    In yet again

    I have sold a bottle of perfume and a travel size mascara on Ebay.

    I'm really not getting on with the Smashbox eyeshadow since I broke it from the pan and have tried using it loose and with Fix Plus but it still migrates down my face. Calling it done.



    Following on from this post yesterday, I thought I'd give this shadow a second chance and have applied it today by soaking it in ELF Setting spray and then patting it to my lid. If I don't get any fall out during the day I'll finish it off this way. If I do get fall out it will be gone.

    Le Soft Perfume in Lucky Bay - this is one of my favourites from the ridiculous amount of these that I bought ages and ages ago.

    OK I am GOING TO POST A STASH LIST!! This is shouted at myself, I have been doing well on the UUs but then buying more stuff, which is not the idea!

    I have a large update, reasoning on the INs given below...
    (I am still awaiting the Avon parcel but I have counted these already)

    UUs
    Dentyl Mouthwash 500ml - Smooth Mint
    Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Oil 35ml
    Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift & Firm Day Cream SPF30 15ml
    Lancôme Eau Micellaire Douceur 400ml
    Superdrug Charcoal Toothpaste Normal 75ml
    We Are Paradoxx Game Changer Multi-Task Hair Mask 200ml - from Boots review panel, very nice but not sure I'd buy it, it's very expensive!

    Cheap, generic soaps to experiment with making my own shower gel and hand wash

    Cien Soap Bar 125g - Aloe Vera x 4
    Cien Soap Bar 125g - Pure x 4
    Imperial Leather Soap 100g x 6
    Nivea Crème Soft Soap 100g x 2
    Pears Pure & Gentle Soap 125g
    Waitrose Essential Soap 125g - Camomile x 4
    Waitrose Essential Soap 125g - Seamoss x 4

    Soaps to be used as they are (lots are from the H&B penny sale)
    Ethique Bliss Bar Face Soap 15g x 2
    Ethique Frizz Wrangler Solid Shampoo 15g
    Ethique Jasmine & Ylang Ylang Body Butter Block 15g

    To experiment with making body scrub (the sugar ones didn't work out!)
    Spa Magik Bath Salts 1kg - Dead Sea
    Spa Magik Bath Salts 1kg - Himalayan Spa

    Running low on serum and SPF day creams
    I've wanted to try the Olay whips for a while and congratulated myself on paying £23.50 for one in Sainsbury's and not stocking up on the 2 for £40 in Boots! I would love more Lancome Genefique serum but it's not on any decent offers so I have bought some Avon ones to try in the interim.
    Avon Anew Clinical Anti-Wrinkle Plumping Concentrate 30ml
    Avon Anew Clinical Defend & Repair Multi-Shield Day Cream SPF50 30ml
    Avon Anew Essential Youth Maximising Serum 30ml
    Avon Anew Pollution Protect+ Day Defence Lotion SPF50 30ml
    Beauty Pie Super Healthy Skin Ultralight SPF25 50ml
    Olay Regenerist Whip SPF30 50ml

    Some may recall the hoo-haa over these products, saying they're just like their The Body Shop counterparts? I wanted some ages ago but they sold out very fast and were only available online for silly prices so I left it. I had some time to kill while waiting for a bus in town the other day so I popped into Savers and there they were for 99p, so I stocked up! I'll report back on a comparison!


    XHC Conditioner 400ml - Banana x 2
    XHC Conditioner 400ml - Ginger x 2
    XHC Conditioner 400ml - Strawberry
    XHC Shampoo 400ml - Banana x 3
    XHC Shampoo 400ml - Ginger x 2
    XHC Shampoo 400ml - Strawberry

    Other INs

    Beauty Pie Awesome Bronze Shea Butter Body Tint 100ml - to try to bring some colour to my legs!
    Beauty Pie One Powder Wonder Invisible Powder 8g
    Beauty Pie Super Healthy Hair Moisturizing Conditioner 300ml & Shampoo 300ml - ordered pre-Savers find!
    Dr Organic Charcoal Toothpaste 20ml
    Superdrug Charcoal Toothpaste Normal 75ml x 2 - HG, last tube finished today so well-timed!

    One UU from last night:

    Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant sample WPB as a full size. This was lovely. I'm not generally a fan of physical skin exfoliation, but this was just what my skin needed. My skin feels lovely and smooth this morning :)

    It seemed ok yesterday, so I've done the same today.

    Two UUs this evening:

    The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml WDBA and have done. My favourite Cleanser. Great to remove SPF and the day's grime. Love the scent as well.

    Weleda Calendula Face Cream 50ml WPNBA. This was nice but I won't be buying it again. A bit too rich for my skin. But it has a gorgeous scent though.

    I love this one too - how do you know your cleanser removes SPF too?

    Listed a perfume gift seft on eBay and currently there is a bid on it so hopefully will be one more out.
