    DHC Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml - I was ordering some Sukin moisturiser from Look Fantastic for DS and DH (I normally buy this from a large health food shop in town but I was there on a Sunday and they weren't open and H&B only stock a few Sukin items), DD wanted a couple of The Ordinary products and as she gets a 22% student discount I bought the cleansing oil, I shouldn't have but it will last a long time and is very nice.

    I have been more spendy in all areas this month than I have for months, we've been going out a lot more now as we have finished the work on the house for a while, lots more to do but we needed a break, we hadn't been buying much apart from boring things like wood, screws, tools etc so it has been nice to buy decor items, a few clothing items and some toiletries.  Needs to stop now, just what we actually need.
    Hi Dolly, 

    If you're on a spendy spree, you may want to check out justmylook as they have a wide range of brands at lower prices and free delivery. Not sure if you can use student discounts though. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just discovered them last year through a naughty ebay seller that was selling products ordered through them. Some reviews have mentioned issues with large purchases, but I've had no problems so far.

    Last UUs:

    Palmer tcb hair gel : Not too bad but WNBA. Had for years, but I can't throw away hair products without thinking about the money spent. This was better than I thought it would be, but loads of better options on the market now for coily hair.

    Mellor & Russel mystic black hair dye: WBA,  exceeded expectations for £1. It covered all the greys and did not leave my hair crispy. Also like the eco packagaing and the fact that no conditioner was included because I already have loads of them already.

    Oral b 3d white luxe toothpaste -  More in stash.

    Would I be right in thinking it is lighter than the body butter??  Friend gave me a mango BB a week back and I've not opened it yet - I usually find them great for my legs but less so for other parts.

    A couple of INs just before we end the month.

    QVC have started to sell Hourglass. The foundation is half price on QVC compared to the full RRP on the Hourglass website so thought I’d try it.

    Benefit Goofproof eyebrow pencil. The NYX one I was using has never been quite the right shade for me however the component broke a little while ago and I haven’t been able to apply it well since then.

    Am off work this week and have just returned from a visit to Liverpool which has the Worlds Largest Lush store. MRM treated me to some Halloween bath bombs/bubble bars.

    i have also hit pan in my Benefit Dandelion blush so will keep this in rotation until it’s finished.
    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!
