    One UU from this morning:

    Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel 250g WDBA and will do in the future. I love the Lush shower gels, the smells make me feel a little bit better every time I smell them. The next time I'm near a Lush store, I'm going to pop in and buy a bottle of my favourite shower gel, Rose Jam. But Snow Fairy is one of my favourites as well :)

    Probably the last UU for July, although I cannot see how much of my serum is left.

    250ml Body Shop Milk & Almond Shower Cream 10/54

    uu


    Philosophy Shear Splendour Shampoo 1L - this was lovely but WNBA.


    Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Peek-a-boo - WNBA, pointless really, you get such a tiny amount of product and a load of wasteful plastic. They used to do really nice lip crayons and they replaced them with these. I still have some of the old type unopened in the stash.

    One UU from last night:

    Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser sample WMB as a full size but probably not. It's a nice cleanser, but the smell could be too much for some people.

    One TA as well:

    REN AHA Smart Renewal Body Serum 50ml sample WNB. This just made my skin itch and itch. Not a fan.

    July

    [STRIKE]Hand moisturiser (30ml[/STRIKE])
    Benefit porefessional (spluttering)
    [STRIKE]Mascara lash accelerator[/STRIKE]
    Lush Karma moisturiser (225ml)
    Sport fx cooling primer
    Clinique eye cream (15ml)
    All samples (6)

    UU hand cream. This was Milton brown from a flight I think! Not bad but not amazing.

    Lash accelerator WBA good product for my short blonde lashes. In fact I have only one mascara left now which I might TA as it is a bit dry

    Lush kisskin bubble bar. WBA but not leave it so long to use. This one was soft and didn’t smell of much :(

    Living proof perfect hair WNB this did nothing! Absolutely nothing :(

    Peray and reed overnight hair recovery WNBA but this is maybe because I had 30ml and I have loads of hair. It felt nice I guess but didn’t do anything to the condition of my hair.

    Overall I have combination hair, but it’s been feeling particularly dry recently in the heat. Any suggestions for hair products welcome!

    One UU from yesterday:

    Colgate Plax Cool Mint Mouthwash 250ml WDBA and will do in a few days time. Lovely mouthwash, its doesn't have a harsh mint flavour like some I've used.

    An update from me....

    UUs
    4711 Eau de Cologne 50ml - WDBA, much cheaper and a lot nicer than the highly-esteeemed (by others!) Clarins Dynamisante! I'll keep a look out for this at Christmas as it's often in a gift set, which is how I bought it this time!
    Boots Cucumber Facial Wash 150ml - Very nice for such a cheap product, WBA
    Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream 15ml - I forgot how good this was, WDBA!
    Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 700ml (Brush Cleaner) - Excellent brush cleaner and good as a first clean of my reusable make-up pads.
    Johnson's Fresh Baby Powder 500g - WBA, has less talc in it than the standard but a lot nicer than the terrible talc-free cottontouch one!
    Lancôme Advanced Genifique Hydrogel Melting Mask - WNBA, I've tried all manner of sheet masks from cheap to expensive and I still can't see why people love them, they're awfully overrated in my opinion!
    Lancôme Bi-Facil Eye Cleanser 30ml - HG
    Rituals The Ritual of Sakura Foaming Shower Gel 200ml - WNBA, an overrated brand in my opinion, foamed but only on the body, dripped very annoyingly out of the can and smelt of nothing special.
    Superdrug Manuka Honey Face Wipes x 25 - WNBA, too honey-ey but did a good job.

    Avon MagiX HD Finishing Powder - HG, I've tried the ELF one but found it too grainy!
    L'Oreal True Match Powder N4 - HG

    GA - a clear-out of some things I'll never use!
    Avon ANEW Age-Transforming Compact Foundation Nude - slightly too dark and far too heavy for me.
    Beauty Bon Contour Palette - I can't be bothered trying to contour, it never looks good on me!
    Beauty Pie Superbrow Pro-Sculpting Powder - Ash Brown - however I applied this, it gave me 'sharpie brows'! :eek::rotfl:
    Lacura Broadway Shape & Glow - Too golden
    Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear samples in 010 Beige Porcelaine, 005 Beige Ivoire & 010.1 Beige Ecru - WNB full-size as none of these were as good a match as the No7 foundations in Cool Ivory!
    Leighton Denny Glitter Nail Polish 12ml - Too similar to others I have.
    No7 Stay Perfect Eye Shadow Primer - Useless product, WDNBA!
    Primark Matte Bronzing Powder in Fearless & Suspect - unopened and can't remember why I bought them!
    Technic 24ct Gold Highlighting Powder - Lovely but I have the NARS Orgasm blusher which gives a much nicer pink-gold shimmer.

    TA
    Angela Langford Angel eyes nourishing eye oil 2ml - WNB full size, it didn't irritate but no matter how careful I was when applying, it always made its way into my eyes and made my vision blurry!
    Smashbox Insta-matte Lipstick Transformer 5ml - WNB full-size, didn't feel or look very good.
