No buying unnecessary toiletries-November 2016

VALM

Hi all. Finally caught up. Had a busy weekend up in Newcastle with Emma. Bought a new lip balm as my lips are really dry and I didn't have one with me.

Perfumes I wear:-

Paco Rabanne Olympea
L'Occitane Jasmine and Bergamot
Philosophy pure grace
Joe Malone Dark Ginger and Amber.
Abercrombie Blushed




I have others but these are my faves.

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.

Not wishing to be an enabler:(, but there are often reductions of up to 1/3 off French Pharmacy brands such as LRP/Vichy on line. Look fantastic .com have a 25% off offer at the moment, Escentual only offering 15%. These offers seem to crop up pretty much monthly from one source or another.:money:

I'm a French Pharmacy fan, and I've been sat staring at my FeelUnique basket because for Black Friday they have a 1/3 off selected La Roche Posay and then 25% off Bioderma products (Two of my favourite brands). Do I press buy? It's so tempting. I've never had a look on Look Fantastic before, thanks

One last UU today and one TA:

UU:
Lush The Comforter Body Lotion WNBA. Although I liked this, I'm so glad to have finished it. It's a lovely scent, but I'm getting sick of it. That's one more black pot for my pile to return. I only have one proper body lotion left.

TA:
Nivea Pure & Natural Day Cream WNBA. It's been irritating my skin lately and I'm at the end of my patch testing for a different moisturiser. I have to be carefully with how I introduce a product to my routine, and I think I introduce this one too quickly, and it's starting to cause irritation.

Just a little UU today for me, taking me to 12.

Travel size Sanctuary Spa Radiance Exfoliator - WDBA, once I've used up my stash I think this is the face scrub I'll use moving forward (although I do love Lush Cup Of Coffee!). It does a good job, not too scratchy but you feel it working!

Noooooo! I'd totally forgotten about 'Black Friday' and bought my La Roche cream last weekend. Plus, I went out specially to get it. I know there's normally a deal on La Roche stuff but I couldn't see one at the time

So now I'm wondering whether to stock up as they're £10.30 instead of the £15.50 I paid. And then get the Vichy Noraderm cleanser to try too as there's a third off... Someone please convince me that there will be similar deals in January, when I hope to have a bit more money and will have used up my remaining stash cleansers?

There will be similar deals in January! At least one website (FeelUnique, Escentual, Look Fantastic, etc) has an offer for money off French Pharmacy every month, so try to stay strong! Even Boots has offers on LRP every so often. Stay strong!

i think my first used up of novemeber duchy original shower gel. it was lovely and would buy again readily. i have a load in to use up first. at least something good today.

i was hoping to exchange contracts on a house but there is an unexpected spanner in the works.

Oh ladies I'm feeling lousy and I'm in a real spendy mood. I won't but I want to buy all the lovely Christmas things!!!!! Curious to see what happens on Black Friday for space nk and cult beauty but I will try to refrain because I really can't afford anything. I've been so good and not even bought my new foundation yet (still on the testers!)
