No buying unnecessary toiletries April 2014

asset2004

Looking for some advice, getting fed up of my frizzly hair, I've been using a John Freida serum (remember these from the B@@ts £2 hair voucher ) and it's still a mess.
So seeing as I have quite a lot of Amazon vouchers to spend earned through TCB thought I could get a set of straighteners, any ideas? Obviously not too expensive :money::T

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

A couple of times a month. I use baby shampoo with a few drops of tea tree in it. Have used anti bac hand wash in the past (the chocolate orange one leaves the brushes smelling lush )

Sorry I don't know how to quote two people in same post.

Two things I find fab- my babyliss big hair brush & Phillip Kingsley elastisizor (cheapest place to buy Look Fantastic. I have long curly hair which gets frizzy so easily.

Hi there

Was wondering if I could join in please?

I have been reading all your posts over the past couple of weeks and you all sound like a happy, chatty bunch. I have decided that I NEED to do something about the ridiculous amount of stuff that I have.

Have started to make a stash list but got fed up at number 204 and can't even remember buying half the things I pulled out the boxes! Oh the shame:eek:

Hello kitkat
Perhaps you could just start with your 204 things and then work on the rest after? :A

Just did a really interesting experiment. Did half my face in my usual revlon bb cream and half in maybelline bb cream with my usual revlon concealer on both sides and lily lolo powder foundation over the top.

In real life the maybelline looked slightly better as it went much smoother over my dry patches by my nose ( the joys of combination skin) but when I took a selfie the revlon side was far nicer even though my eye bag on that side is much worse with no makeup on. ( I look like I have a black eye today with no makeup).

So I'm glad my revlon stash isn't going to go to waste.

I hate waste but I'm going to have to give away my lacura eye cream. It makes my eyes sting

My first activity of the month UU Aveda Botanical Kinetics Toner which I had anticipated and replaced in advance last month.

I did similar with my foundation- one side Max Factor facefinity & the other with teint vissionairre. I think the max factor lasted better- but that might be because I am more liberal with it as it's cheaper.

2 ins of sorts - loreal true match foundation (running out, none in stash), shampoo tester in Cosmo - forget which brand I'll update when UU.

Also got garnier moisturiser tester I've had before but going to use it now so neither here or there :P

A big welcome to all the new people.

I still have no UU

Fortunately I have 9 further ebay sales to keep the stash moving in the right direction.

However there are ins:

Flexitol heel balm - I have neglected my feet recently and they are in need of some TLC. This was bought on clearance.

Anne Sermonin mineral mask

Sunday Riley ceramic slip cleanser.
