    I currently have hubby using travel sized deo at work, and the whole family using samples of Colgate I picked up at the dentist last year :rotfl: DD (9yo) pleadingly asked me where the 'big one' was, but I've hidden it!

    No UU yet, though I'm really enjoying my streamlined cosmetics drawer. Just like project 333, I feel *more* glam with *less* to choose from. Last night I had a shower and properly did my whole skincare routine, slathered Keihl's body butter all over myself, put hair cream in and went to bed smelling glooooorious. Have also removed nail polish and cut/filed nails in prep for painting them, whenever I get round to it!

    Two UUs this morning:

    Avene Trixera Nutrition Nutri-fluid Cleanser 100ml WMBA. This was nice and gentle on my skin. It's designed for drier skins, and my skin can get really really dry in autumn/winter.

    Aquafresh Complete Care Whitening Toothpaste 75ml WBA. This is my go to toothpaste. But I'm trying a different one next, so I'll repurchase this at some point in the future.

    fixx - I'm not bothering with an advent calendar. I did the same as you last year, I asked myself what I would actually be prepared to pay for each item (some were £0) and then added that up.

    sstevo - I like the idea of the Hotel Chocolat one though - yum.

    I have a uu

    Dirty Works Peppermint Foot Butter - WMBA but do already have another tube as I got two when they were half price. It is nice but not amazing and I think Aqeous Cream works really well for feet.

    Made it through the duty frees without buying, nothing really tempted me

    UU- Ponds Exfiliating Renewal Wet Wipes, 30 count. Citrus and cucumber scent. Did the job. Finally usd the wet wipe mountain up!

    Pamper plan put on hold. Hotel room only has a shower and the water supply was really erratic this morning. Scalding to ice in the blink of an eye! Had to get the husband to rinse my hair over the wash basin with a glass!

    Two UUs:
    - Elemis frangipani monoi body oil mini. WBA - HG, love this oil, though I normally get them in some bonus deal, I've never paid full price.
    - Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Mask mini. WMB - nice, though not the best one from Elemis.

    TA
    - Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Renewal. Really irritated my eyes, made the skin red all around. I've let Elemis know and have a form from them to fill out.

    So a few updates to my PP list, yay.

    PP:
    - Clinique Clarifying lotion
    - [STRIKE]Elemis body oil[/STRIKE], plus 2 more body lotions or oils
    - Rituals foaming shower gel
    - Clinique day moisturiser
    - Caudalie serum
    - Smashbox primer
    - Laura Geller B&B foundation
    - [STRIKE]Elemis moisturising face mask[/STRIKE]
    - 2 more face masks
    - Batiste mini
    - Carrefour lip balm
    - Unani cleansing milk
    - Alpha-H liquid gold

    And some Ins:
    - Batiste original, half price at Superdrug. Was out, necessary purchase.
    - Sure deodorant, half price at boots, almost out.
    - Nyx Cosmic metals palette
    - Nyx concealer palette

    The two NYX palettes were pressies to myself when starting xmas shopping in boots during the weekend points offer. Should feel guilty, but don't at all - I looooove the eyeshadow colours, and needed new concealer.

    On eyeshadow, I have quite a lot of palettes now :o So I've started a new little routine - every evening once I'm home, or before bed, I've started doing some experimental eye makeup. I'm getting a much better idea of how to use the colours I have, and my technique is getting better too. Played with some blue, navy and petrol green colours this evening - bit odd, but fun.

  • September and October have been slow. I haven't used up even the minis I've opened. I only have boring products to report to hide my ins

    Uus:Superdrug sensitive aloe Vera hand gel : WMBA Not too drying and cheap.

    Ins:
    2 x Superdrug orange self heating mask
    1 X Superdrug mineral mask
    Carmex gift set with purchase from the face masks


    I did resist the M and S summer gift box which was on sale so not too bad.

    Hi everyone, I am going away tomorrow so packed some toiletries and hoping to use them. I UU'ed a couple of samples and 1 hand cream this week. Otherwise, it is a bit slow. My LF box has arrived and I have 6 INs. I will list them at some point. Hope all well.
