    Hello, I'm in again of course! Thanks Babafette for starting us off.

    I have two UUs to get me started for November:

    1/265. Sanctuary Mande Lular Creamy Body Polish 50ml - WMBA, did the job, nicely scrubby and smells good.

    2/266. Sanctuary Relax Coccooning Body Butter 100ml - WDBA, love this!

    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.

    Unusually for me I went to Aldi on Thursday as I wanted to stock up on dried mealworms for the birds when winter comes, one of my delights is watching their comings and goings from my kitchen window.

    To get back on track, I bought the blonde eyebrow pencil, seems to be best if I combine brown and blonde pencils (grey hair), a cuticle oil and the face powder. Not tried the pencil yet, the cuticle oil seems nice, but the brush from the powder is scratchy so I will use my own.

    2 UUs


    Superdrug Skin Soft Fresh Deodorant (greenish bottle), not sure if they discontinued this as it was reduced when I picked it up, but worked nicely :) I usually use the invisible one from this range anyway


    Just also used up a tub of body lotion from a Mr T Christmas gift set.


    Gave a mascara to my mum this morning, it's a little too much for me as I prefer ones that just give a simple enhancement. So she's going to give it a whirl...


    I also managed to sell another item locally yesterday, Percy & Reed hair oil. It was just sitting on my shelf, so I thought I'd see if I could sell it. £2 in and another item out.


    However... I have 4 INs, none of them I paid for though :) my friend gave me two nail polishes that she doesn't want and two samples from a magazine that she can't use on her skin. So at least they weren't INs that I paid for!

    I have a couple of INS...

    Sanctuary Active Reverse Facial 30 Day Thermal Transformation Mask x 2 - these are £27.50 in Boots and get great reviews - I picked it up for £6 in a shop local to my work! So I bought 2!!

    Also bought 2 of:
    Sanctuary 30 Day Youth Revolution Glycolic Peel-Off Mask and Serum System

    Again, this gets good reviews on Boots and is usually £22.50

    So two total bargains!!


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

I never, ever use a razor as you can get ingrown hairs (this will be what your rash is) I use a cream hair remover specially for that area, it takes 5 minutes and the results are good and you can do it easily and cheaply at home.


    Dolly, would you mind telling me which cream you used. Have had a look to see what is on the market and it seems to be a mine field of various creams for various parts of the body :eek:
