    UU UU Perfance yellow clay face mask. These are from an Etsy Seller.  MRM bought me a gift set of 4x mini pots for Christmas. I think I prefer this to the green clay variety that I used previously. I think this is my final UU for the month though my spf feels very light. 

    Going to record my Jan totals now and have started Feb thread. 

    26 OUT
    UU:-
    7 skincare items, 3 of which I WNBA. 4 I have replaced from stash
    3 bodycare items.  All replaced from stash
    2 fragrances - 1 sample. 1 30ml from advent calendar, Both WNBA
    5 makeup items - 1 mascara, 1 concealer, 2 foundation (1 used as setting powder) and 1 eyeshadow.
    6 Bath bombs
    1 nail polish remover- repurchased.

    GA Hotel Collection Citrus Blossom fragrance.


    INs 6
    Bare Minerals Heart eyeshadow, Bare Minerals Pressed Mineral Veil, 
    NBI - Bare Minerals Courage lipstick sample, Bare Minerals Skinlongevity serum sample & 2 x Mataram liquid highlighter samples.

    Not a bad month really. I have placed a LUSH order for bubble bars and intend that to be all that I buy in February.

    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Asajj I’ve recently bought from Nip Fab for the first time.  Whilst I’m yet to try the Glycolic pads (still finishing my Lacura dupes) I’ve opened the body scrub and am not very impressed. The consistency is very thin and not very scrubby.

    Great progress on your bronzer. Is it a product that you will repurchase when done? I find a good bronzer is tricky to find but think the Bare Minerals Warmth one is my HG.

    Hey Valm, sorry to hear that about that product. Might be worth firing than an email! I really love some of their products, especially glycolic pads and glycolic shots as well as Dragon Blood Serum.

    I might repurchase this bronzer again indeed. It doesn't look muddy on me and it is a good price!

    They asked me to leave a review which I did.  I did state that it was only a first impression and that I couldn't comment on the product's effectiveness however that I would have preferred it to be more scrubby.
