    Decided to google the La Roche Posay Anthelios to see if it had to be reapplied, it does, BUT, they also do a compact foundation in SPF50 which looks to be just the ticket! It's also 1/3 off at feelunique so I'm going to order it in the lightest shade and hope for the best. Thanks Ruby :beer:

    Also, I meant to say, welcome aintshesweet and get well soon to you, VALM :)

    Total stands 351.It is going down very slowly . Lush also bring out their Christmas and Halloween products at the weekend (don't think their is much hope for me;)). But on a positive I have not smoked for nearly 11 weeks and have saved about £500.

    Thank you too for the recommendation of LRP, I'll have a look in the big Boots this weekend. Is it a "once" application or do you need to top up every couple of hours? The only reason I ask is my skin is in SUCH a mess, I am not comfortable going without foundation, even when lying beside the pool :( I'm very careful to avoid direct sunlight in my face when I'm abroad, I'll happily lie with my body in the sun but always have my head under the parasol but I still had a moustache using factor 30 last year. This getting older malarkey STINKS :mad::D

    I must admit I have managed to get away with applying it just once a day but after my dad had skin cancer earlier this year I would advocate topping up at least once during the day.

  • Hi ladies

    Thanks Sundaysgirl for starting us off for October, I'm planning to have zero unnecessary purchases this month which given the state of my finances shouldn't be too hard:(

    Happy pampering xo
  • Fantastic Sam, well done, that's a holiday you owe yourself:T

    Brought Marie Claire for the hand cream so a couple of INs L’Occitane shea hand cream and a sachet of Aveeno moisuriser. Long day today and an afternoon in London. By the time I've got there, I can never be bothered to take a detour to the shops and I just want to get out again as soon as possible. :money::money:
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • A first TA for me :D

    Syoss Dry Shampoo "Anti Grease": WNBA. The smell is awful and it's not really working on my hair - in fact it makes it even more greasy.
    weight loss journey: 3 KG / 8 KG
    declutter challenge: 25 / 25 ✅ 66/100

    english is not my first language, sorry for any misspellings
  • One TA: L'occitane verbena body lotion 75ml. I have used the soap and I like the smell. I've used the hand cream and I like the smell. I had 300ml of hand wash and that is fine. I have the perfume and it's ok-ish (but to me smells a bit like a lemonbalm foot spray I bought from BS years ago). But the body lotion, I cannot get along with. I could notice this sharp smell that almost smelled like BO, but was coming from my forearms. Thought it was just me but when my OH commented on the 'weird not-nice' smell coming from my vicinity, it had to go.

    I don't feel too guilty, it was a half used travel size that was a gap. It's in the bin.

    Thanks for the new thread Sundaysgirl and a warm welcome to firefly5 and aintshesweet. :)

    I'm in again for another month and have sorted out some new Project Pan items to target - I'll post the photo in the next few days. I've been busy this week stripping wallpaper, painting, cleaning and hacking tiles off the wall so my manicure chipped and had to come off. I painted my nails again yesterday with OPI Princesses Rule!

    Eek! I don't know if I can handle incorporating nail polish into this challenge though, I'm a total polishaholic!
    Snap! Thankfully I don't count polish for this challenge either. :D

    I hope you feel better soon Val.
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
