    VALM - Belated birthday wishes.

    I have some ins

    Martha Hill Honey Hydro Moisturiser x 2
    Martha Hill Honey Treatment Cream x 2

    My skin is becoming much drier these days and I need to change my skincare up a bit to help.  It hasn't helped that I've had/am still recovering from Covid and that has dried my skin out even more.

    Sorry to hear that you have been unwell dolly84.  Keep hydrated and warm. xx
    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!

    I hit pan in an eyeshadow this morning - Colourpop Supershock shadow in the colour Sequin.  I have been adding Duraline to it as it had become dry.  Lovely colour.

    I keep meaning to update but work has been busy and I'm mostly snoozing on my sofa after 6pm.

    I have sold 1 Emma Hardy cleansing balm on eBay. I just don't like the texture of this product. It was from a beauty box and always popular on eBay.

    Had a bath last week and UU'ed a bath bomb. 

    This morning, when tidying up the cupboard, I found a jar o Superdrug vitamin E leave on mask - I adore the scent of this but it is old and barely used so I binned the contents and recycled the container.

    UU No7 Hydraluminous Foundation.

    This has become an HG over the years and I have more in the stash. Great for my dry skin.

    This is a lovely foundation, leaves a really subtle glow on drier skins and looks good 12 hours later when I take my makeup off.

  • @perfect10 Been thinking of trying the Superfacialist  vitamin C cleansing oil when I'm done with my balm/other oil cleansing products- does the Vit C tingle/irritate at all?


    No it doesn’t tingle and doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily. I would never have bought it if I hadn’t got a bottle in a beauty box buts it’s definitely one of my favourites now!
    Entering a few comps here and there 2020 seems my best year for wins so far:- iphone xs, limited edition whiskey, Masha and the Bear toys, newborn baby stuff, 3 x books, 12 months membership to diet app, bottle of syrup, Baby Shark singing puppet, children’s book, Nasty vegan shake x 2 packs.

    Updated PP List

    ABC Body lotion (actually on the last bottle of this so hopefully it will last the month)
    Lacura Glycolic pads
    L’Occitane hand lotion (on desk at work)
    Rituals handcream (carried over)
    Skinsense Day Cream
    Skinsense Overnight Leave on mask (carried over- tube is very light).
    Yorkshire Soap Company Happy Hebden Bare soap (carried forward)

    UU OK Eye masks - I can't say that these did anything.  I have just tried the lip mask also but don't like the sensation on my lips and they feel drier than when I started. Will see if Emma wants the other one.

    I've been using the Overnight mask every night to try and finish it.  We have a week left and realistically I think I can finish it, the pads and the day cream this month.

    I'm also hopeful of finishing my primer, eyeshadow primer and Benefit Dandelion blush this week too.

    UU Benefit Dandelion blush. Does anyone else remember when these were marketed as face powders?  I have been using it as face powder on the perimeter of my face as well as blush.  WIBA?  Probably not.  I did have a back up of this.  The Christmas before last MRM bought me a kit taht contained Dandelion and Bad Gal Bang mascara as he got the kit for the cost of the mascara alone.  I sold Dandelion on.

    Of all the Benefit blushers that I own the one that I have repurchased and will repurchase again is Dallas.

    Yes I remember that, very pink to have all over your face though.  I used to love the Benetint blush, I had my first bottle for a long time then when I replaced it they had sort of watered it down and it was nowhere near as good.
