Throw away (I think)

• Eco Warrior Moisturising Boys & Girls Shaving Bar - Bergamot & Lime Essential Oils: Not actually sure where this went, it seems to have gone awol in the move.  If I remember, it was fairly done, so I'll call it.  I liked this a lot, WBA

IN

• Garnier Micellar Water Facial Cleanser For Sensitive Skin 400ml: current one is almost finished. 

OUT

• Mad About Skin - Gentle Jelly Cleanser: Love this cleanser, so creamy.  Already repurchased.

I've been watching a lot of project panning and that kind of youtube content recently, and it made me curious about my own collection, so I did a bit of counting yesterday. Oh boy.

Totals:
Blush: 18
Highlighter: 8
Single Eyeshadows: 56 (6 bought this year....)
Eyeshadow palettes: 15 (6 of these I bought this year....)

I have 271 pannable eyeshadows and 11 pans so far, which is 4% pan ratio.  The bulk of my single shadows are loose pigment, so not "pannable", only finishable- otherwise I think I would definitely have more pans. 

I'm not going to actively try to pan my eyeshadow palettes though, I think I would rather work on reducing the number of single shadows I have, as I have many similar shades.  Although one of my palettes is the Urban Decay Heavy Metals which I have had for who knows how long, and I barely ever use it, so I do plan to try and use it a little more, although I am also tempted to just declutter it as it is so old.

UU

• Garnier Micellar Water Facial Cleanser For Sensitive Skin 400ml
• Geek & Gorgeous - aPAD serum:  Not sure this did very much.  Lets see if I start getting more spots or redness once I stop using it, as azaleic acid is meant to help with that.

Morning all, back from a week's holiday and ended up decanting most of my products so not a lot of UU's to report:

Lush Big Blue Bath Bomb: haven't used this for ages and forgot how much I loved it.

Lush Twilight Bath Bomb: an old fave also 

Soap and Glory Righteous Butter mini: took this away with me and managed to work my way through when I could be bothered to moisturise.

Wild Deodorant refill: like this as a day to day.  On to the last one in the stash so have put in an order for next week for the next set of refills

L'Oreal Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara: HG daily mascara.  But I have been using a sample of the Rare Beauty one which may be better....

Patchology Rose Fizz Eye Patches: liked these when getting ready on holiday.  Wouldn't use all the time but nice for those pampering getting ready moments.

Lots of things are spluttering but not sure they'll be gone in the next couple of days.

Have also been looking at a lot of panning content @Clutterbug07 and feeling motivated to actually try and get through more of my makeup (she says without actually wearing any for the last few days 😆)

UU Percy & Reed Mirror Mirror Shine serum. Apart from the dry shampoo I have found all P&R products Ive tried to be underwhelming!  

We have 2 days left and I dont think ill finish anything else.

I did but 2 makeup items at weekend. Picked up the highlighter wand from ALDI (Charlotte Tilbury duoe) and got a GXVE Original Recipe lipgloss from TK MAXX on clearance for £5!

A surprising UU because I didnt think I was so close - MAC Paint pot in Painterly. I have been applying the ladt bits with a brush. Do have a back up. Have a Colourpop "paint pot" that i would like to work on next in the colour Flagstaff which is a rich reddish brown. Will see if i can use it as a base.

A few final Throw Aways for the month:

• Elf Mineral Blush in Bliss:  So, I knew these were old, but I found my email receipt for it- 2011.  It was in my stash, unused, and I definitely do not want to put this on my face now that I realise just how old it is!
• Elf Mineral Blush in Rose: These are all from that same blush order.  Amusingly these cost £2.10
• Elf Natural Radience Blush in Glow: a peachy colour
  
• Elf Natural Radience Blush in Glow: for some reason I ordered two of these and then barely used one....
  
• Elf Natural Radiance Blush in Flushed: A nice pink shade, I did used to like this one.  And these cost £0.90!!
  

Month tallies

• IN: 10  (because of my two Shroud palettes this came to £130.73 so I did spend quite a lot- without them it would have been a more reasonable £54.93)
• OUT: 25 (8 TA, 17 UU)
• Balance:  15 gone from my collection :-)

Last UU i think is my Too Faced Hot Toddy Melted Matte lip lacquer.  I knew it was getting low because i was having to keep re-applynubg for one application but that caused pilling so im calling it done. That finishes all the ones i got in a holiday set. I now only own a Gingerbread one.

That brings my total to 15 OUT. I bought 8 iitems, 6 of which were replacements. The otger 2 items were makeup items bought on a whim both of which were under £5 and ill enjoy using tgem on holiday.
