    Liz Earle Skin Repair 50ml - I have always liked this but probably WNBA due to the plastic pot, I do have a 15ml tube left in the stash to use later.

    Decleor Purifying Night Balm 100ml - this is a salon size which I got for a reasonable price I assume as this is very expensive for a standard sized pot.  I really liked this, it lasted for a very long time, smelt lovely and didn't break me out which I don't suppose it should as it is supposed to help congested skin, it's in a nice glass jar so I will hang onto that for decanting other things into.

    September PP List

    Le Soft Stick Perfume - b/f from August (still not using this)
    Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Body Lotion 500ml - b/f from August
    Anatomicals Rose & Jasmine Shower Gel 300ml
    Sanctuary White Lily & Damask Rose Shower Gel 250ml
    Sanctuary White Lily & Damask Rose Body Lotion 250ml
    Lyons Leaf Beauty Balm 60ml
    Decleor Ylang Ylang Night Purifying Balm 100ml
    Liz Earle Skin Repair 50ml

    My 7 by Autumn
    1. Gosh Brow Kit (has 3 shades and a wax but I only use the darkest shade for brows)
    2. Burts Bees Lip Shimmer - Strawberry
    3. Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain in Lovesick
    4. Barbara Daly Trade Secrets Sheer lip melt in Adorable
    5. Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara
    6.  Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Powder Pink
    7.  Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation



    My updated lists.  I forgot that I finished the Le Soft perfume stick yesterday, well sort of, there was a bit left but I wasn't enjoying the scent at all so I got rid, it was just a really, really sweet scent but not of anything in particular and sort of sickly really.

    There is only a couple more days with the 7 by Autumn items so there will be no change with them.  The brow kit has major pan on the one shade I use so I will carry on with it, despite using the Revlon stain loads I've hardly made an impact and it is a bit bright for autumn for me, I will carry on with the other two lip products though.  The blush has loads of pan but it never seems to get bigger.  I will do a 7 by Christmas list soon.

    I love this too but the packaging is so annoying. Screw that tin together badly and you’re stuffed. One job I need to do today is tidy my stash. Our shared pot of TBS is coming to an end and i’ve lost track of what cleansers I have.

    I’ve fallen back in love with LE Skin Repair but do need to mix it with a serum/oil to get good results. At the moment I’m using The Ordinary Rosehip oil.

    i think Decleor have discontinued the Herbal Clay mask. Still looking for a good cheaper alternative. If anyone knows of a good clay mask let me know.

    Thanks for the new thread steveo.

    Update Finish 7 by Autumn update
    NARS Gilda - DONE
    Smashbox matte eyeshadow - DONE
    Liz Earle No 9 Botanical Essence fragrance - DONE
    Kat von D lip lacquer in Lovecraft.  Need to plug away at this again.
    Colourpop Birthday Cake.  Pan has expanded again this week.  Not sure that it will be done by the end of the challenge though.
    Laura Geller Gilded Honey Highlighter - still working on it. Still looks the same. 
    Bare Minerals Love lipstick - it's hard to use this now that Gilda is done.  Will try to rotate it in once a week.




    Update Finish 7 by Autumn above.  There will be no more movement I’m afraid. I will carry the lip lacquer, eyeshadow and highlighter over but not the lipstick. Will think of four more items for the Finish 7 by Christmas.

    FinaLly, a UU - Bare Minerals Mineral Veil. I liked the pinky colour of this but find loose powder too messy. If I was given a pot I would use it. Have ordered a new Hourglass Dim Light powder. Had a gift card so saved £20 on it. Did order a Rituals shower gel to qualify for free shipping and will put this away for Emma for Christmas.

    Drumroll please - I have hit pan finally in my Outlaw blush from the Killing Me Softly palette. Will add it to challenge above. It needs to be totally panned by Christmas.

    Valm, Beauty Bay sells a brand called Revolution Skincare and they have good masks and costs around £8.

    I have a couple of UUs to report:
    The Cure Collagen Sheet Mask - Bought this from TKMaxx in a pack of 5 a while back and it is ok. I'm not going to buy sheet masks anymore so WNBA.
    Botanics Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm: This cleans make-up very well and very good value for money. However, it doesn't feel very luxurious on the skin and I find it a bit thick. WMBA if I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. 
    Clarins Hand Cream: Cut this open earlier in the month and I love the product itself. I just have too many hand creams in my stash so WNBA anytime soon.
    Indeed 10 Balm: This was from an LF beauty box and it has an amazing texture. It is for sensitive skin which I don't have but I feel it is very gentle and worth a try if suits your skin type.
    Clinique Take The Day Off Make Up Cleanser Lashes, Lips, Lids: Take the Day off Balm is one of my favourites and this is also a very effective product but I don't need a separate cleanser for eye/lips. I buy this if it is a GWP or if there is an offer like 3 for 2 and it lasts for a long time but I avoid plastic where I can so WNBA.

    I still have a lot of products and it is a bit depressing after actively not buying and using up/giving away/selling what I have. However, I'm on the right direction and my stash is definitely more manageable.

    Apparently, Liz Earle have changed the formula and packaging for Skin Repair https://uk.lizearle.com/category/Skincare/MOISTURISERS
     Anyone still after the orginal formula can still get some (at the moment) from QVC https://www.qvcuk.com/Liz-Earle-Skin-Repair-Trio.product.242725.html?sc=PSCH
