    Hi
    I am definitely in for February 
    UU
    Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Body Cleanser
    Vintage & Co Hand Cream
    Coconut Soap
    IN
    Balmond Skin Balm x 4
    Rose Tree Rose Geranium and Ylang Ylang Body Oil

    Total = 128






    I was just yesterday looking at the Balmond products but wasn't sure whether they may cause my skin to become congested which it does at the drop of a hat but it is feeling quite dry too at the moment.  How do you get on with them?

    One UU from this morning:

    La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water 150ml - WDBA and have done. Love to use this with my favourite Hada Labo lotion. I will keep using this until I finish the Hada Labo lotion, as I won't be buying the reformulated Hada Labo lotion.

    Another item that has been given to DD to try is Bare Minerals Brightening Eye Primer, I have already used an entire 15ml tube of this in the past and got this second one out but I wasn't keen on the first tube and this one seems a bit drier in consistency, it is a gold colour which sort of dictates the eye finish and it was making my eyelids look like a gold, dry river bed.  It is a good primer in so far as my eyeshadow doesn't budge.

    Clinique High Impact Mascara - just a mini one but I do find they last a really long time, it had got quite dry and hard to apply when I used it today.  I have another one of these and several other brand new mascaras in the stash so no need to buy.

  • UUs:
    Fantasia IC heat protect - WNBA, nothing special and better products on the market.
    Primark H20 micellar face wipes - WMBA if we ever get to travel again.

    Hair is still shedding, so very pleased to have been selected for a product tester of Lee Stafford's argan hair oil.  Have also ordered Olapex no. 0 and L'oreal smart bond, that is supposed to be a dupe of no.3.
