    I think I forgot to post my Liz Earle ins which came on Saturday.


    Cleanse & Polish 200ml
    Skin Repair Moisturiser Normal/Combination 50ml
    Instant Boost Skin Tonic 200ml (I decant this into a spray to make it last and to avoid using cotton pads?
    Skin Repair Light 15ml
    Lavender & Basil Body Wash 250ml
    Lavender & Basil Hand Wash 250ml


    I am going to note the dates I open the skincare to see how long it actually last me.

    UU herbal essences 400ml conditioner. Was nice just got sick of the scent by the end.

    Rimmel colourstAy foundation sample: seemed nice but this was for dry skin which isn’t really my skin type

    Lush intergalactic bath bomb - love this!

    TA

    Mascara by ted baker. Came as part of an Xmas gift but it seemed really dried out and a bit useless on my lashes.

    GA/sell

    A bathbomb and 2 shower gels

    IN: I purchased an Edge Cutimal Sheet Mask

    UU: the above sheet mask WMBA
    UU: Lush Cinders shower gel - came in one of the gift sets I got on boxing day personally not a fan of the pumpkin spice scent I don't think it's my kind of smell for a showergel so WNBA
    UU: Lush Once Upon a Time Body Lotion, absolutely loved the scent of this but like someone else said it is very greasy and not something I would repurchase unless it was part of a gift.

    Now down to 2 body moisturisers! Who knew this day would come.

    dolly84 - I have a Google Docs document with all of my toiletry items on it, and I list when I opened it. Some things seem to last ages and some things tend to go a lot quicker than I imagined.

    A few INs today:

    The Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser 150ml
    The Ordinary 100% Organic Virgin Chia Seed Oil 30ml
    Charles Worthington Colourplex Toning Violet Shampoo 250ml
    Charles Worthington Colourplex Toning Violet Conditioner 250ml
    Charles Worthington Everyday Gentle Weightless Conditioner 250ml


    The first two were bought on Cult Beauty as I need an Exfoliating Cleanser for when my skin is breaking out. And the Chia Seed Oil was an add on to get free delivery. But I've had my eye on it for a while, may use it on my skin and hair :D Also popped into Boots today to look for a new shampoo and conditioner, got these three for two so I'm happy :)

    I think this is a bit of a silly question but what is the Avon website where you can buy? I think I could only find an individual consultants site the last time I googled Avon, which is fine but also weird..?

    They've changed the structure of the company now so all orders go through a rep, but there's also direct delivery so you can use a rep anywhere.

    For instance, say you're in London and you have a friend who's a rep in Cardiff, you can order through their website, they get the commission (minus a small handling fee) and a courier delivers to you. Delivery is free over £30 or I think £3.50 otherwise.

    OR just find a rep near you if you want them to deliver to you themselves, then there's no delivery fee however little you order :money: I think you can go through the website and it will automatically assign the order to a nearby rep if you don't choose one yourself.

    Wunderbrow - can’t be bothered with the fuss of it, been opened for a while and I think it’s going a bit gloopy.

    Physicians Formula nude eyeshadow palette - several years old I think. I used all the lighter shades years ago and the remaining darker shades have all blended together because there are no separators between them and they have gone hard. Except for the black sparkly one but I’m not keeping the whole thing just for that. Might have to replace that..

    Loreal Eye Paint in take a bow - this isn’t very old, but my new palette achieves a similar wine shade, and I had to blend this one so much so it wasn’t so intense, I know I won’t be bothered to use it anymore.

    1 in and a few UU to report.

    My perfume arrived from lush so that's an IN - American cream perfume.it came with 2 X samples but I've used them straight away this evening so they are UU's.

    Lush blousey shampoo sample - WBA as full size. It's almost an inscensy type scent to me, it's strong and it lingers in your hair. My hair felt soft after using this but not at all greasy.

    Lush Mamma Mia body scrub sample - WBA I would have liked it a tiny bit more scrubby but I love the scent it leaves on you so would like this as a full size. It smells like candy to me.

    Lush D'fluff shaving soap - WBA HG product. I like the scent and it does the job very well. I think I have some more stashed but I've a can of shaving gel that probably needs using first.

    I’m still working through mine! It’s defjnitely one to put on at night to let sink in. Shame as it smells so nice. I have a 250 cinders SG as well - it’s grown on me but it’s definitely not their best SG!
