CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser - this was one of DD's rejects.  I liked it as a morning cleanser.

I got the Retinol version of this.  Looking forward to trying it.

UU Revolution Niacinamide cleanser.  I have repurchased this, I hope.  The product has been rebranded.

Bare Minerals Heartbreaker lipgloss. This was a lovely colour though I’m sure I have dupes.

My hack to save using so much face cream: remove facial hair. I use half as much cream each time

  what do you use to remove facial hair?  I've tried the remover creams before, and I have a tweezerish device that you sort of roll along your skin and twist so it pulls out multiple at a time, but have never found a fantastic method.

• Concrete Minerals Mineral Eyeshadow in Juvenile: this was a surprise finish- I hadn't used it in aaaaaaaaaages, and just fancied it- picked it up and hadn't realised it was literally done!  There was only about half an eye each, so inner half on each with a darker outer shade. It's a bright acidy yellow, cool-toned- it applies a bit patchy but with layers it is ok, and I have no other colour like it in my collection.  Clearly when I last ordered from Concrete Minerals I bought a few things to save on shipping, cos I had another of this as a backup!
• Soltan Once Face Advanced 8 hour Protection- SPF50: from last year, was mostly empty so used up on my arms whilst it's not too sunny out.
• Sample sachet- Mizon Original Skin Energy Collagen 100: didn't like this, was very tacky on the skin- WNB.
• Sample sachet: L'Oreal Pure Retinol Deep Wrinkle Night Serum: i've never used retinol before, and as it has a lot of fragrance I decided not to use it on my face, so on the hands.  Am tempted to get a retinol specifically for my hands, as a couple of times a week I use those gloves overnight and layer up loads of products.  Maybe the Inkey List retinol?  I know it doesn't have much retinol in, but it'd be inexpensive and I wouldn't feel bad only using it on my hands.
• Sample sachet: Dr Ceuracle Hyal Reyouth Night Cream: was quite nice. Not sure I'd purchase the full £25 tub, as don't think it was anything super special.

• COSRX  Cica Serum: this was my second bottle of this, for soothing and calming. Buuuut it is quite a sticky formula, which I don't love, so won't repurchase right now.

Have a Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule in the stash I've been dying to try, so yay, I can now!  Also, it's a beautiful bottle, and also HUGE. Hah- I better like it!

Smashbox Eyeshadow from the Full Exposure palette.  This was the Matte 5 colour.  This was lovely.  I ended up using this in my brows as well as a base.  Am trying to pan all the dark colours left in my various partly panned palettes and have pulled out the Too Faced Natural Eyes palette to use Erotica.  I think I have a good dupe for the Smashbox one in my Revolution Iconic palette too.

Also UU Tresemme Pro Colour shampoo.  This was awful.  My hair never felt clean after using it.  WNBA.

Another lipgloss done.  Bare Minerals Rebel.  This was a mini size that I got in my advent calendar a couple of years ago.  I didn't like the formula of this as it was one of the plumping ones.

• TBS Festive Berry shower gel: yeah, nice, do like a fruity shower gel.  This was a Christmas present, so not something I bought, but I do enjoy a festive Body Shop gift set.

• Sample sachet- Make Prem- Safe me. Relief moisture Cream 12: I have MANY of these free samples.  They're nice enough.
• Elegant Touch- Quick Dry Nail Spray:  Seems to work, handy for nails, would repurchase as I ALWAYS smudge nails before they dry.
  

Throw Away

• Salt of the Earth Natural Deodorant- Lavender and Vanilla: Never liked the smell, not sure it worked, and spray has stopped working. WNBA.

UU The Body Shop Chamomile Cleansing Butter.  You all know how I feel about this one.  Replaced.

I have a weird reaction to something on Tuesday.  My face was very red - looked like rosacea.  The only thing I've changed is my cleanser because Revolution have reformulated it.  Since then I have made sure that I rinse it straight off and it appears to be ok but will keep an eye on this.
