I have been looking at LF one but as i can't sneak peek, I wasn't sure about buying. Reviews are good though! Could you give me some spoiler

I do like the hotel chocolat idea too :P

The contents list (for the things I count anyway) is in my edited post #9 so people don't accidentally see it

Kadison - thanks for that, lots of things that I would use/like to try, but my skin care stash is still HUGE and I am not allowing myself to buy an advent calendar or one of the lovely big reward type sets until the stash is well down. I was shopping the stash for an eye cream last night (found one, but too heavy for day I think so have ordered a Merumaya one) and I will be lucky to get my calendar for next year.

I am really good at my morning routine (joys of retirement:D), but really lazy at night and don't use up so many products quickly enough. Thinking of setting an alarm and doing my night routine while supper is cooking if not going out again:(

I have a uu

Boots Glycerine & Rosewater Toner - WBA if they still sell it, it is simple but does the job.

That was my last toner, I am going to see how I get on without it but if I do buy something it will be rosewater or witchhazel.

I've been continuing with my clear out in preparation for my purchases on holiday next week.

UU:
11. 7th Heaven Dead Sea Mud Mask - WNBA
12. NYX Setting Spray Dewy - WBA
13. Imperial Leather Shower Gel Mango and Papaya - WMBA
14. Palmolive Strawberry Touch Shower Gel - WDBA
15. Urban Decay Primer Potion 5ml - WDBA
16. Lush Snow Fairy 250ml - WDBA
17. L'Oreal Clay Conditioner - WDBA
18. Garnier Moisture Bomb Moisturiser sachet - WNB

Just the one purchase to add Aussie Detangler Spray, haven't had this in ages and definitley missed it. Alternating between the Wilkinson's version and this.

And my Give away/ Throw away list - i tried to use the rule that if i couldn't remember when i'd bought it it needed to go.

1. Revlon Matte Balm in Elusive - colour wasn't right
2. Benefit They're Real Lipstick in Pink Thrills - same with this one
3. Seche Vite - I couldn't get anymore on the brush without tipping it constantly so was happy to let it go
4. Anastasia Beverly Hills - Colour was much darker and i hated the formula.
5. Rimmel Colour Crush Lipstick Keep Mauving - gone off
6. Body Shop Hand cream - This was one i'd bought the other week, it exploded on the plane whilst i was working and i wasn't going to salvage the rest and make a mess of my handbag!
7. Benefit Give Me Brow - old and dislike the product
8. Revlon Colourburst Lipstick Peach - very old
9. L'oreal J Lo's Nude Lipstick - does not suit me
10. Revlon Kiss Me Coral Lipgloss - Old
11. Collection Define and Perfect Eyebrow powder - terrible product
12. Soap and Glory Supercat Eyeliner - old
13. Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner - old
14. Bourjois Velvet Liquid Lipstick Grand Cru - gone off
15. Maybelline Colorsensational gloss in 550 - old
16. Benefit They're real Lipstick Flame Game - far too orange
17. Revlon Superlustrous Gloss Berry Allure - old
18, Barry M Lipstick in 162 - gone off
19. Tartiest Lip paint mini in a lilac colour - never going to wear this!
20. L'oreal Caresse Lipstick in 301 coral - old
21. Mann Glo Illuminator - not what i want when i have oily skin!

I feel better for decluttering these and won't feel so bad when i inevitably go a bit mad in Sephora! Hopefully the UU will be better next month too.

Going to try for no INs this month, I really have enough of everything now :A

Totals for October:

8 UU
4 IN

Better than last month but still not as good progress as I'd hoped.

Started the month with 161 products, ended with 157. Slow month again. Determined to UU more next month!

I cannot do my totals, my laptop is poorly and needs to go to computer hospital, fingers crossed it is not terminal. I had better start a pen and paper list for November.

So my totals for the month are:

UUs - 16
INs - 16
OUTs - 0
TAs - 3

Not a bad month overall, let's hope I can keep up with the UUs in November. My stash is decreasing slowly
