• Nivea Lip Balm- peach Fruity Shine: Like this, nice slight peachy sheen, inexpensive, will repurchase again in the future.  Scraped this out, it is done done!

Sad to say I've had my first TA in a long time:

Bondi Sands Hydra Face Fluid SPF 50: Thankfully I got this on mega sale and thought it would be great for me, but every time I've used it, I get a massive breakout on my chin in the exact same place.  Haven't changed anything else, just this and think it's more than a coincidence.  Back to my tried and true LRP Anthelios which I was using on holiday and will swap to the cheaper Nivea Matte one that's done.

Updated list

Laura Geller Kiss lipstick

OPI You Callin me a Lyre nail polish

Skinsense Overnight Mask

Paula's Choice exfoliator (small bottle)

Aloe Vera Shower gel

Morphe Jacqueline Hill On Camera shadow from Ring the Alarm palette

OPI Did you Ear about Van Gogh

UU from above :-

The Inkey List Caffeine eye cream.  HG.  Replaced today.

TBS Chamomile Cleansing Butter.  HG.  Replacement from stash.

I have made more purchases!  Placed a Look Fantastic Order:-

3 x 200ml tubes of ABC tea tree body lotion.  Nearly finished my 500ml bottle.  Wanted smaller bottles to take on my travels with me.

MAC Ruby Woo lip pencil

MAC Dazzleshaw liquid eyeshadow called Love Yourself

Kabuki brush

The Inkey List Kaolin Clay Mask

This qualified me for a free mystery gift which was a small tube of hair gel - Woohoo.  Can take it away with me though.

I also ordered a replacement The Ordinary Cleanser from ASOS as I have nearly finished the 50ml tube I bought.  Bought the bigger tube this time. 

Went to Trafford Centre on Sunday and got a Kylie lip lacquer called Posie 100.  Got this with my Advantage Points.  Glad I didn't pay good money for this as the formula is quite drying.  The colour though is an exact dupe for KVD Lovecraft.

I accidentally knocked over the pot of brown eyeshadow I've been using as a brow powder, it was a Soap & Glory one from a quad which I depotted into a little pot ages ago, I'm surprised I haven't dropped it or knocked it over before now.

I've given DD a bar of Dove and a 500ml bottle of Philosophy Grace shower gel to take to uni.

Hope DD does ok at Uni.  Are you ok with her going?  Is she far away?

• MUJI - Sensitive Skin Oil Cleansing 200ml:  Nice light oil for my double cleanse, I enjoyed using this, felt luxurious.  Will switch to TBS balm next to try and figure out whether I prefer oil or balm
• Isntree - Onion Newpair Essence Toner 200ml:  I really like this, feel like it helps keep blemishes at bay, and help them go away quicker.  I have another one of these on the way with my Yesstyle order!

Oooooh, my Yesstyle stuff arrived today and it's so pretty!  And, also I feel v guilty!

• SKINFOOD - Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence 50ml: Kind of a replacement for my Matrixyl as I'm going to use it in the plumpy hydration moisturising category, but with added benefit of it helping with spots and glow game.  Excited to try this one, it has rave reviews. 
• NEOGEN - Dermalogy White Truffle Serum In Oil Drop [50ml]:  I'm super excited to try this going into the cooler months- meant to be nourishing and good for the skin barrier, with a bit of glow and anti-aging thrown in. 
• DERMATORY - Hypoallergenic Cica Gel Cream 50ml: Replacement for my Klairs midnight blue calming cream that is starting to splutter.  I love the Klairs one, but want to avoid EGF for now, so trying this one which seems similar ingredients-wise.  We'll see how much of a dupe it is or not!
  
• By Wishtrend - Quad Active Boosting Essence [100ml]: Wanted to try this for AGES.  I like to use an 'active' toner as well as a hydrating one- one that has more hardworking ingredients, like my Isntree onion one with tranexamic acid, or the green tea one with sebum control.  This one is meant to help keep your skin clear and blemish free, and give a glow from the propolis.
  
• AMPLE: N - Ceramide Shot Ampoule [100ml]: Replacement for my Purito serum, though I still have half left…. I REALLY want to try the RNW ceramide serum as it also has peptides, but it’s the same price as this for 30ml, whereas the Ample N is 100ml HUGE bottle, so it was a much more economical choice.  Can only get it from Yesstyle/Korea direct, I've not seen it on UK K Beauty websites, so although I have half of the Purito left, it made sense to get this now.
• Isntree - Onion Newpair Essence Toner [200ml]: Replacement.
• Beauty of Joseon - Revive Eye Serum [30ml]: My eye cream is running low, and wanted to try this as it has retinal in it!  Never actually tried anything with a retinoid before, so we'll see how it goes.  Although, I've just realised I probably shouldn't use it every day straight away so will probably need to get another eye cream for the off days- doh!!!  Oh, FYI, this tube is HUGE and will last a hundred years!!!!!!!!
  
• The Saem - Saemmul Single Blusher in Orchid Rumour, Selfie Orange and Honey Yellow: These were a bit of an impulse add to the cart, to try the unusual colours and not pay much money to do it.  I do feel bad about these.

VALM - DD is going to Newcastle in the morning.  I'm focussing on the practicalities at the moment and not letting myself dwell on things, I think I might be a mess tomorrow though.  We still have DS at home for another couple of years and he may stay home for uni, he's a real home body.

Avon Pomegranate Body Lotion - this was OK, I think I have another although it might be in a different scent.

My daughter spent 4 years at Newcastle.  If it’s any consolation I always felt she was safer there than in Manchester where we live. I miss visiting there.  I guess your daughter’s In halls at the moment but when she moves out I’d recommend Jesmond. It’s a lovely area.

VALM - She is in halls at the moment, she ended up with her third choice which is a long way from the medical school, it's a nice student village but the surrounding area felt a bit sketchy to me.  You're the second person that has said Jesmond is nice.
