No buying unnecessary toiletries in January 2014

minerva_windsong

Well my swap didn't go too well as I only got rid of one nail polish - Topshop Smashing Pumpkin. But an OUT is an OUT I suppose...

Plus I was good and didn't have any product INS, although I did get a couple of make-up brushes (but have been in need of some more eye brushes for a while so it wasn't entirely frivolous!)

I REALLY need to join this, I did join in for a short while last year, but this year so far (well since Boxing Day really) I've just gone crazy! And it's such a LHJ just to check through and list everything, lol!

I have UU a body shop passion fruit 200ml body butter this month and I have gone on to using a garner body cocoon body lotion which is many years old as I'm sick of ending up with stuff going to waste coz I've used the new stuff first!

However, I've loads of ins and loads still to come at the mo! I've ordered Emma hardie moringa cleansing balm and I have ordered a few nip+fab products and a hair minimising deo from boots and I also have a MUA order on its way!

I guess it doesn't help that I've newly become an avon rep but I've been managing to avoid looking at that for the most part, lol! May find the time to write up a new list and join in Feb!

I have replaced for now with a mini Benefit Bad Gal, have used this before but not for a while, IIRC it was ok but didn't wow me - I never really "get" the Benefit hype TBH.

Rooting through my cosmetics stash made me realise I really must do a makeup stash list - have found it so much easier to manage my toiletries this month!

I agree re: Benefit, I heard everyone raving about the Hoola bronzer but it just made my skin look dirty IMO. I do love Coralista but not £25 love it, I'd much prefer a Sleek blush and two tenners still in my pocket I had a mini mascara like yours but still prefer the Rimmel Lash Accelerator, absolute HG. I might be unusual though as my lashes are long and thick already so anything which says "volumising" just makes me clumpy. Just a shame they're blonde and virtually invisible(!).

I am loving all my lists! It shouldn't come as any surprise as I'm rarely happier than with a pretty notebook and some different coloured pens There's something so satisfying about giving a UU a great big TICK, I feel all virtuous, like

Hi all,

4 OUTs to report. Well, strictly speaking they were GAs as they were put in a bag for charity.

Heathcote & Ivory hand cream 30ml x 3 - this was a gift set from last year. I've recently used some of their hand cream and didn't like it so made the decision to get rid of these 3.

Sainsbury's Body Spray - again, given this in a pamper hamper and when I had some previously it made me sneeze! Hopefully this (unused) one will find a good home via the charity shop.

I'm looking forward to (one day) being able to see the bottom of my stash cupboard. One day....

Oh no Im enabling! If you use the code CRUMPET I believe you can get 10% off the Cirque.


I think it was the A Englands that started the love - Havent got any of the Pixiedust - is it as rough as the OPI sands?

I may have just ordered Lonesome George as well as Stevie and Sunshine from the Pixie Dust collections:j

Just tried Chita and It's all San Andreas Fault side by side on my thumb and think Chita is a teeny bit less rough, although because it has gold glitter in it Chita looks more so:(

Thanks MaddieMay I have some of the sands but have to be in the mood for them as I find the roughness annoying sometimes. I do sometimes topcoat them which probably defeats the purpose but they still look lovely.

UU

Vichy serum 10 for eyes and eyelashes sachet - WNBA again I dont think a sachet is enough to make a judgement.

Hello ladies!

Another UU: Sanctuary 250ml liquid soap. WIBA? Yes, very nice - especially at -75% last year (unlike a mere -70% this year. Pah!)

Hi ladies.


We had a day out in York yesterday and despite visiting Boots and Lush and an independent department store I bought nothing, I repeat nothing. Clarins in Boots had a lovely thing going on, you had a consultation then they gave you a sample of all the recommended products in a very pretty stripy paper bag just like an old fashioned sweetie bag. I didn't do it as I have so much stuff, was tempted though and they are decent sized samples at Clarins.

Morning lovely ladies
Have 2 more uu's:
Balance me facial wash, I really like this, it leaves my skin feeling lovely and clean and isn't drying

Elemis rose and jasmine bath milk, this was part of a recent tsv. Usually I love elemis bathing products but this was utterly vile, it had a very strong synthetic scent which reminded me of old fashioned pot pourri. I ended up using it to shave my legs but it really was an assault on the senses, wnba (ever!)

Soap & Glory Thick & Fast mascara 10ml. This came with a gift set and I WNB, it was ok but a little too wet for my liking - I have very long lashes and every time I applied it it would leave flutter marks on my upper eyelid straight away when I opened my eyes IYSWIM, so too faffy for my morning routine!

I've just finished mine too and I absolutely loved it! I'm using a sample of Benefits They're Real! now, and I prefer the Soap & Glory one as it made my lashes so thick. It's funny how personal mascaras are.

I'm not declaring these as an in because I've not included make up in my list, but I got the Revlon matte balm stain thingys yesterday. I've been wanting these ever since they started popping up in American youtube videos!
