Decided on 3 TA's - 2 lipsticks down to last 1/4, but don't suit me now my hair colour has changed, however much I try wearing them. :rotfl:

Approx 100 ml body lotion, it is too thin and I hate it, have been trying to be:money:and use it up, then just don't moisturise enough. Opened an ancient Avon Whipped Body Cream which is lovely, rubs in easily and not sticky also have a gorgeous Elemis one for pamper days.

Planned in's so far for January:-

Hydraluron, only have enough for about 10 days so must order it in for delivery to branch.

Possibly may go to Clarins or Lancome counter and try to find a new lipstick to suit my current grey haired pasty look! Summer seems a long time away.

Is this the £25 one? Can you let me know what you think of it? I have been thinking of buying it as I have very dry skin and eczema and someone with similar skin told me it really helped them.

I used Hydraluron (had a full size tube) and wasn't that impressed with it. My skin is on the dry side but not to the point of eczema and I found I got through a tube rather quickly and it didn't leave my skin feeling that moisturised either.

IN Another tube of Cetaphil Moisturiser for when this one runs out, WBA & again as its been amazing for my odd skin. My skin is no longer dry and peeling off my face .. and I mean my skin was so bad it was literally peeling off in chunks so if anyone has dry/problem skin i'd definitely advise trying this

I love it, probably quite a lot older than you gals (63) skin sensitive and dryer side of normal, at first I thought it was sticky and I HATE sticky, but following comments by Beauty Mouth I top it with a serum and then my PCMC or whatever night cream I am trying and my skin is really plumped and more dewy looking (dewy is difficult at this age LOL) I get really bad reactions from some inredients/products but this is absoluteyl fine. Def on my HG list, I wish it had been around a few years ago.

Oooh another UU. Some Soap and Glory shower gel that we have been using as handwash by the kitchen sink. It's in a pump so it's perfect. Might buy again, but not in a hurry.

it is She Said Beauty box which I used to buy abd were lovely boxes to reuse but now have stopped selling sadly:(

a friend had some off me to fill with home made chocs as pressies and I did "new" beauty boxes

Well, I met a friend for lunch. Got as far as the door to Boots and then turned away declaring "I don't need any toiletries" and even when my friend said "At this time of year it's not about need" I was still strong and said "No. Really" and we walked away.
I feel very virtuous, but slightly suspect I may have missed out on a bargain or two; but as they say, "what the eye doesn't see etc". Besides, I seem to already be rather low in my food budget (it's meant to last me to 24th!) so I can't risk any other spending...
