    One IN today, I had 5 black pots from Lush so exchanged them for an Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser in the Lush Naked shop in Manchester - it's really good that you can do that as I am not a huge fan of the fresh face masks I just never end up using them!


    Hi, is this the big Lush store in the Arndale?

    Three UUs from this morning:

    Lush Sleepy Shower Gel 260g WDBA and will do. Love this scent, it's so calming.

    Charles Worthington Colourplex Toning Violet Shampoo 250ml WNBA. This was nice but it's nothing startling.

    Charles Worthington Colourplex Toning Violet Conditioner 250ml WNBA. Same as above. Nothing amazing.

    I didn't post these this morning as I've been out in Newcastle all day with my sister. I also got my first car yesterday, so I won't be making too many impulse purchases now, haha
  • I had a good make up day today. I can't believe it stayed on all day and covered all the redness.

    rose water to tone skin and then i used starflower and evening primrose oil and moisturiser. Layered on estee lauder double wear and used ELF concealer. I used an nyx concealer in a darker tone as a contour. I used the guerlain metorites overall and laura geller highligher and blush. The face looked natural with this amount of stuff but the colour matched my neck and looked real. I have recently been doing very natural skin and heavy eye makeup to help pan the pallet.

    I finished my rose water. definitely will replace ASAP.
    my ELF liquid eye liner is running out and its so watery looking. I have lots of pencils to pan so I will not replace yet.
  • sstevo19 congratulations on the car. Happy motoring! it will give you so much freedom.

    2 GA - a lip gloss and eye brow pencil to charity as I will not use them in any case.

    1 UU - YSL Touche Eclat

    I also cancelled my LF beauty box subscription. As much as I like receiving it every month, I do have so many minis to use up and need to get on top of it..

  • I tossed out a sleek lipstick in a pink, a nude lip pencil and a lip gloss. I look better without them as the shades drain me. If it will not suit me or anyone I can give it to- I am going to get rid.

    I cut open a tester of foundation and finished it. Not sure if it is better than what I have- so I will hold back.

    finished a body lotion of caudalie the de vigne. Lovely but have lots more to use up first.

    Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen. Love this one and always repurchase.


    ABC Tea Tree Lotion (small bottle) don't mind using this if it comes in a kit but would not repurchase singularly.


    TBS Camomile Cleansing Butter. New HG. Replacement in stash.

    Been at my mums and she has given me a few things she wanted to destash as below:

    IN: Crabtree and Evelyn La Source Seaweed Volumising Shampoo
    IN: Crabtree and Evelyn La Source Seaweed Volumising Conditioner
    These are small sizes so I think I will use them for weekends away.
    IN: Ren Hot Cloth Cleanser - very excited about this
    IN: The Ordinary 100% Plant Derived Hemi-Squaline - nervous about using this haha any tips welcomed
    IN: CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion - has an SPF which is good I needed one of these
    IN: OGX Biotin and Collagen Shampoo - My mum has almost used this up but I am happy to finish it off as she is bored of it.
    IN 2x Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels

    I also purchased some aqua 24h cream gel moisturiser from HEMA, it was only £3.50 but was probably an unnecessary purchase to be honest, still will use it up and it has a glass container which I could probably reuse. Oh well.
    Purchased and then UU a HEMA face mask it was very liquidy, but my skin felt very nice afterwards.
    Purchased some stuff for a DIY toner... hasn't arrived yet feel like it was a bit of an expensive decision but I assume/hope the stuff will last a long time.
