  • My list for April:

    1)Beauty Pie flash face lift super drops serum. I'm a fan of serums but I stopped using this as it did nothing for me currently using it in the morning to use it up. WNBA
    2) fuzzy duck hand cream NBI: - another gift from 2 years ago part of a 3 set I will get through them! These never end! 
    3) Vera Wang princess perfume NBI: - I stopped using perfume when I got pregnant and was breastfeeding, will start again now, still smells nice so will use everyday again WBA. 
    4) 2x J'adore eau de parfum infinissime
    5) 1x Giorgio Armani Si Eau de Parfum Intense

    UU Beauty Pie super healthy skin deluxe body moisture creme. Finished! Need to select a replacement from the bathroom cupboard 
  • Two UUs from my PP list!

    • I'm from - Mugwort Essence:   Woohoo, finally used up a toner on my face, after all the skin issues last year.  Aside from hydration, I don't think this did a lot.  It did feel nice and plump.  I probably wouldn't repurchase, as I want to keep my routine minimal-ish, and therefore I would want something that does a bit more.
    • DR. CEURACLE Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence: Expired during my skin allergy year last year, so used up on my body.  I do love this, it's so moisturising and feels lovely- plus I like having a green tea product in my routine, I would definitely repurchase again.  Might wait till autumn/winter to do so as I probably wont need the extra help in summer.  Or I'll get it sooner......  We'll see  :D


    PP list- 24 for 24: 9 gone so far!

    1)      Tony Moly - The Chok Chok Green Tea Watery Skin toner: tbh I think the TM toner is actually gone, as I kept topping up the bottle with other toners!  But since I called the toners I used to top up the bottle the empties, and not the TM one, I will say that I still have this to use up.  I wont refill now, and then when finished the bottle I can finally call the TM toner an empty!

    2)      Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Oil- I WILL use this this year!!

    3)      Benefit Gogo Tint: bright cherry lip n cheek tint.  Probs will last a hundred years!

    4)      Sugarpill loose eyeshadow in Absinthe:  A sparkly green, of which I have many.

    5)      Sugarpill loose eyeshadow in Penelope:  a super reflective metallic copper with extra large particles. Too flakey and annoying, and not really my colour.

    6)   Barry M eyeshadow pot in 44:  a copper shimmer

    7)   Ample N Ceramide Shot Ampoule:   expired, will use on body.

    8)   Mad About Skin antioxidant cream:  expired, will use on body.

    9)   DERMATORY - Hypoallergenic Cica Gel Cream 50ml

    10)   NEOGEN - Dermalogy White Truffle Serum In Oil Drop

    11)   Benton - Deep Green Tea Toner: expired, will use on body.

    12)   The Body Shop- Body Yogurt in Strawberry

    13)   MAC Black Cherry Glow Play Lipbalm:  bought in 2021.... probably should use this up now!

    14)   Skin1004 Brightening ampoule toner: used this on my neck for a few weeks before Christmas and no adverse reaction, so might attempt this on my actual face soon!!

    15)   The Body Shop hand cream in Winter Jasmine

    COSRX - Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

    No 7 Hydraluminous lipbalm in Coral

    Lilylolo lipstick in Love Affair

    Isntree - Onion Newpair Essence Toner

    Collection - Gloss Me Up lipgloss in Pink Fizz

    LilyLolo Mineral Blush- Goddess

    Collection- Gloss Me Up lipgloss in Lychee
    DR. CEURACLE Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence

    Another UU M&S handwash. This was disappointing. In the end it became quite watery and I tipped the remains into a bath.

    I have made some purchases. Q&A is on 3for2 on Holland & Barrett at the moment. I am nearly out of my Grapefruit cleanser so ordered 2 of these and their Glycholic toner. Will swap thus for the LE one in the am and use the LE in the pm.

    QVC have an ABC TSV so ive ordered it to re-stock. Will be opening my last bottle soon and we all use this.

    • L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Freshwear foundation- ivory (20): My fave, and I think this is the best shade for me. Repurchased this the other week.
    • Nina Ricci- 2 x sample sprays: Love these perfumes. Have had full size previously.

    INs
    • Tesco Nail Polish Remover- Acetone free - 250ml: replacement- my current one is running low
    • W7 Total Wipeout nail polish remover- Acetone free 150ml: smaller one to take and leave at the inlaws.
    • Sure 72H anti-perspirant- 75ml: small for travel as we'll be away shortly
    • Unearthly Cosmetics- Fairy Frolic eyeshadow palette: 9 pan palette.  I have wanted this for a long time, and they had it at 50% off- as it came from America, I finally caved!  Its a stunning autumnal colour story, absolutely beautiful!
    • Unearthly Cosmetics- lipgloss in Moss:  Sparkly lip gloss, and the sparkles themselves are moss green- I had to try it.  :D Over earthy colour lip-shades it looks great!  A bit of an off-the-wall choice but I thought it would be fun!

    I have finished another eyeshadow - Morphe Lolli from the Ring The Alarm palette. It was a vibrant pink colour. I had another depotted shadow from this palette called Secret which is a matte burgundy colour. Ive decided to throw this away as I wasnt reaching for it. 

    Am going to work on another MAC shadow bext called Made My Fortune.

    Threw away a nail polish - OPI Kreme de la Kremlin. Is very old and I just didnt like the colour anymore.

    Im working hard on the Laura Geller lipgloss and want it gone this month too.  Also my makeup staples of primer, concealer and tinted moisturiser are capable of being finished shortly.

  • A few more UUs
    • AMPLE: N - Ceramide Shot Ampoule [100ml]: from my PP list.  Expired in Dec so I used it up on my body.  Probably wouldn't repurchase again.
    • La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 - 100ml:  Repurchased this the other week.
    • Umberto Giannini Grow Mask Hair and Scalp Treatment: Nice mask, I like the smell.  As I don't rub it into my scalp (thin oil-prone hair so conditioner on the roots is not the best), I don't need a 'grow' mask really.  Might treat myself to the Body Shop banana hair mask next, although it is £18 a tub which is off-putting.  We shall see what I go for!
