I have tidied up my make-up brushes and selected 4 of them to go. I put them on Olio app (essentially a food-sharing app but there is also non-food section) and someone requested them, so they are not going waste which is good.
I had a bath other night and UU'ed a Lush avocado bath oil and a Westlab Dead Sea Salt bath fizzer. Both were really good. I dont buy Dead Sea products usually but this one was a yellow sticker item in Waitrose a while back so I purchased two of them.
I also UU'ed a tube of Nivea soft handcream. This one was a splutterer, lying around in drawers. I kept it on my desk and used when working after all the handwashing.ally.7 -
asajj - good to hear you had a chat with someone.Have done a pedicure today so I can repaint my toes, I'm not doing my fingers at the moment but I don't like to wear sandals with bare toes. I have swapped out my No7 Lip Crayon in Statement from my 7 by Summer challenge, it is a semi sheer red, very wearable on an everyday basis but seems more suited to autumn/winter, I thought I might have a chance of finishing it but there is still lots left, I have replaced it with a Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain in Lovesick which is a nice summery, bright pink.uuPhilosophy Raspberry Glazed Shower Gel 480ml - love this and have more in the stash.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Thanks @valm and @dolly84 for letting me know about the make up, I can't bring myself and have decided colleagues will have to see me without. Don't think I'll manage it when I finally see them though. I'm getting dressed everyday - I've even sorted my clothes into: perfect for lock down, good for zoom, and too good for lock down. They went back into storage under my bed!
One UU tonight:
Rockaholic leave in detangler and defrizzer - don't think it would really be fair for me to pass comment on how good it is as I've used it so intermittently over the years it hasn't had chance to really do anything. Will be moving onto half a bottle of argan oil next.My debt free diary

I finished a sheet mask and it was ok. I am not buying them again as I find them wasteful.
I nearly bought a hair thing (honestly i think it was a serum but the english was just a sticker) do I left it at the till.
I finished a tin of elnett hair spray. I think I have a tin somewhere so will hold back on that for a while.
Valm - your not a diva! you just have pretty nails.6 -

Question:
Does Yardley still make English Daisy? I've been looking for it forever over here.
We've been lucky in my province, our ICU's are pretty empty as are the isolation wards. I'm just finding people difficult. I can only shop at the weekends, I do not need to be shouted at by little old ladies wearing home made masks and vinyl gloves coated in hand sanitizer because I'm in the shop at 0745, "It's for seniors". Er, I'm over 60. They've had all week to shop. I'm tired of patients coming in and demanding to know who's got COVID, our health laws aren't designed to tell you about other peoples health.
I've really noticed how selfish and petty some people really are.

wondercollie- some of those little old ladies are what they always were right cows. Age does not moderate certain peoples character, some nice, some nasty and some who fool us as they can hide the character well. Try and aviod them - they can be draining.
Wondercollie- people can be amazing, generous and funny too. A few are pricky pains in the rear. They are scared and common sense has left thier head a long time ago.4
