    GWP are my downfall. I've been avoiding my favourite department store because Lancôme is doing theirs this month!

    I fully understand the "wet" deodorant thing. Rolls on are just too wet!

    Not to be an enabler or anything but there are places on the internet where you can buy the gwp by itself.

    Who's your favourite department store? Mine's Debenhams!

    I only use roll-ons in glass bottles as I find the plastic ones give out way to much product, try Nivea or Fenjal, they're both good!

    I have a uu

    Body Shop British Rose Instant Glow Body Butter 50ml - this was another of DD's which she received as a gift (she has eczema and finds these things irritate it), I didn't see the 'instant glow' but it was lovely all the same.

    There is a charity named Smart Works and they help low-income women to be interview-ready by providing smart clothing, make-up and accessories including bags and shoes.

    They will be collecting in the office next week and I'm planning to donate some products that I know I won't be using anytime soon. I have so far earmarked an Eyeko Mascara, an NYC lipstick that i bought from Poundland and a Body Shop lip butter. So 3 GA for now.

    I will be giving away 8 products. I know i will never use them so they may as well be useful to someone.

    In addition to above

    Pur - Disappearing Act concealer
    Hot Make Up bronzing powder
    Opi Nail Lacquer - Crawfishin' for a Compliment
    Shay & Blue Blood Oranges Spray Fragrance
    Bare Essentials Highlighting Pencil

    Back from Newcastle and have some INs

    The Tesco Extra there has a mini beauty department. Emma was actually interviewed for a job there but the rota was unsuitable so she didn't get the job. Was really impressed by the variety of ranges. Bought a Neutogena hydro boost eye gel as it was half price. It claims to make a difference in 3 days.

    Emma donated to me her bottle of Paco Rabanne Olympea. Love this fragrance.

    Hair conditioner from hotel as I have none. Also brought home the shower cap. Left the shower gel and shampoo there.
    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!

    4 UU

    Tesco Natural Extracts Strawberry Body Butter 50ml - Impressed with Tesco's body butters. WDBA.

    Beauticology Baylis & Harding Milk Chocolate Shower Creme 100ml - Used this up as a handwash as not a huge fan of B&H. Have another one on the go as handwash. WNB.

    Cute or What Bath Bomb - Got this in a gift set years ago. Nice enough but not tempted to buy.

    Boots Essential Cucumber Moisturising Cream 100ml - I loved this. WDBA as it was really effective and just as good as more expensive creams I have used.

    Have a few things with not much left so hope to have more UU by the end of the month. INs - toothbrush and toothpaste tube from when I forgot to pack it for a weekend away.

    I've taken something out of my stash, and I'll see if anyone I know wants it otherwise it's getting thrown away. It's the Superdrug Avocado & Manuka Honey Conditioning Spray 150ml It's been making my scalp itch like mad when I've used it.

    I've repainted my nails and am wearing OPI Apartment for Two. Strange that it's a Christmas colour.
