    Oh evilsquid what a nightmare you have had to go through, it is so unfair of families to dictate their wants above yours, but well done for sticking out for what you really want, I am sure that you will look and feel fantastic and have a lovely day.

    sorry that both you and Gemma are suffering with skin problems, cannot offer any help, except to say be very kind and gentle with your cleansing etc, no harsh products. The stress that you have both had to go through recently cannot have helped either. My all time skin guru Caroline Hirons aka beauty mouth blog has some cheat sheets of acne and breakouts, might be worth a read. When I get bad allergic reactions on my face I always revert for a while to La Roche Posay Serozinc spray as a toner (gleaned from La Hirons LOL) also one of their gentle cleansers (just been and checked it is LRP Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser) A whopping great daily dose of good quality fish oil ought to help too:D

    This is great advice (I too adore Caroline!)

    I have been very good this weekend, went to town yesterday to get my brows done and didn't buy anything other than vitamins and food (no clothes, make up or toiletries bought). I did need some more eye cream, but they were out in Debenhams but the lovely lady gave me some in a sample pot to last me till next week.

    Any beauty products I need over the next month or so I should be able to get with vouchers and points and therefore not spend any of my own money, which is a good thing. Part way through the Christmas presnet shopping and hoping to get a few extra boots points with what I have left to buy, which I can then use to buy some necessities when needed.

    Have painted my nails today in OPI Dark side of the mood, with shine on me on ring fingers, will hopefully get some of my older mini's uu before I open my OPI mini Mani month.

    Your nail combo sounds fab. I own Dark Side as I hoped it would be a dupe for Break a Leg warmer. Have repainted mine and (spookily) am wearing OPI Liv in the Gray which is another dupe contender. Have looked at both polishes side by side and they are not too dissimilar so my quest could be over!

    I have one UU from today:

    Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub 50ml - This was really good as it was scrubby enough without making my skin feel irritated. I liked the scent as well. It also lasted a long time as I had this on holiday for a week and still had plenty left at the end. WDBA. I will replace this with an M&S one from the stash. I tried out a H+M one today and I didn't think it was great so I'll save that to use up later.

    This week I'm hoping to use up two things - the last of a Garnier 7 Days body lotion and the rest of my Lush toner (but it does last a while!). I have 3 INs today - one was a TBS hand cream (reduced to £2.50) and then a mini seaweed cleanser and mini tea tree toner to try out. The store was very tempting but I've resisted (mostly) for now. They had some good deals in The Body Shop so I recommend it to anyone wishing to buy some stocking fillers and save some pennies.

    Another UU - L'Occitane Immortelle cream. This was lovely. May repurchase in the future. Have taken a tube of Caudalie moisturiser out to use as night cream next.
