maybe if I find a good deal or maybe even try to see if they do any Black Friday deals. I'm going to move onto the Pureology Shampoo and Conditioner I got to try, and I'll see how I get on with them instead.

I'm back. Had a fabulous time and did not go overboard re: toiletries. List of INs (from memory):-


From Bath & Body Works:-
10 (yes 10!) x handwash. 5 for us and 5 for Emma. Absolutely love these and they were buy 5 for $23.00. Bought mostly pumpkin fragranced ones
6 (I think) x handcreams.

1 x shower gel and 2 x shea body lotion Snow Flakes and Cashmere. Beautiful fragrance.


Will only record items bought for me from here:-
From ULTA:-
Colourpop Fortune pallette.

Essie Gel Setter Top Coat- got a free mini polish called Velvet Voyeur which I'm giving someone as a gift as it's too dark for me. Looked almost black on my nails.
Murad Toner


From Sephora:-
Kat von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper

Bite Beauty lipgloss called Vanilla Chai
MRM bought me a mascara favourites kit for Christmas and an Atelier Cologne Advent Calender both of which I'm looking forward to opening.
The above and items purchased for Emma earned me 300 point perks and I got 2 x Diorshow mini mascaras and a mini Clinique moisturiser.
I also picked up my birthday gift which was a choice between a Glamglow mini set or a Bite Beauty mini set. Chose the Glamglow to give to Emma however we called into another branch of Sephora on the last day to pick up an Hourglass powder for Emma that I hadn't been able to get and this is when MRM got me the advent calender and as they couldn't honour the 100 point perk I had earned and we were due to leave I asked if I could have the Bite Beauty kit as well. I already own the Glace colour it contained hence why I hadn't chosen it previously however have gifted this to a friend and kept the other lipstick which is a mini called Chai.



From CVS:-
Physicians Formula Bronzer Booster. This is a gorgeous product. I wanted one of the butter bronzers but could not figure out the right shade for me.
Essie Angora Cardi lacquer to replace my finished bottle. Was disappointed that I could not find either the new OPI colours or the Fan Faves anywhere. Was quite proud of myself for not buying any mini lacquers though. I saw the new colours yesterday in Sally's and was not blown away by them either. Think I will order a couple of the Fan Faves from Nail Polish Direct though.



Went to a "Pamper Party" on the ship which consisted of 50 ladies being given dollops of various Elemis products to apply (cleanser, toner, PCMC, Eye Concentrate and Neck and Bust Cream) followed by an invitation to sign up for collagen fillers and seaweed wraps followed by the advertised make over of a swift brush over the face with SunGold bronzer. The number of women signing up for the treatments and buying pots of bronzer was staggering! I was a bit disappointed that they did not offer discounts on the Elemis products but hey ho. MRM was relieved! ha.


My PP list is now looking like this:-


[STRIKE]Murad toner
LUSH Dirty shave cream
[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Aussie shampoo[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Boots Extracts Coconut body wash[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Elemis PCMC SPF
ABC body lotion
Neutrogena Hydroboost eye cream
ABC skinwash
Nivea deodorant
[/STRIKE]Bath & Body Works mint handcream

Just the handcream left. The tube is feeling squishy though.


I have replaced the toner.



Have not replaced my shave cream. Did intend to order from the 5 Dollar Shave Club to try their shave butter however MRM forgot his new shave gel on holiday and bought one called Creemo that he's not overawed by so I will use this.


Don't need to replace shampoo as have a Mane and Tail bottle on the go. I did UU a mini Loccitane Repairing shampoo on holiday and TA another set of L'occitane shampoo and coniditioner minis becuase the bottles were too hard to squeeze and I've decided that life is too short. Used the shampoo and conditioner provided by Royal Caribbean for the remainder of the trip.


Body wash replaced with Bath & Body Works one mentioned above. I would have liked to have brought back more but MRM was having kittens re the handwash. Will look for this one online though I think.



I took a 15ml tube of Elemis PCMC away with me. The last of my stash so will need to order one once I get paid.



