I have 2 uu to report:
TBS vitamin c daily moisturiser 50ml- WBA the scent is strange but fine when you get used to it. This is quite a thick and rich moisturiser. Sometimes my ekin felt too greasy if i used too much so a little goes a long way! For this reason this lasted forever. Worth the pennies. Going to use the little lush gorgeous moisturiser now that i have and then when thats gone i can shop my stash for a tube or tub of moisturiser.
Mitchum flower fresh roll on deodorant- WBA when on offer, smells pleasant and does the job really well.
I have a body scrub in the shower thats only got one use left so hopefullu can use that up tonight.
Ive been and got all my christmassy scented stuff out of the garage so ill probably have a long pp list for december. Cant believe where time has gone. House is still a mess after we had to bring most of our stuff in from garage due to the mice. Dont know where we are going to fit the christmas tree... A lot of sorting out to do. Still cant use the bath as still havent had my grab rail fitted so couldnt use the lush stuff on my pp... Nevermind. Hopefully next month will have one sorted. Not missing out on my christmas day soak!! Didnt get the job the other day but never mind, i have another interview next friday and one on the 12th too. Im pluggong away with the applications. And ive requested to see a remploy (they help disabled with working) to see if they can offer any advice and support. The best christmas present this year would just be a nice job that i can manage to do but i wonder if they are like gold dust.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

I don't expect to use up anything else today but I am really pleased with how many things I finished this month. Just one item from my PP list to carry over. I had better get plugging away with those 'finish 5 by Christmas' items though.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

One teeny UU sample of Clarins face scrub WPNB as I think I prefer the elemis one I bought and should get using.
Ins:
4 teeny samples of Elemental Herbology cleansers. I really want an oil cleanser once my next balm runs out which will be soon. Tried their oil cleanser out last night (half a sachet) and was lovely!!0 -
I had completely forgotten it's the end of the month. Not sure I will get a chance to add up totals cos work is manic and I'm away at the weekend. Have one more UU yesterday though:-
L'Oreal Lumi Magique primer. I liked this but needed to apply 1½ pumps each time so didn't seem very :money:. Have opened my supersized Spackle.
Anyone asking for makeup for Christmas?
We are going ot the Trafford Centre on Friday and I am so tempted to look at the new MAC mini palettes. I also still want the Too Faced Neutral Eyes one. I've also decided that I need to use Benefit Lemon Aid again and this is on my list to Santa. All depends if I've been nice I suppose.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

1 UU - coconut hair conditioner, not sure whose. Replaced with a raspberry Alberto Balsam one from stash.
1 IN - 3 hand soaps to add to the lifetime's supply. All for 50p at a car boot, so very little expense there.
I hope to inventory and make inroads into supplies in December when I should have more time.Solar Suntellite 250 x16 4kW Afore 3600TL dual 2KW E 2KW W no shade, DN15 March 14

Small collection of UU for me:
Hydraluron serum - not keen
Palmers Cocoa butter lip balm - HG
Nivea pearl deodorant - HG
Sample of L'occitane divine cream - too rich
Takes me to 9 UU for November compared to 4 Ins which I'm fairly pleased with.
Danger time: a big Superdrug has opened next to the out of town Sainsburys I shop at. I'm not a high end makeup girl. Managed to get in and out with no purchases on Saturday :A but not making any promises for the future!0 -
Well, that was a pretty p!ss poor month on the UU front!
I do have only 2 or 3 face wipes left tho before I'm out completely and will probably not buy any more of them if i can help it.
And the lady gaga fragrance I'm using is half the size of that fcuk that lasted me ages and ages and it's going down nicely!i think i have about half left now.

Evening everyone
My final UU for the month
Pro-collagen oxygenating night cream 15ml - have a full size of this but cannot decide if I like it. Skin did feel okay after using it and didn't feel greasy but really am not sure on the smell.
Looking forward to getting a few more out next including some LHJs.
