    Thank you. I live in a small town as far as I know there isn't a womans refuge and I don't do facebook( far to depressing!) but I'll post some stuff to that place I think.

    A few INs today:

    SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml
    SVR Sun Secure Fluid SPF50+ 50ml
    SVR Sun Secure Hydrating Milk SPF50+ 100ml
    GUM ActiVital Toothpaste 12ml
    GUM ActiVital Mouthwash 30ml
    GUM Soft Pick
    Bio Beaute by Nuxe Anti Pollution Gentle Exfoliating Gel sample

    These should be my last INs for the month, hopefully. I haven't spend anything on toiletries or skincare yet this month. All of these INs this month I paid for last month.

    One UU tonight:

    Oskia Renaissance Brightlight serum sample 2ml WPNB but this was nice. I doubt it will have much of an effect with one use.

    My Finish 7 by Summer list:-

    NARS Cruella lip crayon
    MAC eyeshadow Whenever You Call
    [STRIKE]No 7 Sugar Mauve lip lacquer[/STRIKE]
    NYX concealer
    OPI Big Apple Red
    Urban Decay Easy Blush
    L'Occitane Jasmine & Bergamot fragrance

    Calling the Sugar Mauve lip lacquer done as there is no stain product left. There is some gloss but I don't want to keep the whole component for what little is left. I am going to start using a No7 lip lacquer in Chilli to pair with the NARS Cruella though.

    I have few more INs but these are from LF beauty boxes
    Nip Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Pads - 10 Pack
    Nuxe Anti-Pollution Moisturising Cream 15 ml
    Vegan by Dr Botanicals - Bergamot & Poppy Seed Body Bar
    Glamglow Mud Mask - 15 g
    Pur Fully Charged Mini Mascara
    Emma Hardy Moringa Cleansing Balm - 15 ml

    I have UU'd a hand cream that I bought from TK Maxx long ago. Also UU'ed Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Serum. The pump wasn't working well on this one. I bought when it was heavily discounted in Debenhams but not sure if it would be worth the full price as I didn't think it lasted long. Good product though.

    I need a new serum - still not found a holy grail.

    I have UU my Bumble and Bumble B Straight Creme. Have a back up in readiness.

    I decluttered 5 lip products today. The first was a Rimmel lipstick. Can't remember the name. It was bright red. It was not bullet shaped, was kind of squared off at the top. Didn't like the shape and have other reds. It came from an advent calendar so not concerned about throwing it away.

    The other 4 were from a French Connection kit I was given as a gift. 2 were the kind where you wind the product up through a brush applicator. Have never liked these as I don't feel you can control the amount of product coming out. Tried one today and there were chunks in it. The other 2 were liquid lipsticks and were Matte which is another formula I don't like. Again, I think the formula had gone off as it was gloopy. None were unique colours so they have gone.

    Hi all.

    I have some uu

    L'oreal Extraordinary Oil Conditioner 400ml - I really liked this, left my hair looking really shiny and feeling soft.

    Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo 50ml - this was fine but WNB as nothing special.

    2 x UU

    OPI Big Apple Red. Another mini gone. Lovely colour but have plenty of red lacquer. Replaced by Apartment for Two.

    LUSH Mum in a Spin bubble bar. I got this for Mothers Day. It was nice but nothing special.

    1 sample out and 1 sample in, courtesy of a colleague:

    UU: Skin Essential Antioxidant Peptide eye gel Nice, light formula. Can't find the price online so it probably means it is expensive.

    In: Exuviance Clarifying facial cleaner

    ETA: Superdrug order ins:

    2 x sensitive anti bac hand gel
    HIPP hair and body wash
    2 x superdrug q10 anti-ageing hand creams
    Nivea Micellar water

    Whilst packing these away I realised that ordering online is actually adding more to the stash as I'm ordering multiple products to qualify for free delivery. I will go to the shop instead now if I only need one item. I've also now re-arranged my toiletry stash so I can now see clearly what I have in stock before ordering again.
