Hello all, hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday weekend weather. Two UUs from me

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter
The Body Shop - Wild Rose Hand Butter

Both are good products but I WNBA as I have plenty of other body creams and hand creams at all. Opened a Mango Body Yogurt from TBS. I also have a TBS hand cream on the go now.

Nothing new in

I finished a vitamin c jelly face mask. It was ok. But the hair got stuck to it and it was sticky. I prefer vitamin c serums.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish 200ml
Soap & Glory Super Tonic Orangeasm - WNBA, nice scent but it just doesn't last, cooling on the skin in this weather though and I wanted it used before it gets cooler as I can't bear spritzing wet things on when it's cold.

I got myself a new sample of Clarins' foundation, Skin Illusion SPF 15, I think this is a new formula. I have it in two colours and today I tried Flesh. Today is a hot day and I was out all day and didn't use a primer underneath the foundation. It didn't make my skin dry so far however it doesn't have great coverage. I have some brown spots near my cheekbones and I can still see them through the makeup. I haven't tried to build it up because I felt it would feel heavy on my face despite being a serum-based foundation. Full size of this product is £30 and I'm not sure if it would worth the money. I will try more and report back! I also have this in beige.

A few UUs this month - just sorting through them now for recycling purposes:

- Elemis Frangipani Monoi Bath and Shower Nectar (300ml). WMBA - nice, but wouldn't pay much for it, as there are cheaper shower gels I'm happy with. This was a gift.
- John Frieda Sheer blonde brightening shampoo (250ml). WPBA - HG, though I'll be trying some more solid shampoos once I've finished the current ones in use. This really does keep my hair very clean and bright though.
- Simple rich moisture sheet mask. WNB - part of a bundle, seems ok, but no noticeable effects.
- Madara liftin face mask. WNB - part of a bundle, seems ok, but no noticeable effects.
- skyn Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels. WMBA - pleasant and simple to use, though not sure they did much.
- Alpha-H Liquid Gold (100ml). WPBA - love this, though it's not cheap. I do see improvements from it though. Switched out for a Nip and Fab version I got on offer, but so far it's not quite as good.
- Lancome cleansing fluid (50ml). WNBA - though happy to use it again if I got it in another offer. It's ok, but a bit too milky and runny for me.
- Clinique Take the Day off (30ml). WDBA - HG. Gentle and effective.
- Clinique smart night cream (15ml). WPNBA - nice to use, but nothing special.
- Estee Lauder Rivitalizing Supreme+ day cream (15ml). WNB - also nice to use, but nothing special.
- Benefit BrowZings. WMBA - this wasn't actually totally used up, but reeeaaaaaaalllllly old. So it's great value for money Very good, but I'm experimenting with some pencials at the moment which are a bit simpler.
- Garnier Olia hair dye. WDBA - HG.
- Aura Mugler perfume sample. WNB - not my scent.
- Benefit inferno lip gloss. WBA if I could, but it's discontinued. Had to throw as it was really old, but it was almost done anyway.
- Tigi Bedhead reconstructor (and a few dregs of other conditioners mixed in) (750ml). WDBA - HG for many years now. Have another bottle in stash, though I'm intending to try some bars once that is done.

TA:
- Naturtint Anti-aging CC cream for hair. WNB - did nothing for my hair, left it looking very unshiny and feeling a bit sticky sometimes.

I've also made some progress clearing out nailpolishes:
- Opi Koala Bear-y and Maybelline Superstay in Divine Wine both had to go as they are too gloopy to use any more, though had been heavily used. Loved both colours.
- Fearne polish in a lilac type colour thrown out as it had separated. After shaking and trying it, it applied ok, but barely lasted 4 hours before chipping.

A few INs as well, from the No. 7 offer:
- Large Kabuki Brush (to use with my Laura Gellar body bronzer powder instead of the silly puff thing it came with. I'd been wanting to replace that for a while)
- eyebrow pencil in blonde
- mini facial sunscreen (50p in a charity lucky-dip in store)
- Eyeshadow palette
All for £14.50 with the £10 off voucher. I'm happy with that - all will be used.

I also treated myself to a new electric mains powered pedicure kit to replace by very old No7 battery powered one. I'm loving it already - easier to polish some of my more messed up toenails, as well as keep hard skin under control.

Amendment! This wasn't the Skin Illusion but Everlasting Youth Fluid! Today I tried the Beige and this is a better colour for me, other colour was too pale. Today weather wasn't as hot so the product kept in place better. It has a nice glow and I have been wearing this for about 6 hours now and it still looks fine.

1 UU - Clinique 2 in 1 Micellar Gel + Light Make Up Remover. This was a GWP and 30 ml. I like the texture of it but WNBA as I don't think it is worth the price. I have another one of the same size.

Two UUs from this morning:

Maui Moisture Strength & Anti Breakage Agave Shampoo 385ml WDBA and have done. Great stuff, no SLS, which means my scalp isn't irritated any more. Lovely scent as well.

Maui Moisture Strength & Anti Breakage Agave Conditioner 385ml WDBA and have done. Lovely conditioner, really helps nourish my hair and keeps it under control.

And a few INs today:

Colgate Total Original Toothpaste sample
Colgate Total Original Toothpaste sample
Oral B Pro Expert Toothpaste sample

A few free samples that I got from my hygienist appointment this morning.
