IN

John Frieda - Hydrate & Recharge masque
John Frieda - Frizz Ease Weightless Wonder smoothing cream 
These were treats 
Rimmel Scandaleyes Volume on Demand mascara - back up but upset to realise I picked up black/brown instead of black 

(Although not counting because it’s necessary, noting that I finished E45 cream 50g and replaced with E45 lotion w evening primrose oil 200ml, first time trying this range)

UU'ed a sheet mask today. 

Oh K! Chok Chok Illuminating Holographic Sheet Mask - this has hyaluronic acid, vitamin c and Ceramide NP and one side is black other side is..holographic! looks like you are in foil. It retails for £8 and doesn't do anything that a non-sheet mask can't do. It was from a beauty box and I find sheet masks wasteful so WNBA.

Interesting, I’m back to being WonderCollie!

Nivea Body Lotion/Milk sample.  It’s Nivea, it works.  
Two Faced sample of their eyeshadow primer.  Seems to be pretty good.  Kept the eyeshadow looking fresh and the same colour all day.  Will consider repurchasing.
My goal is to finish the samples I brought on holiday, cuts down on clutter 

VALM

UU OPI A Definite Moust Have- lovely coral colour. Was in my Project Polish. Replaced with She’s a Bad Mufeletta.

INs
Korrea Body Butter, Gym for your skin serum, Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue, Colourpop Supershock shadows Moonwalk and Lightening Bug, lipsticks Going North and Little Snow, lippie stix Cherry Bomb, John Frida shampoo, conditioner and heat protector.

Having a bit of a clear out:

GA Barry M Gelly Shine in Chai - decided after wearing it in January I didn't like this as much as a similar shade

GA & other stories Seafoam Coast - this isn't very 'me' any more/I never really liked the texture of it

TA Miss Sporty gel shine no 510 - I like this colour a lot but it has gone really gloopy sadly

TA Barry M Feature Length Black Mascara - I think this was not in my stashlist for some reason. It was the only mascara I had and it has dried up. Not sure what I will do going forward I can't remember the last time I even wore it!!

UU LUSH Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser - to be honest, I used this up quickly by using it as a body exfoliator because I really think it has gone off. I should have used it more quickly when it was fresh.

Does anyone have any recommendations of indie nail polsih brands based in the UK? I have a few in my Etsy faves but would be interested if you know any

Can't help with the nail polish.  I have a massive stash which I am using/donating/giving away etc but am not sure what I will do when I need to replace anything.

Radox Mineral Bath Salts - I like these, they smell good, are just in a box with no plastic, cost £1 and turn the water blue.

A couple of days ago I tried to remove my nail polish and after 5 minutes rubbing away at two nails it hadn't budged, there wasn't even a smudge on the cotton pad. The nail polish is three coats of Leighton Denny Butterfly Wings (used many times before without an issue) and the remover is Superdrug's own brand regular one. What is going on with remover? Is it being watered down? Can anyone recommend one that actually works?

You need to drench cotton wool in remover, place it on your nail and wrap it with kitchen foil, leave it on for a few minutes and it will slide right off! Alternatively, I bought some clip things from primark that do the same job as the kitchen foil.

I don't know if the stash is really going down at all but I'm not buying anything else new.  The last eye shadows I bought in december fell apart within 2 weeks of buying them- it is like even the make up knows that I have enough. 
I cleared out a few out of date samples but despite using loads of make up daily I have loads of spultters.
