I must also confess to a couple of IN's

- KVD Beauty Lock It Powder: I have the mini one and have almost finished it, and the big size was on sale in Boots.  Absolutely love this powder and a little goes a very long way

May look into buying this when my Bare Minerals Pressed Mineral Veil is done if I can't get hold of that.  At the moment everywhere seems to be out of stock of my colour.  Do you use the loose one?

Yep, the loose one for me - it's so finely milled and doesn't leave a white cast on the skin which is great in my book.  Gives almost a velvet finish to the skin so not too matte but keeps everything locked in place (like it says on the tin 😆).  I've been using the small one about 6 months and still have about a quarter left in the pot so definitely good value for me, plus it comes with a removable sifter cover so it doesn't leak out everywhere when you're travelling with it 👍

I do need to join. Not sure I am up just yet to do a full list, but 16 new mascaras and 25 bottles of shampoo and conditioner probably tell their own story!

Making an effort to use things more frequently too.

1 uu - liz earle cleanse and polish.

Ins  - lush subscription box, so 6 new items

Love the Matte Inks, they're really good, have quite a few of them!

Oh dear, having a busy tiring week (start of my crazy period at work) and I treated myself to some new nail polishes that I 100% did not need as I have plenty of polish, BUT they did also cheer me up, so.... yeah, this next few months may not be my best for not spending on toiletries due to work madness!

• Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint- Banana Split:  This as you might guess is a crazy yellow colour
• Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint- Party Ring: Pretty lilac, inspired by a work colleague who always has lilac nails and I think it looks v pretty.
  
• Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint- Fizzy Apple: 3 for 2. This as the name suggests is a bright appley green.  Thought it would be fun for summer.
  

Plus some necessities from Boots that are much less exciting:

• Soltan Once Face Advanced 8 hour Protection SPF50: Replacement, mine is currently cut open and has maybe one or two applications left
• Sure Antiperspirant roll-on: it probs has a fancier name than this, but I can't be bothered to go check it!   To replace the sticky Nivea one.  This one is not sticky so far, liking it

Liz Earle Superbalm - this was a full size pot which lasted forever, I do really like it though, I think I have two mini pots in the stash.

Pantene Argan Oil Hair Serum - this was OK, didn't really do anything amazing I don't think.

I also finished up a bar of blue Shield soap, I love the scent of this and WBA.

Another UU - A England Yeoman Warder nail colour.  To be fair, I could probably have gotten more product out of this but it wasn't worth the effort as it's never applied nor worn well on me.

UU

• Soltan Once Face Advanced 8 hour Protection- SPF 50: Multiple repurchases of this product, great for if you're out all day. Greasy, but can put up with it not to have to re-apply
• Sample sachet- L'Oreal Revitalift Filler Renew: Used on my hands overnight with my glove things. Wouldn't buy.

Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhh three serums finished last night, crazy crazy!

UU

• The Body Shop Drops of Youth Concentrate:  Was using on my face a while back, but relegated to hands as I wanted to try other serums with more interesting ingredients.  For such a small bottle, it lasted ages, though on hands you do only need 1 drop each unlike if used on your face/neck
• The Inkey List- 15% Vitamin C and EGF:  FINALLY!  This was OLD, so I was using it on my hands, think any Vit C-ness was long gone, so didn't do much for anti-aging on my hands, but I guess helped keep them soft(ish)
  
• Ample:N - Ceramide Shot Ampoule: This is a massive 100ml bottle, and I do really like it- has three ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acid, beta glucan, niacinamide, adenosine- lots of really good ingredients.  Found it nice and soothing.  WBA, though want to try a different ceramide serum first before I repurchase

Yorkshire Soap Co Shampoo Bar - I've been buying these for a few years now, we all really like them, we use the solid conditioner too although I do still need a liquid conditioner once a week, I have fine and very knotty curls.  WBA
