Project Use It Up - October

Here's my selection of products that I'm trying to finish off this month

 

* The Body Shop - Chinese Ginseng and Rice Toner
A second month for this uber-hydrating toner. Although I've been using it pretty much every morning, it's taking a while to finish off. Oddly, sometimes this stings ever so slightly when I apply it and I can't work out why that should be - it obviously doesn't sit too well with something else that I may use in my morning routine.

* Elemis - Bliss Capsules
There's only about half a dozen of these capsules left in the pot so it shouldn't be so hard to use them up. Rose for the morning and Lavender for the night. These have been languishing in my drawers for ages, so I can't have been that enamoured by them. I'm not sure how 'in date' these are either - sometimes it feels like I get a tiny bit of the plastic capsule in with the oil, as if the capsules are disintegrating?

* The Hero Project - Vit C-30 Serum
This has been my go-to Vitamin C serum since the beginning of the year and I've always loved it. However, it's slightly too oily to use in the morning under my make up and I'd really like to find something that I can wear in the day.

* Ultrasun Face SPF 30
A second month for this and I'm really wanting to get rid of it now! I really don't like the mushroom smell and it's quite heavy to wear under makeup and can make me a bit oilier throughout the day. I am on the look out for an alternative SPF to my beloved Biore UV Aqua Watery Essence - one that's a bit more accessible to buy. I'm thinking of checking out the Inkey - Zinc 50 SPF.

* Trifle Cosmetics - Pear Sugar Lip Scrub
This is still hanging around from last month too! Small but seemingly never-ending.

* Perfume
A few end-of-bottles and samples that have been kicking around for a while - Florence Anne - Patchouli & Clove; Gucci - Bloom mini; Serge Lutens - Fleurs D'Oranger mini and Philosophy - Amazing Grace sample vial.
