No buying unnecessary toiletries April 2014

2 outs, this month is going well already!
- Clarins Gentle Day Cream (mini). WMB, it was nice enough but I preferred the REN day cream I had before.
- Colgate whitening toothpaste. Not seen any whitening effect and realised the tube is smaller than my normal toothpaste, so not wasting my money on it again.

The day cream is amazing. I use that as night cream I find the night cream a bit heavy but you will see. I think that range is brilliant value as it seems to always be on half price or 3 for 2

Thanks for the personal recommendation I read reviews on their website and both products get excellent reviews, I was in the market for both day and night creams so I thought, at the price, they were worthy of a punt! My skin is super dry so maybe the night cream will suit me better than you. That said, since using the HCC it's been much less dry, so much so that I woke up with an oily face in the week after using my usual night cream :eek: I don't think that's ever happened before in my life!

I'm tempted! It does say you can use it over lacquer. Do you think I could use it over Shellac or would that damage it and/or mean it didn't work?

Think the shellac would stop it working as the shellac is so strong.

Could be worth giving your nails a rest from the shellac and trying the nail envy whilst you re grow them.

Forgot.. I logged on to say I have a U/U - the Puffy the eyebag slayer patches. In honesty WNBA - they were slimey & didn't do much.

Had my email from Love Me Beauty box & chose that this morning. Next months Glossy box is free, then I'm suspending my membership. The beauty boxes are lovely to have but my stash will never go at if I keep them.

One quickie...

UU #55: Sainsburys Antibacterial Handwash Honey and Willowbark 250ml; WDBA, think I declared this as a Carex one when I said it was in use but I actually prefer this. Replaced with same from stash.

Another UU, a lip balm that I got in Lanzarote 2 years ago :O
£1 in the pot for it

I'm combination skin so yes maybe it will be better for you. I've used the day cream for about 18 months now.

I also like the radiance balm I leave it on over night sometimes. It's really nourishing. I don't like the face mask particularly, it's just ok I won't buy it again. Haven't tried the hot cloth cleanser

UU NO 4 (I think?)

Snow fairy 100mls........only 29more bottles of this to get through :rotfl: Was a HG but I think that by the time I've emptied 30 100ml 'travel' bottles I may feel a bit differently about it

Slightly off topic but makeup related question. How often do you wash your makeup brushes and what do you use to clean them?

Far less often that I probably should! Generally about once a month. I use either baby shampoo or micellar water (if I'm being really lazy).
