No buying new toiletries etc until.....

*Vikki*

I got fed up at looking at the bio oil sat on my shelf for the last few years, never going down. So I have used it all up tonight after my bath. I used it as an all over body moisturiser. I also used up a Neutrogena face wash and another Dentyl mouth wash. It does feel good using them up! Currently still trying to run town my perfumes, working a bottle at a time. Also some hair shine spray. Also gave away a S&G unused lip gloss to a friend at work. I have a mac blusher, and two Clinique eye shadows, used once oh and a clarins foundation. How should I shift them? I don't like them. Suggestions?

Hey Vikki, Have you tried mixing the clarins foundation with moisturiser to make a tinted moisturiser?
Is the mac blusher quite pale-ish - could you use it to give a bit of soft colour over your face/down your neck? would a mum or sis like it?

Also are cotton wool balls/roll just as good for using with my toner as the cotton pads I am already using?

I dont use cotton wool with my toner. A beautician said to me to sprinkle some into the palms of your hands and gently slap it on your face.

I don't know if I would trust myself not to spill it all over the place as I'm blind as a bat without my glasses :rotfl:

I keep finding random bits of product. I found a boxed Urban Decay concealer at the bottom of a pile of scarves. No recollection of when I bought it. I never liked Urban Decay :rotfl: Do they even still sell it?

I miss buying things

Yes I believe they do, love their eye liner pencils, stay put all day long and lovely vibrant colours. My all time faves and I have tried loads.

You could always decant it into a spray bottle for easier use, this is what I do and then you can pat onto your skin.

But then other beauty people say you should touch your face as little as possible so as not to transfer the bacteria from your hands.

Mac blusher??? it wouldn't be the Mac creme blusher in discontinued shade "Pleasureful" by any chance, would it??:D

On the toner front you could use a spray bottle like others have said. I usually splash (hey thats a better word than slap) with toner just after I have washed my face so nice clean hands. Good point, dont want to ruin all your good work.

Importing freebies! You give the Scots a bad name! Only joking.

I don't think I'm ever going to live this down. When I came back I made the mistake of confessing to a couple of friends at work and came in to the office this morning to find 2 little bars of soap on my desk. Both of them have been away on business this week and "liberated" the free soap (as they put it) from their hotel rooms and brought it back to me so I suspect it's going to run and run.

On a positive note I may never need to buy soap again and it means my other colleagues (who are based in Edinburgh) won't dare refer to any of us as the "West Coast soap dodgers" again:rotfl:
