    Ted Baker body spray. I just don’t like body spray at all. This was given to me as a gift. I have 2 more in my stash, one of which I have left in the loo at work and use as a room spray.

    Liz Earle Skin Repair. So sad that they have changed the formula of this. Perhaps if I see a QVC kit with the new formula in as well as their cleanser and toner I’ll give it a go.i use this as night cream and for now I have an abundance of creams I can use at night.
    Oh god! I was given Ted Baker Body Spray gift set for Xmas and not used yet.

    Handcream from a small brand, the scent is milk and it is 20% shea butter, it smells and feels just like L'occitane shea handcream.

    2 x Savon de Marseilles soap bars, one in Verbena and one in Fleur d'Orange.

    These were a little treat whilst on a day out.

    MAC Live the genie life 

    Too Faced Silk Teddy - i've decided to get tid of this.  In the pan it was workable but now that I have depotted it I'm finding it too shimmery.  Have swapped in Too Faced Push up from the same palette.  To finish.

    Benefit Hoola 

    Colourpop Champagne Miami DONE

    Hourglass Edit 4 collectively to hit pan

    Rituals handcream 

    Essie cuticle scrub


    UU Perfance Green Clay Mask. I loved this but it dried pretty hard and could be uncomfortable. For now, I’m using a small tube of Elemis Payaya Peel for my mask and then think I’ll purchase again from this Etsy Seller but a different variety of Clay mask.

    UU The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm. I bought this as a replacement for Elemis Balancing Cleaser but it didn’t balance my oils. I then tried it as a first cleanser in place of The Body Shop Cleansing Butter but it wasn’t as effective. It was a nice cleanser but did not fit my needs.

    LUSH Blue Skies and fluffy clouds bubble bar. Love this one. 

    Force of Nature shampoo. This was lovely but it didn’t keep my hair clean and I had to wash my hair more regularly which is no good for colour protection so WNBA.
    UU LUSH Rose Jam bubble bar.

    when I’m fit and well I want to make a trip to LUSH as I have several pots/bottle to return.

    Philosophy Coconut Frosting Shower Gel 498ml
    I’m working my way through one of these as a bubble bath but in Pumpkin Icing fragrance. Am off work at the moment.  MRM has Covid. I think he’s over the worst of it. Left now with no sense of taste or smell. I tested positive on lateral flow test and awaiting PCR result. Feels like a bad cold hence taking more baths to ease the aches.

    ive UUed my face mask too.
    Wishing you a speedy recovery!
    Thank you. It’s been horrendous. I’ve been sick for the full 10 days. Yesterday my GP prescribed antibiotics for my chest and work have told me to stay off all this week si can take time to recover. I have fallen prey to some online retail therapy and will fess up when the goodies arrive.

    Totals for this month

    12 UUs
    8 INs

    INS comprised of 3 x cleanser. 1 being the Revolution cleanser with Niacinamde. 2 x Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish. One was bought intentionally, the other I accidentally left in my Boots basket. 
    Also bought The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum as HG replacement. The makeup that I bought was unnecessary.

    Finally doing an update on my August UUs and INs.

    First my UUs:

    The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml - WDBA and have done. One of my HGs. 

    The Body Shop Black Musk Deodorant 50ml - WNBA. The scent is nice but it does not last all day for and I was paranoid that I smelt :( 

    Oral B Satin Tape 25m - WDBA and have done. One of my everyday essentials. 

    Superdrug The Moisturising Little Blue Stick 4.8g - WDBA and have done. This is my favourite lip balm :) 

    And a few INs in August:

    The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml
    The Body Shop Aloe Calming Cream Cleanser 250ml
