No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2013

Can I ask what you all use lemon aid for? I'm intrigued... Also I have a boots gift card leftover from Xmas and looking for something to treat myself to!

Evening ladies
Reporting my final uu for January, have finished my elemis skin nourishing shower cream, this is a real treat to use but I would probably only buy it again if it was part of a very good TSV.

Hope you are all well,
happy pampering, xo

It's an eyelid concealer/primer, it is lemon in colour and when applied (does not need very much) it hides any discolouration and brightens the eye area, some people use it as a concealer around nose area etc too. If I am only schlepping about at home/in the garden or just popping out for the paper I don't make up, just use Lemon Aid, eyebrow pencil and a touch of mascara. If going the whole hog, I apply shadow and liner on top of it. It can make the difference on me from being pretty yuck to not bad at all! :rotfl:
If you can find a Benefit counter ask them to try it on you.

One TA to declare

Eve Lom Rescue Mask 15ml - I had a reaction to this last time I used it back in the summer, decided it was about time that I chucked it as won't be using it again.

My skin has reverted to red patches and dry flaky patches since my Angels on Bare Skin ran out. I have 6 cleansers in the stash (including 2 open/in use), oh dear at least they aren't all full size.

I have not tried my Eve Lom mask yet, perhaps I should try a little patch test. I don't live close to a Lush shop now, but agree Angels on Bare Skin is lovely, so gentle and left my skin looking and feeling super.

My skin seems to react easily to things these days. I'm really disappointed about my skin it had been looking great and its only taken a few days to change back.

well done to those resisting the BB grab bag, it's sold out so you don't have to worry any more.

another UU, Gok Wan argan oil body butter - WBA in the sale. More like a lovely scented thick cream than a body shop butter.

Finally finished my Alterna anti aging caviar spray - wba but to be honest it's too expensive, at least it lasted a long time

I've been very good in manchester ladies! no beauty in's. I was given 2 perfumes but they were free so I don't want to count that. I did buy a moschino top for super cheap so I'm super happy about that

Thanks maddiemay,
I think I'm going to give it a try with my gift voucher

UU: Lancome Genifique serum 7ml. WNBA Don't really see a difference but it was nice.

In: Urban Decay eyeshadow primer. I found a sample of this in the stash and like it, so I bought the full size so I could save the sample for traveling. There is logic in there somewhere.
A sample of Clinique's 3 step system in foil pouches so that went in the away bag.

Tarte BB creme sample pouch. Sephora point trade in reward. Haven't opened it.

Glossybox is late, so I'm not counting it. This is box number 12 and has people really upset because it's like they are emptying their supply bins and maiing it out to people. February is the anniversary box, so we are all on tenderhooks.

The shower is full of nearl finished full sizers. That don't even splutter.
