No buying unnecessary toiletries in October

Spending_Vs_Saving

Another UU :T
Soft and Gentle Jasmin roll on stick. to be honest i think it was as old as the hills and this morning it decided to fall apart on me and land nicely on the carpet so a quick clean up and straight into the bin.:p

which takes me up to 3 UU this month and so far no ins!

VALM

Another UU for me: Sephora Coconut body scrub. can't buy again unless visiting Europe or US. Smelt lovely on holiday but not so great when I got back.

First of all I sincerely apologise for the confusion I've made on my last email. I know you might get upset, but again I do really sorry for that.

Have had a little flurry of uu today and last night as follows:

Superdrug Vitamin E Hot cloth cleanser - WBA, this states for normal/dry skin and I have combination but it didn't cause any problems. It is lovely and thick and smells of coconut and the tube lasts for ages and is cheap too. Have replaced it with a No7 Hot cloth cleanser which is a LHJ if I remember rightly.

Chloe Narcisse EDT - WBA when I have got the perfume stash down a lot, I have been using this on and off for over 15 years now. Moving onto a M&S Floryntina one now.

REN Neroli and Grapefruit body wash - WNBA, this was a travel size and it smelt sweet and pleasant but not zingy like you would expect. Can get something much cheaper that does the job.

REN Neroli and Grapefruit body cream - WNBA, same reasons as above, it was a nice cream but had a slightly weird consistency.

lots of goodies just arrived with the BB parcel but of course I cannot name any:rotfl:1 item alone costs £37 so very pleased with value

Skyllo

2 UUs today.

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength cuticle cream: WNBA!!! This was horrible, really sticky and I didn't like the smell.

Andrew Colligne One Minute Wonder conditioner: this was ok, I liked that it wasn't silicone-heavy like other deep conditioners but I don't think I really need it as my hair isn't that damaged (never been coloured, don't straighten it much).

I couldn't find a thread to put this in, so hopefully this is okay.
I had my boots no.7 colour thing done, ( sorry, can't remember what its called but it has been tv advertised), and i was thinking it would be great to come together and pool all the information, and save on wasting money buying a foundation in store that looks fine and then getting home and seeing its too orange.The larger boots stores are also doing a similar thing for a new maybelline foundation , and i also notice that they are also doing this for the new max factor foundation.

for example my shade is calico, so if anyone else is calico, they could come on here and tell us what colour they wear in a different brand ( hopefully cheaper) and i would know what to buy.
this could extend to a blusher that you wear that you love and suits that shade of skin perfectly.
wouldn't this save a lot of money!

Hi everyone! Am home sick today from work; started off with a really bad cold last week, felt better the beginning of this week, then started to have a cough which resulted in me throwing up most of last night! Have been in bed all morning and still feeling a bit achy and shivery. Going to have a nice hot shower soon and make myself feel better. Have been sent a sample of the Ojon hair mask so will try and use that up and maybe paint my nails after ward.

Hello everyone! Had another meeting with my boss where he continued to tell me what I was doing wrong. Funny as I have been away from work all week due to a cold, so clearly it wasn't MY fault, but of course I took the blame for it.

Anyways, onto better things.

UU: No 7 eye makeup remover. I bought this with the £5 off voucher, it did what it was suppose too and for £2, I couldn't complain.

This leads me to announce that I am almost done with my toiletries stash. I had a look today and once I finish:

Nivea deodorant (80% done)
Garnier body tonic (spluttering too)
Elemis apricot toner (about 75% done)
Clarins water purify one step cleanser (60% done)
and a few samples

I will have graduated!!!!!! I believe that I can finish this definitely by months end, if not then definitely by the end of November! I'm so excited that I finally got my toiletries stash under control and that there are no duplicates in my stash

I can then tackle my cosmetics
