    Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector 05, 5ml - just a little mini but still took an age to use, I'm not a huge fan of these mainly because they are not very moisturising and the doe foot applicator always smells a bit odd.  WNBA but I do unfortunately have a full size in this colour to plough through - lesson learned.

    UU Bare Minerals Original Foundation.  I have been using these up as setting powder.  Have one pot left and then will probably try the new BM pressed Mineral Veil.

    I've removed the sifter on the last pot of BM Foundation this morning.  I've ordered the pressed Mineral Veil from QVC.

    I also made some other purchases over the weekend:-

    OPI advent calendar.  I can't resist the mini bottles.  Do now prefer to try these prior to buying a full size.  I ordered this from Studio and got it for £40. rather than £60.

    I am nearly out of The Inkey List Vitamin C serum and ordered 2 of them from Boots.  This qualified me for free postage to store.  Have just collected.

    Hi all, hope all well.

    I have given away some toiletries to the homeless shelter last week. A couple of soaps, single-use shower gels, and a toothbrush. Also sold a TBS Lip Liner. So these are all out.

    I have purchased the No7 Vitamin C serum to try it out. I had a £5 off voucher and was looking for a vitamin C serum to try.

    Lacura Glycolic pads


    I have a flurry of UUs today.  First is the Ultrasun Factor 30 face cream.  Quite like this as it absorbs well and doesn't leave a white cast. 

    UU 2 - small tube of face cream from The Comfort Zone - Hydromemory cream gel.  I think this may be a new HG.  Whilst I'll use other moisturisers that I have I will ask Santa for a pot for Christmas. This small tube lasted a good while.  Long enough for me to feel a difference in my skin.

    UU3 - small tub of Bare Minerals loose Faux Tan bronzer. The last bronzer that I own although I have blushers that I can use.  May ask Santa for the Bare Minerals Warmth pressed bronzer for Christmas.

    Hello everyone and happy Friday. Hope you have a good weekend.

    I have tidied up my makeup drawers a bit and found a Karl Lagerfeld eye pencil that I tried previously and didn't like - i will put in the recycling bag and will take it to Boots when I get the change.

    Also UU'ed Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser. I like this product as it is always consistent and you know what you get - definitely will buy again in the future but I have a lot of cleansers on the go at the moment.

    I also uu'ed a TBS Almond Body Butter and this was the last of them in my stash. I have a lot of body lotions/creams to go through so I won't purchase any for a but similar to Hot Cloth Cleanser, TBS body butters always consistent and I will definitely will use them again in the future.

  • UU:

    Superdrug Vitamin C gel moisturiser - WNBA, not moisturising at all. Repurposed as hand cream as I thought continued use would lead to wrinkles. Have another one to use up. Very disappointed.

    Sugar warm sugar wax - WMBA, think formula has changed. Not as good.

    Mixa cica balm - WNBA, was alright at first but stopped being effective. Also owned by L'Oreal.

    KMS Hair texture hold spray - Was in beauty box. WNB, repurposed to remove stick marks on floor.

    Lidl mouthwash - Cheap and effective, WBA

    Ins:

    Superdrug lilac drop hair dye - 
    Fancy a different colour for winter.

    Boots sugar wax - Hope it's better than Superdrug's.

    If you don’t favour the No7 Vitamin C serum once you’ve used it I thoroughly recommend The Inkey List one.  It does have the consistency of a cream so I mix it with my day cream. Great results though.

    2 more UUS

    Elf Concealer.  Another HG.  I do however have a Winkylux sample to try next.

    Bath and Body Works Rose Champagne shea body cream.  I really did not like this and it was a chore to use.  Smelt of synthetic rose.
