Champneys As Good As New Bubble Heaven 300ml - this was a 1/2 price Boots item so I must have had it for 2 years at least, it smelt lovely and bubbled up well. Only 1 more bottle of bubble bath in the stash now and if we decide to keep our bath when we renovate the bathroom next year I will be making my own bath oils.

My updated lists. I should finish the perfume, hair mask and body lotion from my PP list this month, the others might need to be carried over.

It is the end of the Christmas challenge and I am calling the mascara done although I will carry on using it for the rest of the month.  The Pot Rouge is almost done but I only use a tiny bit so I will have to carry it over along with the other items, the Poppy King lip crayon is small and under normal circumstances would have been finished, the Barbara Daly one has hardly been touched.  I will do a 7 by spring challenge and carry them over.

The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension Cream: Hard to make a verdict. I feel my face looked brighter after regular use but I didn't like the texture or residue left on the skin after the use. I love Vitamin C in my skincare and will definitely be using it going forward but not sure if I would  buy this again easily. Given the price, it was a great value though.

I love The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum.  It's a lotion consistency and I find it applies better when mixed with my day cream.  I'd say I noticed a remarkable difference practically from the first application.

Thank you, I want to try it but couldn't find it in my local Boots. I will keep checking.

1 UU - TBS Vitamin E Hydrating Face Mist. I love this and it hydrates well. WMBA.

It does seem to sell out a lot in Boots.  I think Cult Beauty sell it too.

Finish 7 by Christmas

Kat von D lip lacquer in Lovecraft.  DONE

Laura Geller Gilded Honey Highlighter DONE
Too Faced Honey pot eyeshadow from the Natural Eyes palette DONE
Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb Midnight fragrance DONE
Colourpop Birthday Cake eyeshadow 
OPI Do You Take Lei Away lacquer 
NARS Outlaw blush 

Mine was a good Project.  The eyeshadow and blush are now being used loosely.  I did finish another eyeshadow today though - Stila Glitter n Glow in Lilac Ice.  It has dried up and I don't want to add anything to it to try and revive it.  I had used a lot of it which was difficult under the circumstances as there have not been many occasions to wear glitter.

I will only roll over the NARS blush for Finish 5 by Spring as it is so pigmented I only need a tiny bit for each application so will probably take another couple of months to finish.  Here's my list:-

NARS Outlaw blush - finish

Urban Decay Bathwater eyeshadow from the Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette (already have pan)

Smashbox Full Exposure matte brown shadow (already have pan)

Bare Minerals Warmth bronzer (sample size - came from advent calendar)

Bare Minerals Swank lip lacquer (stopper it out but it seems to want to go forever). If I finish this early, I'll rotate another lip product in.

UUs:
Soap & Glory summer scrubbin' exfoliator - WBA, lathers and exfoliates very well
Andrex toilet washlets - WMBA but seems to dry out quickly.
Ecodenta cranberry toothpaste
Superdrug Black Castor & Shea Replenish shampoo sample - WMB, leaves hair moisturised. 
Skinfood propolis & bee venom mask - Gift, moisturised nicely without a tacky residue but WNB.
Bathroom and storage area is looking better with less products, and discovering products that I thought were used up so will continue only buying replacements.

L'oreal Ever Riche Nourishing Hair Mask - this is really nice, I have one more in the stash which is the last of 6 pots.

Have walked 14 miles in the cold today with DH and DS, hot shower when I got home and am now in my pyjamas with no intention of leaving the house again. 

Merry Christmas everyone - I hope you all manage to make the best of whatever circumstances you are in.
