No buying unnecessary toiletries-November 2016

dolly84

evilsquid - glad the wedding went well.

abbe89 - I tried some of those Argan oil foot socks and they made my feet feel nice and soft but also weird - I couldn't decide whether my feet were freezing or burning.

I have two uu's

Maybelline Dr Rescue All in one - WBA and already have.

Seche Vite - I used Seche Restore with this and got all but the last drops out as it is just too difficult to get enough on the brush now. WBA and already have more.

Do you have any of the new shower milks? I noticed they don't foam up as much as the original ones. My mum is a chemist and thinks it's probably because they are intended to be more moisturizing than foaming. Apparently we don't need all the foaminess to get clean, and when I had problems with dry skin she suggested I use something less foamy.

It's one of their old, and sadly, discontinued shower creams. It's the Shea Butter and Honey, it's just very runny in general. It is very moisturising but it does foam up as well

One UU:

Original Source Shea Butter & Honey shower cream WBA, if I could, but it's sadly been discontinued and I only found it in my local B&M earlier this year. I miss a few of the older Original Source products

But that's my last Original Source finished! :j Now I'm down to 7 shower gels

How odd! They do make my feet feel cold, but I just whack a pair of wooly socks on and that sorts it out!

Another UU this morning - 1 x Mitchum spray deodorant. HG product for me, it's the only one that I find works properly!

A quick update from me, UUs seem to be going slowly again, booo.

UU:
Olay 2in1 anti-wrinkle booster and firming serum. WNBA. It was cheap and cheerful, and not awful. But I've used much better!

Ins:
- 3 x Elemis PCMC 15ml tubes, with Tatler magazine Bought in 3 separate trips though! My local M&S just seems to have quite a few beside the food tills, so I pick one up if I'm buying something. I'll def use them all.
- Sleep i-Lust Palette in Hidden Gems (eye shadow) - I fell in love with the red when I spotted it in superdrug! The other colours are great too, I've been looking for a brighter green colour for ages. Got £1 off with my superdrug card too

I was very tempted by the Tatler PCMC mags in M&S, especially as I was picking up food withan M&S giftcard anyway but resisted.

But ended up with two Murad freebies anyway from ambling into Debenhams on the way back and a nice lady was handing them out round the floor.

I've got a few UUs - one body lotion and two sachet samples (I suppose everything counts!).

UU
Avon Strawberry and Guava Body Lotion 200ml - I'm pretty pleased to have used this up as I had been given it by a friend at least two years ago. I liked the scent, it absorbed quickly and made my skin soft so nothing to complain about. I'd probably buy it as Avon is good value but have plenty in the stash for now.
Hotel Shampoo sachet 15ml - This came from a hotel in Italy. It had a neutral scent but was a bit drying on my skin.
Palmer's Coconut Oil Body Lotion 5ml sample - I got this in a magazine. It smells lovely and felt great on my skin. I'd definitely consider buying it.

I have a toner, perfume sachet, a night cream, body lotion and the remains of a face mask which will hopefully get used up by the weekend.

I have some TA and UU to report.

I have had to TA 5 soaps we didnt realise i had a cardboard box full of my bomb cosmetics soaps in the garage still from moving. Found them yesterday and the ones on top were not usable. Mice had gotten into the box and eaten most of 5 of then and then peed and pood on them (lovely creatures). I was gutted as thats about a tenners worth of soap theyve ruined. Why on earth the mice ate the soap i do not know as i cant imagine they were that edible but never mind. Theres probably a load of mice running about frothing at the mouth.

Also had to throw away x2 packs of jonhsons face wipes that they had also chewed holes in the packets then peed on them. They didnt touch the wipes but the packaging was disgusting and as they had made holes in it the wipes were dried out. I am so annoyed as johnsons wipes werent cheap. So got to replace them now :-/

And then i have a couple of UU:

Boots no.7 radiance exfoliator 15ml- WNBA didnt feel like it was doing much, the packaging was a pain to get the last bits of product out and it didnt smell that nice.

Sanex dermo invisible deodorant spray - WBA does the job and lasts a good while and has a pleasant scent.

I am still in an ongoing battle with my employer about disability discrimination. The nights drawing in and christmas approaching arent doing much to make my mood any better. This is normally my favourite time of year and should be happy in this new house but the rodent and work problems are putting a downer still. I just desperately miss the residents and the independent hpuse and my slerp ins, that was my happy place i cluld escale to and be myself. I dont have that anymore and im still shocked at how things have changed, i just wish i could go back in time. I know its time to move on but its so hard as i loved that job so much and im not me without that place as silly as it sounds. I have a job interview next thursday and i do really want this job, i just hope i dont mess it up but i guess its practice. I spoke to another solicitor yesterday who had told me they are most likely taking their sweet time over the grievance as they know i have only 3 months from the issue occuring to start a tribunal process. She told me i must register with the acas early concilation to protect my claim so i dont run out of time should i need to go to tribunal. She said the conciliation thing lets them know im considering acting on this which might make them more likely to settle this sooner and out of a tribunal. Ive registered so hopefully this will get things moving again. This is the second solicitor ive spoken to who belives they are discriminating against me.

Hope everyone is ok anyway.

I have a uu

Organic Surge First Class Mask 30ml - I really liked this and have added it to my list of products to buy when I actually need them.

Good luck with your interview Gemzie.
