    I have ordered somet stuff from Nip+Fab as I received a %50 discount code via email and they arrived. So INs are:

    Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads x 2 HG

    Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme x 2 HG

    Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads Travel Sized (should have ordered 2 but forgot to add the 2nd one!)

    Deep Cleansing Fix 300 ml - Gets good reviews and always wanted to try. I will use it for the first cleanse. Hoping it won't be too drying.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Last week was long and busy for me. Feeling a bit blue now but watching fireworks tonight so that might help. I will try to keep away from shopping too!

    Hi

    This is my first update of November

    UU
    Body Shop Satsuma Lip Balm
    Child's Farm Face & Body Moisturiser
    Avon Premium De Luxe Gold Blush
    Westlab Espom Salt
    Superdrug B Glycolic Cleansing Peel
    Superdrug B Micellar Water
    Palmolive Sensitive Shower Gel

    IN
    Avon Premium De Luxe Parfum Gold Blush x 4
    Avon Suncare Pure and Sensitive Suncream x 3
    Avon Plant Spa Procence Spa Bubble Bath
    The Rose Garden Calming Oil - Rose and Ylang Ylang
    Bare Essentual Original Mineral Veil
    Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Foundation

    Total = 85

    PP
    Should not need to buy anymore as hopefully will gets loads for Xmas!

    Not sure what other people are like, I go into hibernating mode during the winter months and start stockpiling not just beauty products, everything.

    I probably would not brought as much if Avon didn't discontinue my products. There Premium De Luxe Gold Blush is amazing, I get so many comments and has 5 star reviews but looks like they are discontinuing it.

    On a good note, I just discover an amazing bath oil made by the Rose Garden. It is amazing!! I am bath oil fiend and used and smelt many products such as ESPA, Aromotherapy Assocaites, Neom, Elemis but this one beats them hands down . Pricey, yes but absolutely luxurious and what you need after a stressful day!

    Refunded! Maybelline Matt Ink lipstick - loyalist. Shade quite different from packaging and horrible! Sticky, peeled off lips. I don’t get this matt trend. I think I get more frustrated now when I buy something and it’s crap.

    IN
    Mabelline 24hr colour lipstick - Roaring rose. Brighter than expected but nice.
    Herbal Essences Daily Detox Conditioner - 400ml

    I have a uu

    Philosophy Pure Grace Whipped Body Cream - this was lovely but didn't last very long, WMBA but not at full price.

    I have sold two haircare items and a foundation on ebay today so that's 3 outs plus I have put a Maybelline nail polish in Pink in the Park in the charity bag. I did also put two BN MUA eye palettes in the charity bag but DD has taken them for herself.

    IN
    Aussie Beach Mate - deep conditioner, conditioner, oil spray (all on clearance at Boots). My first unnecessary purchase in a while - I'll need to stay away from my most tempting places :)

    UU
    Herbal Essences Volumising Conditioner 400ml - Purchased for 90p in clearance. It did the job and definitely volumised my hair. WDBA.
    Timotei Organic Delight Shampoo 180ml - This was only £1 in my local pharmacy and I like SLS free shampoos. If my hair was really dirty, I'd prefer to use a different shampoo however this was fine for everyday use. WMBA.
    Superdrug Fruit Sorbet Peel-Off Mask 10ml - Got 2-3 uses out of this. It was good quality for this kind of mask however I won't be using peel-off masks again as I find them to fiddly. Will stick to other face masks in my stash. WNBA.
    Pure Feminine Complete Cleansing Wipes (Pack of 30) - I liked these wipes however I don't think I'll purchase these again for a while as I'll probably just stick to something like baby wipes.
    Britney Spears Fantasy Body Souffle 100ml - I used this up in October. I love scented lotion and the scent lingered for a long time even though I'd had the bottle for a while.
    MUA Primer - Had this for a while and lasted a long time. Have replaced with another cheap primer I got from the New Look sale but when I finish that, might try something more expensive. WMBA.

    Another UU : VS hair colour kit
    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!

  • Hadn't been updating my spreadsheet for over a month, after a quick update I'm pleasantly surprised that I had more Outs than realised. Started November with 157 but am on 145 as of today. Yay :-)
  • Right some UU and TAs and a few INs.

    UU
    Neals Yard Rosemary Bodywash - WDNBA smelt amazing in Shop and for a bit but scent totally went and also didn’t lather or moisturiser bit of a non product
    Mystery gold mascara think it was L’Or!al - WBA was good very fine plastic wand and seemed to suit my lashes and give good definition

    Sample UU
    Shu Umera youthful bouncey fine cream - was lovely but likely a bit too expensive and after one tiny sachet hard to tell if worth it!
    Decleor Aruabsolu eyecream - WNB nothing special to me
    Sunday Riley CEO serum - WNB didn’t seem anything that life changing
    Clark’s Botanicals Smoothing marine cream - WDB if I had the money!!!!!!! Was amazing but alas insanely expensive

    TA
    Nivea soft rose lip balm - old and pink and shiny too teenage
    Unsure of brand peachy pink lip crayon - old and too pinky toned as above
    Topshop double ended highlighting pencil - doesn’t sharpen properly and old, have similar things that are better
    Collection 2000 waterproof mascara - bought for a holiday and wasn’t!
    Bobbi Brown blotting papers - don’t get them all they did was remove my makeup! Waste of money.

    Ins
    Lush Oat shower gel
    Lush night before Christmas bubble bar
    Lush cloak of invisibilty bath melt

    L’Or!al paradise brow pomade (seems good)
    L’Or!al paradise mascara (bit transferring)
    As was 3for3 also got Maybelline Baby Doll Mascara

    Emma Hardie skin kit with the balm cleanser (old HG should have stuck with), anti age moisturiser (might be too rich), small facial oil (love this was once a HG but the bottle it’s in is terrible!) and the prep n prime. My skin went terrible and I know this stuff works for me, but worried the moisturiser is too rich but even if was a good value buy.

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    Two UUs today:

    SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml WDBA and have. I love this SPF it's great and lightweight and there's no white cast. I use this everyday and it's lasted me just over two months with daily usage.

    La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 SPF50 40ml WNBA. I used to love this but it irritates my skin. Pity, it's great for reducing the appearance of scars.

    I'm off to a good start this month. Hopefully I can keep my spending down this month. I have made a tiny Boots order, so I'll have some INs to report in a few days.
  • First UU of November:

    John Masters Scalp Shampoo. WBA. Really like this but now on to my mega litre of Aveda.
