No buying unnecessary toiletries February 2014

emsjune78

Hi All,

First movement for Feb is an IN, Nivea Cashmere Moments handwash - haven't any stashed, the current one in the bathroom is spluttering and nothing I feel like repurposing at the moment. Also have two UU, Nip & Fab Wild Cherry shower gel - smells EXACTLY like the cherry sherbet out of a double dip so not at all subtle but I like it anyway! Its cheerful! Also, Bomb Cosmetics Daisy bath mallow - moisturising but otherwise disappointing, not much fragrance to speak of and no colour to the water - beginning to think this box is a dud batch as the last lot of the same I had I loved, not sure whether I've been spoilt by Lush ones though....

Not updated my stash list yet for Feb but really do need to to stand a chance of knowing where I'm upto!! No planned spends at the moment....

girlybags, I was so pleased when SD own brand got the leaping bunny because it meant I could actually afford cruelty free, instead of buying BS or Liz Earle. Although I did buy Herbal Essences shampoo in the £shop, slapped wrist for me.

It's also the perfect justification for buying Urban Decay palettes :rotfl:

I was glad when I discovered this too, I thought it was going to be a lot more difficult (and more expensive) to get everyday stuff like shampoo/conditioner, hair dye, shower gel etc. SD do some nice stuff and have quite a good range to choose from

First 4 UU's of the month!! And 3 items off my Feb PP List!


1. [STRIKE]Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion +[/STRIKE]
2. [STRIKE]Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate Shower Gel[/STRIKE]
3. [STRIKE]Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural: Medium[/STRIKE]
4. S&G Butter Yourself
5. Miss Dior Perfume
6. Sure Black Diamond Deodorant
7. Clinique All About Eyes
8. Lush Spaced Out Bath Bomb
9. Lush Candy Mountain Bubble Bar
10. Lush Angels Delight Soap

Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate Shower Creme WDBA, but have another 1 in the stash for now. Perhaps my HG Shower gel, still need to test out a few more to be sure though.
Really moisturizing, which is very helpful to me as I have very dry skin, smells lovely and leaves me feeling clean!

Clinique DD Moisturizing Lotion + WDBA, infact I also have another full sized one I got for Christmas in the stash! Going to give Clinique a rest for a while, have been using all their skincare products since I was 18! Have the full range of No7 Skincare to try out, bought with vouchers and the 3 for 2/BOGOF glitch ages ago! Have been sitting unopened ever since, so opened them and started using them tonight!

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, HG Everyday powder!
Already replaced this just before it ran out. I love it for work everyday instead of a thick fluid foundation. I just mix it with some Mac Fix+ on a kabuki brush and it gives a brilliant coverage, but still light enough for everyday wear, and quick and easy to apply...which is a bonus when you start work at 6am like me.

Lush Ultimate Shine Shampoo Bar WNBA - Strips the colour from my hair..my hair is dyed a lovely dark purple (Live Colour) And this strips it out so quickly! My hair does feel squeaky clean with it though, perhaps if my hair was a natural colour it might work better!

A few splutterers, but no UU or IN's yet.

Painted my fingernails Zoya Stevie from the Pixie Dust range (liquid sand type) it is a greyed lilac with lots of fine silver sparkles, toenails in need of painting, but need an early night so won't happen tonight.

Which leads me to a question - can anyone recommend a matte topcoat which will make the polish last longer? I used Nail Envy Matte today, but it is a bit expensive to use all the time. I have been searching internet, but can only find the mattes which make gloss finishes matte, and the ones I found did not seem to offer any protection from chips.

OPI do a matte top coat which gets good reviews- £6.95 on nail polish direct. I have some but it is in my untried pile - hangs head in shame.:o

UU

25ml green people gentle eye make up remover - WNBA like using a cream cleanser and ineffective.

Lush blackberry bath bomb - WMBA made the bath a dark purple and was quite fragrant.

Sample size clinique stay matte foundation in alabaster - WNBA a lovely foundation and a great match to my skin however I was looking for something with more coverage. If my skin ever returns to its pre 40's state I would buy again.

Hermia

UU

4) Body Shop Ginger Sparkle hand wash - smells utterly gorgeous, but would only buy again if I had a coupon as it was too expensive.

5) Soap and Glory Hand Food hand cream - WNBA as the smell is vile and I used a tube in a week so clearly not rich enough for my skin.

5) Aveeno hand cream - WBA, although the porridge smell is a bit off-putting!

Babafette

I've painted my nails with OPI You Ottaware Purple this evening. I'm still soldiering on with the remains of my first Project Pan list, the facial wipes are still going and the shampoo is proving to be a real long haul job. :undecided

On the plus side, the Body Shop Coconut Shower Cream is nearly finished and I think I'll have to cut open the tube of Calvin Klein Escape Body Cream soon.

Good morning ladies
I have 2 uu's: Sen stress relief shower gel, I used this as hand wash, the scent is lovely but I found this product to be too drying so for that reason wnba.

No 7 hot cloth cleanser, I like this and find it to be just as good as the more expensive variations on the market, it's also frequently on 3 for 2 which helps, have more in the stash

Happy pampering xo

Hi ladies!
I'm in again, sorry I'm late.
January was fairly successful (minus the sales)
21 ins all from sale (most are mini sizes) and 22 UU - 17 from my PP list.
The three remaining PP items are being rolled over to this month, and one is UUd already!

UU:
Naked glossing hair conditioner 400ml- WIBA? I got this from the £ shop and it lasted months and months even with continuous use, so was definately value for money,but I did get a bit bored of it. Maybe. Moving on to an Avon again oil combo- last shampoo/conditioner bottles in the stash!

Sanctuary body wash 250ml- WIBA? Lovely stuff, have a few more minisin the stash yet though.

I'll be back with a February PP list!
Have a good day everyone

I have a uu

Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Splash Away Foaming Cleanser - 50ml, WNBA - I wouldn't pay EL prices for face wash and this didn't do anything special to justify the price.
