I'm definitely not going to buy anything next month. Only thing I might need next month is more SPF, but I shall use what I have first.0 -
Bad month scores wise:
UUs - 29
INs - 40
TAs - 20 -
OMG don't know where October disappeared to but it's the last day of the month. :eek:
No purchased INs but I do have several INs to test, baby wipes, moisturising lotion and a shampoo. Finding it really difficult to have some OUTs though, think because it's getting colder things are slowing down and become thicker.:pLife is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

Bodyshop spiced apple moisturiser - WBA smell was gorgeous, do have another couple somewhere but gonna UU what is listed above before I open it.
Loreal triple active night cream - WNBA this was okay, had a lovely fragrance but didn't notice much difference on the old fizzog (face) so onto the next!
Lancome miracle - WBA this is my favourite perfume ever, already dug another bottle out of the stash, I buy this when it is on sale or get it for Christmas or birthdays which is good.
TA
Camden market moisturiser - WNBA these started to smell a bit funny so threw them out.

That coating is what's known as hard pan. You can either try removing it with sellotape or scrape it. I was using cuticle nippers to scrape the surface in the end. I was wondering if it was due to my storing it in the bathroom but a lot of people on facebook have complained about the apparent change in formula.
Thanks, this was really helpful - sellotape did the job! I've now switched back to a 'Fair' one I already had open, as I realised the medium was a little too dark now for my skin - and the fair is much softer and isn't forming the same coating.
It's really frustrating - I'd not heard of this before, and it's a shame, as it's a great powder.0 -

I have finished the bottle of OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons. Had a nail polish disaster day yesterday. First applied Essie Designated DJ in the morning. Inside the house and in daylight it looked to be a gorgeous maroon colour but in work it looked bright purple. Am going to donate this to a co-worker. Then tried to apply OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons and found it had run out. Was applying streakily like tippex so it's gone. I do own a back up bottle of this for some reason so am pleased about that as it's probably my favourite nude. Then applied OPI Manicurist of Seville however again this was applying streakily and although I managed to build it up, it looks meh. Bit gutted that it's been discontinued however apparently OPI Miami Beet is a good dupe so I've put this on my Christmas Wish List. I'll have to repaint my nails tomorrow though.
The franken shadow containing the Lorac Pro Pink Mauve is steadily being used up and I'm hoping it will be gone next week. I like the mixture but find it a bit tedious having to wet my brush to apply it.
Hopefully, the Bare Minerals Gen Nude lip lacquer will be gone soon too as I've taken the stopper out and can see all the way to the bottom of the bottle. There only appears to be product on the wand itself.
Finally, the pan in the Orgasm blush is widening. I think that once I've used up the franken shadow I will crush this powder into the pot I'm using as the palette pan is small and it's going to get to the point where I won't be able to get product onto a brush.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!
