No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2013

Two UU's

Lancome La Base Pro - an amazing primer but I wont be buying it again because Sooo much product gets stuck inside the glass packaging and theres no way of getting it out. I've spent the best part of half an hour with a makeup brush getting out as much as possible but theres still loads of wastage and for the price... not that impressed! Probably WNBA

Conversely just finished my REN glycolactic radiance renewal masque, wrenched the top off that and next to nothing left inside the baggy inside the packaging... very impressed. Also a HG so WBA for sure

UU's
so white bath ballistic WBA
Origins plantscription serum WMBA I did like it and it was quickly absorbed.
Elemis hand and body lotion WNBA unless it was a GWP okay but not as rich as I like hand creams to be.
Andrew Barton the frizz tamer sachet WNBA okay as a conditioner but did not make my hair any less frizzy.

UU: baylis and harding plum pudding lotion, WIBA? Nope, smelt like plastic and didn't do anything.

They're Real is my HG mascara at the moment, I tend to get the travel/trial sized ones off Ebay cheaply at around £5 as I tend to throw full size mascaras of any kind out after probably 2 months as I find they dry out so don't actually UU as such plus they're cheaper this way and you avoid the fakes which tend to be full sized given their nature :cool: Also, this one is a magazine freebie sometimes, so next time I see it I'll stock up then too HTH

That's a good idea - thanks, will have a look on Ebay.

Thanks for recommendation of 17 mascaras too. Hope people who were feeling poorly are feeling better. I'm not feeling great myself, might have a bath and a bit of a pamper session then get into bed.

Thank you everyone for the QVC tips, much appreciated Now to decide whether I really need to spend circa £50 on that Philip Kingsley set...

VALM, I saw the Liz Earle Grapefruit & Patchouli in John Lewis today if you were looking for a back up. I decided to give it a miss although it did smell lovely.

I've been a bit obsessed with the Loreal Exfotonic (comes in a tube), I think its called Sublime over here and hides with the tanning stuff.

I finished up a tube and decided I'd crack open a Body Shop scrub...

It feels like I'm coating myself in oil when did this happen to Bodyshop scrubs? Im sure they never used to be like this!!

moromir I love L'Oreal Exfotonic!! I used to use it years ago when it was in a pot format, then couldn't find it. I recently read a review about it on a blog and realised it is available in a tube packaging. I must have looked in 10+ shops in the tanning section inc various branches of Boots (saw it as part of a box set for £18 with Sublime Bronzing Gel but not alone) & Superdrug... but ended up hunting it down in Asda when I thought all hope was lost (lol) for £5... hurrah! I don't think it's dissimilar in effect to the Garnier Body Tonic Sugar Scrub (that being more coarse and citrus-y)... have you tried that one?
Which body shop scented scrub were you using? I used to quite like the cocoa butter and olive ones x

& UU:
Neals Yard Power Berry Moisturiser 50ml - WNBA, not too fond of the scent of acai and ended up using it as a body moisturiser to UU

For goodness sake, I'm listing new halloween jewellery on the etsy shop and OH has put the film 'Phantoms' on, now I have the shivers and chills.

I have no new UU's but a few items beginning to splutter. Does anyone else go picking through items to see what they can use up first?

One last UU of the weekend: Dead Sea Source ginger body souffl! 50ml. This was part of a set bought by a friend for me what has to be three years ago, as the line seems to have been discontinued in around 2011!!

The whole mini was used in one day as it was a body souffle. It sank in nicely but wasn't as moisturising as I would have liked. Definitely going to use the ginger/tangerine scent in a homemade body oil in the future.

UU

Elemis trienzyme face mask - WBA

Cutex nail polish remover

Yves Rocher lipstick - WNBA the colour did nothing for me at all - like an extra from the walking dead. I also didnt like the 'taste'.

UU have been slow this weekend but I have taken advantage of the free ebay listing so hope to have a few outs later next week.
