3000 eyeshadows
some of their collections are bonkers aren't they, but I do enjoy when they do declutters as then I find out what's good and whats not!
Fabulous savings on your cruise, @VALM!! We have a crazy amount of BA voucher to use up as we didn't get to Mexico for Day of the Dead in 2020 due to covid happening, so we have to try and figure out where to go instead..... vouchers run out in Sept 2023 and we couldn't go DOTD this year, and they won't extend our vouchers (BOO BA, you suck!), so we have to figure out where else to go. We could obvs just go to Mexico, but then it'd be years and years before we'd go back there so we'd never get to DOTD!!! Maybe Australia, those are pricey flights, but we'd get our moneys worth on the vouchers at least. Hmmm, decisions to make!
Two little UUs this morning:- Nina Ricci Travel mini- 4ml: Nice, and also handy because of its mini-size. Can't remember which 'colour this one was, the blue one I think, Luna? Would get these mini's again. I have one more left and that is pretty low now too, so won't be too long till they're all done
- Rimmel Lasting Finish Makeup Primer: Don't think this was anything special. I got this as a gift with purchase so I didn't buy it myself, but I don't think I'd spend my money on it. I have an E.L.F jellypop primer in my stash (apparently I bought 2 a while ago) so back to that one for now.

Oh, do y'all count beauty gifts as INS? My friend surprised me with the Revolution Beetlejuice eyeshadow palette at Halloween, and I haven't added it since I didn't buy it.....
Also, yep, all that dithering and the palette I wanted has sold out..... yay?I did try duping the vibes at lunchtime and I can do a pretty good match (and it looks stunning!), but it's like shadows from 6 palettes and 3 singles
I know it's now sold out cos I went on to finally buy it!
oh well.

- e.l.f. Baked Highlighter Moonlight Pearls 704: This was my first ever highlighter- I was very late the the highlighter game! Searched my inbox to see if I ordered it online to see when I got it, and 23/10/2020- it took me two years to finish!
Though I don't think I used to wear highlighter religiously till maybe a year ago. Now I am obsessed by highlighters and want to buy all the highlighters! :-P This feels like a massive achievement, I finished a highlighter!!!!!!!!

Have a couple of UU to report:
Lucy Minerals Foundation Sample - I really like the coverage of these and the finish on the skin. But it transfers on to EVERYTHING. Can't hug someone as it will leave a massive patch of foundation on them, leaves marks on coats etc. But it looks amazing on 😒
Lush Dexter's Dragon Egg Ballistic - loved the scent of this and it crackled so gave a lovely effect in the bath. Wasn't too keen on all the glitter but it didn't really stick to my skin so that's a bonus. Just need to scrub the bath now 🤣

More UUsLush Lord of Misrule sample. I didn't like this at all WNBA.I've finished all the Lush bubble bars/bath bombs I had which were Ghostie (loved this), Pumpkin something or other (lovely oily consistency) and Alien (my least favourite but not bad).The Inkey List Niacinamide. HG.Elemis Toner - I do like this although it is expensive but the 400ml bottle lasts me about 6 months at least. I have replaced it with a Pure one from M&S.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
