    Not doing too well on the use up front

    15ml? Perfume by Judith Muller (no label). 3/99
    Colgate Expert Complete toothpaste 4/100

    I am though being really good and ignoring all the BF deals that are presenting themselves:D, having entered everything on the spread sheet I am anxious to delete and not add in new.

    I joined Beauty Pie a couple of months ago, I have a good credit balance and not intending to buy for at least another month, perhaps two, I can then have a splurge on a few things that will be needed by then, possibly including some new brushes.:D

  • 2 throw outs today:

    Tresemme Silky Smooth Shampoo - I’ve had this bottle since I got back from uni...........4 years ago! I’m just going to throw it!
    Soap And Glory Dry Oil Body Gloss - I’ve used it once and the consistency is a bit odd. Shan’t be using again.

    Stash total is 135
    Less is the new more :D

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    One UU this morning:

    The Body Shop Almond Milk and Honey Hand Cream 30ml WBA. This was really nice and I know I get on with The Body Shop hand creams so I'll always buy these.

    I'm honestly not even tempted to buy any toiletries or skincare today. Most of the Black Friday offers seem underwhelming. I might make a Lush order in a few days time for some more of the Christmas range, but that's it.

    Laura Geller Bronzer Spackle gone. Won't buy the Bronzer version again. Someone at work today though asked if I put "a base down" under my makeup and asked what it is as my make up always looks smooth. My work here is done !!


    Lacura cotton wool pads. In the main cotton wool pads are cotton wool pads. Will buy from anywhere. I don't discriminate (although I remember the Sainsbury's ones were not great).

    ponypal - there are alternatives to floss in glass containers with metal lids which you refill but the floss was silk which is not an option for me as a vegan. The best option would be the glass container with regular floss - the lesser of many evils I suppose.


    VALM - I like Guinot Mask Essential the best, also like Glamglow Mud Mask but it is very expensive for such a small amount. Borghese Fango Active Mud is effective too as is the Una Brennan Clay mask.

    I bought the following, but I am trying to use some of my older stash items before I open anything. Everything got good reviews though, so I am hopeful. I am so much older than the target markets for make up and skincare (except Look Fabulous Forever), so most things I buy are bought with much anticipation and hope:rotfl::rotfl:

    Beauty Pie Plantastic Cleansing Balm
    Beauty Pie Jeju Overnight Moisture Infusion
    Beauty Pie Retinol Eye Cream

    I have just been very strong willed and deleted Nail Polish Direct e-mail for BF without looking at the OPI colours:(

    I’ve never tried Guinot, probably because I’ve only seen it sold in salons. I got a mini Glamglow GWP from Sephora on holiday that I’m giving to Emma at Christmas. She has asked for it in the past but I haven’t bought it due to the price as she doesn’t Mask often and the product just sits around unused,
