    Morning everyone :)

    Finally used up my L'Occitane Shea gentle toner -WNBA,it was ok I just don't think toner has any effect on my skin and £17 is a bit expensive for that effect,I'll probably pick up a cheaper one from superdrug to replace.

    I have started using Pixi Glow Tonic which is a glycholic toner and this is really lovely. Can feel it tingling when applied.

    First UU of the month : Sure roll on deodorant. WBA. Tend to buy whatever is on offer. Now using Nivea roll on.

    PP List :-

    Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom cleanser
    Soap & Glory Peaches and Cream cleanser
    Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream 30ml (will depot more from my 100ml to refill)
    8ml L'Occitane Pivoine cream
    1L Australian body care ski wash
    Travel sized L'Occitane shower gel
    L'Occitane sample sachets.

    Going away overnight tomorrow so will take travel sizes then. Emma is away too so she will take some too.

    TA : Bourjois beige glamour nail colour. I just don't reach for this so it's going.

    Need to check how my lip shimmer is too as I took it out for the day yesterday and it melted loads.

    I have another UU from my PP list. The 8ml tub of L'Occitane cream, was nice but not amazing. Prefer others WDNBA.

    Repaintied my nails again yesterday and am wearing Sephora by OPI Break a Leg Warmer. Love this colour and still on hunt for perfect dupe as its been discontinued.

    Quo, olive green eye pencil. Just snapped off. Tried to replace but no luck, so went the budget route and bought an Essence pencil called Urban Jungle, a different green entirely.

    Tossed four min moisturizer bottles, smelt awful.

    Kadison my go to perfume that I find very comforting is Lord of Misrule, I have gone through 3 bottles so far and have 4 left. I have no idea if lush will release it again.

    UUs
    23) Sharashara black charcoal mask WMBA good fit, not highly scented, saturated with essence.

    24) Lush twilight bath bomb WNBA used to be a favourite but lacks something for the £4 it costs.

    25) It's skin today honey pack WNBA wash off mask,seemed to smooth my skin but expensive for a one time use product.

    I've hit pan on my current nighttime body lotion (about a teaspoon full left of a 500ml tub). My current after shower body lotion is spitting and I hope I will use up the remains of it tomorrow. I have a tiny amount of my current shampoo left as well.

    UU
    Superdrug Cleansing Facial Wipes (25 pack) - These were great - really cleansing and refreshing. The pack says they can remove waterproof mascara but I haven't tested this. I would probably buy this again but I like the Primark Argan and Boots Cucumber wipes just as much. I usually just buy whatever I see on offer.

    I've been very good with spending this week. I've not bought any new bathroom products. I did find myself in pound shops but just stuck to household things and wasn't tempted by toiletries. I've been really busy as well - so not enough time to pop into many shops.

    I'm going on holiday at the end of this month so tomorrow I'll go through my toiletries again and see what minis I can find. I've bought some already (for items I know I don't already have in miniature size).

    a couple of UU that should have been on my PP list, but somehow had been missed off.

    UU
    Nivea 3 in 1 cleansing wipes 3/60
    25ml REN Hydra Calm cleansing gel 4/61

    I have been very good with no IN's so far, it helps that I miscalculated when balancing my accounts at the end of July, so am being very :money: in all departments.

    I have on order Hadalabo Hyaluronic acid moisturising lotion as I am now out of Hydraluron and wanted to try this. Thanks SAM4000 for the information:D This should arrive before the end of the month.

    I really want to try the Stila in the garden eye shadow palette, but am holding off until payday. I think it is good for me to excercise a bit of discipline and wait to get new things, it is only because I do not have to run a car nowadays that I have had more disposable income, but like the old days it feels like much more of a treat to have waited a while and then get something new.
