No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in Feb
Comments

Evening all, hope everyone is well (especially moromir, make sure you take it easy!)
I have 2 UU for the week
Sanctuary roll on perfume Iris & Peony scent - WNBA, I got a set of 5 of these in a Boots 50% sale before I saw the toiletries light and this is just the first one used up :eek: I'll never run out of perfumes for work with my stash, I have moved onto a GWP size of Clinique Happy so hopefully I'll get through this before the end of the month as well.
I have one more use left in my shower gel so I am just going to declare it now -
L'Occitane Cherry Blossom shower gel - WBA, it smells amazing! Sadly I have dozens of shower gels in the stash to get through first so I'll just have to go without. Maybe this can be my reward when I graduate from shower gels? (2020 at the earliest)
I also threw out a few very old items of make up, including a lip pencil. I have about 5 of these and never ever use them!
No Ins to report for the weekend :jNo more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins0 -
ins
5 ins from glossybox
1 new toothbrush for my daughter (wasnt needed just yet but it had patrick & spongebob on so in her eyes it was essential)
Cotton wool pads did need these as id run out
Free sample of l'oreal extraordinary oil
And the outs.
lush so white bath bomb WBA love bath bombs
Garnier make up remover WBA Does the job without the sting of some removers.
50ml Issey Miyake l'eau d'issey WBA one of my favourites got gifted some for christmas so no need to repurchase just yet.
Lush brazen honey face pack WBA made my skin look radiant.
Have a few items spluttering so hopefully these will be gone over the next week.No more buying toiletries0 -
Hit there. Still snowing here. We had a bit of warmth and now winter's back.
UU:
Olay Regenerist serum type thing. 7ml sample tube. Got two of these and am currently using the second one. But don't really see much difference. But it does make the skin feel matte, if you know what I mean.
Aussie volumizing shampoo. 400m. I'd buy it again, if I ever need to buy shampoo again.
Olay Luscious Embrace Body lotion. Had orchid scent and was a freaky lilac colour. Didn't leave the skin sticky. Was part of a gift set and still have a bar of soap left somewhere. Have more lotions in the stash.
Perlier Snowdrop body cream. Technically a tossed item because the last 1/4 inch had gone off. Overpowering smell, so no, I'd avoid it.
Used up an EL eyeshadow! Well, the last bit crumbled in the pan. Unfortunately, it's part of a multipan set. There is one other one in there showing pan, which leaves me with the problem of when do you toss a pallette? There is an icy white colour that I'll never use and the other colours I have in other pallettes.
Oh, and I hit pan in a lipgloss pallette.
Tossed a nail polish that was a colour that came in a set and it really isn't anybody I know so it would never find a home.
Hope everyone is on the mend, feeling chipper, and fortune smiles on us this year of the snake.0 -
Forgot to post a UU from last night - No7 Balanced Night Cream. WBA and have! I have replaced it with another one from the stash.
Continued with the clearout so 2 more GA's.
Olay Regenerist Freebie
L’Oreal Eye Make Up Remover
St Ives Face Scrub 30mls
Oh and a TA which is year's old and I won't use as it is for the eye area and is half used - Ultimaiieye Mask. WNBA.
AI have been using the S & G hand wash for a week now and feel that it is drying out my hands. Even my Jason hand lotion is struggling to keep up. Think I may move this into my main bathroom for visitors to UU.

those opi from that collection are worth so much money. I'm contemplating about selling mine.
Thank you. Not sure mine would be worth much as I've used loads of it.
A further IN although it was free - free sample of L'Oreal Extraorindary Oil. By the time I got the sachet back from Emma there was very little to sample! What I did use though felt nice on my damp hair and I'd gladly try it again. Emma however said it made her hair greasy but she didn't bother to read the instructions! Grrr!
So that counts as an IN and OUT. Have another UU too. Elemis full size Quiet Mind Bath Elixir. Now this product smells amazing and makes my skin so soft but only after using quite a large amount in each bath. As I have a small stash of this product alone I'll be glad to keep using it but not sure I WBA when I run out.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

I'm starting to feel a bit more chipper
one of the pretty bras I ordered last week has arrived and I took advantage of 10% off at Debs to try out the Urban Decay Naked Foundation and get a travel bottle of their allnighter setting spray.
Have however used up the dregs of two bottles of Lancome 24hr teint miracle foundation on Thurs, along with a mini bottle of Lancome eye makeup remover. Would buy the foundation again, probably wouldn't spend £20 on makeup remover though, but as a GWP its good stuff.
Skin is freaking out a bit, feeling a bit congested and bleugh, maybe my REN glycolactic mask later.0 -
feeling very sad today as found out my friend with leukemia died whilst I was in Spain,sadly I just saw the funeral party leaving(he lived opposite me) and so was too late to go to the funeral as no one told us he had died(not blaming his partner as it must have been awful for her)He was such a lively man and it only took a few weeks,just goes to shows we really need to have the pink candle philosophy.0
