    I've decided to call it a day on my Kat von D liquid lipstick in Nahz Fur Artoo.  Thankfully, I only bought the mini size but it is so uncomfortable to wear.  It's sad that I love the colour but it has become too drying. 
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    A few UUs to report:

    Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel 100g - WPBA. I love the scent of this and I like to save it for warmer months. I am a bit on the fence about Lush's morals and ethics lately. I've fallen out of love with them and I will probably only treat myself to something from Lush once in a while, not too often. 

    Bioderma Sensibio Light Moisturiser 40ml - WPNBA. I used to like this but it's made my skin feel weird. Luckily I have finished it when I noticed this, but I am glad to have my HG one back :) 

    And some INs:

    Oral B Satin Tape 25m x 6

    I was buying something on Amazon and to get free delivery I added these, as they will be used, and saves me from having to remember to buy it for the next few months  :D

    I UUed one of these small bottles of Snow Fairy which I chucked into my bath yesterday along with the rest of the SBC Salicylic acid shower wash that was in my PP list.

    UU Bourjois Ingenude eyeshadow.  I got this in an advent calender.  It was ok but once I hit pan I got hard pan and had to scrape it from its container to us it up.  It was a cream coloured shadow.  I have other cream coloured shadows to use.

    No7 Lip Crayon in Statement - there is more to the name of this but it has rubbed off so I'm not sure what it was called.  I will miss this, it is a lovely red, very glossy and glides on like a lipbalm with lots of tint and the colour lasts really well too.

    May PP List

    Peppermint Foot Cream - b/f from April
    Tresemme Perfectly Undone Condtioner - b/f from April
    Ed Hardy Original EDP 100ml - b/f from April
    Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Body Lotion 500ml
    Rose & Frankincense Skin Cream 60g - b/f from April
    Body Shop Wild Argan Shower Gel 250ml
    Elemis Sharp Shower 300ml


    My 7 by Summer list
    1.  No7 Lip Crayon in Statement
    2. Barbara Daly Trade Secrets Sheer lip melt in Adorable b/f from the last challenge
    4. Miss Sporty Stick Concealer - b/f from the last challenge
    5. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
    6. Soap & Glory nude eyeshadow from quad
    7.  Bare Minerals Eyeliner in Plum - b/f from the last challenge



    My updated lists.  I'm using all the items on the PP list except the foot cream, the C&E body lotion might not get finished this month though.  Of the Summer list, I am optimistic about the lip crayon being finished, no chance with the never ending eyeliner but the nude eyeshadow is going down well now.  I use the powder a couple of times a week at most really and haven't touched the concealer which I keep saying I will declutter as it is old.

    A few UUs and INs from the past few days to report:
    UUs first:
    A Florence Hydrating Gel to Milk Cleanser 200ml - WDBA and will do in the future 😊 This was so lovely to use and it was very gentle and hydrating as well. It is a bit pricey for a cleanser, but I used it mostly twice daily from January until May 😀

    Maui Moisture Hibiscus Water Shampoo 385ml - WDBA and have done. I really do love this shampoo, doesn't weigh my hair down, doesn't irritate my scalp and it smells absolutely divine 😀 

    And a few INs from the other day:
    Maui Moisture Hibiscus Water Shampoo 385ml
    The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml
    The Body Shop Aloe Calming Cream Cleanser 250ml
    The Body Shop Shea Body Butter 200ml
    Nivea Pearl & Beauty Deodorant 50ml

    It was so nice to be able to go out shopping and to just even have a browse of shops again 😁

    One TA as well:
    Uriage Bariesun Mineral Stick SPF50+ Fragile Areas 8g
