• Benefit Cha Cha lip & cheek tint:  HG- I LOVE this peachy tint and have been living off fumes for weeks, as I didn't want it to end!!  I have two other tints (red/pink based though) that I don't love and should use before I repurchase, so I was really scraping the barrel with this one for weeks getting every last bit.  I can't actually live without this very long, so I might plan to repurchase in March- gives me time to use up the other ones a bit and is also restrained and not jumping to immediately replace.  This sounds like progress to me.

Yay, I'd say that's progress as you've taken stock of what you already have.  Keep posting. xx

UU:  The Body Shop Shea Body Butter.  My daughter got this and another tub from TKMaxx for me for £5.00 (it's a 200g pot).  I'd forgotten how lovely this product is.  Have another one in the stash (as I got her to buy 2 for me).

Thanks @VALM it definitely feels like I'm getting somewhere.  I know really I should wait till ALL liptints r gone, but holding off till March to repurchase is a start, esp when its January and money is so tight and the month is never ending!!!

I have a flurry of UUs today:-

Revolution Skincare Cleanser with Niacinamide.  My new HG.  Have replacement in stash.

Essie cuticle scrub.  Lap of honour for this one.  How long as this been in various PP lists?  WNBA as I have a Nip & Fab body scrub which I'll use for this purpose although the Essie one is good.

Elf Hydrating Camo Concealer.  I liked the original one and I do prefer this formula but the colours were not the same.  I'vebought anotehr in the next shade down hoping it's a better match. 

Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue.  HG.  Replacement in stash.

Two UUs

• Nivea Shine lipbalm- the peachy one: WDBA, infact I had one ready to go.  It's great for when you're out and about and don't want to dip your fingers into a lipbalm pot (anyone else a germ-phobe now?    )  It has a nice v slight tint to it which I like.  I used this one up to the bitter end, like scraping out the barrel, cos got to be thrifty as well as using things up!

• I'm From- Rice Toner: is meant to be hydrating and brightening.  I'm not sure I'd buy this again, I can't work out if I like it.  At first I did, and then I wasn't sure if it was irritating my skin a bit so I stopped using it for a while.  Started again to use it up as I was 3/4 through it.  Typically I have another one in my stash already from my 'I like it' phase, but going to try a different one for now.  

I'm excited, I'm like 'oooooooh which toner shall I try next???'  I like a couple of toners on the go, so currently I always use my COSRX Centella water spritz first, and then use another one. I do have a COSRX Propolis toner open... but I enjoy alternating that and another one depending on what my skin is doing.  maaaaaaaaaaaybe my Isntree Green Tea Fresh toner, as my skins a little spotty right now- just one or two mind not a whole face of acne, but who doesn't love both fine lines AND spots?

Morning all.  Does anyone have any recommendations for a good bath bomb retailer?  Looking for a cheaper alternative to LUSH.

I love TBS Bath Bubbles, especially Moringa.

UU - The Beauty Pie SPF 25. HG. Only SPF that doesn't break me out.

I also sold 2 eye pencils on Vinted

Thanks for this asajj.  I will try these at some time howeve it was cheaper to order some from Etsy as they were on sale and the p&p was cheaper.

UU : Tesco acetone nail polish remover.  Replacement purchased.

I think I'm going to throw away the lacquer I'm wearing today which is OPI Thank Glogg it's Friday.  Didn't apply well.  Think it's probably just gotten old.

There are often nice bath products on Etsy! Hope you enjoy your purchase.

I have UU'ed Pixi Mud Glow Cleanser. HG.I really love this cleanser and WBA but at the moment I have a few cleansers on the go and want to finish them first.

I am about to UU L'oreal Pure Clay Glow Mask. I really love this and have another one in the stash. There is an offer on Superdrug on these so I might stock up.

I put a reminder on my phone to mask at least bi-weekly as I have a lot of masks and don't get to use them.

Asajj the Bath bombs are lovely, very moisturising.

UU The Inkey List vitamin c serum.  HG. Replacement in stash.

UU Bath & Body Works Twisted Peppermint handwash. A favourite fragrance of mine. Replaced with Winter Candy Apple 

London_baby

1 x Altruist hyaluronic acid cream
Invida hair botox - Think it works, time will tell.

Took all my makeup n skincare off off my dresser, cleaned it, reorganised it, got rid of a few bits that were ancient- it looks so good now.  I even ordered my eye-makeup by colour on its tray so it's now a gorgeous rainbow of eyeshadow!  In doing all that I was able to reduce the size of the box holding my skincare, and got rid of 1 of the tins I had half my eyeshadows in (I did not get rid of half my eyeshadows, just rejigged. Did get rid of 2 though!)

Binned

• 3 x ancient face oils (rosehip, jojoba and pomegranate)
• tube of VO5 hot oil.... bought a hundred years ago
• ancient Sure roller deodorant
• 2 x red nail polishes- one was goopy and really I don’t like red nail polish on me.  love it on other people, but doesn't suit me.
• 2 x pink non-eyeshadows- so pale they literally just look like my skin, really pointless "colours" I am never going to use.

No more 'used up's yet, but I'm working on it!

UU Bare Minerals Loose Foundation in Fairly Light. Emma decluttered quite a few Bare Minerals loose powders last year.  This is the last one I had to work through. It’s given me some breathing space on the Bare Minerals pressed Mineral Veil that has significant pan in and didn’t seem to be in stock anywhere. I think Bare Minerals have restocked so once I get paid tomorrow I will re-order.
