No More Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in July 2013

UU

Boots Cotton wool pads - WBA but still have some left

Elemis trienzyme resurfacing mask - WBA I love this mask.

Bourjois magic nail polish remover pot - WMBA whilst I never got it to work in the promised 1 second per nail its OK for normal polish, however ive been favouring glitter top coats at the moment and this IMO fails miserably. Have another 2 I think in my stash.

INS

Elemis trienzyme mask and face wash - ebay bargains.

No 7 make up remover wipes - I dont usually use wipes but we are going to a festival at the end of the month and I thought these would be a good idea.

2 No7 eye pencils + free gift 5 samples

Garnier ambre solaire rapido kids high protection spray spf 50 - this was needed as we are almost out.

Oh dear so much for being good!

Tiny IN - Freebie -postal, via FB or website - of Kerastase mask sample, v. generous 15 ml so will probably do for 2 washes. Over on the £land thread they are raving over OPI crackle and shatter nail varnishes available in some stores.

UU:

13. Divine cream 1ml - plenty more where that came from!

14. Radox Shower Smoothies Soul Soother 200ml - WBA, smells good enough to eat and lathered very well. The scrubby bits were a nice idea but not good enough to be able to do without a separate exfoliater.

Have a little uu

No17 Photo finish primer - WMBA, it worked as a primer and didn't break me out but there was a lot of air in the tube which made the product fire out at speed when squeezed so it ended up all over the place.

Just a little update on my ebay saga from last week, I have received a cheque from the Royal Mail for £15.66 against the total claim of £20.66. Not bad but still leaves me £5 down.

UU from last night. No7 Balancing Night Cream. WBA works well for my oily skin. I am now on my last tub of night cream :A

I am getting some good recommendations on this thread - although it is tempting me to buy stuff!
UU
Palmers Olive Butter Concentrated Cream WBA. It's sold with the handcreams at Boots, but it is designed to be used on any dry skin. I used it all over.
Boots Time Delay make up remover wipes. WMBA. I tend to buy whatever wipes are on offer as I only use them occasionally.
IN
Boots Botanics make up remover wipes. Then I caved and bought Botanics 100% Organic Facial Oil. And I don't particularly like oils! I think the fact that it is a small bottle made me think that I wasn't splashing out on much!

Well this heat at least has me using up my moisture spritzers.... I think I'll be through 5 by the end if this week!

That's very sad rosemary, brings it all into perspective doesn't it

Realised I havn't checked in this month but am very much still in the game. Doing really well with non-purchases as I'm enjoying using everything up far too much. I've not had a single purchase since May which was a £1 shampoo - although I'd had the odd freebie in the post.

UUs so far this month:
Verbena cooling hand gel - LOVE this, great for this kind of weather. Just a shame you can't buy it on it's own or I'd have got some more by now.
L'Occitane Divine Cream sachet - I've had several of these before and don't really rate this range, it's to heavy and thick for my skin.
Nivea original lip balm - does a job but I prefer something with a smell to it. Probably WNBA.
L'Occitane Verbena shower gel - I have a few bottles of these, a nice enough smell and good for summer.

Is anybody else fed up with the weather? I have Nordic fair skin so really struggle. A few days is nice but anything more just wipes me out.
