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 know what you mean re the mags.mi saw another when I was shopping yesterday but couldn't be bothered to carry it home. I'm pretty sure anyway that I have some othe mini tubes of hand cream in my stash from the free gifts L'Occitane gave away earlier in the year.

Enjoy your break.

indiepanda - I think these so called glitches are just a marketing ploy.

Repainted my nails last night, did toes in OPI Every Month is Octoberfest and fingers in Nails Inc The Thames topped with Leighton Denny Angel Dust.

I took the time to remove the gel colour from my finger nails on Friday night (still looking good on my toes!) and intended to use this OPI colour but couldn't find it in my stash. Used OPI it's a doozi says Suzi instead. Will see how my new Essie top coat performs with this.

So caught up with you all. Do have 2 more INs from Boots yesterday. 2 x pack of Yes to wipes. They were on a reduced price offer but only had one pack of the grapefruit left so got this and a pack of the cucumber as Emma is taking these to the gym with her.

Whoops - worked on me.

Although it did involve their courier too so might have been the rare genuine one. Oh well, it's pretty much a HG pair of products for me so I'll enjoy it. I've done pretty well on not buying shower gel and body lotion for the last few months, stash has been going down.

I have to confess to getting carried away in M&S yesterday. I was looking at a REN night cream and a sales assistant came over and we got chatting about some Emma Hardie products - ended up leaving with their cleansing balm and a face mask - both of which I admit smelt absolutely beautiful and felt amazing on my skin.

I also got the REN night cream - v-cense and a free REN miscellar water.

Really must tighten the purse strings for the rest of the month!

This is a quick update whilst I still remember:-

UU

Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil
Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter Cream
Good Things Honey Cream Cleanser
Avon Premium de Luxe Perfume
Waitrose Baby Coconut Oil
Avon Supreme Oil Shampoo

So 110 -6 =104

Plan is to go under 100!!

Wait days for UU and then they all come at once (bit like buses etc...) Crabtree and Evelyn hand therapy in Verbena and Lavender. This was a freebie, think it was on the cover of a magazine though I've used other perfumes in the range before.

It's a really nice hand cream but I am having trouble finding out just how natural their products really are. I have plenty of handcream in my stash so I won't be rushing out to buy anything new for a while so I have time to work it out before I rebuy.

some UU over here:
Mac Graphblack eyeliner - wasn't expecting this, went to use it and the end broke off then i realised that was the last in the tube! WNBA
Chloe - perfume mini
Dr Bronner - shower gel sample, Dr Bronner is my HG shower gel anyway and this scent was nice that i hadn't tired before.
Benefit - mini eye cream WNBA this is typical benefit, nothing special apart from fancy packaging .
Elemis - shower gel - WBA if part of a set but wouldn't go out of my way or pay full price!

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.

I've got an illumalid the one with the heart on the top. they still don't form a proper wax pool, and on one in particular the flame still jumps about. I'm using the tin foil trick aswell as the illumalid. Thinking about getting a shade.

I have a few ins from yesterday as I had to go to superdrug to get my concealer (found out it had been discontinued arghh they no longer stock 2true). Also needed a replacement micellar water for work bag.

Superdrug b.pure micellar water
Impulse Charli xcx body spray
batiste sugar melon & honeysuckle dry shampoo

Then Primarni:
Cuticura Christmas cookie hand gel
Cuticura cherry blossom hand gel
Cuticura daisy chain hand gel
Ps...love your hands vitamin e hand cream

Forgot to add my two little uu's

M&S the floral collection magnolia shower cream mini-Wmba this was nice thick consistency and smelled lovely but possibly a bit expensive to buy the gift set for myself, if I'm spending more I prefer body shop ones.

nivea pearl and beauty roll on mini- WBA I love Nivea roll ons however my favourite is the powder touch one. they do a good job and smell nice.

UU

L'Occitane Shea Moisturiser - sample size - loved this, sinks in so well and the fragrance is light, does seem to moisturise well.

My PP list is not going very well again this month Still, at least I haven't bought anything ... just Christmas pressies.
