Last UU for the month:
Superdrug artiscent Spring fleur EDP : WNBA, supposed to be a dupe for a Chloe perfumr but is very weak, re-purposed as a bathroom spray.
Ins:
These were mindless browsing in-town purchases that I will have to be careful of now that the world is opening up. Will try harder to avoid more purchases for the rest of the year.
3 x Primark gel effect nude colours
Superdrug brunette wash in colour conditioner

Hello everyone and hope you will have a great bank holiday weekend.
I have UU'ed Beauty Pie SPF 25 - I can stay this is a HG as it doesn't break me out and sits well under make up. I have more in stash but i might try couple of other brands this summer.
Also UU No7 HydraLuminous Moisturising Foundation - This is also a HG and perfect value for money as it is often on 3for2 offer. It isn't too heavy, works well on my dry skin.
I visited the local Boots store and they expanded their brand offering. They have now Ordinary in store so I purchased Coffee Solution and Glycolic Toner so that's 2 INs.ally.3 -

IC fantasia anti frizz serum - WNBA, better products on the market.

Will work on using more make-up and nail polish during the summer.2 -
