No buying unnecessary toiletries-November 2016

lynseydee

I'm in again this month.

Started off really well trying to cleanse, tone and moisturise to justify buying the LE TSV but this week hasn't been so good. My house gets quite cold and as my bathroom is downstairs it always feels cold in there.

The other thing I want to try and do is use body lotion before I go to bed as I have more time to use it then but again my bedroom always feels really cold and all I want to do when I go to bed is quickly get my nightie on and get into bed.

Tonight I have turned my heating up to full whack and going to gradually turn it down until I find a temperature that makes the house feel cosy. I did have it on 21 and turned it up to 22 which should have been ok but I've been feeling so cold I thought this is stupid and turned it up to max.

No specific PP for me this month - just setting myself a target of 10 items. And at least 5 of them will be full sized items, no just using up nose strips to achieve it!! Haha

Used a load of samples up when i had my shower this evening. I think my samples are breeding as i keep finding more. I want to use them up before i start on my full size products again.

Lush dont rain on my parade shower gel sample- WBA as full size and already have done. I like the scent of this, how much it lingers and the pretty teal colour.

Lush fairly traded honey shampoo sample- WNBA didnt like the smell of this much, it reminded me of dog shampoo/wet dog. did an ok job but the smell just wasnt my thing and i normally love honey scents.

Lush karma kream body lotion sample- WBA as full size. Love the smell of this and how the scent lingers. Can still smell it around me hours later.

Lush smugglers soul solid perfume sample- WBA as full size but i would probably get the liquid version. Id rather pay more as i find the solids dont last as long scent wise and are far weaker. Liquids are quicker and easier to use too. I did like the smell of this one.

Lush pink peppermint foot lotion sample- WBA as full size and already have. This is a fresh minty scented lotion that does the job well and i love that its pink.

Re - nails chipping I put base coat, two colour coats (better than one thick one) and top coat which I then top up with clear each day. The top up is quick and makes the varnish shine and last a few more days.

Morning everyone

I'm in again this month as need to get as much out as possible. Still no news on the house move so should have enough time to hopefully get through a few items. Just need to stop being lazy and make sure I do my routines everyday.

Will update with PP later.

Thanks

More UUS:-

Elemis PCMC - do not have a single solitary drop of this left. My HG moisturiser. Have switched to the Oxygenating Night Cream as I have loads of this. Please Santa ......

L'Occitane Shea Milk soap - love this. Have another in stash however I'm switching in the matching body lotion which I've now cut open.

Repainted nails again and am wearing OPI Thank Glogg It's Friday (wish it was!).

Benefit RSVP cream shadow. This is a small tub that came with the Natural Eyes palette. Has a big dent in it.

Benefit No Pressure cream shadow. Same as above although this does not have a big dent in it but I smashed the lid some time ago so don't want it to go off.

So, I've located my finish 5 by Xmas list:-

Smashbox Illume lipgloss. I threw this away last week as I'd taken the stopper out and the gloss was getting every where.

Rimmel white eyeliner. Still going strong.

Benefit Dallas powder. Need to try harder with this.

Benefit RSVP and No Pressure cream shadows. RSVP is going well. Have hit pan at the bottom and am using product from around the sides of the jar. Will start on No Pressure when this is gone I think.

Have you checked the draught proofing, we have our heating set to 16 degrees and it is cosy. We would be melting at 22.

Repainted my nails last night with Sally Hansen Plums the Word, last time I used this it chipped quickly so I will see how I go this time, love the colour though.

Just got around to sorting my PP list, several things rather optimistic, but helps keep me focussed:D

50ml Elemis Omega Rich Cleansing Oil
30ml Rosehip Plus Rosehip Oil
41g Mitchum 48 hour solid AP/Deo
59ml Perricone MD nourishing moisturiser.
30ml Perricone MD Chia serum
50ml Unknown styling spray (decanted into another spray bottle when original stopped working – can’t remember what it was! )
5ml Lancome Visionnaire Cream
50ml Alpha-H Protection Plus spf 50+
5ml Vichy Liftactiv Advanced Filler
Sample size MAC mascara

Final scores for October were UU 7/82, IN 6/76, TA 3/4, GA 0/1, could do better, but keeping the INs less than the OUTs:D.

After a few months of having great finger nails, they are looking a bit poorly at present, really need to keep them painted all the time, but have failed miserably last few days, all routines seem to have slipped (hate the short days, I really need lots of light for my well being, SAD light is out, just need to use it more:()

I'm in too, thanks for starting us off.

I'm aiming for 10 UUs in November and no more than £5 spent on INs. Only managed 6 UU in October though 4 were LHJs.

I GA the Bobbi Brown Longwear foundation that I hated and feel much better for it. Back to my £5 Rimmel foundation and no messing in future.

My Victorian house was the same, though better now after insulating and putting in an indoor bathroom (!) - but I still can't face putting body lotion on between October and April.
