Lacura 100% Naturally Derived hand cream - feeling very light.  Will be cut open soon.

Bath & Body Workd Pumpkin Cupcake handwash - will be done today, I think

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish

Hutygens cleanaser - tube cut open

The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum

As mentioned earlier the handwash is done.  I loved this fragrance as it did smell like cupcake.  Have a Merry Christmas Cookie to open next.  Whilst I really like the Bath & Body Works range I'm likely to switch to the Method handwashes (we have one in the kitchen) for now as the stock in the UK of B&BW is, understandably low and at a premium now. 

Have rolled in my Vitamin C Serum.

I have done some more decluttering.

MAC Cool Neutral Palette - this is going to a friend but I will tell her it is not good and not to feel guilty about it.  The quality is nowhere near their singles.

Smashbox Sparks Palette - I have had this ages and have used one colour a fair bit but I'm just not keen anymore.  DD has taken this one to try.

Duwop Private Cherry mini lipstick - this came as part of a trio of minis, they are supposed to adjust colour after a few minutes according to your PH, if they do it is lost on me.  This one is a very bright cherry red and just too smudgy, matte and high maintenance for me, plus the colour is not that flattering on me.   It is going to my friend.  I have kept the Cherry Noir one of the set which is a dark berry and the Red one which is more of a classic red as the colours suit me more and I will give them a proper go in Autumn.

Avon Glimmerstick in Black Ice - excellent product but black eyeliner is not a good look on me.

Avon Glimmerstick in Blackberry - too intense for me, not soft and smoky enough, again an excellent product if it does suit you.

I have a couple more eyeliners to try out this week, I know they are good products but whether they suit me is a different question.

Rimmel Hide The Blemish - this was bought for DD originally but it was too dark even though it was the lightest one.  I used to use this as a teenager and I still find it a good product.  I have replaced it with a Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer.

I have dug out another eyeshadow palette for this month - Smashbox Double Exposure (I think it is or it might be Full Exposure).

ETA - looking online it seems to be Full Exposure, glitters on the top and mattes on the bottom, can't be bothered going upstairs to check.  I do know that I am not a fan of the glitters especially not dry.

i don’t get overnight face masks. It was a nice night cream not nice enough to repurchase. Too expensive to just be nice. Have another mask of this type in stash. Not getting out yet, though.
the cleanser was ok. Didn’t dry my skin out. Awful if you get near your eyes. Have two cleansers in stash.

Rolling in
Elemus ProCollagen Super Serum Elixir- feels very light
The Ordinary Rose hip oil. Probably last to the end of the month.

Wow Hide the Blemish is a blast from the past. Didn’t it used to look like a chapstick. 
Smashbox Full Exposure is my oldest palette that I have been panning since January 2019. I love the shimmers except the dark grey one although I wore it as eyeliner today.  Here’s what mine looks like.

Wow VALM you are making good progress there, it must feel like you'll be using it forever.  Mine looks almost new, you can tell I've used it but hardly, I used it yesterday and was pleased with how it looked, it was subtle as I don't find the lighter colours that pigmented.  If you look at your photo above I used the first shadow on the bottom row in the crease and the third one all over the lid then I topped it with the third glitter in on the top row (looks like you've panned that one), I used Fix+ on my brush though as I just can't use them dry, even though the glitter is gold it isn't too red toned or bronzey gold for me so it looked pretty.

Hide The Blemish is still like a chapstick, works really well though just drawn on and blended out or applied with a brush.

4 more UUs today:
No 4-5-6 were all either from a beauty box or an advent calendar. None of them particularly amazing.
Keeping up with my use of 30 products in June challenge
1. Revolution Face Powder
2. Formula Radiant Cleanse Gentle Exfoliating Polish
3. Listerine Spear mouthwash
4. Nuxe 48hr moisturising cream 15 ml 
5. Erno Laszlo - Lift Essence Lotion 10ml
6. Clarins Instant Eye Reviver mini 

VALM - it is a great colour but I find Essie chipping very quickly so a bit annoying!

Sounds lovely.  I use the third from the left (which does have pan now) as a transition colour with a Bare Minerals loose shadow called Queen Tiffany today.  Looks lovely, even if I do say so myself.

Everything chips easily on me as I type all day. Have just repainted my nails at lunch time and am wearing OPI Malibu Pier Pressure.
