Nails inc Hyde park basecoat - please as I am on my final basecoat in the stash now!
and the Garnier Conditioner (came with hair dye)
I don't need any products at the moment, though I don't have a face cream so have just been using body moisturiser. Any recommendations for one with SPF are gratefully received!
I like Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream with SPF. Very light consistency even though it contains SPF. Have the normal version at the moment though and am using Nivea SPF for face under it. I like this one and also Hawaiian Tropic.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!

42 Ateliar Cologne Oud Samphir sample OK.
43 No 7 GWP eyeshadow (creamy shade) Got this in one of those GWP kits that No7 give away every so often when you purchase two products. This creased like mad however due to my tenacious and mean manner I perservered. WNB No7 eyeshadows for this reason. I have been using this to "set" my primer but then applying a similar shade from my Smashbox Full Exposure palette and can feel the difference. The Smashbox one is so much smoother. Another make up item gone though.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I am not good at being ruthless with things that are O.K. but not great, but a quick scan yesterday resulted in 2 products for the local wild animal rescue CS.

50ml Elemis Gel Mask Will never get around to using this. 1/1
35ml Pixi H2O Skintint. Nice but too pale. 2/2
Unstashed my last Clinique Moisture Surge foundation which is a HG, and intend sending for the Beauty Pie samples soon.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
A few INs today:
A. Florence Super Serum 10ml
A. Florence Hydration Booster Serum 10ml
A. Florence Balm Cleanser & Make Up Remover sample
A. Florence Hydrating Gel Cleanser sample
A. Florence Skin Rehab Light Cream sample
This is a small independent brand that I've been wanting to try for a while. I've picked two products which sound the most interesting to me, both have a more stable version on Vitamin C in them, so I'll see how my skin reacts. I also requested a few samples of their cleansers, which I've seen a few people rave about. And they included a sample of their newest product, the Skin Rehab Light cream, which sounds great.0 -
44 Bath and Body Works Mango handcream did not like this one. WNBA. Have replaced with Liz Earle Hand Repair 50ml. Have one B&BW handcream left after that so when I start using that I’ll know I have four weeks usage before ordering one.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

M&S Absolute All In One SPF 20 is really good.
Few INs from the weekend:
Pixi Glow Cleanser
Pixi Glow Tonic Serum
Pixi Rose Glow Mist (GWP)
Pixi H20 Skintint
So all top 3 are amazing. H20 is good but feels a bit yellow on my skin and coverage is light. I couldn't build up either.ally.0 -
Hi all, as a beauty product addict I think I need to join this thread! Makeup/skincare is my major weakness and puts a hole in my budget every month; meanwhile, my mum who is currently visiting gasped when she saw my stash recently (causing me enough guilt to go through it all and pass a bunch of things I never even use on to her).
Today I got a new Beauty Pie delivery (it's amazing btw) which came with 10 new items, and I realised it might be time to pull back. So, assuming I'm doing this right, I have 10 things IN at the moment:
IN
Beauty Pie Furturelipstick in Heartthrob Pink
Beauty Pie Futurelipstick in Total Riot
Beauty Pie Smart Powder Blush in Go Rouge
Beauty Pie Wonderful lip liner in Damzel
Beauty Pie Fantasticolour sculpting lipstick in Rebel Ruby
Beauty Pie Pro Gel liner in Very Pretty Plum
Beauty Pie Superhealthy moisture lip balm
Beauty Pie Wondercolour nail polish in Go To Girl
Beauty Pie Strobing Stick in Santorini
Beauty Pie Wondercolour Cream Shadow Stick in Goldie
This month (February) I'll commit to buying nothing new and attempting to PP the following:
PP
Benefit Bronzer Hoola Lite
Beauty Pie One Wonder Powder
NYX Butter Gloss in Angel Food Cake
NYX Butter Gloss in Cranberry Biscotti
Tarte Amazonian Clay blusher in Paaarty
Beauty Pie Lip Oil in Nude Nectar
Tarte Tartelette Tease palette
Fingers crossed0 -
Welcome Australiana. When you start to pan your items you will realise with horror how long makeup takes to use up.
