@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. 

You can get a discount on Percy & Reed via Liz Earle Wellbeing.

Had to throw away my Lacura Eye Cream today, I think its causing me to have a sore swollen eyelid, I'm unsure if its that, or eye makeup but process of elimination... I'll hold off repurchasing any other eye cream until my eye heals up

Ooh, thanks for the suggestions @VALM and @Hodgepodge - I'll have to check that one out!

@lianne1984 oh no, that's no fun at all!  And I know, cos it happened to me last month- my eyelids went all swollen and also very itchy- it was awful!!  Could it be seasonal allergies?  For me I think it was covid weakening immune system causing my hayfever to go haywire.  But I too want to bin the eyecream I had been using- was the Facetheory one which has a small amount of lactic acid in. Sounds far too harsh when I'm trying to treat them gently- I'm using a basic Simple one now.  In the end I had to go to the doctor and got some strong antihistamines and a hydrocortisone cream.  Also, I had to go into the office for two weeks WITH NO EYE MAKEUP ON- it was traumatising!

I don't think it's allergies, because it's only on my eyelids... after looking at it properly this morning, it actually looks to be where I apply my eye makeup, so I'm now wondering if it's my eye shadow or brush... I'm going to throw the brush out and start using something different, I really hope it isn't my eyeshadow because it's a huge pallete that I adore. But we shall see!!

Forgot I actually have some UUs to mention too!

• Palmer's® Coconut Oil Leave- In Conditioner 250ml: Apparently I bought this in Sept 2021!   Since I started actually using this (after shampoo and regular conditioner), my hair has felt in a nicer condition- WBA.  I already have a new leave in conditioner, but the spray on it is a bit rubbish despite being a much more expensive one, so again I'm going to decant into this bottle I think.
• Nina Ricci Travel mini- 4ml: Love this perfume, wba.  Have a load more, as I bought like a set of 12 or something a while back.

Throw Away

• Facetheory - Ocuwake Eye Cream EYE1 with Chamomile, Vitamin C and Liquorice: yeah I'm doing it, binning this one.  Too scared to use this now after my eye allergy thing as I think it would probably be too harsh.  Tis a shame, it was a nice eyecream, but I want to keep things gentle on my eyes till I know it's not gonna come back!

IN

• Lush Seanik shampoo bar:  for hollibobs.  Less liquid to carry and it's lighter than a bottle of shampoo.
