Finish 7 by Autumn and will include:-

NARS Gilda - I want this totally panned.

ABH lipgloss in Sunset Strip - am scraping the sides

Smashbox matte eyeshadow - again, I want this totally panned - have attempted to repress this but it's just loose now. 

Bare Minerals Queen Tiffany loose eyeshadow - to use as much as I can.

Liz Earle No 9 Botanical Essence fragrance - DONE

Laura Geller Gilded Honey Highlighter - I want this totally panned

Bare Minerals Love lipstick - it won't get finished but want to try and use it as much as I can.

Liz Earle perfume done.  I have a back up bottle of this.  Am going to rotate in a 10ml bottle of Kat vonD Saint perfume which is half finished as it is so early in this challenge.

The Kat von D fragrance is done now.  I'm not going to rotate in any more fragrance for this Project.  Just will rotate bottles until one becomes lower than the rest then work on that.

UU OPI mini Malibu Pier Pressure.  Lovely Barbie pink but I have other Barbie pinks.  Must pull out another mini to use.

Pulled out Dreams Need Clara-Fication.  Not my usual type of colour but it looked lovely when I applied it this morning until I decided to wash some pots and it was ruined.

Three UU to kick off July:

Beauty Pie Retinol Serum. WNBA. I've cancelled my membership as I don't really like the way it is set up.
Beauty Pie Retinol Night Cream. WNBA. As above but hated the smell of this.
Aveda Cherry Almond Shampoo. WBA. Already on to my next bottle.

What was wrong with your membership? You mean the whole idea or something specific to your account? Just being curious!

One UU from last night:

The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml - WDBA and have done. Love this stuff, so gentle and effective  

I don't think I have found a better cleanser to use for make up removal.  We seem to go through a pot so quickly though.  Still using Elemis Cleansing Balm before I return to using this one. 

I find myself going back to this regularly, definitely great product.

I found that I either didn't have enough credit to buy everything I wanted or I had credit but didn't need anything. So I just felt it's not a good way for me to buy my products. Much of the stuff I tried was good but I don't want to pay monthly in the long term. 

This is what I find offputting about Beauty Pie, the monthly layout when I know I will want to shop around for products.  I don't like buying just from one brand. 

I have just ordered the SkinSense TSV from QVC because I have the overnight mask already and it is wonderful (previously, I wondered what they did but my skin feels so supple and smooth in the morning after applying this) and I want to try both the retinol eye cream and serum.

UU Unwined by Hask deep conditioner treatment

not my cup of tea, didn't really smell anything like wine, it was more like a combo of grape and pear, got a few uses out of it. WDNB

UU:

Nivea Soft Cream. WBA. Love this as a body lotion/aftersun, have ordered another already.

I finished a concealer from elf- it was ok but coverage was questionable. 

I have really started to notice the stash is really reducing. I got rid of a box that I stored make up today as it was emptying down. 
I started this challenge with a 3 drawer unit and boxes- I can see the remaining stash in 4 big make up bags and I really can see progress.

Always a good feeling, well done

Hi all
i have often read the beauty threads but haven’t had much to say.  I also ordered the QVC TSV.  I have one of their products, it is really lovely.  I was a bit hyper yesterday when I heard that the swimming pools are going to open so I bought this for the retinol body cream.  

i had a mad turn out of my beauty  products recently.  I was horrified at how many much stuff I have.  I usually get 2 beauty advent calendars (One from me, one from him indoors), last year one of the firms sent 2 lots and told me to keep the extra one.  That’s what I call money saving

Yeah, I started using it with a purpose to switch to it completely and not buy from other brands but it hasn't happened. I have an annual membership and I love their products but  I'm also buying less than before. So not sure what to do at the end of my membership.
