I think the two Elemis creams will be finished shortly.


I wanted to make a concerted effort to wear my Stila Glitter and Glow eyeshadow as it is drying up and I've taken the stopper out. Bit miffed as I've only had it about a year and wear it when I go out. Anyway, the last couple of days I have used it as a "sticky base" under other eyeshadow and on first application it makes anything else on top of it look really gorgeous however I have just been to the bathroom and my face is a glitter ball! Will TA this later and report back.

One UU from this morning:

Nivea Pearl and Beauty Deodorant 50ml WDBA and have done. I like this but I prefer the Stress Protect version but I can't find it in stock anywhere. Cheap and effective.

VALM - my stash list would be way bigger than yours and that's after only having about 10 ins last year, it just never seems to go down. The only area I have under control is skincare.

Yes, I have skincare, bodycare and haircare under control. The only makeup items I have under control are staples ie foundation, concealer and powder.

My HG too. I like the fact that the container is glass so I can see how much is left. Not fussy about the fragrance of it and pick up any I find when I repurchase.

I finished a catrice concealer. It is good, excellent coverage and the colour is ok, a bit too dark but would get again as so cheap and workable.

I bought the La roche posey spf 50 in a spray tin, I used rhis aerosol when it first came out and loved it as it goes on over my foundation and doubles as a setting spray. It keeps the makeup looking perfect, blusher and highlighter last all day. It is better than any setting spray I have ever used and I can protect my skin.

Second UU of January:

Liz Earle Eyebright. WBA. This is great for hay fever in summer.

Ateliar Cologne body lotion



I'm getting rid of the Vaseline body lotion as it's vile. I can only think that it's chock full of mineral oil as it won't absorb and I'm even still feeling sticky when I get home from work and change my clothes. Have replaced this with one of the small bottles of Ateliar Cologne body lotion from my advent calendar.

16 Vaseline Advanced Repair Fragrance Free Body Lotion TA - I've made my feelings known above.


17 Ateliar Cologne shower gel Clementine California love this fragrance and it foamed nicely however the gel was very thin in consistency and I had to use quite a bit each time. The packaging was rubbish as well. I had to unscrew the cap rather than flip up the top as I couldn't get it open. I have one more of these which I intend to use after I've used up my Elemis shower milk so that I can gauge when I will need to order more shower gel and body lotion.

2 more UUs

L’Or!al kids shampoo - I bought this as I have coloured hair and was recommended as it’s gentle. It’s nice but not a fan of the mango scent. WBA when I redye my hair but iif you want a good cleanse or have oily hair you probably need something stronger

Coffee body scrub (present from Spain) - I loved the smell of this and the scrub was coarse and good for dry skin. However it did leave a ‘layer’ afterwards which was a bit brown so I did have to concentrate to remove it. WNBA as although the smell was amazing and the scrub good, i didn’t love how my skin felt afterwards

Replacing above with an S&G scrub and a mini shampoo

Now I’ve got the hang of this a bit more, my PP for January:

S&G moisturiser
Lush ectoplasm SG
Lush fresh face mask
15 samples/minis

LUSH Cup o Coffee is a favourite of mine. Smells divine. Is more scrubby than oily and rinses well. Only problem with it is that it can be messy and I usually have to give the shower/bath a clean after using it. I repurchase time and again though.



I have in the past made my own scrub with coffee grains and baby oil but the consistency was too oily.
