No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in November

emsjune78

One UU this morn - second sachet of Vichy Idealia Pro - WNBA - Just don't need an extra type of product to add to my skincare regime, smelt and applied nicely but don't think there was any real benefit. Obviously only used it a few times though.

Off to have a nice soak in the bath now and use a few products to pamper myself a bit - this week has been a s-t-r-e-t-c-h! Getting home from work tonight was a bit of an adventure, motorway closed and the alternative route I took still saw me having to drive through water at the bottom of a hill :eek: Made it home safe and sound though, still lashing down here in North Wales and very windy to boot

Worked 12 hrs today doing a shop fitting and totally exhausted! So did a little pampering today too.

UU: lush santa's sack - I love neroli so much!

Skyllo

UU: Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser 90ml. WNBA, far too drying! I'm glad I only bought the mini size and it was with Advantage points.

went for a facial at a local salon and treated myself to the opi bondettes set of four mini nail polishes,used "Goldeneye" last night as going to a ball tonight and am blown away by it.....looks like I have gold leaf on my nails,sooooo pretty and only £12.95 the set:)not sure about the black one tho but can pop that in as a stocking filler for a friend.The therapist had shellac nails done on her toes...red sparkles and am having that done to my hands before we go away for my birthday weekend in two weeks:)...all booked now and am looking forward to it despite no change in marital circumstances tho as least now I am styaing calm and just getting on with life!

Hi All

Have a couple of ins to report from a trip to Boots yesterday

Umberto Gianni Volume Mousse and Volume Blow Dry Spray

These were £5.49 each or two for £7.50, also I had a toiletries voucher for some % off but I can't remember what it was but the total for both came out at £5.62 so I was rather pleased.

Had a uu last night too of a Schwarkopf poly colour in Mahogany. Only one hair colour left in the stash now which is good as at one time I had 8.

Confession time, while looking for a cream to use as a night cream, I braved the drawer containing the handcream! The total amount, in tubes pots and bottles of 30ml up to 200ml is....................................................1100grams:o:o:o:o, not including about 6 in use in house, campervan, handbag and knitting bag, I do hope that I do not get any more for Christmas:rotfl: Several came as part of sets, and at least 7 as pressies, one dear friend gave me 3 in one year (we knitters need smooth hands!)

uu Rituals Mei dao body cream, this was a freebie from a magazine some months ago. It smells divine, the fragrance is white lotus. As a body cream it is also very moisturising, yet light in texture, would be very tempted to buy this again

happy pampering, xo

Am glad that things have calmed down somewhat and its always nice to have a bit of a pamper session!

1 In today, Requested a Fit me foundation sample from Maybelline and it arrived today and it looks like its a half decent colour match will try it out properly tomorrow.

1 UU Lush Silky underware talc .... ok confession time here i think i've had this 4 or 5 years but it smelt fine and has been a pleasure to use and i used to use it more for pamper sessions but ive totally gone against the keeping things for best and enjoyed this on a daily basis over the last few weeks to Use it up! (may treat myself to this tomorrow on my xmas shoping adventure to the city!)

A couple of UUS and another IN to report:

Liz earle cleanse and polish 30ml - my HG, have a full size in the stash along with a few others that need using up. Went back to this as had some eczema. Cut the tube open on tuesday and got an extra two days out of it, very impressed!
Boots expert sensitive hydrating eye cream - I tried using this today and it began to sting. Then realised it was a) cheap and b) in the stash for a number of years, so TA.

One In: Maybelline Fit Me Foundation 10ml, free when requested from the website a few weeks ago. Will be interesting to see if it's any good as usually cheaper foundations are too dark for me. Still not paid for any INs except my usual contact lens solution, 6 weeks in to the challenge!

Those nail polishes sound fab, rosemary 54!

2 more UUs - Sure Nutritive deodorant, 35ml - WBA because it was quite effective.

Nina Ricca L'Air, 2ml - WNBA because it's a bit too flowery for me!
