    UU

    Body Fantasies Signature Body Spray in Sparkling Pink Grapefruit - I like this scent but I have 3 more to use up from this range.
    Less is the new more :D

    One UU from this afternoon:

    Vichy Ideal Soleil sample WNBA because I can't use it on my face because of some of the ingredients (Dimethicone) and the smell Vichy products have is nauseating. Used this on my neck.

    UU Dove antiperspirant. This used to be a HG product for me, but I now prefer Nivea Pearl & Beauty so I would only buy this if it was super cheap.

    UU Imperial Leather Cosmic Unicorn shower gel - it's shimmery and has a unicorn on the bottle. What's not to like??

    UU Montagne Jeunesse Dead Sea Mud Pac - nice enough, but didn't do anything spectacular.

    asajj - Escentual are very good, I've bought from them numerous times, I think they buy up end of lines.

    Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick - WNBA, I have a love hate relationship with this. The colour match was perfect, it is easy to draw on the face and blends when it is warmed a bit, it looks a bit streaky at first but by the time I've finished my makeup it looks really good, however that only lasts a few hours before it turns patchy and disappears. BB say this is long lasting but it isn't, that coupled with how much you actually get, how quickly it gets used up and the price tag - over £30 I think - it is not worth it.

    [STRIKE]Urban Decay Easy blush from Gwen Stefani palette[/STRIKE]
    MAC Brave lipstick
    Avon eyeshadow (from Warm Cashmere duo)
    Urban Decay Darkhorse eyeshadow from Naked palette
    Wet and Wild Contour duo - yellow powder only
    Benefit Boing concealer
    OPI mini -[STRIKE] Got Myself in a Jambalaya
    [/STRIKE]

    Whilst everything else is plodding on (although the pan is getting bigger in the concealer) I have finished the mini OPI. I applied it on Tuesday night noticing that I got good application on one hand but not the other but then yesterday, in day light, the lacquer looked patchy so I'm considering it done. WNBA. Not a huge fan of pure peach colours. Don't mind a pinky peach though.

    So, as we still have a while left in this challenge I'm going to continue to roll in mini bottles. I picked one randomly from my pile (I now have 19 OPI and 2 Leighton Denny minis left) having thrown away two which were a green colour (remember it being from the OPI Coca Cola collection) and a light lilac (from the Sephora by OPI Glimmer Wonderland collection I bought in 2011! - this always managed to look like Tippex on my nails). The one I'm boing to UU is another Sephora By OPI mini from the above mentioned set called Access 24/7 - a bright pink. It's been stored on it's side and only looks like it has half a bottle left anyway.

    Wanted a change from brights last night though as the weather has become a bit cooler and am wearing today OPI Manicurist of Seville. Love this colour and think I'll keep it in rotation to use up once I've finished my full sized Don't Pretzel My Buttons.

    I did wander into Sally's yesterday and saw that the OPI Grease minis were reduced. I resisted - yay me. Have still not bought anything other than the shampoo and conditioner mentioned the other day and we are on day 16.

    I’m getting a foundation stick in the Malay kit and was hoping it would be good for travel. Will have to give it a good test before we go (assuming it arrives).

    Thank you - I'm waiting for payday and I hope they will still have stock as they only had 14 left when I checked.

    I've listed Urban Decay Full Spectrum palette for sale. Gorgeous colour but I will never use it and I could use the cash. Hope it will be sold.

    Today was hair wash day so was able to use up a few products.

    UUs:

    Aussie winter miracle shampoo - WMBA, this was a shampoo lying around, which I wanted to get rid off to make room in the bathroom. Had a nice creamy texture and lathered nicely but I found my hair matted and clumped together. I'm not sure whether it was the shampoo or whether it was I had removed my extensions.

    Clairol root touch up -2B black colour - HG

    Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 anti perspirant - WBA, pleasant smell and works well.

    Oral B Satin floss tape - HG

    TA:

    Henna Wax conditioner - I couldn't get on with this. Felt that it left a film on my hair. Saw rave reviews about it but did nothing for me. It was available in Poundland so don't feel too bad about throwing it away.

    Benefit Pore Professional - WNB, received in a beauty box years ago. Initially thought it was ok but soon realised it made my face look ghost white.

    TBH I know I'm going overboard this month, but I want to treat myself, we lost our cat two weeks ago rather suddenly and I've been feeling very sad about him but also stressed and empty due to the lack of cats in the house, happily we have just adopted three lovely fur babies and they arrived last night.

    Does anyone know what happened to Clarins Boosters? I have "re-discoverd" my Detox Booster recently and it made a huge difference to my skin but it is no longer available to purchase :(


    I purchased all three boosters in the sale recently as I love them, perhaps they're repackaging them?

    I have that and I love it! But I do like colourful eyeshadow....
