    UUs

    • Boots Anti-Dandruff Ketoconazole 2% w/w Shampoo: Will replace this when I get paid again, money is tight this month and I don't want to do any more spending at Boots if I can help it!
    • Umberto Giannini Banana Butter Nourishing Superfood Conditioner 250ml: I like this conditioner, smells delish! My hair has on occasion been a bit tangly when brushing so it might not be the best, but I'd probs repurchase
    • L'Oreal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer 24H - 325 Cool Rose: This clung on for ages, but this morning I finally called it quits- will be nice not to have to scrape out my concealer for a while. 🤣 Had already bought the replacement!

    And I hit a pan in my Ace Beaute - Tropical Vibes Palette, in shade Oahu, which is a lovely olive green matte. V nice outer corner shade.

    1 UU to report

    Special Cleansing Gel (mini) - Dermalogica wnba A nice gentle gel cleanser but didn't wow me. There are other gel cleansers (I'm looking at you, Beauty Pie Happy Face No-Stress Jelly Cleanser…) that I much prefer.

    Fessing up time… I've rather lost the plot this month and bought A LOT of eyeshadow! One palette (Simply Posh - Down to Earth palette), and 10 single eyeshadows in various citrusy colours….. I don't have much of an excuse apart from some stressy things going on irl and I wanted them. All anyone is doing these days is cool-toned palettes and I didn't trust anyone to come out with the citrus palette I wanted, so I bought all the singles to make my own.

    My goals for the year included purchasing only two eyeshadow palettes, and this is the first palette I've bought this year, so I am doing ok on that front so far. Single shadows on the other hand, I'd set a maximum of 4, so I have gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over that one.

    Before the splurge I'd only spent £28.40 this month on toiletries, so I had been doing really well. 🤦‍♀️
