    Loreal Infallible foundation.  No more product is coming up through the pump so calling it done.  Have about a third of a tube and another full tube of Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue left so don't need to purchase foundation for now. 

    The Inkey List Niacinamide.  Have replacement in stash.

    I've decided to run my non make up items through the pan 25 over purchase project as well.  I am now up to 7 make up items and 15 non make up items.

    Mini Clinique moisturiser (not the yellow one, the gel like one). This is lovely. I'm wary of getting into Clinique though as tge Bonus Time used to be a trigger for me. Am opening a mini tube of First Aid Beauty Coconut Water moisturiser next 

    Mini can of Batiste dry shampoo. Have other dry shampoo in stash  

    Also hit pan in my Colourpop Lightening Bug Supershock eyeshadow.

    Morning all, had a flurry of UU's  over the weekend:

    Clarins Double Serum sample - have a few of these and have yet to notice a difference

    Jordan Samuel Skin Hydrate serum sample - really like this, may go back to a full size of this once I've exhausted all my other serums

    Clarins Hydra Essential moisturiser mini - did the job, not too heavy on the skin but still left it feeling hydrated

    H2O Sea Salt Body Lotion x 2 - these are the mini sizes that I used to take from Disney hotels, but we were given A LOT of them on our last trip as H2O has gone out of business now.  Nice lotion, keeps my skin feeling soft till the next day.  

    Lush Snowdrift ballistic - like the scent of this and the subtle shimmer in the water

    The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal mask - love this, have replaced with a mini size but then I'm back to an old favorite that I just repurchased...

    The Body Shop Spiced Orange Body Scrub - absolutely love the scent of this range but this just wasn't scrubby enough for me.  I like coarser sugar scrubs and this was kind of a whipped one.  Have replaced with a Rituals one which are probably my favorites

    The Body Shop Peppermint Foot Scrub - HG foot product, can't be without it, need to repurchase this week

    Etude House Dr Ampule sheet mask - like these as the masks are a little thicker and fit to your face better, plus lots of essence in there.  Woke up to very soft skin this morning.

  • Just an Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner use-up to report from the weekend.

    Using up a Beauty Pie Jeju Mist as a toner before starting an Elemis Rehydrating Ginseng Toner (one of my favourites).

    @Hodgepodge I used to love the Elemis toners but am now a convert to the M&S Pure one. I have the blue bottle which (annoyingly) I can't find on their website now.

    I have quite a few in my stash and they often include them in QVC TSVs, so I always seem to have them and can't try anything else.
    Thanks for the recommendation anyway :-)
