    UU Palmers Cocoa Butter. If I could buy this in a tub I would repurchase. The packagibg made it difficult to get peoduct out. Have a Bath & Body Works Coconut Waikiki body lotion to replace this.

    • Revolution Hydrate & Fix Fixing Spray 100ml: Like this one, am sure I'll go back to it at some point. Enjoying the Elf one so far
    • Nizoral Anti-dandruff Shampoo - 60ml: Well, I have no dandruff, so that's good.  Whether it's doing anything to help with hair fall I don't know
    • The Body Shop- Shower cream in Avocado: Did not like the smell of this, though it was lovely and creamy.  Repurposed the last bits as hand wash
    • Kerastase Masque Spécifique 15ML free sample: Lasted 3 uses.  Don't think it did anything special for my hair, and I didn't like the scent, so I wouldn't purchase this.

    INS
    When my snail mucin & Skin1004 serum arrived there was a LOAD of free samples in there I didn't know I was getting, including a whole sheet mask!  Before, I'd have been happy to get them, but tbh I'm not hugely thrilled to have the clutter.

    • Farm Stay- Real Aloe Vera Essence mask
    • Sample sachet - IUNIK Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum x 2
    • Sample sachet - IUNIK Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Vitalising Toner
    • Sample sachet - SomeByMi - AHA BHA PHA 30 Day Miracle Acne Clear Foam

    Also, public service announcement- the Boots Skin Clear Cleanser with salicylic acid 145ml is NOT a cleanser- it's a toner. Very annoying.  I didn't want an exfoliating toner, Boots, I wanted a CLEANSER. Grrrrr.

    Another UU Sample size Benefit Porefessional Primer. Not a fan of how this feels on my skin. Moving onto using Clarins Flash Balm as primer.

    Haven't had a pan since April and then bam- I've had 3 in June!  Another surprise pan yesterday in my Bperfect Antidote Palette - Pretty Peachy, a lovely bright almost neon pastel orange- fab for blending out and 'cut crease' area for a pop of colour.

    UU Q&A Grapefruit cleanser. HG product.  I use this to remove makeup. Have replacement in stash.

    I gave away a nail polish to a friend at work - Zoya Patrice. I dont like textured polish anymore.

    I have purchased some replacement cuticle oils. Am trying a different Etsy Seller for these and have ordered 3 Lucky Dip items.  Am also going to order some Bath & Body Works handwashes as they are on offer at the moment too.

    Am really enjoying the Clarins Flash Balm at the moment and my Urban Decay Naked Cyber palette that Ive put in rotation for June.

    Products in my PP List are going down slowly however think ill see the end of my face creams by the end of this week.

    Coupla INS for me

    • Moroccanoil Texture Spray- Mini: wanted to give this a try on my fine hair and didn't want to pay for the big bottle (expensivo!) till I knew if I liked it.  We shall see!
    • Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Oil Control Setting Powder - Translucent: current one has a big pan, so as I was in Boots anyway I picked it up now ready.

    3 items out so far in June.

    Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter (Elemis) - a supersize and as much as it is lovely to use, I got bored in the end. Would use if part of a collection but wouldn't buy seperately.
    Uber Youth Ampules (Beauty Pie) - a good skin boost that includes retinol, vitamin c and other stuff I can't remember. Might buy again.
    Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm (Elemis) - nice but prefer the original (and especially the limited edition but discontinued Watermint sob! sob!).

    Ins are

    These were Cult Beauty sale buys:
    Antioxidant Treatment Emulsion (Jordan Samuel Skin)
    3T Complex - Anti-Ageing Cream (Zelens)

    Caroline Hirons Travel kit:
    High Tide Water Cream with Australian River Mint (Alpha H)
    25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum (Paula's Choice)
    Hydrating Accelerator (Josh Rosebrook)
    Renaissance Cleansing Gel (Oskia)


    Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without

    Yesterday i finished OPI Malaga Wine mini lacquer. Love this colour. I have 31 mini bottles and I think I have another Malaga Wine in there. Would repurchase the full size thoufh. Beautiful classic burgundy. Have replaced this with OPI Strawberry Waves Forever.

    My cuticle oils arrived yesterday. Am going to gift one to a friend at work for her birthday next week. Will try one later.
