I finally updated my own list! I plan to buy absolutely nothing until I am on the last product or I have run out. I need to put myself on a complete ban! My major issue I have is frizzy hair, it is driving me mad. I have tried Coconut Oil, does nothing, I am beginning to think the Aussie products I have been using of late are making it more frizzy!

I have the same problem and I've found the best thing is Lush shampoo/conditioner (I've tried a few and they're all good, including the bars) and then just leaving it dry without putting any product in it. I've tried every product under the sun and find that the less I use the better. I've always found the aussie stuff to really dry my hair out.

Unfortunately it's fared up again, this time only worse not only do I have the sore dry discoloured patches, but I woke up this morning with swollen lids as well. Haven't put anything on my eyes this morning and am hoping the antihistamines will kick in soon. If its no better when I finish work for the day I'll pop into Boots on the way home.


I did try using my ultrabland as remover the last 2 nights could this be the cause? Or could it possibly a reaction caused my the mix of products I'm currently using? Will need to go eye make up free again for a few days at least until this settles down. The skin in this area is obviously highly reactive at the moment. Need to find something to stop the hyper sensitivity.

I was getting conjunctivitis all of the time and couldn't work it out. I do wear contact lenses but was changing them regularly. I wash my brushes often but I didn't think that the make up I was using was also infected. What I could clean I did and what I couldn't I got rid of and bought new. I haven't had it again since!

Another note... I have the slowest month ever. Nothing is going down but I also haven't bought anything so that's good. I seem to be at the end of a few things and no matter how much I use they're not going anywhere!

I do wear contact lenses which is why I'm always overly cautious where my eye's are concerned. Always bin mascara after 6 months of opening whether its finished or not same with eye creams etc. Wash eye shadow brushes daily, disinfect palettes when needed. Eyes have calmed down again now but lids still slightly dry. I'm starting to think some of it may be at least partially related to Hayfever and the high Pollen levels we have had. I have been really suffering with it, especially on Thursday.


Have binned Mascara, eye primer and eye creams and am starting from fresh on these (brushes have already been washed and disinfected). Leaving it till at least tomorrow before trying eye make up again, want to ensure everything has completely settled 1st.


Fingers crossed I will have solved it this time.

I have a UU to report:

Malin + goetz lip moisturiser 5ml- WBA HG (although have another stashed) this was free with Elle magazine and it's been the best lip product I've ever had. I can't justify paying for the full price but whenever this is free with a mag I will stock up on it. It really really works and is so soothing on my lips. I get colds constantly so I've been reaching for this more and more. Sorts my lips out when they are really dry and cracked. Mum also commented that it looks lovely on, makes your lips glossy and shiny (like wearing a clear lip gloss). It's quite thick in consistency so a little goes a long way! .

I have just finished this to, it was my next to the bed lip balm that I used at night worked really well. I use a lot of Lip balms as get very dry lips. My stash of Lip Balms is almost gone and I'm going to have to buy new ones soon. Well actually I need to buy something with an SPF in it very soon, as don't have anything like that left (and burnt lips can be very painful).

No UUs but I did TA a very old OPI lacquer yesterday called Kangarooby. I think it is pre 3 free days and smelt bad. Am wearing OPI Kreme de le Kremlin instead.

I have just been to Boots but only bought a wart removal kit for MrM and a bottle of E45 Intense lotion for Emma. Was very focussed. In and out without a glance at anything else.

I have an in

Garnier 2 in 1 Make up remover 200ml - I like this for removing eye make up and it was on offer in Tesco and I am currently using my last bottle of eye makeup remover so it was a sensible in.

I forgot to add that I dyed my hair a purple tint a few days ago so I purchased 3 boxes of dye as I have very long hair. I ended up using 2 so that's 2 UU. I also have a couple of more INs - a bottle of Olive Oil to use for shaving and a face mask sachet from Superdrug. I intended to use it when visiting my friend but I didn't in the end. I bought 2 24hr colour tattoo eye shadows from Savers and my friend gave me an eye shadow she wasn't using. That's a total of 8 INs but minus the 2 boxes of dye I used that makes 6.

UU
Schwarzkopf Live Intense Colour in 087 Mystic Violet (x2) - This came out very well in my hair, you can definitely see the colour but it's not too intense and it brightens up my face. I have one box left which I'll use on my hair to liven it up once it fades. WDBA.

I was very good yesterday in Savers - the only impulse buys were the 2 eye shadows as the other stuff was needed. I almost bought a few unnecessary items but I put them back before I made it to the till. And at least the impulse buys are small eye shadows that aren't going to take up space. I'm glad I put a bottle of conditioner back as I currently have 10 in the stash.

Afternoon all
UU a B&H hand and body lotion it was ok but I have loads (31) of hand and body lotions so won't need to repurchase for probably another couple of years!

Just had another UU with my weekly face mask:

UU
Montagne Jeunesse Candyfloss Scrub 15g - This smells like sweeties and I liked that it was scrubby. So the residue left on my hands I used as a hand scrub. This sachet lasted me 3 uses so 3 weeks of using once a week. WDBA.
