Hope this is ok to post but I've just got a new bathroom storage unit so have organised all my products and have done a stock-take. I'm horrified by how much stuff I have!

 
Welcome! That's an impressive inventory. You must look and smell lovely

Well, the thing is that until the last few weeks and months, I barely used anything other than a face wash, shower gel and deodorant on a daily basis - hence why things have built up so much! I'm now making a massive conscious effort to get through it all, and to be honest, I'm enjoying the 'ritual', so to speak, of putting it all on. I use foot cream and body lotion now after every shower/bath, and have a multi-step skin care routine both AM and PM - perfect me time. I'm also putting on perfume just to work from home, which I've not done this entire past year.

I've a couple more UUs -

Next Define perfume 12ml - WBA - I do love this one, it's a dupe for one of my favourite perfumes Armani She, but at a friendlier price point. I don't like wearing my more expensive perfumes to the office (remember when we used to do that? Madness!) so this is a great alternative for me.

Nutmeg sea minerals & fennel 2 in 1 shower gel and shampoo 500ml - WMBA - nothing to write home about, does its job! I only used this as a shower gel rather than shampoo, but I do love the scent of this. I'm female but for my body washes I tend to prefer the scents marketed more towards men rather than anything too floral/sweet/fruity which tends to be the other options. 

Korres basil lemon body milk 40ml - WMBA -  This has a lovely scent and goes on easily without feeling greasy or sticky. It soaks in and dries quickly too.

My updated PP List for this month

E45 cream

BlabzBeuatyBar (Etsy) Coconut cuticle oil 15ml bottle.

Bath & Body Works Pink Cashmere shower gel.

Bath & Body Works Pink Cashmere shea butter cream - have cut tube open today. 

ELF Concealer

Benefit Hello Flawless foundation - getting more windows in the packaging. 

OPI The Color of Minnie

Nivea deodorant

Laura Geller Spackle - I keep thinking this is ready to go but yet .....

The Inkey List Caffeine eye cream

The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum

Barry M Wet Coat Top Coat - last few applications.

UU:  The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum.  Love this and think I have another one in my stash. 

We have two weeks left this month.  I feel that the following may be done by then:-

E45

Concealer

OPI The Color of Minnie. Wearing this today but reckon I can get one or two more applications out of the bottle.

Deodorant

The shower gel and eye cream may hang in there as I only use miniscule amounts at a time.

I called into the Yorkshire Soap Co shop yesterday and bought 4 shampoo bars, the 4 I bought last June are almost done but I think that is pretty good going for 4 people.  I really like them, I cut them into pieces and just put one piece into a soap dish in the shower.

My Nivea deoadant is now UU.  HG product so replaced likewise.

I've bought a Collection mascara this morning.  I bought three sample sized Tarte mascaras from Facebook recently and everyone of them was pretty awful.  The Lights Camera one applied ok but then seemed to wear off during the day, the Maneater one smudged under my eyes during the day and I opened The One this morning to find that the wand was the size and shape of a toilet brush that I tried to jab at my eyes to apply.

We have a trip to Whitby and York booked for the end of May.  Must call in there and treat myself.

No UUs or ins to report but thought I'd pop in to say that Boots are changing the t & c of their recycling.

From 29th April, you'll receive equivalent of £2.50 off a £10 spend, instead of receiving 500 points for 5 banked items, so bank any items before that date to receive the points!

Some more UU’s for me.

Garnier micellar water 400ml - WNBA as in my opinion it is not great for removing general make up and useless for removing eye make up.
Urban Decay lipstick foil sample in jilted - Lovely colour but WNB as I don not think they do this anymore.
Urban Decay eye shadow primper in original foil sample - WNB as have more samples and a full size already in stock.
Elemis pro-collagen overnight matrix 2ml sample - WMB as this smell lovely and my skin felt lovely in the mornings after use.

So that’s all my April PP items completed.

Elemis exotic cream moisturising mask 15ml
Elemis pro collagen advanced eye treatment 15ml
Elemis apricot toner 200ml
Chanel perfume Coco 100ml
Superdrug vitamin e body cream 475ml
Garnier micellar cleansing water 400ml
Elemis pro collagen night cream (from March)
5x samples

May have my face serum and another sample completed by the end of the month but that will be it.  Already thinking ahead to May and looking at what i can pan next.

One UU from this evening:

Heimish All Clean White Clay Foam Cleanser 30ml - WPBA but undecided. It's a nice cleanser to use when my skin is feeling a bit congested or ugh.

I'm having a bit of a sort of my stash and getting rid of anything that's been open too long. So there's a few TAs:


The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover 50ml
Lush Fairy Dust Dusting Powder
Batiste Dry Shampoo & A Hint of Colour For Blondes 200ml
Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk 50ml sample

I did not realise how long some of these have been open until I checked my list. The Fairy Dust had also started to change colour slightly, and I didn't want to risk it

A couple of UUs for me - 

Keratin Therapy Lisse Design Maintenance Conditioner 250ml - I get a keratin treatment for my hair about twice a year, and this comes with it, so WBA but only because I have to! Doesn't do anything a regular conditioner wouldn't, and it's actually pretty expensive, so wouldn't buy if it didn't come as part of my treatment package.
Face Facts Vitamin C Facial Serum 30ml - WNBA - I bought this to try when I first started my skincare routine journey. It's cheap as chips and honestly I don't feel like it did much for my skin. Certainly no noticeable difference to my skin while using this.
