    NYX Dark Circle Concealer and E45 200ml lotion. Both bought with Boots AP so not counting as a spend.



    The hunt goes on for the night cream though.

    M&S Absolute Sleep Cream - I was pleasantly surprised with this product. Currently, there is a special offer on it.

    I sold a Clarins Lipstick and a YSL Eyeliner. I bought a YSL Lipstick and Touch Eclat, both discounted as they were in Christmas packaging.
    UU Femfresh, purchased one more to replace the same.

    Two UUs tonight:

    Lush The Comforter Bubble Bar WDBA. I love the Comforter scent. It's so sweet and fruity. I've had this bubble bar a while so I thought I'd use it up before I forget about it any longer.

    Lush Sugar Plum Fairy Sugar Scrub WNB. This was nice, but it was a little bit harsh if you don't wet it enough. Nice scent though.

    I'm going shopping in Newcastle tomorrow, so I may have a few INs as an early Birthday treat :)

    I like the Liz Earle moisturiser as a day and night cream and in winter I like her oil followed by the moisturiser, I always feel like my skin breathes a sigh of relief when I go back to it.


    Hi dolly, I like this cream too but it's not making my skin feel soft and supple anymore. I've tried the Superskin too but don't like the fragrance of it. I'm looking at products containing retinol, I think.
    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!

    26 Bare Minerals Bare Pro foundation I have still been using this and alternating between it and the new NYX one I bought to test the difference. I think I prefer this one to be honest as I like the sheerness of it. The NYX one says that it controls shine which it doesn't as it does oxidise on my nose. I have found though if I put more primer on my nose and add more powder it makes a huge difference.


    27 ASDA cotton wool I tend to pick up cotton wool from wherever I shop so don't have any allegiance to a particular brand. The only one I've tried that was bad was Sainsbury's own brand. Have another roll in my stash.


    28 Buxom lipgloss in Samantha I liked this colour but won't purchase this formula again. Don't like the tingle.


    20 Ateliar Cologne Pomelo Paradis this is lovely. There's a pattern with the ones that I like as in they all have citrussy notes. I have the body lotion on the go at the moment however I've cut the bottle open today so it should be gone tomorrow.

    I really like this too - and yes, was surprised by how good it was :) Really enjoy using it now. Sometimes I alternate it with Liquid Gold too.

    M&S night cream is my hg - not the cheapest, but feels high end on my face, especially when I wake up! Day cream is lovely too - well in fact the whole range is lol x

    A sneaky little NBI using APs No 7 Radiant Results Cleansing Balm was on offer at £5, none in my local store or on-line, but as I had to be in neighbouring town I looked and found it. 3/3

    A few INs today:

    Lush Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar
    Lush Peachy Bath Bomb
    Lush Love Boat Bath Bomb
    Aromatherapy Associates Revive Body Gel 40ml sample
    Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum 5ml sample


    I've had a nice day out in Newcastle, only got a few bits from Lush, and I'm only keeping half of my Space NK birthday gift, as I'm going to send the other two bits to someone who's in one of the Facebook groups I'm in as they want to try them :)
  • 1 UU today:

    The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Splash - WBA as it has a lovely fresh smell. Hopefully they will repeat this fragrance in the summer.

    Stash total is 111
    Less is the new more :D
  • In flomar concealer in light. I have used it before and it is brilliant.

    I am using an NYX concealer but am disappointed as the tube is very small. The volume of the product is poor and with a difficult to pull out plastic inner top. Cost per use of nyx was highlighted in a magazine and i only really got it with this product. It can be a real pain as often a specific shade is sold out.
