@lianne1984 Welcome,

I threw away a nail polish today Germanicure by OPI as it had gone gloopy. Also UUed the mini OPI Big Bow Energy which is in my PP List.

i thought I had to throw away yet another tin of TBS Chamomile Cleansing Butter because the tin got jammed shut again.  MRM eventually managed to prise it open but not before I had placed an order for a new cleanser from Q&A.  This one is in a tube. I ordered their anti aging night cream too and will receive GWP of a body lotion. I hope I like it as I don’t want to purchase the TBS one any more.

Have you tried The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm? I used to be a regular user of TBS Cleansing Butter until I came across The Inkey List and I've been using that for a couple of years now, I prefer it plus it's cheaper. Maybe worth a try if you haven't already

Oat Cleansing balm is really good!


UU - Drunk Elephant Glycolic Night Serum 30 ml. Another one from Caroline Hirons box, a really good product. Makes my skin brighter and works very quickly. Not sure I can/buy for the price as it doesn't really last long.

@lianne1984 I have tried The Inkey List Cleanser but can't remember why I didn't like it. Does it foam? 

I do love The Inkey List Niacinamide serum, Retinol serum and the C50 Blemish serum. I did use their Caffeine eye cream but have recently been won over by a Eycerin one.

Body Shop Chamomile Cleansing Butter - have replaced it with another tin.  I've never had a lid jam on me, sometimes I put it on and off a couple of times before it just feels right.

They do a few different cleansers, but the Oat Cleansing Balm is lovely, it doesn't foam, I really like the consistency.

More UUs

No7 Hydraluminous Foundation - This is an HG For me and great value for money as it is often on offer too. However, I'm reading some reviews about formula/shade change and I don't know if it will be the same. I have a lot of these in my stash so haven't purchased them for a while. 

Estee Lauder - Perfectly Clean Foam Cleanser: I don't really like/use foam cleansers but this was different. It doesn't leave my skin dry and does a good job to take off light make up too. It is also great value for money. WMBA.

UUs- apparently I am a dry shampoo fiend.  Also, these are boring UUs- no serums, no toners!

• Sure 72H anti-perspirant spray- 250ml- Uplifting and Fresh: repurchased already
• Batiste Dry Shampoo - Medium & Brunette 200ml: love this,  replacement repurchased
  
• Colab Dry Shampoo, Original, 50ml:  My fave one for weekends away/travel.  This didnt have much left so I just used it up- wouldnt have been any good for a weekend away now.
  
• TRESemme Heat Defence Spray- 60ml: I mean this was quite exciting, had this a while, but only recently started regularly using a heat spray.  Nice, good sprayer, WBA.  Already have a fancy one to try though, but the spray on it seems rubbish, so I might decant into this one which sprays a more fine/even mist.

Throw Away

• Natural Extracts Strawberry Lipbalm: Old product, and I was using this over the weekend when the rubbish lip eczema from last month showed up again. :-(  It may or may not be linked, but I'm not using it again!

INS

• Sure Nonstop Protection 72H- Cotton Dry 75mL: travel deo
• Sure 72H anti-perspirant spray- 250ml- Uplifting and Fresh: replacement for above one that ran out
  
• Colab Dry Shampoo, Original, 50ml: for travel
  
• Pampers babywipes- Coconut Pure Protection: replacement
  
• Soltan Once Age Defence 8hr protect SPF 50- 50ml x 2:  replacement for last years one.  It seems to have had a bit of a facelift ("Age Defence" isn't that all SPF!? :loL:)- it's in snazzier packaging.  It was half price, so I got two.

@Clutterbug07 I'm working on an Amika dry shampoo at the moment and it's not great.  My favourite is the Percy & Reed one but it is really expensive so usually go for Batiste.
