No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - May

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.

I haven't seen English Daisy for a while now but at one time you used to be able to get full sets of it on ebay here.

Re the little old ladies, some are milking this situation for all it is worth and loving the drama.

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. 

Well said. It seems we have to treat every old person as a wonderful person who fought for our freedom.  My mum is 90 and was a young girl during the war so didn't actually do anything, in all honesty she has never done anything for anyone, her children included, yet she milks the little old lady thing every single day.

Common sense has gone out of the window.  Hand hygiene is the best defense against cold and flu and always has been, we've all known this since we were little.  People think they are living in a sci-fi movie where there is an airborne contagion.  Everyone wearing masks will be fantastic news for the criminal fraternity, they will have a field day and as ever the government will not have seen it coming.

VALM - my toes are always painted too, in winter I love to see dark red nails when I take my boots and socks off.

Mine are Chocolate brown at the moment.

some of the rudest individuals I have encountered recently have been elderly. The sense of entitlement really gets me.

I'm currently sporting Nails Inc Covent Garden Place which is a nice cheerful hot pink.

Another eyeshadow is leaving my stash.  It is Benefit Dandy Brandy, I've tried it out for the last two days and it creases badly even with UD Primer Potion.  I offered it to DD but she doesn't want it so it will be offered to a friend.  I have also decided to get rid of UD Naked On The Run, it is a huge bulky thing, I don't hate it or love it, I've used the eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss so I will offer this to the same friend too.

Philosophy Living Grace EDP 60ml - loved this but do prefer Amazing Grace.  Had a look through my pretty large perfume stash and selected Viva La Juicy as a replacement and gave DD a bottle of Avon Cherish to cheer her up a bit.

I learned early some little old ladies will steal the eyes out of your head and know a judge ill never send them down, often they had a lifetime of practice with a grandmama demeanor.

I googled that nail colour. I think that’s the type of pink that tends to look coral on me due to my skintone. Must repaint my fingernails later. Think I’ll go for OPI You’ve got that Glasglow. The mini size should be finished soon.
UD packaging can be bulky. I remember liking the look of the Alice in Wonderland and Game of Thrones palettes but being put off for that reason. I don’t think I’d ever buy those huge Morphe ones for that reason too.
i am hopeful of hitting pan on Creative Copper in the MAC Princess Jasmine palette tomorrow. Will rotate some different ones in to use when that happens.
i has a bottle of Philosophy Pure Grace go off on me so not so sure I’ll repurchase. My Atelier Cologne fragrance is nearly UU. Feel bittersweet about that as it’s gorgeous,

I have two of the huge morphe ones which contain multiple variations of the same colour. I wouldn’t rebuy. They ll be on the project pan list when I finish with ABH modern renaissance. Off to run a bath and try out my new foreo

You’re probably all going to think I’m a bit of a diva now but my toenails are never bare. 

I think it is fantastic that you are always looking after yourself.
@wondercollie - yes some people are really difficult
@dolly84 your posts make me smile!
I have sold a benefit Christmas stocking and included three samples in it. I have so many samples and there is no way I will be able to use them.

This month wasn’t a great one I think. 

Magntone London Cleansing Cloth, Dr Lippe Lip Tink, Eyeko Mini Eyebrow Gel, Avant Hyaluronic Acid Resurfacing Moisturiser, Korres Probiotic Face mask, Balance me Hyaluronic Plumping Mist. Sneak peak for next month Molten Brown shower gel. 

I have a love / hate relationship with Sub boxes. Have parred back to one LF and keep telling myself no advent calendars this year but we shall see lol

Have tried the Forreo, not sure what to make of it yet. Will take a bit of playing about with. The glow setting makes me feel like it could give me carpal tunnel ! One think I do think it will be good for is cleansing my throat/ neck area. 

Feeling very bored today, have read most of the day I’ve reached my tv / Netflix limit. Have fan tanned and about to paint my nails haven’t had anything on them since last gelish way before lockdown.
