No buying unnecessary toiletries February 2014

VALM

Have caught up with you all. I see that no-one has fessed up to buying the Elemis TSV which makes me feel better.

A UU and it's that tube of NSPA BB Cream on my PP List at last. Admittedly I have caked it on a bit today and can feel it on my skin but I was so sick of not getting through it. Lovely product though and I'm planning on buying a tube for my hols as my make up will be too light for my skin once I've got a little tan.

So my new PP List:-

Origins Plantscription Eye Cream 5ml - this tube is now cut open.

Burts Bees body lotion - can't remember the size although it could be 75ml - tube is flat and needs to be cut open

Burts Bees food cream - same size as above - need to cut tube open as can't easily squeeze any more product out.

Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator - full sized - tube cut open

Lush Lip Scrub - only product left is clinging to the sides of the jar

Sure Deodorant roll on - feels very light

LE mascara - keeps coming out dry so can't be much left of it.

Aussie conditioner - packaging is now misshapen and lighter

Mark HIll Straightening Serum - feels light though tube still intact.

L'occitane eye roll on sachet - in a bid to get through as much eye cream as I can so I can treat myself to a tub of the Origins one.

I've been bad couple of ins...
Primer - rimmel - fix and perfect - old favourite
Foundation - rimmel - stay matte in 201, I usually get 200 but going to give it a try...
annddd
Rimmel eyebrow pencil
I've decided I need to try and do something with my eyebrows they are horrible, they grow completely differently, one is about twice as dark as the other, and really bushy
The primer was need... the other 2 not so much but my £20 vouchers came from sun came. But what makes it even worse is they didn't have the stay matte primer which I really wanted and was in the two for £9 so effectively I just spent £5 more than I wanted to I should have said I'll leave it...buuut I never... oops!

Back from a week away with a few UU and finally caught up, looks like I missed a few freebies:eek:
UU:
Boots Botanics All Bright day cream, WBA nice smell and rubs in easily
Wilko face wipes, great value for the price
Burt Bees deep cleansing cream, not too sure about this one

UU another tester for garnier moisture match, the orange one which I think was for dull skin?

Trying to work my way through all the testers and mini's at the moment as they are used up really quickly

mrs-moneypenny

just a suggestion would it be wise to keep a few of the mini sized products back for holiday season especially if you are flying and nee small products and containers to help with space when packing

OUTs!

41/42 - alcohol gel. I keep these in case I go to a festival. But I go to an outdoor thing maybe once a year! My MIL is obsessed with these so I'm giving them away.
43 - Cath Kidston bluebell hand cream. Very nice indeed and lasted ages! Finished up and lots more hand cream in the stash.

Afternoon everyone :hello:

I'm afraid that I have three TAs to report. I really didn't want to throw anything away but........

Kempinski Conditioner 50ml x 3. I used another one with no issue, but I've tried another batch (different packaging) and it's just made my hair sticky and horrid. Really bizarre, but I'm not liking it at all. I'm keeping the accompanying shampoo as I have no issue with that.

Quite disappointed in myself as I didn't want any TAs.

Some UU's to report and confirm VALM that I didn't buy the Elemis TSV, we can be goody two shoes together:rotfl:

UU
30ml Elemis PCMC a HG, have loads more but going to use L'Occitane Divine Cream next.

125ml Clarins Exfoliating brightening toner. WBA but have Pixi Glow to use nest.

15ml Emma Hardie Eye Serum, loved this, it is quite runny but so economical and lasted aged. I think they have changed the formula, but I have one more to use.

3ml if a Dior Anti Wrinkle Cream, not enough to know if it really works and is rather thick so WNBA.

Took of China Glaze Prism and repainted with Sally Hansen Extreme Night Lights.

I have been using a Smashbox primer sample, but WNB as it feels yucky on my skin (although make up looks great) and have a little Bare Minerals Prime Time. BM seems to be on the Peta list but not on BUAV, any recommendations please from those that prefer bunny friendly products. Skin type dryish, sensitive and quite fine textured.

Yet another post I could have written! Sometimes I look in the mirror and think it doesn't look too bad but the light mustn't be great in my bathroom because I'll so somewhere else and think it looks horrendous.

Gosh, I know that feeling well. I thought my skin wasn't looking too bad one day, but then I caught sight of myself in a mirror in a shop and was really upset when I saw how red and blotchy it was. I haven't tried the green correction cover ups yet and when I wear foundation it just seems to stick to the dry bits. My skin always seems worse when I've had a shower.

If you haven't already I would definitely ask to be referred to a dermatologist.

I was thinking of asking, but I assumed they would just try and fob me off.

On topic, I nearly caved in and bought the Sanctuary Valentine's Gift Set the other day but managed to resist. I did wonder whether it would be reduced, but I've been into town today and there was no sign of it in my small local store which is probably a good thing! I did buy a Soap & Glory Hand Food Handwash for 75p from the RSPCA charity shop, but I don't hoard these so I won't be adding it to my stash list.

I've had to cut all my nails short as my thumb nails have split again, so I've painted them with OPI Care to Danse? today. I may have to bling it up with a glitter topcoat later though. :rotfl:
