The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum DONE.  Love this.  Have taken the last from my stash. These take roughly 2 months to use so shouldn't need to repurchase until August.

Also UU another Replica sample called By the Fireplace.  Was OK.

UU Skinsense Day Cream.  I have two more of these in my stash.  Haven't gauged how long they take to use up. 

Both the packaging on the Skin Repair and Eye Cream are squishy but that doesn't mean anything really!  I think the only thing that I can say will probably be finished will be the shower gel.

I finished an elvive shampoo and a second bottle in the gym bag will most likely finish soon.

Finish 7 by Summer update:-

Smashbox Full Exposure matte brown shadow.  This is now depotted and is being used loosely.  Hope to finish it by the end of this challenge.

Laura Geller lipstick Kiss - goal to keep in rotation and use at least twice a week.

Bare Minerals Heart loose eyeshadow - ditto

Hourglass highlighter from the Edit 4 palett - goal to hit pan.

No movement really on any of these.  Must try harder.

UU Smashbox Full Exposure matte brown shadow.  Have been wearing it all week. Finished today by using as a bronzer also. 

6 shadows left in this palette.

Another UU sample sized tube of L'Occitane foot balm.  Used on both feet and hands.  Was more greasy than the cream.  I don't buy from L'Occitane any more.  Received this as a gift.

Hello all, hope you are well and enjoying the nice weather. I found out last week I'm facing redundancy, so wasn't in very high spirits but all is well otherwise. Not a lot to report - not bought or UU'ed anything. Put two products on eBay to sell though.

Sorry to hear! I had similar news in April. I try not to dwell on it too much with fun distractions and am hopeful all be fine.

On that note, I was distracted by Asda's recent perfume sale so naughty step for me:

Ins:
Calvin Klein Escape & Eternity edp
Stella McCartney Pop edp
Katy Perry Indi edp
 
I will stop buying cheapy house scents to curb my stash. Still have spluttering LHJs that refuse to finish at the mo.

Asajj sorry to hear about your job. 

3 UUs yesterday and today. 

Rituals Sakura handwash. Was lovely. Came as part of a kit and probably will be the only way I’ll purchase this. Tipped the last into my bath yesterday. Replaced with Bath and Body Works handwash.

Bath and Body Works Pink Champagne shower gel. Tipped the last of this into my bath. WNB this fragrance again out of choice. Wasn’t offensive, just meh,

LUSH Cup o Coffee scrub. I think  my love affair with this is over. I don’t body scrub much anymore and have found an alternative face mask.

GA Replica sample of At the Barber’s. Gave this to male friend at work as it smelt too masculine on me. I am now using Beach Walk which is lovely but reminiscent of My Burberry which I own.

asajj I hope you find a new role that you enjoy and suits you. It is very hard having to make a change. 

I have been busy decluttering the house and albeit a few items of cosmetics. I only purchased a half-price Cetaphil face wash earlier in the month. Things are going slowly down but I can see spaces - the absence of stuff is freeing. 

It took years to realize that the buying of cosmetics was a balm - it never really solved much other than cluttering. I really to keep using things up but hopefully, really limit what comes into things I truly adore. I am hoping my cosmetics will be like fruit - use it up when fresh and get more when i run out.
