    I’m throwing away a Colourpop lip lacquer in the colour Lucky Nights. I just can’t make the formula work for me. It bleeds everywhere no matter how much I boot it and then pills up on my lips. Very uncomfortable and because I have fairly thin lips I end up looking like Robert Smith from the Cure when it bleeds. Shame.

  • Hi everyone, hope you're having a good month.

    UU
    Imperial Leather Orange Blossom & Argan Oil bubble bath - WBA. Doesnt really smell of orange blossom though.
    No7 Beautiful Skin cleansing balm 125g - WBA but not at RRP. Nice no-fuss 1st cleanse, removes makeup pretty well. 4 in stash as I offer-stacked in Boots and got them for around £4 each.
    Unidentified Molton Brown Christmas bauble 75ml - WNB, nice gift though
    Bareminerals Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion serum 7.5ml - Nice wet-feeling serum which I like, very hydrating but not sure it did much else. WPNBA

    TA
    TO Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% - gone off

    Finally a UU!

    Mustela Hydra Bebe Facial Creme 5ml sample WNB. This was alright but the scent is odd. Hm.
  • Managed to use up a few things yesterday.

    UU
    Star Wars Body Wash (150ml)
    Arran Aromatics Rosemary, Sage and Vitamin E rejuvenating bath soak (300ml)
    HycoSan extra eye drops
    Amie Morning Clear Purifying Face wash (150ml)
    Secret Life of Pets Shower Gel (75ml)
    Don't need any other shower gel/bubble bath/face wash at the moment and now get eye drops on prescription.

    I also did a PYTNTh and used a nice grey Jack Wills varnish that I'd never used before (got it for a gift last Christmas). I like the colour and it has gone on well for only one application.

    IN
    I had a trip to the Drug of Super this morning as we need general household toothpaste and Mr Radio wanted family shower gel. (My S&G body cream is too girly and too good for the kids to use).
    Got a few things at good prices while I was there:

    Lemon and Tea Tree Shower Gel
    Dragonfruit and Vanilla Shower gel, both 250ml, 2 for £1.50 (Might still be too girly for him, but will be used).

    2 x Mitchum APD spray, one unscented, one no white marks. These were half price and Mr Radio also likes the unscented one, which can sometimes be hard to find on offer.

    2 x 75ml Nivea Soft moisturiser- HG that I use every day. It was £1 and was on a BOGOF, so worked out at only 50p per tube. You can't get this any cheaper than that.

    I was good though, I was looking at vitamin C serums and toners, but walked away as I still have stuff to use up and I'm sure there will be some lovely things in my H & B beauty advent calendar.

    I also did get Colgate deep clean whitening toothpaste for the house in£stretcher (it was dearer in SD), but this is in my general household category. (I don't include standard toothpaste, handwash, sanitary products, baby wipes etc in my totals, as these are used up then replaced. If I buy speciality versions for me to try, I do include them in my totals)

    I'm half way to my Christmas challenge, so feeling quite good even though I bought few things this morning.

    Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden - I wanted the original one but Debenhams didn't do it so I don't know if it is still available. This one is very similar though.


    Two shampoo bars from the Yorkshire Soap Co, we are using one and finding it works really well so I got another the same plus a different one to try too.
