No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries April 2017

Hi everyone,

Nice to have some new names joining us!

I'm on the whole managing to be rptetty good at not overbuying at the moment, but I now find it really hard to make decisions!

My skin is really awful at the moment I've had more spots than I've had in ages and it looks really dull, with some painful spots on neck. Not sure if it's bad products, diet, stress or tiredness or a mix of all of the above! I have my first day off in over two full weeks tomorrow so that probably hasn't helped. I'm feeling quite low tonight, I think because I've finally stopped but also feeling a bit sad I've spent so much time working, although the money will be a help and I hope to treat myself to something nice. I'd love a facial but not sure whether too when skin is so bad. Will it be a waste? Can anyone recommend one?

Anyway back to the task at hand, I have two UU from a decadent bath last night.

- Rose Bomb WBA I really loved this cheered me up with the lovely pink water and yellow petals inside
- Furze bath melt WPNBA I think there are other melts I like better. I liked the look of it and it was moisturising and smelled interesting but nothing too special or memorable.

Keep having to resist doing a kitchen order! I kind of want to!

It took me about 5 hours but it was worth it! :T I have 196 products - this is less than I thought so I'm pleasantly surprised!

My spreadsheet will be most useful when holiday packing, because I tend to buy new travel sized products and treat myself to something new to take, without bothering to go through my stash first. I have quite a few travel sized products, do I save them for travel or just use them up as many are not my favourites / haven't tried the brand before, so I can take my favourite products on holidays with me next time.. To use or not to use that is the question.. :think:

I can see that my problem area is lipstick and gloss. This is mainly because of the country move however, so it's just a case of using them up really. My OH's is mascara - I end up with all her rejects!

I'll work on creating a PP list.

Hi

Happy Easter to everyone. Here is my weekly update:-

UU
Good Things Manuka Face Mask
Superdrug Soltan Suncare Face Cream SPF50
Waitrose Solid Coconut Masssage Oil
Superdrug B Glycolic Cleansing Peel
Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel
Avene Ultra Rich Cleansing Bar

Total = 97 Hurrah! under 100 so on target

Avene Ultra Rick Cleansing Bar - fantastic face wash so soft gentle and really good for sensitive skin and does not leave it dry and lasts forever.

Have finished the last of my Ojon Dry Hair Treatment. Feel really sad as none in stock anymore. Estee Lauder are having problems getting the ingredients from the Rain Forest. I am going to be making a homemade one using coconut oil and curry leaves. Look this up on the internet and suppose to be good and stop greying!

TA
Veet hair removal cream
Nair hair removal cream
Decided I don't like hair removal cream, it stinks the bathroom out for days and is messy.

Gilded Honey, Val. Thanks for that, perhaps it's not as wasteful as I thought, after all.
I'd agree with the eyeshadow suggestion.
The 3D swirl pattern is so pretty that I've been trying to use it from the outer edge, so as not to spoil it!

I wouldn't worry, I brush over the top and it makes no dent. I have a baked gelato blush too.
