    Some of the things that hung on from January have been UU in the last few days:D

    Guest size tablet of soap 1/5
    Sample Pestle & Mortar Superstar 2/5
    15ml Clarins SOS Repair Concentrate 3/5
    15ml Elemis Pro Radiance Flash Balm 4/5
    41g Mitchum Stick AP/Deo 5/5

    The Clarins SOS Repair Concentrate has been around ages as I kept it in my "first aid kit" when having a break out of dermatitis, it is expensive and I did not want it to go off. If necessary I WBA, but in the meantime have ordered a GOW Squalene Oil and Hyaluronic Acid Serum from Victora Health as I am getting low on Pestle & Mortar Hyaluronic Acid, huge difference in price, it would be nice if both work out:money:

    Benefit single eyeshadow in champagne pink - there was a teeny bit of this left but it just kept crumbling and getting on to my clothes, it has taken forever to get through this one shadow so there is no hope for the rest of my stash.


    Soap & Glory Cheekmate - I used about 3/4 of this tube but I am just a bit fed of it really, you need the tiniest dab so the tube just goes on and on and the colour is a bit intense even for me. I've been using this for a very, very long time and I need to be cracking on with other blushes.


    Last night I had a big declutter, DD took quite a lot so she's happy. I will list them tomorrow.

    One UU from this morning:

    La Roche Posay Lipikar Surgras Concentrated Shower Cream 200ml WPNBA. This was very gentle and not drying at all. but it's so boring. And the smell is a funny one. It smells like grass.

    And two INs today:

    The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Eye & Lip Contour Cream 15ml
    The Body Shop Ethiopian Honey Deep Nourishing Mask 75ml


    Two new treats to try. Used both of my rewards from the Love Your Body Club, and a £10 off orders over £30, so I only paid £10 for this order :D

    Estee Lauder Beautiful Body Lotion 100ml - this was really lovely, I used it when wearing the perfume and put it on in the morning just on my top half so it really intensifies the scent of the EDP. The 75ml bottle of the matching perfume is still going strong.

    A number of sample INs today:

    Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil 3ml sample
    Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner 3ml sample
    Klairs Supple Preparation Unscented Toner 3ml sample
    Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum 3ml sample
    Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask 3ml sample
    Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream 3ml sample


    I got these samples from Wishtrend. They sent out an email saying you could get a sample pack of all their favourite products, and it took a couple of weeks for it too arrive.

    I also received some samples from a woman who is in the same skincare group as me on Facebook. I'm not including them in my overall stash list.

    Sisley Cleansing Milk with Sage 5ml sample
    Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Shea Butter 5ml sample
    Clarins SOS Pure Rebalancing Clay Mask 5ml sample
    Clarins Multi-active Jour SPF15 Day Cream 5ml sample
    Clinique Fresh Pressed Renewing Powder Cleanser sample
    Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm sample
    Eve Lom Morning Time Cleanser 5ml sample
    Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Foam 1.5ml sample
    Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Foam 1.5ml sample
    La Mer The Cleansing Gel 5ml sample


    I'm excited to try all these samples :)

    My dearly departed MIL used to wear Beautiful. It is a gorgeous fragrance. I used to like Knowing by EL too. Wore that on my wedding day.


    12 ABC tea tree body lotion HG though I don't have any at the moment. Am going to try adding tea tree oil to my E45 lotion.

    E45 body lotion. WBA. Love this for winter, but have a big old stash to use up before I need to buy any more!

    Need to use less Tea Tree oil. Everywhere smells of it.
