Lovely picture, you both look amazing. Congratulations :beer:
i have 2 OUTs :j 1× UU deodorant and i can't remember the make suffice to say won't be rushing off to buy again. A TA replacement deodorant for the emptty one but it was off so OUT it went.
have also trimmed the end off a hand cream too to get into the tube

another 2 throw aways
bobbi brown cement eyeshadow - nothing wrong with it (think it was a fake anyway as got it on ebay) wanted the container as i have a few other eyeshadows that are a similar colour it goes
benefit stay dont stray pump - there was some left in this so i was going to use the eyeshadow container to pump it out and use it up, except when i pumped it out it had seperated and was a darker colour than it should be

also
have made a plan of using some things up - not going to do it as a PP list tho and i am vowing from monday 3rd nov i am going to use eye cream and a serum every morning and a night cream and eye cream at night - and at least 3 times a week use some kind of body lotion

How is the lacura blonde eyebrow pencil?

I haven't tried it yet, I'm going to finish one of the two l'oreals first.

I have two UUs to balance out yesterday's INs

Tiger balm white 19g
Sure antiperspirant crystal clear aqua 250ml

Tiger balm is an HG, especially at the moment. I had what I thought was a cold three weeks ago but it just hasn't gone. I'm now getting horrible sinusitis, tmj pain and aches all over, particularly spasms in my neck and back. Going to the docs tomorrow, am sure I will just be told it's a virus and nothing they can do Either way this is the stuff of legends, I have another tub in the desk drawer at work. Stinky but when it works, who cares about annoying your colleagues!

Sure antiperspirant is just fine, the 48hr cream is my HG but I intersperse with this one. 4 more in the stash.

Yesterday I made my own dupe of this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dead-Sea-Spa-Magik-Brushing/dp/B000KU9376
using epsom salt, large sea salt, almond oil to make a paste and essential oils. Ran a bath, stood in the bath and scrubbed and then bathed in the salt and oil. Absolutely amazing, best scrub I've ever used. I hate when they're not scrubby enough or when you get that scummy layer on your skin. Using almond oil it just sank in nicely, might try it with coconut oil next.


Congratulations sjprmc01, you look so happy!

What a lovely pic, congratulations! Thanks for sharing.
I'm back.
As I'm down to my last 200ml of shower gel and Wilko's have Original Source gels for half price again I have an IN, OS Raspberry and Cocoa Seasonal Edition. I'll look forward to using this through December along with the little bit of Cranberry and Cinnamon that's left.
I also have the Hyaluronic Gel from Aldi - I went on Friday morning, they only had about 6 left. The innovative dropper for dispensing the gel will make it very economical to use. Just as well as it's unlikely to appear on Aldi Specialbuy again for some time.
The third IN is a Mitchum roll on, 50ml, which is down to 90p at Wilko's atm. Brilliant.
I also bought an unscented one to pop in DS's stocking. He always used to nick mine until I moved it from the bathroom to the bedroom. Mine now lasts three times as long. Lord knows how much he applies.

My first UU of Nov is 75ml of Aldi Suncream, SPF 30, that was being UU'd as foot cream. It's from 2013. I bought one at SPF 50 for this year but it's never been opened. I would definitely buy it again and it actually made quite a good foot cream too!
With just half a bottle of Avon Moroccan Oil shampoo & conditioner as my 'posher' hair treatments, I will probably succumb to Wilko's half price offer of Everpure at the moment. But that's fine. Just one bottle of each and that will see me through to next June probably. I still would like a solid shampoo of some description but perhaps we'll leave that for the New Year. I still remember how the Seanik lasted forever.

My Aldi had either sold out of the lipsticks in record time or they hadn't come in. Either way a lot of the makeup had gone. Hope those wanting some of the Specialbuys were able to get them.

Thanks for starting us off again Babafette . October was yet another slow month for me. Every month is now a slow one. I'm back in again for November. I am hoping to get another fragrance UU this month.

Lovely photo - hope your honeymoon was wonderful.

So a UU today in a hair styling body spray. Pantene one I picked up in a reduced to clear at Waitrose last year. It was ok to use, I have better in my stash. I have used and binned a lot worse too. Overall WNBA ( not sure if I even could).

My Laidbare Pack Your Bags eye cream is spluttering.

Love the wedding hair. I like an updo on a bride more so than loose waves. Makes the bride more groomed iykwim?


No real use ups to report. Finished 2 gwp creams.


I really liked Modern Muse when I got a sample back at the start of the year. So I bought a bottle of the spray perfume. Huge problem. I have an allergic reaction to it. My chest gets all red and there are bumps under the skin and the skin feels hard. I've tried it over three months figuring it was maybe a sun reaction because I started using it in the summer, then I'd changed the washing liquid, and finally I've realized it's the perfume.


Now what do I do with a bottle of perfume that I've used three time????


I've made a huge dent in the body wash/shower gel department. Am down to the last three bottles of "good stuff" Fancy glass bottles from Aran Aromatics. One is going for handwash in the kitchen.

Wondercollie - perfume reacts in the sun with me on my throat area too. Could you use it up on your clothing rather than your skin, that's how I still wear perfume in the summer months.

And - Original Source have brought out lots of new products, Boots had some of their body butters half price, I resisted but would like to try them at some point.

I have two uu

Avon Rich Moisture Family Cream 400ml - this was for the kids to use as a body cream after their baths/showers, it does an excellent job and is very cheap. However it took me an age to remember what the smell reminded me of, does anyone remember those huge pots of hair gel you could and maybe still can get, they came in blue and pink and had loads of bubble in and they made your hair like concrete, well this smells exactly like it. Still WBA though.

Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Bath Salts 50g - these like the Almond ones were a massive disappointment, they smelt great in the jar but the scent just doesn't come across in the bath, the cream is gorgeous but I won't be buying the sets when they go half price again as they are £15 half price but that makes it an expensive cream.
