    uu

    Maldon Soap Co Rose Argan Face Cream 60g - love this and have already bought a replacement.  It actually smells of lavender rather than rose, initially I thought it wasn't going to be moisturising enough as it sinks in so quickly, I use it in the morning and it works well under makeup.   DD uses it too which means we go through it quite quickly, it works well on her teenage, oily but eczema prone skin.

    7 by Autumn update


    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 DONE

    Colourpop Champagne Miami DONE

    Hourglass Edit 4 collectively to hit pan

    Rituals handcream 

    Essie cuticle scrub


    UU today: Benefit Hoola.  I've come to realise that I need a bronzer that is more red toned.  This one tends to look muddy on me.  I looked in my stash for a replacement today as the sun is still shining so may as well still bronze up and I only actually have one bronzer.  I have blushers that can be used as bronzer and a Physicians Formula bronzer/highlighter hybrid.  The one bronzer I have is a small tub of Bare Minerals Faux Tan loose powder which I'll try next.  I would think that I'll be likely to put it away again rather than be able to finish it before Summer ends.  I have finished 3 bronzers this year : Hourglass (from the Edit 4 palette), Bare Minerals Warmth (pressed version) and the Hoola one mentioned above.  BM Warmth is my favourite and I will repurchase this eventually. 


    Also UU : OPI mini lacquer called Berlin There Done That.  I am definitely over the greige trend of yesteryear.  Have pulled another mini out of the stash to pan called Arose at Dawn, Broke by Noon. 


    I threw away an eyeshadow palette yesterday - Stila Into the Light.  I have so many duplicates of the colours in there and it is old as I inherited from Emma.  I've decided that I'm only now going to pan a taupe coloured matte shade and a light silver shimmer shade from my Smashbox Full Exposure palette and then that is done.  This will leave 2 x brown colours, 1 black (all matte) and one dark silver shimmer shade unpanned.  Again, I have so many similar colours and don't use black eyeshadow.


    Of those items still in the Project above I hope to finish the MAC Live the Genie Life eyeshadow (wearing today) but know that I am neglecting the other items.

    And some INS.  My Colourpop Mystery Box arrived.  All in all, pleased with the contents.  I gave Emma a mini Animal Crossing eyeshadow quad, bottle of SOL dry oil (very glittery).  I also got a super shock eyeshadow (dark brown shimmer), cream eyeshadow (terracotta colour), lippie stix (terracotta colour), lip liner (light brown), body milk, lip gloss (shimmery peach) and a felt tip eye liner (maybe the only naff item as it's a weird cream colour).  

    Wearing the eye colours and lippie today.  Very autumnal.

    I did order some other super shock eyeshadows and a lip gloss but these must be coming separately.

    My second Colourpop order arrived yesterday. 5. new (although one was a replacement)  Supershock shadows and a replacement lip gloss IN.

    Took a bath last night and applied LUSH Beauty Sleep mask. Got a sample to try. So pleased that my sense of smell is back as it smells divine. Not a fan of the scrubby texture though.

    Thanks for the new thread pfb

    Hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather. I haven't been as active as I've had a crazy summer dealing with potential redundancy during peak work activity. Luckily, I've managed to keep my job on a 2-year fixed contract, which will kinda help me to focus on achieving my financial and professional goals. I haven't been buying as much as I used to and most products are now lhjs, so pleased with that. 

    Ins:
    5 x lip scrubs from Give me cosmetics
