No buying unnecessary toiletries-November 2016

Three UUs;

Lush Pumpkin bath bomb WBA, a lovely scent and a really nice bath bomb in general.

Avene Eau Thermale Water Spray WDBA. It's so refreshing and soothing. I use it throughout the day to refresh my skin, or after cleansing to give a hydration hit

La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra Contour Yeux sample WMB. It was soothing for my eye area. I have a £5 off voucher/code so if I decide to buy this or the Toleriane Ultra Fluide I can save a bit of money.

Would everyone mind telling me with perfume they use. Might have something useful to tell you.

lynseydee,

- Nina Ricci Les Belles de Ricci (original, discontinued )
- Jean Paul Gaultier Madame Eau de Parfum (not the toilette, it smells different!)
- Gucci by Gucci

Lynseydee: Usually Paco Rabanne Lady Million (Or Zara Gold if I'm skint!)
I'm currently lusting over: Nuxe Prodigieux and one of the new Miss Dior ones (can't remember which - think it may have been Absolutely Blooming) although they are totally out of my budget right now!

Two more UU today:

24.Molton Brown Ziao Jao Hairwash Miniture WNB - free hotel mini bottle but wasn't a massive fan of the smell.
25.Unknown Shampoo Another decanted shampoo

Adding in a TA:
26.Simple Kind to Skin Deodrant WNNNNNNNNBA - hated this. Claims to be skin loving, for sensitive skin but it smells like alcohol and stings my skin. It's the only roll on deodorant I've had that has done this. Used half but can't stand it. It doesn't even last an hour either.

Another UU:

Alberto Balsam Anti-oxidant Blueberry Conditioner WBA. It smells nice and it leaves my hair soft. And for £1, it's a bargain. I had been saving the last bit to use as a quick hair mask as I've dyed my hair this afternoon and I like to give it some nourishment after I dye it. I am excited to start using the Tigi Dumb Blonde set I bought.

I may have picked up a few copies at the weekend.

hello everyone!

I'm back from honeymoon now. wedding went brilliantly and the holiday was great and well needed! i went a bit mental in Sephora though and combined with the love lula box and vegan kind beauty box I've amassed a total of 96 ins this month :eek:

Glad all went well with your wedding evilsquid. Come on, spill the beans re: your Sephora haul. (sitting here salivating).

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..

My thoughts are with you here Gemzie. It may be worth registering with ACAS to chivvy your employer along.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend

I have considered trying PCMC but worried that it will clog my (fairly young) combination skin that is soooo prone to congestion and clogged pores (plus dehydration and a fine line on my forehead!?) Does anyone here use it and have similar skin to mine?

I have normal/combination skin. I get an oily t zone however the PCMC is a gel like texture and very light. Has never caused a break out and I've been using it since about 2006 I think.

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.

The candle is one of the new Christmas ones 'orange bitters'. It's beautiful looking in a gold, cream and black harlequin patterned jar. Interestingly the box it came in smells stronger than the candle itself - lovely smell though. Citrus is either amazing or toilet cleaner-esque, this one is amazing, but then considering the price it should be, out of curiosity I looked it up on the website OMG! :eek:. My DD's have been warned - only mum can light this candle. I fully believe in the whole Pink Rose Candle Philosophy, but still...
