Hi everyone

I have to admit, I have a candle problem too
One UU to report

A few more small OUTS.
Toiletries:
12) Sensodyne toothpaste (another almost empty tube that was lying around). WBA, I only buy Sensodyne as other toothpastes contain SLS which gives both of us mouth ulcers.
13) Small Lactisen (exfoliating gel) from Garden of Wisdom. Ok but WNBA as the P&P from the US is ridiculous. Still have a full size to use up anyway.
Make-up:
3) Nail file.
4) Nail file.
Still have a few more things spluttering including a Waitrose hand wash that has looked virtually empty for about a month now but still inexplicably keeps on dispensing soap.
So my balance is now -7 for toiletries and -4 for make-up. Husband is out shopping though and may well come back with dental floss (we do need it) so that may need adjusting.0 -

Hello!
I'd like to join in too please.
I started to use the Oil Cleansing Method last year, (I mix a little castor oil with coconut or almond oil) massage over my face and take it off gently with a washcloth wrung out in hot water. Makeup is whisked off in a trice and my skin which is usually dry and patchy in winter, is as smooth as a baby's bum.
Also, if you have oily skin you would think oil + oil = Hello Pizza Face, but it's not true. My oily skinned friends have experimented with different types of oil (eg avocado oil is better for dry skin and jojoba oil for oilier skin) but it works and is cheap as chips.
A few drops of oil added to your normal day cream makes it much richer and protects skin from cold and the effects of central heating.

UU Herbal essences fresh balance shampoo 400ml wnba as was for dh, probably over a year old!
Makeup bag sort out
TA Empty Rimmel exaggerate eye liner 2.5ml - wdba, I like the formula, but not the foam brush, so swap the brush with a cheaper, more brush-like one that fits.
UU Max factor lash extension effect 6.5ml wnba, just didn't do the 'job' very well, for the price!

So do you just buy cooking grade oil or are they facial oils. I'm interested in trying this.
