No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2016

VALM

MRM has ordered the LE TSV for me. The 2 C&P will go to Emma as Stocking fillers, I will keep the toner and moisturiser, the hand wash and hand soap will be birthday gifts for my sister and I'll hopefully sell the Eyebright.

I have a uu

Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Miracle Solid Balm - WNB, this was very hard and the only place I could apply it was my feet and I didn't find it moisturising at all.

After a fairly prolonged spell of being unwell my house needs a really good sort out (and some spring cleaning:eek:). It is time for me to get a grip and organise my stuff and throw anything that does not earn it's keep, or cannot be repurposed:D

TA
4ml tube Clinique lip colour/gloss. Time to give up on it, doesn’t suit me anymore and messy. 1/2
Approx ¼ of 100 ml Hairfix hair tonic, It should be applied, left overnight and shampooed out, but I keep forgetting to use it, been hanging around for a very long time. 2/3

VALM - great divison of the LE TSV, it is so tempting, but so not necessary ATM

Gemzie - so sorry that the work thing is still hanging over you, virtual hugs and support coming your way. x

I hope you're feeling a bit better Maddy? I'm still feeling pretty awful I've been back at work but can't shake my cough at all and it's keeping me up and causing a lot of pain!

I have some minor UUs
Rest of the comforter lush bubble bar WMBA but want to try other bubble bars as a bit sickly sweet for me
Sample of bare minerals mascara WNBA I don't think as there are cheaper ones as good.
Bourjois volume seconds mascara WBA as is good!

However the in of Max Factor false lash epic is next to try (forgot it said as an in)

Lots spluttering and hope to finish soon

I'm trying to convince myself not to buy it but the value is amazing and with easy pay it's even more tempting. I'm telling myself if I buy it, it will encourage me to get into a routine of cleansing again. Do you think I'm just kidding myself :rotfl:

No problem. I am responding well to treatment for a long standing, but recently diagnosed condition, and the worst of the cold bug has gone, but I seem to be even more lifeless than usual. LOL

I hope that your cough goes away soon, apologies if this has already been mentioned (brain fog:(), but have you tried the head over a bowlful of very hot water before you go to bed?, the addition of menthol crystals, Olbas oil, Tea Tree oil or Lavender oil is even better for me.

Keep warm and take care.:)

Hope you're both on the mend, maddiemay and Houseplant!

Gemzie I can't believe how long your awful work situation is dragging on! Are you at least getting statutory sick pay? I think you're definitely right to apply for other things in the meantime. I remember you say you worked in health records at a hospital so have you thought about a ward clerk job? I'm in the NHS and know quite a few people who have gone from records to ward clerk or reception. I know it's not the same as what you do now but there is still at least contact with people.

I love Olive Branch! Once you get used to the consistency and remember to shake it! Pop in the Bath and Christmas Penguin bubble bars have the same scent too.

Quick update with a few UUs.
21. L’Oreal Micellar Cleansing Gel WNBA. I don't like this. I used some it up as a brush cleanser but it wasn't even very good at that. Unfortunately I have another one but as it is unopened I might pass it on to the refuge before Christmas.
22. Yorkshire Soap Company Relaxing Bath Blaster WNBA. I was really unimpressed with this. It left the water with a scummy film and didn't smell of anything once it had dissolved.
23. L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Hand Cream WMBA. This was a little 10ml one from last years Advent calendar. It was fine, quite a nice light scent but not as moisturising as others from there.

Hope everyone's had a nice weekend

Thanks I appreciate the kind words. The steam thing is great, I'd been too lazy/overwhelmed to do t but this morning i made myself and it did ease my cough a bit.

I can so relate to the brain fog concept! I get this on a 'good day' but it's awful on ill days. I hope your condition becomes manageable again. I have mental health concerns, and some long standing physical conditions. They're pretty well managed but it's only lately I've been trying to make some efforts to not just waddle along as I am if that makes sense and be more proactive about getting support.

Face Food Vitamin C Face Mask 6ml - I've liked all the face food masks I've used and they are very cheap in places like Savers. This one is a peel-off mask. WMBA but recently I've preferred using mud masks. I have about 4 sachet face masks left in the stash and when they're gone I'll focus on my tube face masks to get them used up.
