Hi everyone!
Thanks to babafette for the new thread. I'm back in again. I've had a bit of a mixed start to September with an unexpected flurry of UUs, too many INs, and a welcomed eBay sale to save the day.
OUTs
1/73. UU Scarlett EDT. Don't know if Cacharel even make this anymore.
2/74. UU Eve Lom Cleansing Balm. Travel size from a beauty box. I hated this! Ended up using some of it with a pumice on my feet. WNB.
3/75. UU Cowshed Lippy Cow Lip Balm. Nice enough, liked the smell but really runny and didn't last long. WNBA.
4/76. UU Lush Breath of Fresh Air Toner Mist. Love this. WBA even though it's more of a squirt than a mist.
5/77. TA Dr PawPaw Original Balm. Mini size, used as lipbalm. Really liked this but it completely split open in my handbag so for that reason I don't know if I'd get again.
6/78. UU Vichy dercos anti-dandruff shampoo. Does the job but a little bit expensive so will only get on offer.
7/79. UU Toni & Guy Nourish Reconstruction Mask. Quite nice but no better than a standard conditioner. WMBA
8/80. UU Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion. 10ml from beauty box. WNB. Didn't like it at all, used it on my arms.
9-29/81-101. Sold 20 items as a 'beauty box' on ebay! So pleased these will go to someone who actually gets to use them.
INs
1/47. Superdrug Vitamin E Micellar Water
2/48. Garnier Micellar Water
3-5/49-51. 2x Garnier Micellar Wipes, 1 x Superdrug Vitamin E Wipes
6-7/52-53. Vichy Shampoos to replace the above UU. Got the sensitive scalp and paraben free ones to try. Were 1/3 off at mydermacenter
8/54. Vichy Bi-Phase Eye Make up Remover. Same offer as shampoos. So far v. impressed.
9-12/55-58. 3x Vichy samples and 1x Roger & Gallet EDT sample. Free with above Vichy order.
13-15/59-61. Magazine freebies! 2x Neals Yard Body Lotions. 1x Balance Me cream cleanser. (Thanks asajj!)
16-19/62-65. Sachets from magazines.
So a mixed bag so far! Must remember to post more often so I don't have to do these marathon posts!
Hope everyone's having a good weekend!0 -
A uu from me
Imperial Leather Paradise Island Bubble Bath 500ml - this smelt lovely and was very bubbly but I got through the bottle very quickly compared to others. WBA but only at £1 like this bottle was. Have replaced it with another Imperial Leather but in the Calming scent.
I went into Boots at the weekend and wasn't remotely tempted which is great. No ins this month so far and only 4 in total since 1st August.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Hello ladies.
UUed another sachet of L'occitane Divine oil yesterday. Really love this product.
Received a sample of the new LE serum in the post so will try to use that tomorrow morning.
Did buy a new eyeshadow brush at weekend from TK Maxx but it was only £3.00. Got it for applying shadow to my crease. It's worked well too. I'm presently using Naked 2 loaned to me by Emma but am not sure about all the colours. Some are very sparkly and heavily pigmented whereas I have sparkly ones in my Smashbox Full Exposure pallette that are not.
Repainted my nails yesterday and am wearing OPI You Don't Know Jacques.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

Tossed out 2 eye shadows over 5 years old and mascara and lipstick. I loved the container of the lipstick but it was discoloured. It's difficult to be ruthless but needed.0

UUs:
Montagne Jeunesse Apple & Cucumber face mask
Savers Pur Shea Butter and hemp hand cream: WNBA, unfortunately not a good alternative to TBS one. Very tacky and not moisturising enough.
Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour cream protectant: Was like slathering vaseline on my face and smelt like Vicks.
Ins has increased this month due to products bought for my holiday hand luggage:
Nivea Body Lotion Intensive Moisture
2 x Nair hair removal cream
Argan Oil Cream
Aqueous Cream
2 x Simple soaps

I have ordered 2 trial size Paula's Choice products and they have arrived. It is good that they offer trial sizes.
On the other hand, I have a painful spot in my earlobeI get them often, mostly due to shampoo irritating the area. So annoying!
