Morning all. Another UU for me to report- travel size of LE Eyebright EYe Lotion. Really like this, although I don't use it religiously. It takes all traces of make-up off the eyes, and I like that it's not oily. I have a full size in stock to use now so don't need to buy again, but would buy in the future.
No toiletry purchases for me this week :j, but I will be stocking up on Glamour magazine on the 31st to get one of each of the Benefit freebies as I love them all.

Thanks for the tsv details, I would prefer a blue in a non shimmer, but if one turns up on *bay I might go for it, in the AD the only one I would go for would be the grey.
Pleased your holiday plans are coming together - so exciting.
A few IN's and several UU's and TA's to report, so hopefully back later, off to buy a shed/store thingy in B&Q sale (30% off):money:so had better be ready when OH coms back from dog walk:(The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
Oooer missus! :rotfl:
Ha ha :rotfl:- thank you for spotting this - hoist and petard spring to mind as I have a reputation at work for being really nit picky over grammar whenever we produce written publicity or memos about anything! What else can I say - If only.....
Not tempted by the Ojon and had a sneaky peek at the OPI but think I will be adding £5 to my sealed pot - the OPI is v tempting but I have had my 1 TSV this month and must be good.
Still have a few splutterers but nothing teetering to a UU yet - Grrrr.0 -
I have another UU to report (and some INs):-
UU : travel sized bottle of Aussie Shampoo. All shampoo gone now - yay.
So one of my INS is a bottle of V05 shampoo. Got the conditioner as well as it was BOGOF at Sainsburys and my conditioner won't last much longer either.
So went to JL and got MrM's shave gel and a Gentle rose Exfoliator for me. This qualified me for 4 free travel sizes plus a nifty little bag. Got the PCMC, Quartz Serum, Toner and Neck and Bust Cream.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

INs:
Garnier lotion samples
a few avon eyeliners as these are a HG and my mum said she is going to quit soon as she's just not reaching the minimum anymore. I will be stocking up over the next few weeks on avon to save me having to pay postage later on.
want to have a clear out next weekend and sort through what I have to stop me buying more. And hopefully put some bits on ebay. The general clutter is driving me crazy! It's at times like these I wish I could have 1 of everything in the bathroom. Not 10 shampoos all open at once..
and congrats to LadyM:j and happy birthdays to those I may or may not have missed:rotfl:Toiletry spend £34.95 In: 10 out:130 -

Hi Fiasco, what skin type are you? If you have any oiliness in your skin go gently with this product as I found it made my skin oilier if I used too much.
Ekk - Yes I have oily skin!! I can do without another breakout. To be on the safe side I will skip my chin area in particular. Thanks Valm for the heads up.I have another UU to report (and some INs):-

Thanks for the suggestions on tortilla wraps, yes, I'm usually OK with those. I'm not OK with anything at the moment though, an awful night last night, felt very shaky first thing. I'd not eaten much at all yesterday, but in doing so broke my Golden Rule of no eating for 24-48 hours after tummy trouble.
So no food today, not much pampering either as no energy, but what a relief not to be running to the loo every ten minutes. The Amazon freebie eye cream didn't arrive today but two long - awaited books did, sequels to my favourite book (Nella Last's War) along with the new phone, also an Amazon freebie.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

A few UUs and some INs:
UUs:
Lush aqua mirabalis: this came as part of a gift set. WNBA, it was ok but a bit messy.
La Roche Posay Hydraene moisturiser: loved this, WBA
INs courtesy of Boots 3 for 2, they were needed so it's justifiable! I also manage to get a fair few points using extra vouchers.
L'Oreal Sublime Bronze tan
Eucerin Aquaporin eye cream
La Roche Posay facial sun cream0
