January result:

2 UU, 0 IN
Not the fastest start but many of my PP list are very nearly done so hopefully February will be a better month for UU!

17 empties this month ����

Very pleased as most of those wouldn’t have been reached for and would have opened new or used favourites.

Bring on February ��

So
I have lots of make up as well, but I’m fairly overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. If I’m diligent i reckon I could finish a mascara and my wunderbrow too...

Choose enough items from your makeup collection to makeup your face ie one concealer, one foundation etc and work through them that way. I’m actually panning a couple of palettes this year - Smashbox Full Exposure and NARS Killing Me Softly. I then rotate in each month an additional blush and each week rotate in another eyeshadow palette to use at the weekend and this is working for me. With lip products I have 3 that I’m rotating in the week and again use a different one at the weekend. HTH,

Back with an update. I signed on to a free month of Netflix so that I could check out the Marie Kondo series and then decided to KonMari one of the bedrooms, whereupon I discovered MORE skin care & body lotion product so the list now looks like(

I didn’t know she is on Netflix. Will have a look. If you’re looking for other shows to watch the Ted Buddy Interviews and Ozark are really good.

Surprisingly, I live in the North East, and we've not had much snow, it's only up on the moors and fells that there's snow about. I just had a bit of bad luck, and there wasn't much I could do, it wasn't anything serious or dangerous but they still classed it as a serious fault on my test. But it was quite decent weather for my test. The sun was shining, and although it was cold, the roads were safe to drive on.

Yes, Emma has said there hasn’t been much snow in Newcastle. I do think that driving tests are the most nerve wracking experience ever. Good luck for next time.

PP List update
[STRIKE]Nails inc Hyde park basecoat[/STRIKE]
Avon Gel Shine in Emerald City - I used this several times in the month but got bored and used some other colours too. Will take it off my PP but am back into doing my nails regularly which is good.
[STRIKE]Palmers Cocoa Butter Original Solid Formula (about 1/3 left) [/STRIKE]
Essence stay all day concealer
Crazy Rumors mint chocolate lip balm
[STRIKE]Elemis Superfood Night Cream sample[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Elemis Superfood facial oil sample[/STRIKE] x 2 - I UU one not the other as I realised this is something to use sparingly once or twice a week at most
Dermatologica ultra smoothing eye serum - I am tempted to throw this away to be honest, as I feel it is past its best, but it cost me SO MUCH I am damned if I will
[STRIKE]Lush Bucks Fizz Body Conditioner [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Roots Double Effect Silk Finish Conditioner [/STRIKE]
