No buying unnecessary toiletries in May - Challenge

weesmiler

Hello all,

I've been rather quiet recently! I've had this week off work because it was my birthday on Tuesday, the big 2-6... Eek!

Anyway, a couple of ins from my birthday- loccitane handcream and liz Earle shampoo. Both HG products

I also got a YSL Parisienne gift set with perfume, body lotion and shower gel, but I'm not too keen on the smell, I might put it on eBay, but is that terrible because my dad gave it to me? I just know I won't use it!

I have a few UUs to report too...

S&G clean on me- WNBA.
Botanics foot cream- this was ok, but got a few other lotions to use, probably would try something different next time.
OPI avoplex oil 15ml - love this, but have an Avon nail oil to use now.
Liz Earle body cream - also love this, but have a few more body lotions to get through before I buy again
Liz Earle super balm concentrate 2ml - got a 10ml bottle in the stash

I think that's all for now...

I had a busy first half of the week, it was non stop with visitors and going out, was a lot of fun, but yesterday I slept til 9am, got up, showered, watched sex and the city for 7 hours and then went for a massage and eyelash tint. What a perfect day

Love to all xx

Thanks for the hugs Willowbee - they're much appreciated

Fiasco sorry to hear you had a bad day at work - hugs for you!

Happy birthday Weesmiler - sounds like you had a great day!!

UU
White Glo Toothpaste 24ml: WIBA? Maybe. I didn't notice any visible difference myself, but I wasn't using it that long as it was a small tube from SSB. It felt quite nice though. I do have Sensodyne Pronamel in the stash though still (as recommended by my dentist).
EL Idealist Serum 30ml: WIBA? Yes! I love this, makes me skin feel so smooth! I use the stick part of the pump to take it out once the pump stops picking up. No more in stash Going to be good and not re-buy yet as have a Gatineau Activ Flash Balm (or something like that) to UU first.

In my case I'm sure that it is drying my skin out and emphasising my fine lines - the last thing I want :rotfl: Because I expected a lot from it as a P&P product I kept blaming other things Part of me wants to use it up in a concentrated burst and get rid of it but I think I'd rather take the slower option and not wreck my eyes in the process! :rotfl: I just have a lurking feeling that I'm going to find another one of these. If it's sealed then it's going on eBay!

Sorry to hear that you are feeling :mad: about a difficult time at work. I find sorting through toiletries quite calming (and tidying up in general). I hope you find your lost items I'm missing a Korres lipbalm that I really didn't like and was soooooo close to finishing. I can't bear to declare it a UU. I need to find it and finish the sucker! :rotfl:

Willowbee/Fisaco, you've got me wondering if I should change my Holiday toiletries. I've got mini P&P Eye cream, serum, day cream and night cream for next months Holiday (all from gift set in january sale). I really don't want wrinkley eyes in my Holiday photo's and for my anniversary. What do you think should I re do the Holiday toiletries?

I have packed my minis for my holiday next month too and last night removed the P & P eye cream from it. I had forgotten just how disappointing it is. So i have replaced it with a tried and tested one. I also have tried the P&P day and night cream didn't suit my oily skin and just brought me out in spots. I have just finished the serum, I am currently using their night cream too. I also use the day cream but in the oily/combination No7 ones.

Thanks for the hugs -after sorting through my stash and getting a long sleep, things look brighter today. I am a back shift so hopefully things will be even better when I get in.

Those items are still missing. I even went through my vast handbag collection to find the lipsticks but no luck there either. Hmmm!


EDIT just noticed I have been upgraded with another star. I am now a serious fan! Lol

I'm another who is not overly impressed with the no7 eye creams. In fact, when I started using the P&P night cream, I'm sure that it gave me milia. My skin looks like it might finally be clearing some of them now with concentrated us of my Olay scrubby wash and a couple of masks per week. I'm liking the BB still but am concerned that's just cause I'm lazy!
The no7 eye cream did appear to make me more wrinkly, in fact, my eyes need serious replumping at the moment!

Thanks for the feedback, think I'll sort through the stash and find something else for holidays. I've actually stopped buying No.7 now as after trying a few other brands think there are lots of better products out there, but still have No.7 stuff to UU.

This is definitely not going holiday now, may even try and find someone to give it away too.

I do wonder what they use in some of their skincare. The Protect and Perfect serum gave me a breakout the likes of which I have never seen before. I had spots on parts of my face that I have never had spots on before in my life! I have used serums from other brands with no problems.

Finishing off the week with a UU

L'Occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream 30ml - WBA I do like this one.

Off to get another Hand Cream out of the stash.
