UUs for November so far...

Oily Skin Cleanser - Cetaphil A mini from a beauty box - not for my skin type but impressed me enough that I would buy the correct version for my skin

Press & Glow - Medik8 Another mini, not any better than The Inkey List PHA Toner so wnba

Soothe and Smooth Hyaluronic Brightening Eye Complex - MZ Skin From a Caroline Hirons kit - ok but not worth the exorbitant price tag wnba

Le Masque Micro-Caviar Overnight Moisture Mask - Beauty Pie Don't get the hype about this? wnba

Super Healthy Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Vitamin Cream V2.0 - Beauty Pie This is a really nice moisturiser wba

Uu- Vichy Mineral 89 Fortifying and plumping daily Booster 1.5ml sachet - WBA

UUs

• Umberto Giannini Texture Boost Volumising Dry Texture Mist: gives my fine hair nice volume, so I repurchased
• Sure Antiperspirant spray - Watermelon Fresh (250ml)
• L'Oréal Paris Elvive Hydra Pure Shampoo 400ml: Nice shampoo, and good size too. Would repurchase
• MAS Protect & Hydrate Sunscreen SPF 50: HG, my replacement (and 2 more because they had such a good deal on) arrived yesterday
• M&S Discover Women's Fragrance Discovery Set - Soft Iris: Don't like this one, too floral and powdery for me

INs

• Umberto Giannini Texture Boost Volumising Dry Texture Mist: replacement
• Sure Nonstop Protection Anti-Perspirant Aerosol Uplifting & Fresh 250ml: replacement
• Mad About Skin Protect & Hydrate Sunscreen SPF 50 x 3: replacement (and 2 further replacements 
• Mad About Skin Maximum Impact Moisturiser: My current moisturiser is running low (will cut it open soon!), so need a new one. Used this before and it's thicker than my current one so will be good for winter.
• Mad About Skin Intensive Rescue Balm: Bought one for a Christmas present, and one for me.  Will be good for slugging, and also dry elbows, hands etc throughout winter.  Didn't strictly need this, could have used vaseline I guess, but thought this would have some extra nourishment.
• Umberto Giannini Grow Root Stimulating Shampoo: replacement shampoo. Have used this one before, smells nice, Fancied a change and if it helps hair growth it'd be good!
• John Frieda Detox & Repair Masque 250ml for Dry, Stressed & Damaged Hair: my L'oreal bond intensive conditioner is finishing soon, so thought I would try this hair mask instead as a replacement. It's a bit cheaper!

And I hit a pan in my Unearthly Cosmetics  Shadowsculpt Ghoul Garden palette in shade Toadflax- a mossy chartreusey green. I like this all over the lid, and then a goldy shimmer on the inner half of the lid- very easy fun look.

UU- Flower of Story Blooming Season. - Dupe perfume from Temu - Nice smell -;WBA.

In - one lemon soap from a local art gallery (may regift), one other soap that I can’t remember as it’s wrapped up. Four pack of olive oil soap from the international shop round the corner from my sister (£2.49 or thereabouts). £70 on skin and hair care in the Black Friday sales (aghghgh). WBA.

Out - one can of hair mousse. One deodorant. WBA.

UU - targeted for use up, hand cream. Hair oil. Must put some on before my shower now. I have a cheapo hand cream in my main bag but need to look out some moisturiser for my work bag. Might use the night cream I bought in the BF sales. I got a bit carried away as I don’t use night cream. It’s very luxury in a glass bottle but it will be a nice thing to pull out in front of people. As long as they don’t notice I’m using night cream on my hands! WNBA.

To buy - deodorant and dental floss.

PP - I have absolutely loads of face oil. I only use it at the weekend due to needing to wear light makeup for work. I will perhaps apply two loads at the weekend ie put it on and wait fifteen minutes. Or put it on before my shower along with hair oil on days when I have time.

I found another cheapo hand cream so have stuck that in my bag. What to do with the night cream.

Black Friday deals...

I don't know how many times I have put stuff in my basket then just closed the app/browser down before I check out. 

So many emails offering discounts, it can be hard to resist...

I just keep reminding myself that anything bought now will go to the end of my stash list and won't get used for ages!

I also keep reminding myself that the offers go around and around and around...there is no deal today that won't be back!
