No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2013

emsjune78

A couple more UU and a few more IN... Just swinging it by one at the moment for Oct, been playing catchup all month so that's quite a good result really! That said, only been saved today from a TBS order by virtue of most of the sale stuff now being out of stock, I really don't need anything though, I just can't resist a bargain!!

UU:
John Frieda Precision Foam Conditioner - WNBA - Hated this hair dye, it was rubbish, conditioner was pretty poor too so glad to finish that off

Garnier Moisture Match - the one in the yellow tube that I used to really like but I found this greasy, not sure if its just on top of the cream cleanser I'm using at the moment but I didn't like it so much this time around - probably WNBA

Vichy Liftactiv Serum sachet - GA to Mum, used this previously and didn't like it as it made my foundation ball, soo annoying! Mum doesn't wear makeup so won't have that problem.

IN are:
Garnier Moisture Match - the orange tube for dull skin, I remember trying this as a sachet and finding it a bit odd as its a gel but it was only £2.36 in Tesco half price so thought I'd give it a whirl - if I like it, the offer is on until 11th Nov so will stock up on a few more at that price once we're in the new month obviously! :rotfl:

L'Occitane Jasmine Handcream - 'freebie' from Marie Claire - have been trying to avoid as don't need it right now but saw M&S still had quite a few left and caved in and got one

I also ordered a couple of Benefit sets last night - A groovy kind-a love, they're both for presents though, although I am looking forward to seeing what they're like as look lovely in the pics....

Phew survived the childrens birthday party (just)

another 3 ins from a childrens fragrance giftset.

UU

50ml Elemis apricot toner - on the fence about this one - doesnt wow me but causes no irritation either, have plenty in my stash so dont have to worry yet about whether I would buy again just yet.

Your OPI shade looks pretty Parisian, can offer no recommendations for nudes as Im not allowed polish during the working week I usually go bold at the weekend. I am off for half term so may have to go for understated for a change. Today I am wearing Cadilacquer - Masterpiece.

INs:
1. OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons - I just love this shade! Was thinking of all the nail polish lovers on this thread when buying this... Does anyone else have this shade? Any other nude shades recommended?

I had a mini bottle of this which Emma "adopted" and have bought her a full size since as she likes this nude for work. I liked it but have a bottle of Sephora by OPI Nonfat Soy Half Caff which is practically the same. I don't think I own any other "nude" shades with most of my sheer polishes being pinky. OPI Tickle My Francey is a nice pink nude.

I do like beige nudes though and own Leighton Denny Supermodel which I love. Also like OPI Berlin There Done That although that's probably more of a minky colour.

A sort of IN and UU in one. Emma gave me a sachet of Elvive shampoo yesterday. Did make my hair feel lovely and soft so maybe WBA.

I've had a run of UUs this morning (and yesterday)!

49. Lush Freeze Shower gel 100ml - WNBA, I liked it but I didn't love it, and it wasn't as Ice Blue-y as I'd hoped, more toothpastey...
50. Yves Rocher Raspberry shower gel 50ml - WBA, loved the scent and don't think it's too expensive!
51. Burts Bees Hand Salve 8.5g - WNBA, too greasy for me. Used as a foot cream.
52. Aquafresh toothpaste 100g - WBA, no preference on toothpaste.
53. Frizz Ease Secret Agent Perfecting Creme 100ml - WNBA, I've had it open for years as it was a bit too easy to be heavy handed with it, and I prefer serums to creams.
54. Blue Owl lip balm - WNBA, although super cute, these are also super sticky!

Wow, that's quite a lot!

Just two little UUs this weekend:

Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser 15ml - this was a free sample and whilst I quite like this and it lasted ages, you will not see me rushing out to buy any at twenty odd quid a bottle, especially not whilst there are multitudes of far lovelier products out there to try.

Freeman - pomegranate facial revealing peel off mask sachet. Oh what yuck, why did I ever buy this? Just horrid, horrid to apply, horrid to get off your hands and the horrid sticky mess took an age for just a few patches to be dry enough to peel off.

Morning, I am off work this week which is great as I have loads to do.

UU's
2x Egyptian magic cream WNBA very greasy but good as foot cream

Timotei pure shampoo 250 ml WNBA it was okay

Jumping juniper solid shampoo WNBA great for hand washing clothes but not on my scalp.

UU - BS compact face powder. I barely use face powders, so this would have lasted at least another 3-6 months, but unfortunately the powder crumbled, meaning it lasted about 2 weeks (about 2/3 spilled all over my room!) I liked this powder, but did think it was a little too orange, so would buy again in a different shade. In no rush to replace.

I'm trying my hardest to get another 2 UU by the end of the month, so far I'm neck and neck for out vs in!

Couple of UU's from this weekend.

Armani Code 50mls -WBA love this fragrance. Might replace it in the January Sales.

Liz Earl hand repair cream -WNBA wasn't very impressed with it. Also didn't like the smell.

2 INS both my HG - Louise Galvin shampoo & conditioner as both of mine are spluttering.

Afternoon all!
Just checking in after my lovely Birthday weekend.
I will have some INs to report, but luckily not too many as people know me well enough to know I have loads already! :rotfl:
I will also need to go shopping for a foundation because my sister lent me hers whilst she was staying and it was SOOOOOO much better on my skin tha any I have so I will be buying one soon.
Few UUs also to declare but I need to work through my stash list and previous posts again to work out what I haven't declared. I kept a note but now I can't remember what I have declared or not
Gosh I need to sell some stashed bits, I keep putting it off though cuz it takes effort!
Can someone add me to the faceboom swap page too? Who do I need to PM?
