No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2015

I have a uu

Soap & Glory Heel Genius - WMBA, I do have another tube in the stash and some other things to use as foot cream too so won't be looking to buy anything just yet.

I repainted my nails in Sally Hansen Plums the Word topped with Leighton Denny Angel Dust - they look so pretty.

Shandyclover/BlueEyedGirl - Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Shower Gel and Body Lotion is my absolute favourite.

I have some ins and outs to declare.

I love l'occitane hand cream to death but the thought of having a pile of several unread Marie Claire magazines seemed like a waste. I could of sold them or passed them on I guess but I can't be bothered with it and I don't know enough people who would read it. People seem to be selling the hand creams on eBay ATM so I grabbed them there instead. I really wanted to try them all

So I got another vanilla bouquet, delightful rose, zesty lime, pivoine flora, lavande and the cooling hand gel. Very excited to try them all. The vanilla Bouqet is absolute HG for me so I'm pleased to have two to stash now.

UUs:
superdrug simply pure micellar water - WBA this literally lasted for most of this year, a little goes a long way. My skin feels a LOT cleaner when o use this and it's not oily or greasy in any way. I didn't react to it either. I've got a big Garnier one currently that's 1/3 used so I'll carry on with that and maybe buy a mini micellar water for my work overnight bag but will buy this again in future maybe when I've used the Garnier one up.

soap and glory girligo spray- WBA and do have another stashed. I like the smell of this and it's so easy to use when you're short on time.

I am on annual leave from today, 10 whole days off!! Looking forward to getting in lots of lovely baths and having my nails painted, that's going to be a bit of a novelty! I work in a care home so I'm hardly ever able to have my nails painted. They will definitely be painted this week. I have a bag full of lovely polishes going to waste. When I had an office job I was able to wear it everyday so used them all the time but they've been sat mostly unused for the last two years

I think I've dumped YC too. My daughters knew I loved them so would often gift them too me on mother's day, bday, cmas etc.I have a whole collection. However the prices are getting ridiculous, so much is wasted and I hated to see my girls splash out so much. In the end I banned them from buying more. There are now plenty of other places making and selling perfectly nice scented candles that do burn all the way and I don't feel so cross about the waste.

I have to say my village candle seems to create a much better wax pool than my Yankee ones, I think the fact it's got 3 wicks really helps. I find myself having to use the tin foil trick practically every time I burn a Yankee one ATM or I don't get a full wax pool and it starts to tunnel but it could be my house is cold and draughty as the problem wasn't so bad in the summer. I love the Yankee scents so much though I can't help but buy them. My dad has contacts in America as he works over there a lot who can get them for me on special deals making them really cheap, so I'm very lucky in that respect. he bought back the salt water taffy and the cherries on snow ones for me last month and I have to say they smell divine but will no doubt start tunnelling if I don't use the tin foil trick. They look so much prettier with the tin foil off! at some point I may try some of the other village candle ones.

Treated myself to the Elizabeth Arden New York Beauty Must Haves for £24.50 from Boots today, I used my points so it didn't cost me anything!

23ml Akin Rosehip Oil HG have another.

I am very pale (anaemic) and grey haired (although as of this week I have purple and 2 shades of pink hi lights - love it) I have decided that I need to wear more make up, especially less understated eye shadow, so have had a little splurge today, 3 for 2 at B**ts:D

IN
L’Oreal Palette Nude in Rose
Maybelline The Eye Eraser
L’Oreal Super Liner in Grey

also 2 items I bought earlier in the week

In spite of having to get about 2" from my 3x mag mirror I am managing quite well so far:D

Just one UU to report tonight:

Nivea Daily Essentials Express hydration primer 50ml - WDBA - I love this. It suits my skin, smells nice, doesn't give me spots and is reasonably priced. Have some other face creams to use up but will return to this for sure

I Ta a Body Shop blush that I bought 5 years ago for my wedding. Wasn't giving any color to my cheeks anymore :eek:

I bought one of the mags with Nails Inc nail polish as I needed a light color. Painted my nails with it tonight.

Gemzie - Yankee Candle do an Iluma Lid for their large and medium jars, it is a metal lid which heats the jar and reflects the heat back. It does a much better job than foil and looks nice too. If they put two wicks in their big jars they would burn much better imo.
