No buying unneccessary toiletries May 2014.

Sundaysgirl

Hope everyone's well - belated birthday wishes And, and hugs to those having a rubbish time of things.

UU:

108. Sanctuary Relax Coccooning Body Butter 100ml - WBA, lovely scent and absorbs well, but several still stashed!

INs:

88. Liz Earle C&P 50ml

89. L'Occitane Divine serum 7ml

Both freebies so guilt-free! :j

I keep forgetting to say - the Kleenex shine-free wipes worked a treat on my wedding day, so thanks again for the recommendation (I think it was pixtotts and sjrmc)

Hello ladies I am still about not much on the use up front just a l'occitane cherry blossom shower gel 75ml nice but wnba and have a large one in the stash anyway. cant remember who was on about Estee Lauder but I got a free sample of Perfectionist wrinkle lifting/firming serum and I am in love with it it makes my skin so soft I will be buying when I have used up everything else I have but at £38 for 30ml I will have to save up for it as I only use cheap things or trial items.

Happy belated birthday, And. What beautiful weather you had! :bdaycake:


Some UUs to report, three from my PP list :j

142. Maybelline Rose Ivory Mineral Loose Powder Foundation (8g) - I have another of these to UU. I find it useful as a quick way of looking ok WBA but it has been discontinued

143. L'Oreal 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar water (200ml) - WNBA as I found it harsh on my skin yet not strong enough to remove Miss Manga mascara (not even waterproof!) Looking forward to using the Garnier version next (Hope it's good as it's 400ml! :rotfl:)

144. Benefit Dr Feelgood Silky Lip Balm (Relic 15g) - think this has been discontinued as well. I'm still using up the matching lip scrub. I will miss this! Still, plenty more lip balms to use up...

145. Benefit Benetint (12.5ml) - another relic and (to my shame) I have another one that I bought as a back up in the Christmas sales years ago. :eek: It seems fine and has been stored in the box. It will probably be years before I finish the 'new one' :rotfl:

That's all for now

You are doing very well, it was the elemis and l'occitane that did it for me and if I had bought those separately I would have paid the same and not got the extras. I know special offers are the reason I have so much stuff. But I did go into lush today and only came out with a few bits for a present for someone so cellotaping the shopping pixies to the naughty step seems to be working for now.:D

Hurrah for outwitting the shopping pixies! Well done :T

It was the Elemis and the L'Occitane that got me as well. The L'Occ almond moisturiser is one of my very favourite things but I've only ever had the 50ml pots (in freebies and kits). The fullsize is :eek: expensive for me to buy, though I've been sorely tempted many times :rotfl:

Hola Beauty Queens :wave:

I was going to come back and chunter on about Dermablend again as I thought I'd cracked it and was getting it to last but after a hard day of doing not very much at all, it's slid off my face again :mad: I'd like it to be good, I'd accept it being bad but I can't be doing with inconsistency!

KT, I used to be a retail manager before I moved from Wales to the West Mids, but I struggled to find part-time work which didn't involve evenings or weekends so instead, I set up my own cleaning company. It's helluva boring BUT I can pick and choose the hours I work, I'm actually earning a higher hourly rate than I was in retail (something's wrong there!) and when I get home I'm not stressing over KPIs or bringing work back with me, unless you count having to clean my own home :rotfl:

Anyway!

UU #83: Sainsbobs Anti Dandruff Shampoo; again! Think there's only one left in the stash now, after which DH can buy it for himself coz I'm mean like that

UU #84: Estee Lauder Take It Away Make Up Remover 30ml; GWP, WNB. I can see the point of this if you use a cleansing lotion but if you use a balm or HCC which removes your slap, it's a pointless step as you need to cleanse after using it anyway. Also felt rather thin and mean after using thick HCCs.

I ordered from TBS last night as they had a flash sale on, but I only got home fragrance oils :A I love the scents and they're much longer lasting than the Sainsbobs ones I used to buy, it was less than £10 for 4 which is a real bargain IMO. I have an aroma diffuser and get through these quite quickly, but all the same I could probably do with joining a "no buying unnecessary home fragrance products" challenge :rotfl:

And finally, an update to my May PP List

1. Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation 30ml
2. TBS Vitamin C Reviver 30ml
3. Superdrug Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser 150ml
4. Jergens Ultra Healing Body Moisturiser 350ml
5. Aldi Lacura Renew Eye Cream 15ml
6. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
7. Sinless Sun Body Scrub 250ml
8. Estee Lauder Take It Away Makeup Remover 30ml
9. Mudd Original Mask 50ml
10. Diesel Loverdose EDP 30ml

Does anyone on here have the Smashbox full exposure pallette? I've bought it on an offer after wanting it for ages, but when I then googled it the reviews are completely divided and now I don;t know whether to return it? xxx

I am doomed to never graduate this challenge, I will announce the ins I'm actually definitely keeping...

1. Glamglow 10ml
2 and 3. glamglow tingle 15ml x2
4. caudalie leg tan sachet
5. elemis 15ml pcmc
6. loccitane 50ml body lotion
7. dr organics hair oil 100ml
8. elacticiser 40ml
9 10 11. manuka doctor face mask, moisturiser, face mask sachets.

The above were in beauty boxes, and since the glamglow is constantly been used, they sort of made economic sense?!

12 13 Bareminerals moxie lipstick and gloss - have wanted to try these for ages and they were a fiver for the pair so was v chuffed

14 Liz earle skin tonic 200ml Have wanted to try this for ages, so when in boots manchester I paid for on my boots points

15 16 17 Mac Maleficent lipstick, sculpt powder and beauty powder.

Have no justification whatsoever for the Mac stuff! I had wanted the lippy but it had gone oos on the website, so when I was in Manchester I went to Selfridges I went to have a LOOK at it...and came away with the lipstick and 2 other things, fool I am!

A UU... Body spray from my advent calendar (beauty advent calendars are amazing for the soul, not so great for stash reducing) x

Well if it's any consolation I love your style, logic & taste. Selfridges is temptation city - you did well to resist and only buy a few things x