Had intended to buy a new eyecream in ULTA but they did not have the one I wanted and I couldn't be bothered looking in the end.



Have run out of ABC skinwash completely having used up the decanted bottle on holiday and am going to wait for a TSV to come along to repurchase.


I did also UU a Peter Thomas Roth mini conditioner on holiday and I remember throwing away an Avon Red Supreme matte lipstick. Need to stop buying matte shades as I don't like them.



All in all, I don't think I was that bad??

I posted this on the wrong thread yesterday:-


Back to this challenge now that I'm back from holiday:-

To be finished:-

OPI mini This is not Whine Country - I used the last of this yesterday and will choose another from my stash to replace this. Will keep rotating them in until the end of the project. They seem to last about a month and a half with regular usage.

OPI full size Don't Pretzel My Buttons - I couldn't find this in my nail polish bag yesterday so not sure if I have put it away in my stash or finished it. Don't remember finishing it. Will check later.

Lorac Pro Pink Mauve eyeshadow from mini Lorac Pro Matte palette - need to get back to using this.

Wet n Wild yellow powder from two powder compact - I threw this away on holiday as the packaging broke and I didn't want to travel back with it. Don't think I'd repurchase but it was nice to try. Will have to rotate another product in. Will let you know.

Bare Minerals Boss Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lip Colour - again, need to start using this again. I was noticing prior to my holiday that I was scraping product from the sides so hopefully this will be gone soon.

Benefit Eyebrow highlighter pencil - I finished this on holiday. Could not sharpen it anymore. WNBA. Was amazed however to see a Benefit Cosmetics vending machine at Atlanta Airport.

To hit pan on:-

Laura Geller Balance N Brighten - think that it won't be long before I hit pan. Have to keep scraping the hard pan away though. Have been using this as foundation since my return from holiday.

Urban Decay Darkhorse eyeshadow from Naked 1 palette - has dip (no progress at all it seems).

No 7 GWP mini eyeshadow - has dip - looks like I may hit pan soon. Have used this whilst away.

Marc Jacobs Sonic Truth lipstick - didn't take this away. Will resume wearing it.

Urban Decay Kinky Revolution High Colour lipgloss - Ditto.

NARS Orgasm blush - pan has widened. Will keep in project to see if I can finish it.

To update on the above:-


I've replaced my OPI mini and am using She's a Bad Muffeletta. Had a crisis of conscience last night. Emptied out the bag of minis and decided I was going to declutter a couple of purple polishes as I just don't get on with purple lacquer. I then decided to declutter a silver one that looked like it had separated anyway. Then I decided to declutter a couple of nudes as I have plenty of those. Ditto for a selection of vampy colours. When I realised I only had 6 minis left and they were all bright colours I felt conflicted as it felt like cheating to just throw them away without attempting to wear them especially as I should be wearing vampy colours now it's Autumn so threw them all back in the bag this mornnig and back into the stash. Will carry on culling as I go I think.



I ended up just disposing of one which was Sephora by OPI Metro Chic. I'm sure that maddiemay remebers the time that we were all looking for the perfect taupe/mauve colour. This was not it. I was in denial until now.



The colour I'm wearing though does look good with my tan. I do also have a full sized bottle too.



Found Don't Pretzel my Buttons and put it back in rotation.


Have decided to replace the WnW powder with my NARS Albatross highlighter which is in the same palette as the Orgasm blush. Aim to use as much as I can. There's a dip in it.



Realised this morning that the Balance N Brighten has hit pan. There is terracotta tile showing.

VALM

I had a UU this morning: My Burberry. I liked this but WNBA as I prefer Paco Rabanne Olympea.


Finished 2 other fragrances on holiday:-


Liz Earle No 9 Botanical - I have come to love this when worn in Autumn. Have put this on Santa's wish list (along with Olympea).


Sample size of Philosophy Pure Grace. Have a full size of this. Lovely clean fresh scent.


Have resumed using Caroline Herera Good Girl until the end of this month although there's not much of that left either.


I did also UU a small Sanctuary shower gel and moisturiser combined. Still don't like these and will definitely not purchase (this came as a freebie in the post).
