No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in April

Parisian

ps. What do people use steam cream for? I'm not too fond of putting it on my face, but I feel a bit guilty using the whole tub in one or two uses as a body cream!

Hi everyone, feeling a lot better today thank you.

1 UU my Clinique Soft Finish Make up has finally come to an end, I loved this, but MNBA as I really want to replace everything with "bunny friendly" products evenutally, in the meantime I have 2 generous Lancome samples to use and several weeks worth of mineral powder foundation, plus BB cream. I need to start doing some research, but it is difficult getting colour matches living in the sticks.

I made some Apricot and Almond Ice cream this morning, using condensed milk as part of the base, so I guess the lost pounds will be returning soon:eek:

Down to my last application of one moisturiser, so declaring a UU:
Sample of moisturiser I was sent by Clicks research, so doint know the brand. It was a facial moisturiser, but it was pretty intense for the face, so I used it up on my feet and hands which are a lot less fussy! Don't know what it is to buy again, but don't think I would if I did!

Parisian - I've been asking about the steam cream as Ive been tempted to buy some. Some great advice on here and I think I'm going to buy a tin and use as a nightcream (thanks whoever suggested this). Hopefully I will like it after all the decision making on whether or not to purchase it!

Thanks aimme13! I was the same as you - it was on my mind to try for quite a while before purchasing it. Thing is, I don't think it's working for my face so well so I want to use it up in another way that's not wasteful. I love the smell of it. I'll probably use it as a hand cream!

Glad to hear you're feeling better

Have you looked at the Temptalia blog/site for colour matches? There is a pretty comprehensive list on there which I have used with spot on results

The ice cream sounds scrummy :T

UU

Sanctuary Body Wash, 75ml - WBA really love the smell
La Societe Parisienne De Savons Soap - Not strictly a use up yet but i don't want the packaging lying about for ages and soap generally tends to get used up quickly! Nice enough soap, just not sure it was that wow to get in a beauty box
Couture La La Sample, 1.5ml - WNBA, still can't get the smell to last which is a pity as i do like the smell
Weleda Skin Food, 10ml - WBA, been using this on my feet, they loved it
Ayuuri Rose Facial Toner, 250ml - WBA, this has been on the go for about 5 months! Lasted for ages and really lovely.

So as you can see after that one, there are a HORRENDOUS amount of products to get through so i am putting myself on another spending ban! All my boxes are cancelled! I have already prepaid for May and June's Beautylishious Bags so can't do anything about that but will not be buying anything else!

It is obscene lol
