    Thank you for the new thread. March has flown by and I didn't really count what I used but I have sold a foundation that was too drying for me.

    Hope everyone is well.

    UU

    • COSRX Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream: like this one, it's a bit of a gel-cream texture, and not heavy.  It's in an opaque pump bottle so I had no idea it was finished- so annoying!!!!!!!!  :lol:  

    Have no eye cream back up, so will be purchasing a new one shortly.  Might try a different one.

    3 UUS for me:-

    LUSH Sleepy bubble bar.  I felt like I had a cold yesterday and had a lovely soak in this last night.  WBA.

    ABC body lotion.  I have just replaced this.

    Nip & Fab body scrub.  This was effective even though I didn't find it scrubby enough.


    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!

    Another UU:  Toner concoction which was made up of 2 x 200mls of Lacura toner and Liz Earle IBST.  Have an Elemis one left in stash.

    im also looking to buy a Tree Hut body scrub.

    Thanks for the new thread. Hope everyone is well. 

    Been slogging through these lhjs so not many uus:

    Clairol advanced gray semi permanent hair colour, wnba, covers nicely but you need to use the full bottle at £17 a pop. Found an alternative that will hopefully do the same job.

    Altruist hyaluronic acid moisturiser - WBA, possible HG. Find this works better on my face and the dry skin repair cream is better for the body as the urea content is slightly too much for the face. 

    Ins:

    Adore semi permanent hair dye
    2 x Laurelle perfumes
    2x altruist hyaluronic moisturiser
  • UU

    *Lash Paradise mascara- waterproof: HG, had another in my stash
    * Sample- Jimmy Choo perfume: Wouldnt buy
    *RCMA pressed powder- translucent: rubbish, crumbly, too chalky- WNBA!

    Wasn't that the product that gave YouTubers flash back on camera?  LOL.

    I'm on a roll:-

    My updated PP List for April
    Loccitane hand cream
    Philosophy Pumpkin Icing shower gel
    Skinsense Eye Concentrate
    The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum 
    Nyx Glitter Primer
    Perfance face mask
    Prai night cream
    Loccitane Verbena 10ml perfume

    UU:  Rituals handcream.  This was long slog. Really did not like the fragrance although it was effective.  WNBA.

    Yorkshire Soap Company Happy Hebden Bare soap.  The fragrance was very subtle with this in comparison to the LUSh Snow Fairy bar that I've just started.  The Lush one also lathers up more.  I have another one of the Yorkshire Soap Company soaps in stash but probably WNBA.
