  • Just checking in to say I have no IN's so far this month, pleased with myself but also no progress on anything else since my last update...

    One UU this morning, at last:

    A. Florence Super Serum 10ml WPNBA. This was a lovely serum, I just don't think my skin gets on with any Vitamin C serums that I've tried so far. I used this up on my neck, because I don't know if the Vitamin C or the Olive Squalane in it was causing my face to be a bit congested. Very gentle though. The brand is great as well.
  • My PP will focus on make up this month. I’m off work for a few weeks with family visiting and there will be lots of photos taken. I’ll be focusing on anything I don’t / don’t often wear to work:

    1 concealer
    1 contour kit
    2 blushers
    4 liquid/cream eye shadows
    4 kohl eyeliners
    Brow highlighter
    3 red lipsticks
    3 wedding/honeymoon lipsticks (why let them go bad saving them for special occasions?!)
    1 lipgloss

    Haven’t been using these consistently enough, but have decided to TA the Benefit brow highlighter.

    Some INs to declare, we are going on holiday on Monday and I don't have time or the brain space to do these properly, so from memory...

    XHC Banana Bodywash x 2, Green Tea Shampoo & Conditioner (TBS dupes)
    Elizabeth Arden VitC capsules (NBI from Boots Review Panel)
    3 x Nivea Cherry Lip Balm (an HG, reduced, on 3 for 2 and you got the gift below)
    Superdrug skincare free gift of glycolic toner, cleansing balm and cloth
    3 x L'Oreal True Match Powder x 3, various shades

    That's all from me folks, see you in October! :beer:

    Two INs from this morning:

    Noreva Sensidiane Soothing Micellar Lotion 500ml
    SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml


    Some essentials. Not too bad on the INs front this month. Going to use my Body Shop £5 voucher on two items before it expires today. So I'll have two more INs next week as well.

    My Finish 7 by Autumn list.


    1. [STRIKE]Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation (b/f from the last project)[/STRIKE]
    2. Seventeen Miracle Matte Powder
    3. [STRIKE]Lancome mini mascara[/STRIKE]
    4. [STRIKE]Soap & Glory mini lip crayon[/STRIKE]
    5. Benefit Champagne Pink Eyeshadow (b/f from the last project)
    6. The Balm Down Boy Blush - would like to hit pan (b/f from last project.
    7. Mini Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow in Taupe


    This project ends tomorrow. The foundation has one or two uses left in it so I will finish that off but will call it done for the purpose of this challenge. I've used the powder but I can't use much as it comes off dark on the skin. Despite using the two eyeshadows a few times a week for the whole 3 months they look exactly the same and there is barely a dip in the blush which again has been well used but it is very pigmented so I don't swirl the brush too much.


    I will do a 7 by Christmas challenge starting in the next few days.

    One IN from yesterday:

    Garnier Moisture Bomb Eye Tissue Mask Hyaluronic Acid and Orange Juice 6g

    I was in Superdrug getting some Cold and Flu tablets and I saw this at the tills and got one. I like this masks and I'm feeling a bit crap so this is a treat for me.

    One UU from this afternoon:

    Solait Sensitive Face Fluid SPF50 50ml WNBA. This was too rich to use on my face, so I used it on my neck and decolletage. Probably more suited to drier skin types, not bad for a very budget friendly SPF.

    Another UU this afternoon:

    Lush Sunrise 100g WMBA if it was available. This was a nice soap, a decent scent. Replaced with the last bar of soap in my stash.

    Hi all, back from NYC and had a fantastic time. Proud to say, I havent purchased anything apart from 3 x Differin Gel 45g as they are not available in the UK.

    I have UU'ed couple of things while away:

    Nip Fab Daily Glycolic Pads - have more in the stash. Great for travelling as I don't have to carry toner.
    Skin Chemist Facial Repair Aqua Serum 30 ml - Loved the scent and texture. I think no longer available.
    Murad Vitamin C Cleanser 45 ml - Perfectly reliable Vitamin C cleaners. WMBA if it is on offer. This was a GWP. Great value for money as one drop goes a long way but unfortunately has microbeads in it.
    Mon Guerlain Perfume Sample - Love this scent. WMB full size one day.
    Prada Iris Cedre Perfume Sample - Strange scent, probably WNB full size.
    L'homme Lacoste Perfume Sample (GA)
    January Labs Body Lotion - loved this and used also as a hand cream eventually. I think this was from Caroline Hirons cult beauty box. Unlikely to pay £21 for a body lotion so WPNBA.
    ally.
