Surprisingly, I finished the MAC Princess Jasmine eyeshadow today. Decided to wear it foiled for a change. Still not a winner but it's gone. Will swap Colourpop Garden Date into my PP List as it's another depotted one.

Yay, well done on finishing that eyeshadow!

@dolly84 thanks for the new thread!

PP list for 2023- picked 23 for 23, so 6 down already!

1. Haruharu WONDER - Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner- using as a body toner, v drying for my face.
2. Simple Protect 'N' Glow Radiance Booster SPF30
   
3. BIG Tresemme shampoo: a never ending storrrrrrrrr-orrry!
4. Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum: not much left- if I make an effort I might finish it this month!
   
5. No 7 Resurfacing Peel: I'm still too scared to use this, even on elbows and knees..... I may just bin it- 15% glycolic sounds like it will destroy me!
6. The Body Shop: Vitamin E Skin Cooling Gel Mist: think this will be good in the spring/summer
7. Tony Moly - The Chok Chok Green Tea Watery Skin toner- will replace Haruharu as my body toner once that one's finished.  It's quite fragranced.
8. The Body Shop- Aloe Calming Toner
9. The Body Shop InstaGlow CC Cream
10. Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner
11. Jackie's Hen Do Lip Balm x 2
12. Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Oil
13. Elf Jelly Pop Glow Stick: nice but I've had it a while and it's a creamy stick, so should use it up
14. LilyLolo Mineral Blush- Beach Babe: for some reason I ordered a few of these over time, clearly not realising I already owned it- *doh* and I don't love the colour that much, so would like at least one gone from my stash
15. LilyLolo Mineral Blush- Goddess: a deeper more rusty rose red colour, doesn't hugely suit me.
    
16. Benefit Gogo Tint: bright cherry lip n cheek tint.  Might last a hundred years as you don't need much of it, and I can't see how much is in the bottle.
17. Sugarpill liquid lipstick- in Trinket:  keep thinking this is almost done.  And then it isn't!

A few UUs so far:

• Revolution Hydrate & Fix Fixing Spray 100ml: I like this one, and it's large so lasts a few months (I use it every day).  Sadly they didn't have it when I went in store the other week, so I have the Elf one again
• The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5%: I like this product- is an antioxidant that is meant to help boost collagen.  It is quite orangey and thick in consistancy, almost a little oily- so if that’s not your thing, don't get this!  I have pycnogenol in my Mad About Skin antioxidant cream so I wont be repurchasing the Ordinary standalone for now

Throw away

• Sugarpill- Pressed eyeshadow in Arsenic: A chartruesey green, but it has never had the colour pay off I wanted- I feel like it vanishes on the skin.  PLUS, it's patchy af- I just retried it again twice recently and I was not happy with the performance either time.  I'd put it on and it was like it wiped itself off and left a giant patch that nothing would then stick to!  I don't need that in my life, so this is going.

The decluttering continues, today I've got rid of my UD Naked pallette, I've taken, Naked, Buck and Toasted out and got rid of the rest.  I've been using Sin recently and it just isn't working for me.  I've also got rid of a mini Bobbi Brown GWP pallette which had a blush and 3 eyeshadows in, the blush didn't show up on my skin, one of the eyeshadows was the same, another eyeshadow was super dark and not a good look for me.  The midtoned taupe eyeshadow from it I have kept.

Another two UU:

Ren Rose Body Lotion. WBA. Nice scent and texture, not a big fan of the pump bottle

Jo Malone Red Roses Perfume. WBA. Love this

• Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Oil Control Setting Powder- Translucent:  Multiple repurchases of this product, love it!  Already had one in the stash ready to go- but in Natural Ivory rather than the Translucent one I normally buy- it was an emergency purchase I had to make at Kings Cross station a few months back as I was going away for the weekend, realised I'd forgot my face powder and Natural Ivory was all they had in the Boots!

IN from the other day:

• E45 Cream- 125g tub:  have a bit of irritation on my neck, not sure what from, but I needed something bland and soothing.  This is a replacement for my old tub of E45 that I'd had to throw away as it was well past expiry.  This time round I got the smaller tub to hopefully avoid that in the future!

Currently have covid (second time round for my husb and I), but I'm still trying to do my skincare as I think it makes me feel a little better and fresher.  It's deffo not as bad as the first time round which is great- the first time was awful, but this is a bit milder.  It's still ruined some Easter plans we had which is a bummer, but I'm sure some chill time will do us good as well.  

Anyone have any fun Easter plans?

VALM

Sorry you are unwell @Clutterbug07.  Touch wood, I've only had Covid once which was in August 2021 and I was bed bound for a  week.  Hope you feel better soon.  I believe chocolate does help. Lol.  No plans at all for Easter.  Our daughter is currently travelling and not due back until June so it will be quiet.  Just glad for the time off work.

I hit pan in a blush today - MUA Cupcake.  I bought this as a dupe for Tarte Exposed and then managed to get hold of Exposed.  I do however prefer Cupcake though I think it's more shimmery than Exposed.  I like wearing Cupcake as an eyeshadow too.

Finished my sample of Replica On a Date this morning. This is gorgeous and will be on the Christmas list.

Morning all.  Sorry to hear that your not well @Clutterbug07 - second time round of Covid for me was almost as bad as the first so hoping you're not experiencing the same!

Had a quiet weekend but did have a couple of UU's to report:

Bayliss and Harding Wild Fig mini body lotion - all done with the body lotions now, and have moved on to a Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel lotion.  Scent isn't my fave but the lotion seems to be doing a good job.

Patchology The Good Fight Sheet Mask - skin was feeling a little off after being ill over the past couple of weeks to broke this one out for my sheet mask this weekend.  This was full of willow bark and mint and felt very nice on the skin.  I did notice that it helped to calm down the spots that were threatening to break through and my skin looked a lot clearer the next morning so I guess it did something.  Managed to pick this up in TK Maxx for £1.50 rather than the £5 that it should have cost 🤯 so if I see any others when I'm next in there then I'll pick them up.

Good morning everyone.  My weekend was quiet too but just what I needed. 

My Updated PP list for April

Carried forward

For April 

Yorkshire Soap Company Sandalwood soap

OPI Big Bow Energy - mini

OPI Infinite Shine You've Got that Glasglow.

UUS Seche vite top coat and Orly base coat.  I've opened the Essie set that I got from Boots.  Am hopeful that I can actually use all of these up as the other two became too gloopy for an even application of anything.  I also threw away a bottle of OPI polish called Ginger's Revenge which was getting low and I couldn't get an even application of that either.  Have added two bottles of polish to the list above to replace.
