No buying unnecessary toiletries-November 2016

I have a uu

L'occitane Shea Bubble Bath 500ml - this smells nice but that is it and is no where near special enough to justify a £20 price tag. WNBA.

Good news another eye shadow hit pan this morning so its definitely going down. I'm hoping to have an eye shadow UU by the end of the week, as it was just remnants around the edges of the pan and these are starting to disappear now. Its nice to see that I'm UU stuff up despite the quantity of eye shadows that I own.


No movement in the nail varnish department, but have been painting my nails every week, so something must be UU soon.

Three INs:

Superdrug Simply Pure Hydrating Serum x 2
La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water

I've been wanting to try the Hydrating Serum for a while now, and I thought I'd get two since it's buy one get one half price. And I want to see how LRP Thermal Spring Water compares to Avene' Thermal Spring Water. And my Avene one is nearly finished.

I think I'm going to spend my afternoon wrapping all the Christmas presents I've bought so far. And then try to figure out what I could buy for my gran for Christmas

Afternoon all
Gemzie everything crossed for you for the interview
Evilsquid congratulations on the wedding, hope everything went perfectly.
Hope everyone is well

A few UUs here
Two handcream tubes have been finished off one was a boots royal jelly one the other salonniere by Jenny packham that on smelt gorgeous was lovely thick and creamy but went on really well and didn't clog or feel greasy.
A deodorant spray has been used up and a bathbomb went in the tub with me on Friday night. I have a feeling I may be getting bathbombs for Christmas so am using up the few I have left before then.

I'm on my third simply pure hydrating serum. I really like it. Its quite thick for a serum and I find that as long as I've used something richer as a night cream I can usually get away with just this in the morning. Makeup goes on top nicely too so don't always need to prime:)

I've heard a lot of great things about it on Instagram, and I thought, I need to try this. I've got normal to combination skin, so I think I'm just going to try using this just on a night as a booster under my normal moisturiser, and see how it goes. It's good to hear other users are fans of it

At last some movement to report.

UU
41g Mitchum 48 hour solid AP/Deo 4/86
Sample size MAC mascara 5/87
50ml Unknown styling spray (decanted into another spray bottle when original stopped working – can’t remember what it was! ) 6/88
Bobbi Brown Lip Treatment (Lost, but counting as a UU) 7/89

GA
RAOK 2 small items of skincare. 2&3/3

IN mag reebie not in challenge Leighton Denny Sink into Mink nail polish.

I am being badly tempted by a 6 piece Nails Inc collection, in my defence I have only spent £7.75 on strictly non essential toiletries this month, the lip treatments were essential:D

UU's

No.7 'coral flush' blush - hand me down from DD, nice enough but I have others to use up.

Garnier Synergie Wrinkle Lift A Eye Cream - I am not very good at using eye creams, so this was used a bit sporadically. Did seem to smooth things out a bit though. WMBA but I have others to use up first.

Garnier mini conditioner that came with dye kit - DD passes these on to me and I use them at the gym.

IN
DD bf has been working in the US and brought me a lovely Jo Malone candle back.

A quick update from me, nothing much happening toiletries wise!

One in:
another 15ml Elemis PCMC My local M&S still had quite a few of the Tatler magazines on the shelves when I passed this morning to grab a quick breakfast, so nabbed one.

No UUs for a while, but I've got lots of little spots at the moment, grrrr. I was moving over the weekend, so I think it's a combination of stress and hormones. They'll hopefully all go over the next few days.

I really want a long soak in the bath, facemask etc, but I have no time! I've got loads on this week and weekend, plus new Ikea things to build, and lots of boxes and cases to unpack

Maybe Sunday eve...

shandyclover - that was a nice gift, will you let us know how it burns/smells as they are very expensive so would be interesting to hear if they are worth the money.

I have a uu

YSL Paris EDP 50ml - I've been buying this for years and will continue to do so, I do have another in the stash for now though.
