    A lot of INs but I don’t mind as it saves me breaking the No Buy:-

    4 x MAC mini Pretty Things lipglosses
    OPI kit containing 4 x Infinite Shine colours plus corresponding primer and top coat
    Sephora Favourites mascara wardrobe contains 7 deluxe sized, 2 full sized and a deluxe primer
    Liz Earle no 9 fragrance
    Liz Earle hand wash
    Liz Earle hand cream
    LUSH Cup o Coffee
    LUSH Dirty
    3 x LUSH bath bombs and one bath bar
    1 Ted Baker mini body spray
    1 Ted Baker kit containing nail colour and tinted lip balm
    No 7 nail colour called Damson Dream
    Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser
    Elemis PCMC
    Atelier Cologne Clementine California
    Hourglass palette
    Doll 10 eyebrow pomade

    Feel very spoilt.

    Oh sorry for posting again so quick but I have been going through my stash and realised:

    UU Avon Gel shine top coat! hurrah! this is a fantastic product but I prefer to get the barry m 2 in 1 as it takes up less space... need to use up another basecoat then will repurchase that from now on
    UU Beauty UK nails in daffodil delight - absolutely love this shade and polish but it went gloopy very fast therfore WNBA :(

    One UU tonight:

    Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Sheet Mask WDBA and will do in the future. Using this tonight to help calm my skin after I forgot to do my evening skincare routine a few times last week when I was really poorly. Hoping this helps calms things down.

    Another UU Boots Nail Polish Remover. Replacement bought already. Wearing OPI IS Miami Beet. Looks like a good dupe for Manicurist of Seville.

    Hope you all had a good Christmas. No ins for me for Christmas, it will be years before I actually need to ask for any toiletries for Christmas.



    I have done a small Superdrug order which I will declare when in arrives.

    I realised yesterday that my foundation is about to run out. I’ve been using it for 3 months which is the usual rare that I go through them. This was the Bare Minerals Bare Pro Serum Foundation and I loved the sheerness and coverage however the packaging got really messy. Looking to buy something similar from Boots with AP. Any recommendations.

    UU this morning B. Superdrug Face Cream - would definitely buy again - this is my go to affordable vegan friendly face cream with an SPF... but this was phase 2 and I need phase 1 again as I was trying out phase 2 as I'm in between them... and it was okay but perhaps a bit heavy?


    Tripped and fell into the LUSH sale yesterday :rotfl:
    it's pretty much the only time I buy LUSH stuff and I plan to make it all last as long as possible! I wasn't planning to go until the last moment, and so didn't have a strategy, next year I will probably plan ahead if I think there is a chance of me going!

    Merry Christmas Deer Gift Tin (which if I had planned ahead I might not have gotten tbh) which contained:
    IN: Butterbear bath bomb
    IN: Perle De Sel bath bomb
    IN: Candy Cane Reusable Bubble Bar
    IN: Puddy Holly Bubbleroon
    IN: Cinders Shower Gel
    IN: Bucks Fizz Body Conditioner
    IN: The North Polar Bear Left the Tap on Soap
    IN: Once Upon A Time Body Lotion

    Merry Christmas gift box which contained:
    IN: Golden Wonder bath bomb
    IN: Shoot For The Stars bath bomb
    IN: Luxury Lush Pud bath bomb
    IN: Lord Of Misrule bath bomb

    Also:
    IN: Magic Wand Reusable Bubble Bar


    Trying not to think about how much it cost even at half price :eek:

    I purposely stayed away yesterday and, although disappointed that there was no online sale, am relieved now that there wasn’t.
