UU/Throw away

• The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter: it happened- the lid got stuck!  And then I bashed it to try and unjam it, and managed to crumple a corner of the tin, so it will 100% never open now- well done me.  I was almost finished too, so that's really annoying!  At least there won't be much waste, I really was almost done.
• Sally Hansen Miracle Cure Strengthener:  Soft nails today from doing some hand-washing, so put some of this on.  But it was goopy, a bit yellowy and smelt kinda funky, so this is being binned- it's done!
  

INS
These haven't arrived yet, but as I spent the money this month I'm counting it now.  I succumbed to some Black Friday bargains.

• Odens Eye - Solmåne II Moonlight Feel Highlighter in Pink Star: Wanted to try a blush and highlight from Odens Eye for the longest time as they look absolutely gorgeous, and they were 40% off in the BF sale- it seemed stupid not to get it now, when I would get these at some point and end up paying full price for it later!
• Odens Eye - Solmåne II Sunlight Love Blusher in Warm Sun: Gorgeous peachy blush, can't wait for it to arrive!
• Polished for Days nail polish - Incandescent: Stunning green flakey festive polish
• ILNP Nail Polish- Salem:  Black with a red green shift- looks amazing.  Got one as a present for a friend too.  

Right, this will be the last polishes I buy for a while that's not a strengthener or top/base coat!

The Body Shop seriously need to change that packaging.  I now find that I have to leave the tin slightly ajar.  Would be better in a jar! Boom Boom!

Dare I ask where you have ordered he Odens Eye goodies from?

Another UU (it's been a slow month for me too):-

Aveeno body lotion 150ml tube.  This was Emma's.  I got sick of dusting it in the bathroom.  There's a tube of Dove body lotion that is also going to get the same treatment.

I hit pan in my Bare Minerals pressed Mineral Veil and have taken the stopper out of my MAC Mocha Swirl lipgloss.  The lipgloss should be finiished this week. 

I did purchase a bottle of L'oreal Infalliable foundation last week and like it so far.

They really should change it shouldn't they!  I'm surprised I made it so long without this happening to me tbh!!

Got my Odens Eye order direct from their website - not sure if it's allowed to add a web address in the chat but just incase- from here:  https://www.odenseye.se/  Haven't ordered from there before, but am hoping since they're a European brand it shouldn't take too long to get here!

Also, I love the L'Oreal Infallible foundation, been using it for quite a while now!

I'm glad Odens Eye is not available in the UK.  I am really being tempted by everything I see at the moment!  I've been to Superdrug for a new glitter eyeshadow as I'm going on a littel trip soon and also succumbed to the 3for2 in the form of 2 x Maybelline Superstay lippies.

Some last minute progress for this month:-

MAC Mocha Swirl lipgloss is done.  I actually ordered two accidentally however will find someone to give the spare to as I would not wear this again.  It contained quite chunky glitter. 

OPI Tickle my Francey mini also finished.  I'm always a bit meh about this colour.  If it comes in another set (and it always seems to be in one along with Alpine Snow and Bubble Bath) I'd wear it.  Need to choose a new mini to pan.

ELF concealer - I have removed the stopper so shouldn't take long to finish.

Lorac Pro Matte palette.  I have hit pan in Corduroy.  I only have four shadows left in this palette (Corduroy, Chocolate, Burgundy and Jet Black) and do want to get this all used up next year.  I've been using Corduroy in my brows and will continue to do so.

My last uu for the month

No7 Hydraluminous Foundation - this is really nice, I wear it for work and it lasts all day, it's moisturising but doesn't seem to transfer everywhere so it must dry down a bit.  WBA

I too succumbed to 3 for 2 in Superdrug, but as I'd been paid for Dec I'll be adding that in next months tallies!

UU

• Tigi Bed Head- Fully Loaded Massive Volume Shampoo: Finally used up the matching shampoo to the conditioner I finished in Sept.  Huge big bottles, they are good value, last forever!  Probably wouldn't get this version again, but would purchase another kind, though once I am through with the shampoos I have, I am wanting to try a bar kind to save a bit of plastic.  I don't get on with bar conditioner though, so I'll still need a bottle of that
• Sure Invisible Aqua 48H anti-perspirant spray: The one I keep at work, all used up.
  

INS

• La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 - 100ml: Current one is cut open and being scraped out to the bitter end!  When I had a cold the other week this was the only thing I could put on my face without stinging!  Replacement.
• Sure 72H anti-perspirant spray- 150ml- Invisible Aqua x 2:  Cheaper to get two 150ml, than 1 x 250ml.  Rerplacement for my one at work.

Last UU for me:  The Body Shop Chamomile Cleansing Butter.  HG.  Love it except for the tin.

Final few stragglers for November:

La Roche Posay Serozinc - not sure what this does as just feels like spraying water on my face and I've repurchased it for years...Have swapped it for the Byoma face mist which I picked up when it was on sale (and is not refillable).  Will see how it goes.

Lush Snowdrift bath bomb - loved this, the scent was great for when I was at the start of my latest bout of Covid and the shimmer in the water looked amazing (and didn't leave a mess to clean in the bath) WBA

Biossance Rose and Vitamin C Face Oil - discovered this this year and fell in love with it.  Managed to repurchase when it was on offer a couple of months ago so have replaced with that one.  Not sure it does much for brightening but it's not too thick, not too thin and I feel like it's actually working on my skin rather than some other squalene oils which have just sat there not doing much (looking at you The Ordinary...)

So the PP List looks like this now:

Nars Afterglow Lipbalm
Biossance Rose and Vitamin C Oil
4 Sheet Masks
UD Chopper eyeshadow
Cath Kidston Body Lotion
The Body Shop Kindness and Pears Body Butter
Versed Dew Point Moisturiser
1 Perfume sample

And probably would have finished the others if I hadn't got sick.

Final totals for November are 22 Outs for £188.81 and 5 INS for £25.66.
