    Few UUs for me
    Mitchum 48hr deodorant - like this roll on and wba
    Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm 3ml - have a larger size to use
    Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation in 5.0, 12ml - shade too dark for me but good practice for wearing make up again.
    MUA Brow Define in mid brown - wnba as too light for my brows
    Collection volumising mascara in ultra black - WMBA not too keen on the brush
    NYX mascara in Julep - WMBA liked the brush but not too sure on shade.

    Would like to join you on the 7 by summer challenge so need to check what I want to pan first.

    I have so many problems with mascara. I have very short lashes and need a brush like Benefit Bad Gal Bang as it is thin. I’ve just bought 3 mini Tarte mascaras from Facebook in the hope that one of them will be a good dupe. I’m using an Elf one now but the brush is too bristly.

    TA

    MAC Powersurge Eyeliner - this pains me, the colour is gorgeous drawn on the back of my hand but the pencil is hard and it takes a lot of effort to get it to show up on my eyes and then after a couple of hours it has disappeared apart from a couple of dots.  The worst of it is I liked the colour so much I bought two of them, back in the day when I used to do stupid things like that.  I really don't rate MAC makeup, I think it is average, overhyped and expensive.

    More sample UUs for me today.

    Urban Decay deslick powder - have the full size but just want rid of samples
    Urban Decay pore perfecting primer - WMBA but will look out for other products that are cheaper
    Urban Decay Naked Sin foundation in 3.5 - WMB, shade much better for me and a nice constintancy.  May have a couple more samples otherwise I only have powder foundation.

    I have also decided to do a 21 in 2021 challenge.  Some of the products I have had for a while but with little use so really it’s a push for me to use them up.  If anyone is interested I am happy to list otherwise I will keep as a personal project so as not to bore you all.

    Take care all

    I am attempting to finish 21 in 2021 although I haven't pre-selected all my products.  I'm rotating stock in and then keeping in use once panned.  I'm not including staples like foundation, primer and concealer but am counting powder products and fragrance.  Would love to see your list.  I'll have a look at my notes later as to what I've finished already.

    uu

    Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - used this up as foundation, it is a bit oily for that purpose for me but I made it work by not using too much.  I doubt I would buy this again (I think DD passed it to me though) as I prefer a pot or stick concealer.

    My cleanse and polish has been spluttering for a few days now so was feeling rather relieved that it would be finished any day.  Just cut it open as the tube had split and I have more than a couple of days left😱 😱.  Oh well just keep on plodding and hopefully it will be gone by the end of the month.

     My 21 in 2021 PP

    I am cheating here as the first 7 items are my 7 by summer products.  I have 5 eyeshadow palettes all of which are Urban Decay, no singles and too many eye pencils.  You will see a pattern here as when I deceided to start wearing make-up again after many years absence I got most of my items from the one place therefore majority of 1 brand.

     No 7 Beautiful skin eye make up remover
     Mac prep and prime
     Urban Decay eye pencil in perversion
     Urban Decay lip pencil in naked 2
     Urban Decay lip gloss in liar
     Maybellaine the erase eye
     Urban Decay Naked Flused in strip
     MUA brow define in dark brown
     No. 7 lip gloss in unknown shade
     Bare Minerals foundation in fairly light
     Bare Minerals all over in warmth
     Bare Minerals mineral veil in original
     Bare Minerals foundation primer
     Urban Decay eye pencil in mildew
     Urban Decay eye pencil in muse
     Urban Decay lip pencil in venom
     Urban Decay lip gloss in big bang
     Urban Decay eye shadow in gunmetal
     Urban Decay eye shadow in foxy
     Urban Decay eye shadow in savage
     Urban Decay in fastball

    Here’s hoping that I will manage to complete it all and some.
