little white truths

So I've finished three products this month and switched one out because I wasn't using it enough. That's not a huge total for the month but a few of my items are now looking close to being finished so March will obviously be better.

Next is my Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop. When I opened this to see how much I'd used, I was surprised to see how close it's getting to empty and I think we can say that it will be finished this month - although my memory of these is that the last bits around the sides of the bottle tend to last longer than you might think.

Still, it will be gone within two months, no question.

Next, my Andalou mask. Here's how it looked last month:

Above is my Urban Decay eye primer. As you can see, I've used about half of what's left and I should be able to finish it this month.

Even if I don't, the remaining product has gotten a little thicker and I can see the remains drying out soon and becoming unusable, so I expect to finish this product by next update either way.

Above you'll see my two replacements. I've chosen one skincare item and one makeup item, because I've got my makeup and skincare inventories coming up at the end of March and I would like to finish as much stuff as I can before then.

Let's have a quick look at each item in turn.

First up, my Skin Physics Dragon's Blood 3 in 1 Advanced Treatment Cleanser (reviewed here).

I absolutely love this cleanser but it's the oldest cleanser I currently have open, so it's the one I should get through first. Because it contains active ingredients, I only use it twice a week as a kind of mask/cleanser hybrid - but because I use quite a bit each time (I slather it on like a mask), I can see the remaining product being gone within two or so months.

Last up, my Manuka Doctor ApiRefine CC Cream SPF 20 (reviewed here). I really enjoy this product but it's my least-favourite of the four bases I have open, so it should be the first one to go.

It's also a good product for summer, so I'll keep using it while the sun's out until it's gone. As you can see, I don't have much left so it should be gone within a few weeks.

In sum

That's all from me. It's been a slow start to the panning year, but I can tell already that March is going to be a big month because so many of my items are on the way out.

After that I'll have to bring in a wave of fresh products, and do note that this is getting harder and harder to do because my makeup collection in particular is nowhere near as big as it used to be (phew)!

Hope all's well with you, and speak soon x
