    Make up Revolution Foundation Stick - I scraped the last of this from the tube into a pot and did find it was much heavier coverage that way than using it straight from the stick but wanted to use it all. This is £5 and currently on 3 for 2 making it amazing value, it is so easy to apply and blend, the coverage and finish is fab. Might not suit very oil skins though. WBA HG but I have other foundations in the stash so I will wait until the next 3 for 2 and let Superdrug be the stockist instead of me.

    Thanks for this review. I’m using NYX liquid foundation (Can’t Stop Won’t Stop?) and think the packaging is starting to fail. The pump is not dispensing the same however it looks like there is still plenty of product in there. Hate it when this happens. Was thinking of trying the ELF one next however I’ve been wanting to try a stick formula as well but of the ones I have seen the colours don’t look right. To be fair though I never knew MUR sold Foundation. Whenever I look at their displays I get bedazzled by the eyeshadow palettes.

    Am very impressed by both the Elf concealer and Maybelline highlighter I picked up last week.

    UU Lush Shoot for the Stars Bath Bomb - WMBA

    GA Crazy Rumors mint chocolate lip balm - my partner needed one, so gave this one.

    Starting to wonder what qualifies as graduating from this project. I still have multiples of certain categories but it's getting to the point where I have made a lot of progress. Would absolutely love to be in a situation where I have one or maximum two of each category.

    I fell off the wagon. I didn't pay cash but Love2Shop vouchers so it din't cost me money. But 8 full size Sanctuary products in a tote bag I bought because I really wanted the bag and need a new zippable shopping tote for 14.99 in TKM seemed too good to miss. Especially as the only other one was priced at 19.99.

    Back again for March. I somehow missed February :o ooops.
    Still continuing with the challenge, no more INs but the OUTs are slowing up.
    I did buy a Gua Sha that I mentioned in Janaury. Not sure if it's making a difference but can tell when I've used it.
    Wrap up and stay safe, this weather is mental. :eek:
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    A few UUs from today:

    Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Shea Butter 5ml sample WNB. This was nice as a hand wash but I wouldn't use it on my face.

    La Mer The Cleansing Gel 5ml sample
    WNB. This is nothing special. Not worth the £72 it sells for. A bit foamy and has a pine-ish scent. Blegh.

    Oral B Satin Tape 25m WDBA and have done. Cheap and effective. It was a good job I bought some more on Friday, haha

    I TA two x Revlon lipsticks at the weekend. They were frosted shades that I just don't reach for.


    I also TA the last of The Ordinary Caffeine Solution as it had started to dry my undereyes.



    I applied for a free MAC lipstick thinking I would get an actual lipstick. Received a promotional card with a sample attached. The formula is lovely for a matte. May have to treat myself at the Airport when I go away next month.

    UU; Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara deluxe sample. Bit of a bold claim. Not sure I'd agree! The wand was weird though the formula was lovely. Emma likes this one and says the wand on the full sized is better. I have pulled out a Milk Makeup Kush Boom mascara. Packaging is very decadent. Bet it's pricey. Yep £20.50 for a full sized 10ml. Mine is 4ml.

    One UU from last night:

    Nature Republic Real Nature Mask Sheet Tea Tree WPNB. This was alright, but it did sting slightly so I had to take it off before the 20 minutes was up. Did help soothe my skin though.

    One of the products I have had for a long time and only used periodically finished today.

    200ml Elemis Resurfacing Facial Wash 4/19.

    I have some left in a 50ml size in my overnight bag and will use this up when I am next away for a few days.

    50ml Oskia Micro Exfoliating Balm opened to use 2-3 times per week, it came in a CH/Cult box.

    I was enjoying using my Loreal micro tattoo eyebrow definer, but it started drying up after a few months and I pressed harder on it and bent the applicator. I’ve read some reviews that say the same thing for these felt tip pen like products, very uneconomical, shame. Also the silver coating on the pen started wearing off quickly and stuck to my fingers, really annoying. I’m really unsure what to go for next, what is everyone’s favourite brow product?
