Welcome back @kadison!  And good to know about that BoJ sunscreen @Clutterbug07 as I was looking at that the other day.  Have you tried their essence?  I think I need something to add some extra moisture and it looks promising?

Have a couple of IN's to declare:

- Bondi Sands Hydra UV Face Fluid SPF 50+: ordered this to try as was low on my face SPF and it's been delayed so had to go out and buy...
- Nivea Sun Face Protect Anti-Shine SPF 50+: used it once so far and seems quite good.  Little bit thicker than I'm used to but didn't leave a white cast that I could see and kept me quite matte, but glowy.  Will see how it goes

And a few UU's:

- Thank You Farmer Water Sun Project SPF 50+: Wasn't too sure about this to start with as it isn't really meant for oily skin but ended up liking it.  It's a bit expensive though so probably wouldn't buy again (I got it as part of a deal)
- Byoma Brightening Serum: Like this, may buy again.  It has similar ingredients to a more expensive serum that I like (and have replaced it with).  Will see if the effects of the more expensive one is worth the extra price, otherwise will happily repurchase this
- Origins Drink Up Mask: This was a deluxe travel size that had been open for a while and decided to just use it up last night on my cheeks.  Didn't really think it did anything but that could be due to it being old!
- Missha Lemon Sheet Mask: Love this for how hydrating they are and have chucked a couple in the fridge to use this week.  Have loads to use up and once they've gone I'll be trying to persuade DH to take a trip back to South Korea so I can stock up on skincare again (and see the wonderful country and eat the amazing food of course!)
- Also used up 11 sachets / samples of various skin care on a recent overnight trip.  Too many to list out but some stand outs were the Erborian Red Correct CC Cream (may have to invest in this once I've finished my It Cosmetics one), Tata Harper Water Lock moisturiser (loved this but way too expensive for me) and Purito Fermented Essence (can't remember the full name but definitely noticed my skin looked a lot more plump after using this - may have to invest in an essence to help my dehydrated skin)

Will probably have to make another order somewhere when payday hits on Friday as I've just realised I'm almost out of UD Primer potion and LRP Serozinc which are daily staples for me 🤔

@ruby_eskimo no I haven't tried the essence, the ginseng one?  I'd like to at some point though, it's meant to give great glow!  The Purito one, was it the Fermented Complex 94 Boosting Essence?  I actually just started a bottle of that last week, am enjoying it so far.  The COSRX Propolis one is good for moisturising, and the Klairs Supple Unscented toner- both are juicy and thick, if you haven't tried those I recommend!

UU

• Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Liquid- 10CP:  Hallelujah, this is finally done!!!!!!!!!!! I never got along with this one.  Too pale, too dry on my skin, always made me look a little ill tbh. WNBA  

ruby_eskimo

Yes those are the ones @Clutterbug07 😊  Think I might pick up the purito one as a couple of uses from the sample seemed to be good.  Also heard good things about the COSRX Snail one but not sure I can convince myself to use snail slime on my face 😆  Thanks for the recs, will see if I can get some samples 👍

It's good to see newbies and returnees xx. 

Another UU :  TBS Chamomile Cleansing Butter.  HG.  More in stash.

I went to a carnival last weekend and won a bottle of TBS shampoo on a tombola.  It really is lovely. 

Clutterbug07

@ruby_eskimo oh I love the COSRX snail essence- it's a little weird to get your head round at first, but it's not too bad once you have!   I love using it after chemical exfoliation especially, it feels very soothing.

oooo which one?

ruby_eskimo

Hehe I've seen a mini version of it available @Clutterbug07 so might pick that up when pay day rolls around...

UU a Etude House sheet mask last night and if you haven't tried a sheet mask from the fridge, then please do - it's so cooling and relaxing, especially in the heat we had yesterday.  The Etude House masks are cellulose based so a little thicker and actually stay in place while delivering a lot of moisture to the skin. WBA, but again have a few to work my way through first!

Philosophy Amazing Grace Shower Gel 240ml .

Of my very large shower gel stash of old I now only have 3 bottles left, all Philosophy, I have one 500ml and one 240ml Amazing Grace and a 500ml Raspberry Glazed.  I have a few new bottles of shower gel which have come my way by various means and several solid body wash bars.  My stash of beauty products is small now especially compared to what it was and I love that all the boxes, containers and storage systems have been deployed for use elsewhere or moved on altogether.  Very liberating for me to have normal habits in this area now.
