    Happy Birthday @Clutterbug07. What lovely gifts.

    I have depotted my Urban Decay 1987 eyeshadow and Houeglass Euphoric Fuaion bluah. Was surprised how little product is left in the blush.

    Happy belated birthday @Clutterbug07 🥳  Funnily enough my one UU from the weekend is the Sol de Janeiro Mini Shower Cream from the same set you got for your birthday.  WNBA, as the scent is a little overpowering for me first thing in the morning (much prefer a more "fresh" scent rather than a gourmand at that time!) but it's still lovely.

    First UU from my PP List - 
    Lacura Cerave dupe cleanser. New HG  Great for second cleanse and a steal at £3.49.

    New list
    Faith in Nature body lotion
    Lacura Jo Malone dupe handcream
    Percy & Reed hair primer
    Skinsense facial oil

    ADDED
    Bondi Sands SPF

    Atelier Cologne Love Osmanthus 10
    Bobbi Brown Clementine6
    MAC Cant Escape This7
    OPI Rice Rice Baby2
    Tarte Coral Blossom4

    Uses noted for my make up items.  @Clutterbug07 before Xmas I watched tonnes of advent calendar unboxings by Miss Beoux on YT and they all seemed to have Bum Bum cream in them. I got the Glossybox calendar which must have been the only one not to contain it.

    Decided to start posting more, not just enjoying what everyone else is using up!

    5 gone so far in 2025
    The After Show Treatment Cleanser - Jordan Samuel Skin
    Tri-Acid Peel - Elemis
    YOUTHBOMB BREAKTHROUGH REPAIR CREAM - Beauty Pie
    Beauty Pie Youthbomb 360° Radiance Concentrate Serum - Beauty Pie
    Antioxidant Treatment Emulsion - Jordan Samuel Skin

    Loving Jordan Samuel Skin stuff right now - a small range but everything I have tried is beautiful. Not many fancy smells but the stuff is lush anyway. Would buy again and would definitely recommend     <3

    My stash is down to 109 items from a high of 265 in April 2022.

    I aim to have one item in use, one ready to use next and one spare (I really tried to make this one in use and one spare only but I'm taking baby steps  o:)).

    My lowest since (my) records began was 104, so nearly back there again, which is good.

    However, Caroline Hirons will have a new kit out in February, which is my downfall (for buying the kit and then discovering new brands that I want to try more of). I know I will be severely tempted by it. But I will honestly try to convince myself that I don't need it.

    Another one bites the dust...

    Gentle Face Exfoliator - Liz Earle

    I used to love this product when younger but now my skin really doesn't like physical exfoliators. Glad it is gone enough to let it go.

    @Hodgepodge I love Jordan Samuel Skin too.  Makes me sad that they've discontinued the original after show cleanser as that was my HG cleanser for almost 10 years (yes I've been using it pretty much since it launched in the US) 😢

    I debated whether to buy that cleanser or not, as I hadn't tried it by the time it was being discontinued. I didn't want to fall in love with a cleanser that was going but I also didn't want to have never tried it.
    I'm glad I did, as it is beautiful.
    I'd be first on the list if it was ever brought back!
