    And again

    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


    UU Loccitane Verbena 10ml perfume.  I got this in a gift set Christmas 2019.  Don't like dabber bottles.  Not sure if it had gone off slightly either as it burns my chest.  Anyway, done. 

    The Serum and Primer tubes are both cut open.

    Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++:  the Ambre Solaire was TINY and soon to run out, so trying this one.

    PURITO Sea Buckthorn Vital 70 Cream: wanted to try sea buckthorn for extra brightening.  Didn't need this though.... have moisturisers so it's a bit naughty.  

    Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner: love this, and it was a good sale price, so ordered whilst discounted.  Again I didn't need it though as I have toners in the stash.

    uu

    Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Intense Shower Gel 50ml - this came with the perfume which I've yet to open, I think there might be a body lotion to go with this too. 

    This is the only uu I've had this month.

    * Mad About Skin- Gentle Jelly Cleanser: this is so nice, feels very luxurious, creamy and jelly-bouncy all at the same time.  WBA.

    Hi 
    r
    My latest update

    UU
    Ted Baker Body Spray
    Garnier Micellar Water
    Organic Skin Balm
    Anew Vitamin C Face Serum
    Saponi Citrus Foam Bath

    IN
    Immortelle Facial oil

    Total = 97

  • UU

    • Garnier Ambre Solaire- Anti Dark Spots & Anti-Pollution Super UV SPF 50: found this a bit stingy & gritty- unlikely to repurchase. Shame as the formula is nice, non-greasy and light.  Also, it's TINY!
    • Travel pot- COSRX Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream:  Nice, I finished the full size the other week. Remembered I'd decanted a bit into a travel container, so used this up.

    I used my new replacement sunscreen yesterday and it stung so bad!!!!!!!!!! :-1: I'm so sad as it had such good reviews and it was a lovely light non-greasy formula and I was so excited to finally get to try it.  I am actually scared to try it again on my face, so I think I'll relegate it to my arms/body, and am going to have to get a new sunscreen :disappointed:


    IN
    • Nivea Black & White Invisible Original anti-perspirant:  My spray will run out soon.  Wanted to try a roll-on, as I seem to go through the sprays very quickly, so trying a roll-on to try and save a bit of cash.

    My updated PP List for April
    Loccitane hand cream
    Skinsense Eye Concentrate
    Perfance face mask
    Prai night cream

    Philosophy Pumpkin Icing body wash.  I did finish this off in my bath.  This was a huge bottle that I got as a gift from my sister.  It was nice but glad it's finished now that it's "out of season".

    The Inkey List Vitamin C serum.  HG.  Surprisingly, I have now only noticed that I have worked through all my Inkey List stash bar a C50 Treatment bottle from Christmas.  Have re-ordered Vitamin C Serum and Niacinamide.



    Further UUs

    KVD Tattoo eyeliner.  This is my HG eyeliner however I had three in stash - a back up of this, a Lottie black eyeliner and what I thought was another black eyeliner by Eyeko.  So, I opened the Lottie one first.  It was a retractable one rather than a pencil however it was so scratchy that I threw it away immediately.  Decided to try the Eyeko one next however when I opened it I found it is a brown felt tip liner type so I have opened both that and the KVD.  The Eyeko one is quite nice and comparable to the KVD one (on first impression).

    LUSH charity pot balm.  I put this in my bath.  It was lovely.  Do prefer something that produces bubbles rather than an oil, though.

    UU:  OPI mini lacquer PCH Love Song.  This was a trial.  I used it mostly though as a base coat with another burnt orange colour on top.  Today is the first (and last) time I'm wearing it and I've chosen to see what it's like alone.  In unnatural light, it's nice enough.  In day light it's neon.  Very 80's.  WNBA although I still can't remember how I got this so not sure I bought it anyway.  Moving onto another OPI mini - Tickle my Francey.

  • Well done for getting through that orange nail polish, @VALM - sounds like a tricky colour and now it's gone! :smile:

    UU
    • Sample sachet- Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence
    • Sample sachet- Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream

    Both a bit goopy with an element of 'slime' feel due to the heavy HA component, so I didn't love the feel of the product, but my skin does look plump and nice today, so I'd consider buying these in the future (or one of them at least, so I don't overload on HA)

    UU so far this month:
    Nuxe body oil sample
    Yardley lily soap - WNBA came in a beauty box and not something I would buy normally but lasted ages and lathered well
    Clevefy shower steamer - WNBA last in the pack and this one apparently was lavender although could have been anything as smelled pretty much the same as the others in the pack

    still trying to finish off any hand cream, I have so many!

    Total UU this month = 3
