VALM - you've probably gone now but have a lovely holiday.
And - I have one of those Burt's Bees Lip Crayons from a beauty box and really like it. I have lots of lip crayons and haven't found any of them to be drying so don't worry about that, the Soap and Glory ones and the Revlon (the original) ones are lovely.
I have no uu's to report and still no ins for this month.
Repainted my nails last night with OPI nein,nein, nein, OK fine.
QVC sent me an email with an advance buy option on an OPI TSV, it looked nice but I resisted, there is no way on earth I need more nail polish.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Hello all
travelling a little bit so haven't had a chance to stop in to say hi.
I've received a lovely gift from a friend yesterday, so there is an IN to declare.
I painted my nails recently with Illamasqua raindrops too, I am very keen on dwindling down my nail polish collection (131 counted)
I smelled a lovely perfume at Harrods yesterday but almost had a heart attack when I found the price, so I didn't end up buying it haha.
UU's:
Lush - It's raining men small shower gel - wow that smelled lovely, like pure honey and vanilla
Lush - Gold Fun - same smell as above, it felt really nice too and helped my skin
GA's - I gave away about 10 perfume samples to a friend, and also a piece of Lush soap too.
That's all the OUT's for me, and probably that's all for this month. Slow month, but still feel like i'm making a good dent in my stash and will make up more packages next month to send out to friends to de-stash.No buying toiletries challenge

Another UU here Mictchem roll on. Its nice and cold at night now so starting to bath more so hopefully get though the older Lush bits in the next few months so I can restock at Christmas: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 sales0 -
Have a brilliant holiday valm.
Another UU here tonight, boots extracts mango sugar scrub 200ml. Wnba I hate these but keep inheriting them. I don't particularly like the fragrance it starts off nice and then starts to smell like sour oranges. I find it really stings my skin also it's quite harsh. I prefer body shop for scrubs I think.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

Some INs:
Superdrug Vitamin E night cream
Superdrug Vitamin E day cream - heard good stuff about this range and my current cream will run out soon (Actually have no backups in stock at home now for face cream!)
Maybelline gel eyeliner - interested to see if this will compare to the Mac fluidline
V05 Give Me Texture Seasalt Spray - smells lovely!
Superdrug B Energised Eye Cream - so far so good, very light and cooling. Rang through at 70p on the till, very pleased! Usually £6.99 so bargain.
TA - Laura Geller gel eyeliner - hated this. Does not compare at all to fluidline - drags, got dry very quickly, not very black, and wears patchy. Had a chunk left but it was just getting drier and drier and very patchy the more I wore it.0 -
TA
Carmex Lip Balm - about 2/3 of the tin gone, but I decided I can't stand the texture any more - far too gloopy for me.
I saw on ebay last week someone selling some 'used' lip balms. 'Only used three times'. :eek:0 -
Another NBI. I got offered the matching conditioner for the less than impressive Ultimate Blends shampoo I got. There were no other reviews, so I thought I'd be a guinea pig. It was surprisingly good.
I also have an unexpected offer of a hand cream, Greek in origin, which I have yet to review.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
Another couple of UU tonight.
Dove vanilla and Shea bath cream- WBA smell lovely and does quite a few baths. Loads of bubbles too.
superdrug sweet snuggles vanilla bath fizzers- Wnba these were a pack of 9 that I finished this evening. They were ok but the scent wasn't strong enough for my liking. I used 3 per bath.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018
