    One UU today:

    Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence SPF50+ 80ml WNBA. I wanted to love this but the skin on my face didn't agree with it. Used it up on my neck and the backs of my hands. Its a lovely texture though.

    VALM - I've never had a Mally product or even seen one. I haven't had a problem with the caviar sticks breaking but the Sandglow one was the only full size one I've had the rest have been minis. The Charlotte Tilbury pencils are really good (can't remember the name) but the colours were all really dark or were when I bought mine. I do have a NYX one in yoghurt I think which is my go to champagne pink/gold colour.


    ins


    2 x St Moritz Self Tan Mousse - both myself and DD will be using this, I have half a bottle of Garnier Summer Body from last year but it doesn't tan anymore so I will use it up as body lotion, I also have 1 new can and 1/2 a can of the Sally Hansen leg something or other which I love and a little tube of St Tropez wash off tanning gel but we just needed something that lasts a few days.

    One UU this morning:

    A. Florence Hydration Booster Serum 2ml sample WDBA. This is lovely. Love using this in my morning routines as this plus the Hada Labo lotion I have, leaves my skin feeling very moist and glowy. Very nice. I will repurchase the full size version in a few weeks or so, I'm going to try the Super Serum next.

    Carried over:
    3 samples (any)
    [STRIKE]Lush once upon a time moisturiser 100g
    1x mini[/STRIKE]

    [STRIKE]Super drug day cream 75g
    Chanpneys body scrub[/STRIKE]
    Barry M primer
    [STRIKE]1x conditioner
    1x shower gel [/STRIKE]

    Made some progress which is great considering I’ve been quite ill and off work for about 2 weeks.

    UU

    Clarins body wash 30ml WNBA this was a freebie along with the hair stuff. Was fine to go on hols with but not for every day

    Lush once upon a time moisturiser. This was LHJ WNBA unless they changed formula as just a bit too greasy

    Philip Kingsley pre shampoo 40ml WNBA just didn’t do anything for my hair

    Clarins shampoo 30ml and conditioner 30ml as above

    Superdrug day cream for combo skin 75ml WNBA this was ok but probably more for dry skin

    Anatomicals cucumber mask WBA but 2 doffeeent ones left in the pack

    Champneys heavenly lavender warming scrub 250g. This felt lovely and was warming WMBA

    Lush unicorn horn HG
    Lush guardian of the forest bomb HG
    Lush figaro bomb. WNB nice in the bath just not my scent
    Lush umbrella tree bomb WBA I like the perfume of this and the bomb was nice but it was a little drying

    Stash is now 236. I’m chuffed how I’m almost on top of my haircare. But shower gel and moisturiser is going to be a tough one to get through but I will persevere. :j

    Used my Boots points to buy a Face Halo, will let you know how I get on with it.

    Works well! The only thing is that it’s difficult to remove make up from the lower lash line. My OH likes it too and will buy one. Our cotton pad and make up remover use will decrease massively, but I did have to buy baby wash to wash it with. Doesn’t come fully clean, will put it in the wash weekly. I do wonder how much better it is than a flannel though, having never used one..

    Mally is sold on QVC.

    I have had the NYX ones too but don’t find them as soft as either the Laura Mercier or Mally ones and think I prefer the push up type to those that you sharpen.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    sunny_money - I have a microfibre mitt which removes makeup with just water but I have always used it with cleanser. I may look into the face halo when I am getting near the end of my cleansers.

    I cleanse after sometimes as well, personal preference I think. :o
