    UU) Avene Skin Recovery Skin. WNBA as it is not rich enough for my skin.

    TA) Nivea Pearly Shine lip balm. This came in a gift pack and it is vile. It looks like those awful frosted pink lipsticks that look terrible on pretty much everyone. It certainly looked terrible on me!

    My mum bought me one of these as a well intentioned, but misguided Christmas present. I am using it up by applying before I go to bed each night - started in March and halfway through. It does seem to be quite moisturising even if OH says it makes me look like the Tin Man.

    I was gifted with one of these too! I gave it away to my niece. On me it looked awful, her it looked sort of babarella-resque. Amazing what you can get away with at 14!
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!


  • Another UU Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula 24 Hour Moisture, nice but too strongely cocoa, felt like I'd sat in chocolate some days and so hard to get the last 175ml out. Still not found time for that bath I promoised myself, hubby is back now too...for now. I best find me time before his next trip in a week!
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • One UU for me tonight, sanctuary spa salt scrub sachet. WNBA was bought in boots 3 for 2 as an impulse/make up my order buy. Smelt ok but it didn't help with my dry skin and gave me a bit of a rash.
    £2 savers club 2025 #2= £48
  • one tiny out a small tester of declor moisturiser and the micellar water, i was ok but have so much to finish. no in's this month, i had a good luck in tk max and enjoyed looking but was not tempted.

    i feel that this year is slipping away from me and soon- christmas will be upon us. so i need to step up the product usage.

    Well that's me all caught up on the end of August and this month's updates - I need to stop leaving it so long!

    VALM - I hope you had a good holiday.
    Deleted_User - thanks for the new thread.
    Hello to all newbies.
    Gemzie - I think others are right, it might be time to look for something else. I know you want to go back to your old work but it doesn't sound like that is going to be an option so it might be better to try to cut your losses as they are making you so miserable? OR you could have an accident at your new place (a small one that doesn't actually hurt) and sue them seeing as they haven't completed a risk assessment or let your new colleagues know that you are disabled and therefore may require your tasks to be adjusted. That would teach them for being so horrible!

    So September has got off to a good start in regards to UUs:

    Miscellar water 400ml
    No7 loose powder
    Benefit They're Real mascara 3ml
    - wouldn't buy again
    TBS Seaweed toner

    INs:

    Hotel shampoo
    Hotel body wash
    Hotel body lotion

    No7 moisture drench lipstick - got this free with a voucher I had from last month's No7 purchases

    I think I'm going to go into town so I MAY end up buying some things. I'm at the stage in pregnancy where I can't really buy anything to cheer myself up and soon all my spare cash will be spent on my baby so this may be my last opportunity to treat myself for a while :) I'm also not sleeping very well and pretty emotional so I'm using this to make myself feel better!

    Hope everyone has had a nice weekend.
    #27 £2016 in 2016 = £763.61

    #42 £2 Savers Club = £160

    *Savers Club not included in overall 2016 savings until the tin is opened and my estimates have been confirmed later in the year.

    I have a uu

    Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse 10ml - this is so silky and lovely and smells great, I have a full size in the stash so no need to replace yet.

    Hello ladies! :wave:

    I hope you are all keeping well. I should be studying so I need to write and run...

    UUs:

    1 x Corsodyl Doily Mouthwash. HG, will buy again but am currently out. Oops!

    Given away:

    6 x Oral B Pro Expert toothpastes. This was the last of my 99p stash. I'm glad to have given it away to someone who can use it. It's a poor imitation of Sensodyne Pronamel and doesn't do it for my teeth in the slightest. Glad to be rid.

    I'll come back and read when I get the chance.

    Take care y'all! :wave:
    Please call me 'Pickle'

  • I bought a new wardrobe the other week and finally got round to putting it together this weekend.

    That means entirely clearing the area where the new wardrobe is going.

    Luckily i didn't find anything that I'd forgotten buying :rotfl:

    But i have now got a small space to put my entire stash and quite frankly, it's not enough space :eek:

    I think there is probably more i could add to my UU list really, but some of it is stuff I'm going to use at certain times etc, some of it is just one-use samples and some of it is the stash i will be left with eventually.

    No more UU's yet, but I'll keep plugging away :o
  • Few UUs:
    13. Candle Belle French Lavender Mega Melt. WBA. Will probably buy this as a candle next time. I like to get the wax melts from this company as a way of trying them because the candles only come in one large size. I do prefer candles to melts though so I'm going to turn my melts into little candles I think.
    14. Primark Wild Orchid and Honey candle. WBA
    15. Imperial Leather Peppermint and Eucalyptus Showergel. WNBA. Got this in £land. It's nice but quite drying so I decanted most of it when the handsoap ran out and am using it that way.

    And because being off sick and stuck at home = a Superdrug order, I also have some INs:
    6. Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Fantasy
    7. Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Breathless
    8. Sleek Eyeshadow Palette in On The Horizon
    :)
