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.

Isn't it just. Such a good feeling

• The Inkey List Alpha Arbutin: was using on the backs of my hands, don't think it particularly did anything. WNBA.  Originally bought for face, but it was quite old, so relegated!
• Sample sachet: Garnier Moisture Radiance Energising Fresh Gel: lovely texture.  Highly scented (was a nice smell) so I used on my hands, but it was a very nice feel on the skin.

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. 

oooo which one?

The shea one.

UU MAC Radiance Primer in Radiant Pink.  HG.  Spare in stash.

UUs
Femfresh Re-Balance Powder 200g
Head & Shoulders Shampoo & Conditioner 2-in-1 450ml - Itchy Scalp

INs
Femfresh Re-Balance Powder 200g x 8

These were a necessary IN, since Boots stopped stocking them (for £2) and they went OOS in Home Bargains (for £2.99) it's been difficult to find them except on Amazon for silly money, so when I found them on Superdrug for £3.49 I bought 5, then found them in Home Bargains a few days later so bought another 3. I will probably buy more while Home Bargains have stock as I was down to my last bottle.

I've seen these in savers from time to time, just not on the website.

Today is payday and a whole bunch of things were running out so orders have been placed.  Listing them as IN's now while I remember:

- Jordan Samuel Skin The Aftershow Treatment Cleanser: HG cleanser, enough said
- Megababe Thigh Rescue: this is a anti-friction stick and I got the travel size to try to combat chafing that will inevitably occur in the Florida heat when we go in a few weeks time.  I do have "chub rub" shorts to wear under dresses but needed something for under shorts and on my feet.  Have tried the lanacane gel before and it was ok, but this is more travel friendly and comes well reviewed.
- LRP Serozinc: again HG daily "toner"
- UD Primer Potion: again HG eye primer
- Purito Fermented Complex 94 Boosting Essence: new to me product, tried a sample of this last week and really liked the plumping so giving it a go to add more moisture back into my skin
- Ambre Solaire After Sun Tissue Masks x 5: could I have just taken some of my other sheet masks on holiday with me? Yes.  Did I want these specifically for the aloe content as I don't have any aloe masks in right now?  Yes.  Were they only £1 each on the Savers site? Yes.
- Imperial Leather Bubble Bath x 2: needed some more bubbles 
- Nivea Star Fruit Shower Gel x2: almost finished my last shower gel and these are one of my fave scents from Nivea.  Usually I use Lush shower gels but trying to be a bit more conscious with spending money on something that just goes down the drain...
- Faith in Nature Grapefruit shower gel: another fave shower gel and was really reduced so I picked it up.  Won't need any more shower gel for the rest of the year now.
- Glossier Boy Brow: I've been using The Ordinary lash and brow serum for a few weeks and have noticed that my brows are definitely filling out (and the lashes are getting a little longer too 👍) so I don't need to fill them in as much.  Have always wanted to try this so bit the bullet as I had a discount code.

Think that's about it.  Haven't had a splurge like that in a while but I think it's all things that are "needed" rather than adding to the stash just because...look at me trying to justify spending money 🙄

@ruby_eskimo don't worry, we all do that, but it doesn't sound too terrible tbh.  Also, am jealous its your pay day!!!!!!!!!!!!  Why does every month feel like the worlds longest month at the moment?

UU

• sample sachet - AROMATICA - Aloe Hy-ffective Serum:  Used on my hands and arms, don't need all that HA on my face as its in everything. Wouldn't buy. Did feel soothing though.

INs

• Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Fragrance free 4 hr water resist lotion x 2: Current one is really spluttering, so this is my replacement purchase.  Tis a nice spf, not too greasy, good for body. Had 'buy one get one half price', so picked up two.
• The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% 30ml: replacement botox in a bottle peptide
  
• The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5%: this was my naughty addition as it is not strictly necessary.  Antioxidant that is meant to stimulate collagen production.  I'm not ready to try retinol/al, I will do this year, but adding more well-aging products to my arsenal in preparation as every little helps!!  It smells VERY strong
