    One more has gone

    B. Cleansing Balm Rosehip Superdrug wba I bought a set of mini cleansing balms so I could try them out. I was very impressed by the first one I tried, especially as I am not a huge rosehip fan. It removed make-up and spf with ease and I really loved using it.

    A big family wedding necessitated a few INS.

    Revolution Skin Silk Glow Tint Skin Foundation stick - I'd tried DD1's Charlotte Tilbury unreal skin sheer glow foundation stick when visiting London earlier in the year, loved the product but as I'm pretty minimal with makeup I was reluctant to buy the pricey CT, so bought the Revolution dupe, worked perfectly fine on the day, which turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year, think this will become a new favourite.

    Massive bottle of Nivea Q10 firming body lotion - this was reduced in Boots to less than 1/2 price. I wanted something for my upper arms, I only got it the week before the wedding, I do think it improved the skin texture, or perhaps it was just the consistent exfoliating, and fake tan. I'll continue to watch for improvement.

    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!

    @shandyclover Thanks for this - I'm looking for a foundation stick and the Revolution one sounds right up my street.

    Also, I love the Nivea Q10 Firming body lotion - especially the fragrance 😍

    I bought the one that is actually a 1 shade darker than my skin tone, it blends out beautifully to make it look like I've just got a bit of summer sun, very lightweight and easy to wear :)

    June was not a bad month for me with 12 items out and 7 in

    So overall my stash has reduced by 5 - better than going up 😂
