No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2013

moneyless_mac

Thanks for the new thread.

My skin became temperamental when I hit 40 so im still in search of HG's

However im loving:

make up remover : Garnier simply essentials 2 in 1 make up remover.

Cleanser: DHC cleansing oil & Elemis tri enzyme resurfacing wash

Exfoliating toner: Clarins brightening toner

Moisturiser: Elemis PCMC

Intensive hair consitioner: Macadamia hair masque

Mascara: Clinique Lash Power


UU

Radox refresh shower gel - one of DH's favourites - still have some in the stash.

Colgate toothpaste - WNBA so sick of this variety I bought a large amount when they were selling it for 39p in HB. Luckily only 3 more tubes left to go.

Boots Cotton Wool pads - WBA

Was working at an alternate hospital today so took the opportunity for a lush restock on my way home so already 8 bath bomb ins.

I dont need much this month but I do need to restock Cotton Wool pads, make up remover, face powder and toner.

Olay Shower gel. Rose and Almond Oil. I liked it. Not too floral. It was a clear gel not one of those white creamy ones. Still have the matching body lotion and soap to use up.

The husband is going to visit relatives next week, so I've made up a goody bag for my mother, so there around six lipsticks, three face creams, a couple of serums and hand creams in the bag. I didn't count just put it in a small bag and off it goes.

I am a gwp addict. I have no pride. I could in theory not have to buy a face cream again for at least three years! Mascaras, appear to be good for at least five (and that's swapping them out every three months)

Has anyone else abandoned body moisturising in this hot weather? *blush*

Partly, half the time you need suncream instead and the rest its too bliming hot. Shame as its the one thing I've a few more than I should probably have.

Yes, when it was less muggy last week, I went back to post-shower body oil, but now it's definitely just the aloe vera aftersun spray!

My sunscreen is that new Nivea one though which is quite moisturising.....however I also have a tonne of body lotions, butters etc to get through!

Starting the month with a UU - Benefit 'That Gal' face primer. Got this free with a magazine ages ago, but won't buy the full version. It was a little bit too pink for me, so always made me look like an oompa loompa. Think there are probably a few uses left, but I'm not fussy about it!

I used that gal after getting a freebie but when I had a make over at Benefit the sa told me I needed the one for older people:mad::mad::mad::mad:(pore something)she was not very tactful (or young herself!)

Thanks for starting us off KT2802. I'm in again for this month. I ended up with a plus figure in July but didn't spend much overall.

I have a few uu to get me going this month

Champneys Vitamiracle hand and nail cream - love this but think it is now called hand and nail cream. My nails are much better when using it.

Superdrug Swiss Apple Serum - WNBA, this is the last of 4 bottles of this and I can see no discernible benefit from using it.

Korrres Lemon Basil Shower gel - lovely lemon balm smell but I wouldn't go out of my way to get hold of it.

L'occitane Peony shower gel - nice floral but not special enough to justify the price, I have another mini in the stash.

An OUT of a shampoo, made up of lots of dregs from various bottles:o it was also an unusual colour too! lol
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Going to stay with BFs parents in their holiday house this weekend so will take some miniatures with me.

UUs:

1. L'oreal Everriche shampoo sachet 10ml - WNBA, nothing special for my hair.

2. John Frieda Intensive hair mask 25ml - freebie and nice enough but WNBA as have lots in stash.

3. Garnier 7 days intensive body moisturiser sachet 6ml - WMBA, seems effective and smells nice.

4. L'occitane divine cream sachet 1ml - jury's still out!

UU

50ml Elemis trienzyme wash - WBA but have more in the stash.

No7 for men face scrub - WBA DH likes this.

2. Garnier Ambre Solaire BB Cream SPF 50 (not the regular one in the Skincare section, but the new one that's found in the Suncare section) - Instant love! Moisturising, perfect colour for my skin tone and SPF 50!

Quite fancy trying this but how dark is it? (Bourjois Healthy Mix 51 / Make Up Forever HD 117 pale here)

You must have been reading my mind, I was thinking about this very subject earlier today:rotfl:

Cleanser- EH Moringa Balm (was C&P, but it started bringing me out in red blotches)
Toner - LE Instant Boost Skin Tonic
Exfoliating Toner - Clarins Gentle Brightening Toner.
Hydrating Boost - Indeed labs Hydraluron
Moisturiser - Elemis PRMC
Jury still out on other products.

Great minds

The EH balm is fab isn't it... there are just so many great cleansers! Clarins melting gel cleanser, Antipodes grapeseed cleanser are 2 other similar ones...

I have to check out that Elemis moisturiser - there are so many fans of it on this thread!

I'm still trying to type up my stash list...it's taking me hours to go through everything!



I don't stick to many products as I'm always buying new things to "try". However, I do have a couple which I love...

1) I'm prone to spots, so I love the Superdrug Tea Tree Spot Stick. I find this really helps with those lovely big red ones! I apply it again and again during the day and can really tell a difference by the end of the day.

2) Rimmel Hide the Blemish Consealer. I've used this for at least 10 years, I'm sure. I don't use foundation myself, but I find that this really does the trick in hiding any of those unsightly blemishes/spots.

3) Natural collection vanilla body spray. Not really sure why I keep buying this, but I think it's because it reminds me of when I was a young teenager? I fell in love with the stuff back then and it's just been a main-stay body spray for me.

Love those reminiscing scents

Thanks for starting the new thread KT2802!

My HG's have changed a bit recently, some im still undecided on and others ive been dabbling with other that are starting to change my mind. there are ones im def sure on:

Make up remover - Nuxe rose one
Moisturiser - i love Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched face base but its SO expensive so i cant buy it that often.
Lash top coat - Anastasia. i dont know how i lived without this, it keeps any mascara firmly on my eyes and makes me not turn into a panda around midday.
Tinted moisturiser - laura mercier oil free, so quick and easy to use and pretty much foolproof!
Bobbi Brown corrector - the only things that the right shade of deathly pale/pink and can cover up my eye bags

Oh my gosh, don't get me started on make up! I have SO many HG's! I agree with your love for the Bobbi Brown corrector
