I'm loving the Purito fermented essence at the moment as well @Clutterbug07 and the bottle is lasting a long time so very economical too 👍  Will be interested to hear your experience with the other essences.

Will let you know!  So far, I like the kombucha one, but struggle a little where to fit it in the routine as it's a bit creamy/oily, so I usually add it right before moisturiser but sometimes I do forget by that stage!  Have only used the quad one a few times so don't have much feedback yet, but it's a little more drying than I thought it would be.  Checked the ingredients again and it does have willow bark so a v v gentle BHA, and its marketed as anti-inflam, anti bacterial, so basically to keep your skin clear n spot free, which explains why it felt a little more drying.  My only other propolis toner I've tried is the COSRX one which is an entirely different beast!

Body Shop Vitamin E Day Cream 100ml

Body Shop Camommile Cleansing Butter

I took advantage of the 25% off for yesterday.

I've bought more in the last couple of days than I have in months.  That's what happens when I go Christmas shopping.

78SH

Running total is now -4
Having the sloooooowest month ever!
UU a Tropic skin dream - really liked this initially but went off it and have struggled to use it up.  
UU a small shower gel that I snaffled from a Radisson, smelt lovely, goji berry and sea salt, but have no idea who makes it for them!

UU/Throw away

• The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter: it happened- the lid got stuck!  And then I bashed it to try and unjam it, and managed to crumple a corner of the tin, so it will 100% never open now- well done me.  I was almost finished too, so that's really annoying!  At least there won't be much waste, I really was almost done.
• Sally Hansen Miracle Cure Strengthener:  Soft nails today from doing some hand-washing, so put some of this on.  But it was goopy, a bit yellowy and smelt kinda funky, so this is being binned- it's done!

These haven't arrived yet, but as I spent the money this month I'm counting it now.  I succumbed to some Black Friday bargains.

• Odens Eye - Solmåne II Moonlight Feel Highlighter in Pink Star: Wanted to try a blush and highlight from Odens Eye for the longest time as they look absolutely gorgeous, and they were 40% off in the BF sale- it seemed stupid not to get it now, when I would get these at some point and end up paying full price for it later!
• Odens Eye - Solmåne II Sunlight Love Blusher in Warm Sun: Gorgeous peachy blush, can't wait for it to arrive!
• Polished for Days nail polish - Incandescent: Stunning green flakey festive polish
• ILNP Nail Polish- Salem:  Black with a red green shift- looks amazing.  Got one as a present for a friend too.  

Right, this will be the last polishes I buy for a while that's not a strengthener or top/base coat!

The Body Shop seriously need to change that packaging.  I now find that I have to leave the tin slightly ajar.  Would be better in a jar! Boom Boom!

Dare I ask where you have ordered he Odens Eye goodies from?

Another UU (it's been a slow month for me too):-

Aveeno body lotion 150ml tube.  This was Emma's.  I got sick of dusting it in the bathroom.  There's a tube of Dove body lotion that is also going to get the same treatment.

I hit pan in my Bare Minerals pressed Mineral Veil and have taken the stopper out of my MAC Mocha Swirl lipgloss.  The lipgloss should be finiished this week. 

I did purchase a bottle of L'oreal Infalliable foundation last week and like it so far.

They really should change it shouldn't they!  I'm surprised I made it so long without this happening to me tbh!!

Got my Odens Eye order direct from their website - not sure if it's allowed to add a web address in the chat but just incase- from here:  https://www.odenseye.se/  Haven't ordered from there before, but am hoping since they're a European brand it shouldn't take too long to get here!

Also, I love the L'Oreal Infallible foundation, been using it for quite a while now!

I'm glad Odens Eye is not available in the UK.  I am really being tempted by everything I see at the moment!  I've been to Superdrug for a new glitter eyeshadow as I'm going on a littel trip soon and also succumbed to the 3for2 in the form of 2 x Maybelline Superstay lippies.

Some last minute progress for this month:-

MAC Mocha Swirl lipgloss is done.  I actually ordered two accidentally however will find someone to give the spare to as I would not wear this again.  It contained quite chunky glitter. 

OPI Tickle my Francey mini also finished.  I'm always a bit meh about this colour.  If it comes in another set (and it always seems to be in one along with Alpine Snow and Bubble Bath) I'd wear it.  Need to choose a new mini to pan.

ELF concealer - I have removed the stopper so shouldn't take long to finish.

Lorac Pro Matte palette.  I have hit pan in Corduroy.  I only have four shadows left in this palette (Corduroy, Chocolate, Burgundy and Jet Black) and do want to get this all used up next year.  I've been using Corduroy in my brows and will continue to do so.
