    - Champneys Citrus Blush Shower Gel

    I am very low on some of the products in my PP list so I’m hoping to have several use ups within the next week or so.

    My plan for February is to go back through my toiletries and sort out any bits that I don’t think I’m ever going to use, with the intention of either trying to sell these, throw away or donate them.

    Am also planning to try out my Sensationail gel nail varnish stuff this month so I can start using some of my varnishes and related products.

    I am not intending to buy any toiletries this month.

    Had an OK February - a few UUs (the crossed out items above) but have been off work so not used some items that I expected to finish off. Sorted out 4 or 5 items that I don’t think I’ll use to sell in boot fair. I had no INs.

    Finish 7 by Spring Challenge

    Too Faced Rich Girl
    MAC Dare You lipstick
    NARS Gilda Blush
    NARS Outlaw Blush
    Rollin In Dough from Chocolate Gold palette
    Stila Bubbly from In The Light palette
    Hourglass bronzer from the Edit 4 palette
    i have completely panned Too Faced Rich Girl from the Chocolate Gold palette. Whilst I have also expanded the pan in Rollin In Dough I haven’t made much progress with the other items. Have decided I won’t roll them over to the next challenge either.

    Finish 7 by Spring Challenge

    Too Faced Rich Girl - DONE
    MAC Dare You lipstick
    NARS Gilda Blush
    NARS Outlaw Blush
    Rollin In Dough from Chocolate Gold palette
    Stila Bubbly from In The Light palette - DONE
    Hourglass bronzer from the Edit 4 palette

    I am up for a finish 7 by Summer Challenge too.  So fed up of all the doom and gloom so yes I'm in.    Will keep the two blushers and eyeshadow in but am changing up the other items so:-

    Rollin in Dough eyeshadow
    NARS Gilda Blush
    NARS Outlaw Blush
    These three items are almost done so will lump them together as a springboard: Marc Jacobs Infamous mini lipstick, Anastasia Beverley Hills lipgloss in Weekend Barbie and Bare Minerals loose Blush called Hint
    Smashbox matte eyeshadow from Full Exposure palette
    Laura Geller Gilded Honey highlighter deluxe sample size - do have pan in this but still think it will last until Summer
    Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder in Dim Light - again I already have pan.

    This now means that when I am working from home/self isolating I'll need to wear make up which I would have done anyway I think. Try to keep something normal.
