    I have an OUT to report. My freebie sized Clinique high impact mascara has been binned as it is over three months old now. I haven't put out another one as they are now all full sized versions in my stash and I never use it enough at the moment. I have been to get my tinting done twice in the last 4 months and will be going again next month.

    My pre Halloween party went well. The house looked fantastic with every room done up to the max. There is not a spare bit of surface anywhere with ceremic pumpkins, witches, black lace table cloths and candles. Even every window curtains had been replaced with black lace, netting and other black fabics. In the bathroom the soap pump is a spooky ghost!! The hostess has really out did herself this year. My cousin got a really fright with this lifesize talking creepy butler that moved around to offer drinks!! Not for the faint hearted. Also doing the rounds was a fantasia style broom which ran around the floor by itself.

    The food was a lovely italian that now does take aways -nom nom :D

    The "real" Halloween party is in two weeks time and is fancy dress so I will have a bit of a think about what to wear.

    In the end I opted for some spooky candles.

    Hi ladies! Just a quick update!

    2 UU
    1 50ml TBS Dreams Body Butter- Smelled lovely but was a bit overpowering iykwim?
    1 75ml The Sanctuary Body Lotion- It was OK but the warming effect was not exactly comfortable!

    A few ins though...
    Superdrug vitamin E facial oil- my skin is REALLY dry at the moment, it's peeling off!
    Superdrug vitamin E hot cloth cleanser- This is to alternate with my TBS Passion fruit cleanser- it's not leaving my skin feeling that nice- am I doing something wrong, everyone else raves about it!

    I have some INS! 3 x 40ml blissful body wash. Arrived in the post today. Thanks so very much hanval, I love this stuff :D It should keep me going for a good long while. Will stick a body puff on my Christmas list again as stuff just doesn't last as long with scrubby gloves.
    Off to work again shortly. Nice compliment last night, did a bay of obs and came out, the NA asked who was left to be done and I said "nobody, I've done in there"
    "Blimey you're quick" she said :D I am too, lots of the registered nurses won't do obs or anything so people are always surprised when I get on and do everything. Can't be faffed with "not my job"ness!

    A UU - bit of an odd one. A 200ml Vaseline feet and legs stimulating lotion. It didn't seem to have much effect on my feet and legs, so I tried it as a body lotion. It was very warming and tingly - quite nice for colder mornings.

    Had to cut it open with very sturdy kitchen shears to get the last 30 ml used up - the plastic is heavy-duty.
    WIBA? Well, possibly. Only from the pound shop though - which is where it came from. It was nicely thick and rubbed in well. However, using separate lotions for different parts of the body, when I already use different products for face/neck, body and feet is a step too far for me.

    Having said I was on the last shampoo with my Lush Karma solid shampoo, I was overly optimistic/pessimistic, I now reckon it will see the week out Lush reckon this will last for up to 80 washes, mine definitely has done around that number. Very MSE, but I'm bored with it now and it has lost most of its very pleasant scent.

  • Evening all,

    Firstly, thanks Valm for the tip, I'll be checking that out :)
    I've got a couple of UUs - My Lush Comforter bubble bar has now been all used after being bought on special in the Xmas sales. So glad to be able to try out their newer bars now.
    Another conditioner has been used up - WNBA as I've got plenty and I really want to start using a solid conditioner.
    I've also managed to sell one of my perfumes on ebay - got £4 for it, but still, I had two bottles of it and I rarely wear it so its much better to sell it and get a little cash.

    I'm sure I'll have a couple of INs to declare tomorrow - I'm hoping to go to Lush and get a facemask and the herbalism cleanser - It really is my HG product, and I'm going to start treating myself to their facemasks again, now that I know I can free half of the pot rather than waste it!

    Keep up the good work everyone :)
    In the end the journey's brought joys which outweigh the pain.

    How about taking this old mascara and swapping itat Clinique for a new one! :D

  • Hello ladies,

    It seems my skin is really suffering with the change of weather too, I'm getting all these dry patches around my eyes, which is quite painful. Doesn't help that my 2 year supply of raw shea butter has run out, which I think my skin is really missing.

    UU:
    1 garnier mineral deodorant
    1 Boots pretty body spray -WIBA? This is like a knock off version of impulse, which was 99p and hand bag size. it's a good product to freshen up with, but does not stop you sweating.

    Ins: Dr Organic's Vit E face Cream from Holland & Barrett. Not sure about this, texture is quite sticky and doesn't sink into the skin. Will see how it goes.
    Rosewater
    Hollywood Cocoa butter with "Vit E". I don't think it really has Vit E as it is a cheap product and the main ingredient is petroleum, however it smells nice and is a cheap replacement whilst I source some sheer butter and relieves my dry patches.
