    Rounding up my stash list at the end of the month :)

    Another UU:
    Small tub of S&G Righteous butter - have another in the stash anyway but this took a while to use up. Like man here I've gone off most S&G but this is ok.

    A few INs. I was naughty in L'Occitane (AGAIN) yesterday, had a 20% off voucher and my Mum with me so I caved :o. Bought:
    L'Occitane Lavender gift basket - hand cream, shower gel & hand lotion.
    And got a freebie sachet of their Fleurs Merveilleuses eau de toilette.


    October has been a good month for me (despite my only wobble of the month in L'occitane yesterday!), a total of 14 UUs! November looks like it might be a quiet month though as I don't have any splutterers and several products I've just opened.

    On a different note, I'm also very chuffed that this month has broken my record for extra money made - £75 pounds from selling things on Ebay, writing articles etc. Going to try for a new record next month!


    Happy Halloween all and see you in November :)

    You will love the Lavender hand cream. this is HG of mine. It's luscious. Well done on the money made as well.

    Am gonna get a copy of this with the blue lacquer hopefully although I may also get the pink as well for emma. x
    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!

    They are yummy. Still wish I'd bought the Beetlejuice ones.

    I so wanted the beetle juice collection as well. They looked so nice on their Facebook page

    Still here and been catching up with the thread. So, sorry to hear about Red trudj:cry:
    I have no more UUs or INs, so that is the 3rd month of no INs for me :A

    Slightly stressed as trying to book a holiday, thought we'd got one last night but company phoned today and said there were no rooms available, :mad: in the meantime, flights have gone up £40 :eek: and prices are rising and rising and still can't find where to go.
    I'll see you all in November's thread :p
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
  • A surprise UU at the end of the month for me: Champneys spa indulgence Mediterranean bliss body hydrator 50ml. I like the light scent of this and the body lotion sinks in quickly and doesn't leave me feeling greasy. WMBA but I have lots more champneys products to use in the stash before I'll need to buy any more!
  • one last UU!

    Omorovicza deep cleansing mask mini- WNBA very expensive, but it was good at deep cleansing ie it gave me spots without fail every time it was used. def not one to use as prep before a big event!

    this month i'm on a total change of -19 products! my best month for outs yet :) obv helped by my lowest INs to date too :rotfl::j

    hoping for a similar November too.

    ive been looking at the xmas stuff and i'm really just not wowed this year. usually id have gone mental and wanted loads but im not getting palettes or sets where i wont use everything and the only things i do want im plannign on trying to pick up in the sale. the only thing i really want is this Laura Mercier brush set and this mini palette but without fail all the LM has been left over in the Harvey Nichols and Space NK sales so i'm hoping for some 50% off boxing day presents :rotfl: at least brushes will last me and i think the LM ones are my HG brushes.

    I have had far too many ins this month so must try harder next month. One more UU Neal's Yard Rehydrating Rose Daily Moisture. I've had 2 different Neal's Yard moisturisers, both as magazine freebies and really not liked either of them. It was too runny and always got too much out of the tube. Then it would take a good few minutes to absorb and made me look like I either was a ghost or had just seen one until it did sink in. Not a good look if you need to leave the house in a hurry!

    I've had 2 ins today Sudocrem 60g jar. Not very glamorous but I have an awful spotty yet dry spot on my chin and also a dry spot on my nose. Nothing I have tried in the past ever works when I have this problem and thought I would give Sudocrem a try as it's cheap and might just help.

    I also bought a Bnatural (Tesco) rich creamy facial wash. This was only £1.08, reduced from around £4. The same excuse I used for buying a mini shampoo that I didn't need not so long ago (but that was only 32p and I did only buy one, despite there being more on the shelves.)
