No buying unnecessary toiletries in September

tokkiandoliver

welcome mockingjay!
beauty bloggers are the devil (i'm totally kidding as I am one myself lol), but I know what you mean...fri night I was in front of my computer with a pen & notepad writing out my insanely long wishlist, luckily on saturday morning I threw it away lol

Clinique GWP size lipgloss, I think it was called Tenderheart. Nice brown/pink/beige type colour. Might buy again

Gave away a bag full, one of the kids friends got her tote bag grabbed on the bus. all her makeup was in it. So out went four eyeliner pencils, two mascara (clinique and pur minerals), four assorted lipglosses, two blushers, one clinque gwp bronzer, one lancome gwp eyeshadow gwp pallete and the same from EL. A Cargo sampler tube of colour/base and a makeup bag. A day and night moisturizer.

Unfortunately, it didn't make a dent in the stash.

Wish me luck to hold my resolve tomorrow ladies - Im going back into Lush for the first time in years. Now they appear to no longer support ridiculous "charities" Im going to investigate some of the new things that my friends are raving about, and also my mum needs some dandruff shampoo, and frankly - soap and float was the only thing that sorted out my horse's flaky skin, so i think she should try it for what its actually designed for (humans!)
SO - Im anticipating only coming out with the following. (am going in with a list!)
Soak and Float
Curly Wurly shampoo (i am almost out of tresemme - and only have half a bottle of bed head curly one left- so im allowed to try a new one )
Skinny Dip (think this is a body wash - sounds lovely)
Brazened Honey face mask (meant to make you look refreshed - we shall see...)
Hair Doctor - think this is a mask ? I do try to really look after my hair in the winter - it takes one heck of a hammering with all the time i spend outside.

Hopefully that (and any freebees they give me if they still do them) will be it....

I'm a big fan of Brazened Honey, it's my face mask of choice. Unfortunately I can't go into our local Lush anymore as they relocated to a smaller shop which is no longer buggy friendly. Too many steps and too small aisles! :mad:

good luck Trudi!

not much movement here, most of my things are all newly(ish) opened and all huge full sizes

One TA - a china glaze nail polish called metallic muse which unfortunately had gotten far too gloopy to rescue. There may be some INS soon tho cos i am hankering after the new Zoya Ornate collection

Finding a bb cream that suits you is a long journey in itself. No two bb creams are the same, so the best thing to do is get samples and try them all out I love the Dior bb cream, but that doesn't mean you would love it too x

Thanks for the advice, you are right, I need to get a few samples. Off to have a pampering session in the bath once I have finished some of my online excel course - I keep looking for distractions.

That was v.nice of you wondercollie to give her that bag of nice stuff!

Some UU:
1. Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser Normal/Combination 50ml - WMBA, nice but not HG
2. La Roche Posay Lipikar Lait 15ml - WBA, lovely cream - used a little bit everyday on some sore skin and I really noticed a difference
3. Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque sachet - WPNBA, I used to LOVE Dermalogica when I was a teen. Recently got quite a few samples but was surprised that none stood out to me considering my love affair with it in the past!
4. Neals Yard White Tea Enriching Facial Mask sample tube - WNBA, awful! Found it quite drying and clay like.
5. Nose Strip - final from box, probably WNBA.
6. Listerine Zero Mouthwash 250ml - WBA

& IN:
The White Company Seychelles Hand Gift Set - 250ml Handwash & 250ml Hand Lotion - a gift

On a final note, I am trying to UU a L'occitane 75ml travel size lotion with the small flip top lid. Nothing is coming out anymore when I squeeze it, but I can see there is mucho left inside. I haven't been able to pry off the lid. Has anyone been successful in getting to the last remnants or should I just throw it away now? Any tactics would be much appreciated!

Thats a lovely gesture Wondercollie - where the heck do people get off??!!!!
Can only apologise for a few of my facebook stati tonight people - for those of you who dont know, the thing I asked for legal advice about back along was that my ex had borrowed money off me (£650!!) and I havent seen a penny of it back. tonight i spotted him on fb the same time as me. so i messaged him asking if he was well, and saw that hes planning a holiday in ibiza next week - so i put a message on his wall questioning if as hes off on holiday I can expect him to start paying me back the money i leant him... unsuprisingly hes now unfriended me on there, and i didnt get any reply at all.....
Just thought with all the new friends ive made from here - i may well come over as slightly unhinged with the cryptic messages - there was a reason, and now i shall rise above and not mention it again. whilst knowing that Karma will play her part at some point

Oh Trudi, what a rat! I hope that you do get your money back, but if not I am sure a lot of us will be sending extremely negative vibes in his direction. (Hugs):)
