A few unexciting UUs this morning-  they're all categories I use frequently, and already had replacements in the stash from the end of last year as I knew they were running low:

• Batiste Dry Shampoo - Medium & Brunette 200ml
• L’Oréal Extraordinary Clay shampoo for oily hair 400 ml: replacement is something else, but a shampoo is a shampoo. It was alright, but wouldn't go out of my way to get it again- I had to buy this at Notino as Boots didn't stock it.
• Garnier Micellar Water Oil Infused Facial Cleanser For Waterproof Makeup 400ml

One IN, that I actually bought this time!

• L'Oréal Elvive Bond Repair Conditioner 150ml: Current one is feeling light, so got the replacement whilst I was in Boots

Couple more UU this morning:

Calvin Klein Deep Euphoria Perfume - this was a mini that I had from goodness knows when.  WNBA, was ok but not my favourite type of scent.

Yves Rocher Perfume Sample - Saw this only had like 1 spritz left in it so added it on today after the CK.  Don't know why I was hanging on to this, again was ok but not my favourite.  

Now back to using the Sol de Janeiro mini body spray.  Have a Bath and Body Works body spray to use up too before I need to buy an everyday perfume again.  So that will be like June time at the earliest probably.

Have also realised I have yet to buy any beauty products yet this year and I'm pretty sure I can make it through to the end of the month at least before I have to buy anything 🤞

UU Lacura Lavender bath soak. This is gorgeous. Will repurchase tomorrow.

Sweed mascara. Was in my advent calendar. It had big shoes to fill! Really dont think anything can beat Benefit Badgal for me. Have one Lacura dupe in stash.

Another cuticle oil pen UU. One left in srash and then an Essie bottke of oil to use before repurchasing.

I bought some more bath soak today and a tub of Lacura Q10 day cream. I am using my very last moisturiser and I thought ALDI were releasing the Weleda dupe this week (which Im using at the moment) however it was not there.

Couple more UU's to report:

Bare Minerals Mineral Veil Mini - forgot that I had this sample size which for being small, lasted quite a while.  Have another one the same size but have put that in the travel box ready for a personal-item only trip I'm taking next month.  Have replaced with the Laura Mercier loose powder.

La Roche Posay Serozinc - this is a HG, can notice the difference when I don't have it, shame they stopped making the travel size as have to just go for the plain thermal water as it's difficult to decant from the big size.  Replaced with another one I had in the stash.

And I have a TA:

M&S Glow Day Cream with SPF25 - this isn't a moisturiser, its just a very liquid SPF.  I got it in the advent calendar and is only a mini one so don't feel too bad about getting rid of it.  It just wasn't working for my oily skin.  Back to the ELF Hydragel which is the last one in my stash.  

Have a couple of things that I think might be finished in the next few days so will leave it a little longer before declaring for the month, but so far think the year is starting off quite well!

UU

• Lumizela Azelaic Acid Serum A10 with 10% Azelaic Acid, Colloidal Oat and Green Tea: I like this serum- it's hard to find a good percentage of azelaic acid, esp one that’s also in a soothing base of green tea and colloidal oat! There was an offer on when I originally bought this so I got 2 at the time, so will open the one in my stash- no need to currently re-buy.

IN

• Boots Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover 200ml: bought this as my current one is running low.
• M&S Sea Salt & Neroli eau de toilette: belated Secret Santa gift from my fam (we celebrated and exchanged gifts on Saturday)- it smells really lovely, was my favourite from the travel sets I got last year.
• Mary & May Vegan Blackberry Complex Cream Essence- travel size: Wanted to try this, was on my Christmas list, so very lovely of my Secret Santa!
• Sample Sachet- Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++: Santa said that these came free with the travel size essence.
• Sample Sachet- Tocobo Collagen Brightening Eye Gel Cream: ditto.

I do have a bit more Birthday/Christmas money, so at some point I may spend this on toiletries or makeup, but not this month now!    I'm almost out of my snail mucin and hair thickifier, so I might use it on that!

And I might take all my sample sachets into work and see if anyone wants them, I just don't use them- it's not enough to find out if a product works, and with my skin reactivity the other year I don't want to risk it tbh!

AND I finally hit a pan on one of my eyeshadows- Bperfect Antidote Palette in the colour Sable, a mossy dark green.
