Nivea Family Care Moisturiser 450ml - this is less than a fiver and is really nice and moisturising.

Three UU for February so far, not sure there will be others.

Burts Bees Cherry Lip Balm. WBA. Loved this, trying to use up the last of my stash now then will look at buying with purpose.
Drunk Elephant Protini. WBA. Onto next pot already.
L'occitane Shea Butter Lip Balm. WNBA. This was the squeeze one rather than the stick, prefer the stick ones.

• Nivea Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover: Gonna try a different one next, as my eyes have been a little watery recently. This is great, but trying the Garnier version- which is also larger than this, maybe I wont go through it so quickly!
• The Body Shop- Lemon Purifying Hand Wash:  Well this didn’t last long, got it in Jan. Its not very big though, and it was my Body Shop birthday freebie, so not really complaining.  Didn’t smell amazing, I thought it would be beautifully lemony, but too medicinal/cleaning product smell.  Wouldn't buy again.
  

Throw Away

Finally throwing away the two lippies with broken cases I mentioned.  I am still sad about it, but it's time to go as they're so old (I have no idea when I got them!), and with the cracked lids for so long too they're not really very hygienic now!

• Barry M- Colour change lipstick in Genie:  A bit retro I know!  I actually do like these, they're quite balmy and they leave a nice pink stain to the lips that stays put for quite a while.  I will probably replace them, or at least one, at some point in the future, because I do use them fairly regularly and will miss them.  Genie is green, but turns a bright pink .
• Barry M- Colour change lipstick in Unicorn: Looks yellow, but goes on a lighter pink, though still bright.
  

INS

Ordered, but not arrived yet, but counting this month as that's when the money went out.

• Kerastase-Blond-Absolu-Cicaplasme-150ml: Serum to seal split ends, smooth and treat damaged hair, heat protectant and protects colour too.  My hair has been AWFUL for a while now, and this is what my hairdresser recommended, but she told me to buy it online as it's expensive in store, so I have faith she wasn't just selling me products, since she didn't actually get any of the money I paid for it!  I will have a few more expensive ins for hair once I run out of my current shamp/cond, I am planning on buying fancier ones to see if it helps.
• Pureology Colour Fanatic 200ml:  leave in conditioner spray.  My hair is needing some extra love, it has been feeling so dry, crispy and brittle.  This one is meant to be great, not too heavy, but it seals in the moisture which is what I need. Will be using regular conditioner still, and then this to seal it all in.  Hope it helps!

Foamie Body Wash Bar - this was a scrubbie one with bits of apricot kernel in , lovely and lathery and non drying but they just don't last long enough for the price.

I have cleaned out some make up and GA 2 eyeshadow quads, 1 lipstick, 1 mascara and 1 lip gloss on Olio.
Also GA a bottle of body oil I received from a panel a while back for testing.

I can’t possibly post my list of makeup & toiletries, it’s obscenely long, like a small shop, but an expensive shop it’s all high end.  What I must do it stop buying new things until I am at least on the last bottle/tube/jar of something.  

So I’ll just update this as I hit pan & use up :-) bonus points for using all of a type of thing up!!!

I really like the Garnier Oil in Micellar (the orange / yellow one, NOT the blue one) @Clutterbug07 for removing my makeup - bonus that it comes in a massive bottle and you can usually find it on offer somewhere.

Welcome @Kim_kim - don't worry, most of us have more products than we can list here too!

Had a flurry of UU this weekend again:

Byoma Face Mist - this wasn't too bad, didn't really notice anything amazing from it and the spray was a little harsh from time to time but was ok.  Gone back to my trusty LRP Serozinc.

Innisfree Jeju Orchid Eye Cream - this lasts for ages as the pot is huge and it's nice a soothing on the eye but doesn't really blow me away.  Replaced with a deluxe sample size of the biossance eye cream which I remember liking last time I tried but not sure if it's enough to make me want to purchase the full size.  This is also the last eye cream I have possession of so will have to start looking around to see what I want to purchase next.

Jordan Samuel Skin The Aftershow Treatment Cleanser - this is my HG cleanser I think.  Replaced with the travel size that I've had opened a while and have a full size ready to go after that.

Yes to Grapefruit Unicorn Mud Mask - this was a freebie in something and I can see why as it didn't really spread out and I just ended up washing it straight off my skin. WDNBA.

Also used up a couple more of the mini bayliss and harding things from my advent calendar in the bath yesterday also.

Welcome @Kim_kim

UU this weekend, Beauty Pie Plantastic Micropeeling Super Drops. I've had this for a while and I felt it lost some of its' effectiveness over time but still a good product and gentle on skin so WBA.

It is gentle and works well with other products and I often mix into my cream. My skin isn't sensitive but I feel it would be good for sensitive skins.

Welcome @Kim_kim.  We've been here a long time and seen many things!  LOL. 

I hit pan on another shadow this morning: Urban Decay Venus from the Naked Basics palette. 

I am hopeful of finishing my Pure night cream before month out but I think that will be it.
