Realised I hadn't updated so far this month and have had a few UUs over the last 2 weeks:

Lush Liberation Bath Bomb - loved the scent on this and message behind the product.  WBA if I needed another bath bomb.

Lush Sticky Dates Bath Bomb - liked the scent, liked the effect in the bath, didn't like the mess it left in the bath although it was quite easy to clean 

ELF Power Grip + Niacinamide Primer Mini - HG primer, love this and will continue to buy the smaller sizes as you get more product in 2 of these than 1 of the full size for the same price.  Have replaced with a freebie sample I had of their new Powergrip Matte, which isn't too bad, but not as good for me as this one.

The Body Shop Peppermint Foot Scrub - love this, have repurchased over and over.  Need to pick up another one tomorrow when I'm near a TBS

Lush Infrawig Gel - loved the scent of this and it gave a light hold to my curls in my hair.  However went through it pretty quickly so I'm trying something else to see if I can get more bang for my buck, otherwise I might just have to suck it up and go back to this.

Skin & Me Treatment - have a replacement ready to go but instead I'm using up a mini of the Biossance Lactic Acid serum as my "treatment / active" in my routine.

Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum - I like this, but I think I love the Byoma brightening serum more so have replaced it with the mini Byoma I was using on my recent trip

Grown Alchemist Age Repair Hand Cream - picked this up ages ago in TK Maxx and it was quite nice but I wouldn't buy it at full price.  Have replaced with a mini L'Occitane Shea hand cream that I got as a gift

Corsodyl Active Gum Repair Toothpaste - Have to use this, notice a difference when I don't.  Replaced with same

Lush Minamisoma Shower Oil - I really liked this and the ease of use, the scent and how it left my skin feeling.  However went through it very quickly for the price so have gone back to the Garnier Mango bodyfood.

Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Nail Spray - use this when I'm painting my toes especially to stop them smudging so much.  Have replaced with the last one I had in my stash

IT Cosmetics CC Matte Cream - this is a sad UU, this was my HG base product but they've reformulated it and it's now no where near as good judging by the sample I picked up at a counter a few months ago.  I managed to find one of the good version on Vinted as a backup but it appears to be lost somewhere in my house.  So I really need to find that sooner rather than later!


I also have a few IN's to report as I've been buying things ready for my upcoming holiday / replacements for things that are almost done:

La Roche Posay Serozinc - everyday toner

La Roche Posay Anthelios Dry Touch Gel Cream SPF 50+ - HG SPF, especially in the sunnier weather

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel (this is the super large size and was on crazy sale on Amazon)
Garnier UV Mist (for over makeup)

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (I took the stopper out of my old one and it's now impossible to travel with - hoping to have it finished before we go away though, or very close to it)

Saie Glowy Supergel - use this everyday, bought the bigger one while it was on sale and I can keep the remainder of my smaller one for my holiday

Max Factor Honey Nude Eyeshadow (use everyday as a base shade and my current one just crumbled in the pan)

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Waterproof Mascara - the only mascara that I trust in the Florida heat and humidity (and my current mascara is almost done anyway) 

So basically I bought a bunch of things to take away with me and it means I should hopefully have a bunch of delayed empties in October.  There's also lots of things spluttering / a lot of pan showing so we may have a bonanza of empties in August at this rate!

VALM

UU Too Faced eyeshadow called Crisp from the Pumpkin Spice palette. Now have 14 items in my Finish 25 in 2025 list.

Some ins today from boots 

Garnier bb cream - holy grail product I stopped wearing foundation during covid 

The Ordinary hyaluronic acid serum 

Soap & Glory Vanilla-licious Body Lotion - this smells amazing I love sweet scents 

itsthelittlethings

In - two tea tree moisturisers, one from Asda and one from Superdrug for underboobage. It really works in the heat. They were both only about £3. Two primers, one from No 17 at £18 (grrr, not pleased with myself), one ELF for £10. Will have to see if the extra money was worth it, I doubt it.


MBA (may buy again) - black seed oil. You may have to get this from a Middle Eastern shop if you want to try it. It smells lovely and is very moisturising but very oily. I think it was about £9. I slather it on and then towel it off. It smells like Morocco.
