    I have a TA


    Body Shop Single Eyeshadow in Chocolate - I have used this for the last two days and whilst it is OK I don't love it and have other similar colours that I am more likely to use. I hate throwing these things out, I'm not stupid enough to think that just because it isn't in my stash anymore that it has ceased to exist, the damage was done I suppose when I was buying ridiculous amounts of the stuff.


    I have almost finished my body butter and was rooting around to find the next one to use when I realised that I hadn't bought a body moisturiser of any sort since November 2017 and that was just a mini in a BN set from a charity shop. I use it pretty much everyday so that just goes to show how crazy my stash was, and I won't need to buy any for the rest of this year:eek:.

    Another UU:

    Oskia Renaissance cleansing gel. WBA. Really liked this, a good cleanse and it lasted ages.

    I love this one. If you are a beauty pie member, Japanfusion cleanser is a good alternative.


    My Paula's Choice ordered arrived so 2 INs:

    10% Azeliac Acid Booster - I want to try all their boosters but they aren't cheap.
    1% Retinol Travel Size - just want to try before buying full size.

    A lipstick I listed has bids on it so will be one out when paid hopefully. I also ordered few bits from Beauty Pie - should arrive next week.

    Hope all well. Have a good weekend.

    Time to get ruthless:

    TA
    Benefit Hoola mini - 3/4 used, too dark for my skin really

    Rimmel waterproof black eyeliner - saving this for a funeral is stupid, also it’s too waxy

    No7 silver/grey eye shadow (freebie) - quite nice but I feel like silver/grey just exaggerates my dark circles, I need a warmer smokey eye

    Loreal nude quad - 2 lightest shades used, barely a dent in the darker 2, one of which is silver/grey, quite old.

    I have a few other make up items on my at hit list I’m going to use tonight and see what I think..

    uu


    Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada Body Butter - WNBA, 6 down 2 to go, it's nice enough but I am sick of it and it doesn't smell of lime.


    Max Factor Lasting Perfection Foundation in Fair - this is a tad light for me so I gave it to DD and she said it was too dark for her and gave me it back, I thought I would have another go with it and only got 3 uses out of it so lord alone knows how much she uses each time. It is a nice foundation, light to medium coverage and it dries so no transferring or smudging, only downside is it makes my skin feel slightly tight.


    I used my Body Shop birthday voucher to get DD her foundation, she uses the matte clay one in the lightest colour (hard for her to find one pale enough), it was buy one get one half price so at £10 each we got 2 tubes for £10.

    I have been tidying/playing in the stash drawer:D opened lots of new muslin and cotton cloths, will relegate some old tatty ones to become cleaning cloths. Taken 30ml Aurelia Miracle Cleanser from my holiday bag, only enough left for a couple of days at most so will finish this next and then go back to the Superfacialist Rose one.

    asajj - I have placed an order with Beauty Pie too, for the Japanfusion cleanser and supreme cream, also the perfume samples and a mascara, I will be back on the naughty step next week:eek:

    I blame the weather, I should be outside playing and plotting in my garden, not confined indoors trying diversion tactics like shopping rather than cleaning.:rotfl:

    I am also playing with make up instead of cleaning atm! :rotfl: I’m on a roll though:

    TA
    Loreal colour riche lipstick in Eva’s Nude - 95% finished as nice colour but too old now

    Younique lip stain in Speechless - sadly the peachy colour isn’t working for me.

    UU Lush Candy Cane Reusable Bubble Bar! - WMBA but not mad about this product

    I have made loads of progress with my Lush Roots hair treatment, using it once a week this month is really improving my hair. I am very excited to move on to the next hair treatment in my stash when it's done! Also almost finished my foundation but it is my holy grail product so I am freaking out a bit for when that happens as I have an NYX one I bought on a whim last summer which I ought to use first...

    I remember when those Loreal lipsticks were released. Did they all relate to different actresses from Desperate Housewives and we’re matched to your skin tone? I remember buying one but not liking the colour or maybe even the actress I was paired with then throwing it away because I didn’t like it.

    I’m currently using Tweak’d by Nature Hair Treatment and am on the fence about it. MRM bought me a set of three tubes for Christmas so maybe a different variety will work better. Love the guy who presents this on QVC though x

    What’s your HG Foundation?
