    One UU this morning:

    Eve Lom Morning Time Cleanser 5ml sample WMB as a full size. This was actually very nice. Bit strange using a cleansing balm in the morning, I prefer a cleansing milk, but this was lovely. Smells like old fashioned boiled sweets, strangely, haha. I would use it if I received it as a gift, as the full size is £40 :eek::rotfl: Though, I probably would buy myself if I wanted it.

    Couple of UUs from me:

    Soap Glory Body Scrub - I think this was the last of my body scrubs. I am cutting down on scrub usage and going back to body brush. Less plastic, less product down the drain.
    Garnier Hair Conditioner - Works for me.
    Nip+Fab Dragon Blood Hyaluronic Shot - Love this one, effective and good value for money. Have one more in the stash. WBA in the future.

    uu

    L'oreal Nourishing Hair Mask 200ml - have a couple more of these in the stash as I originally bought 6 on a 3 for 2. Makes my hair nice and soft so using the others won't be a hardship.

    Look Fantastic have dispatched my free gift. Yay

    Last few days to really go at these:-


    [STRIKE]No 7 Cuticle and Nail Cream[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Nivea Deodorant [/STRIKE]
    Cremo Shave Cream
    [STRIKE] Atelier Cologne perfume 8 samples[/STRIKE]

    I have cut open the Lacura balm tube today. All the other tubes are squishy but think they will be carried over to March.

    Updated MSE 7 By Spring

    Benefit Lemon Aid
    [STRIKE]Hourglass Dim Light powder [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Marc Jacobs Sonic Truth mini lipstick [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]NARS Albatross [/STRIKE]
    OPI I Theodora You
    Urban Decay Darkhorse

    NARS Albatross gone.



    We have until 23 March 2019 for this challenge. I may have finished the Lemon Aid and I Theadora You by then but Darkhorse still defeats me. I did tip some nail polish remover into ITY at the weekend and it made it apply really streakily. When I can give my manicure some real time (weekend) I will try again.

    One GA today:

    Primark x Alex Steinherr Maximum Moisture Micellar Cleansing Gel 400ml

    I've passed this onto a friend who wants to try it. I would never have finished all of this. Must stop impulse purchases. I'm getting better at not impulsively buying something, but I do have some occasionally slip ups.

    UU Lush Butterbear bath bomb yesterday WMBA - it's just Butterball in another shape I guess?
    UU Elemis Superfood Facial Oil Sample - Will prob not buy as it is ££ but it's definitely the best item in the superfood range and I would highly recommend it.

    Some IN's, eeek

    Pure Deo Co Lemongrass Natural Deodorant - got this from TK Maxx and will only use it when I have used up the one I am using up at the moment, looks great and smells lovely though.
    Primark x Alex Steinherr Pore Balance Super Detox Clay Mousse Face Mask
    Primark x Alex Steinherr Plump & Glow Serum-in-Cream Moisturiser
    Primark x Alex Steinherr Plump and Glow The Power Mask
    Super excited about these I hope they are good!
