    Philosophy Field of Flowers EDP 60ml - I seemed to power through this in no time.  Nice but not as long lasting as the Grace perfumes.

    • Lily Lolo Colour Corrector- Peepo:  Yellow colour-correcting powder.  Used this as a blemish/dark mark concealer- just a little burshed over a mark before putting my foundation on and it worked a treat- hardly need any actual concealor, so my make up feels a lot lighter these days.  Had another one in the stash
    • Sure 72H anti-perspirant spray- 250ml- Uplifting and Fresh: yep, nice, would repurchase.  Think I have some spray deo I my cupboard, so don't need to buy a new one straight away.

  • @dolly84 I was at uni in the North East too (Durham and Stockton) and spent a lot of time in Newcastle too.  Jesmond is a lovely area; the boyfriend I had in my first year was from there so spent a lot of time in the area with his family.  Hope your DD has a great time.

    Have a couple of UU to report:

    Missha Lemon Sheet Mask - Slowly working through the massive pile of these I brought back from South Korea.  Nice masks, lots of essence in there and fit my face quite well.

    Crabtree & Evelyn Luminous Cleansing BalmWBA if it was on sale.  I got this in TK Maxx for £3.99 but its RRP was £27 🤯 and it was a lovely balm that got rid of everything as a first cleanse in the evening.  Have replaced it with my regular TBS camomile cleansing butter.

    • The Inkey List Tranexamic Acid Night Treatment:  2% tranexamic acid, 2% acai berry and 2% vitamin C derivative.  Not sure how much this did for  brightening/hyperpigmentation/uneven skin tone.  When I get paid again next month I plan to replace this with the Face Theory Exaglow serum (5% tranexamic, plus Vit C derivative, lactic acid and licorice)
    Got a few things *almost* finished, but not quite, so can't add them to this list yet!

    Desert Essence Soft Curls Cream - this is really nice, I may buy again but it is hard to get hold of, I do have other products to use first anyway.

    • Sure Antiperspirant roll-on- Invisible Aqua: Liked this, not sticky. WBA.  Have one travel deo spray so will use up that and hope it lasts till payday, but obvs if it doesn't, I'll replace the roll-on now.
    • Klairs Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter: Felt nice to apply, but don't know how much it did? But then, do ANY eye creams?  A cream can't stop the clocks, can it!  Probs will go back to the snail cosrx one so I can altenate with the new retinol eyecream, but waiting till payday to purchase

  • I feel the same way about eye cream @Clutterbug07 but yet I keep buying them 😆

    Couple of UU's to report:

    Imperial Leather Bubble Bath - Cheap and cheerful and gave lots of bubbles.  Have another one in the stash to use up and then may take a trip to Lush for a couple of Christmas treats.

    Etude House Dr Ampules Sheet Mask - have a few more of these to work through.  Nice cellulose type sheet mask that actually stays on your face and chock full of essence so very moisturising.


    Feel like I might be finally making progress on some makeup items that will finally be finished next month.  Really focusing on using my lip products so challenging myself to use something every day, be it a lipstick, gloss or balm.  Have 3 lip things I think I can finish by the end of the year if I carry on, just need to actually use them!

  • Hahaha @ruby_eskimo, I know, right?  And yet I keep purchasing them too! :lol:

    • An eyeshadow!  Jardin, from Too Faced A La Mode St Tropez Palette:  A peachy colour, not very pigmented.  Have had this palette a LONG time, it's not hugely interesting to me tbh- too neutral.  Jardin was always it's most used shade, so I've been trying to finish it as it's had pan for a 100 years!  I have pan in two highlightery browbone shades too, so will start using those more to see if I can get through them.  After that, not sure what to do with the palette.....it wouldn't be hate-panning, but it would be boring-panning :lol:
