No buying unneccessary toiletries May 2014.

girlybags

I have had around 40 UU's this month so pretty pleased. Most of these have been sachets or mini 50ml sizes of body butter/shower gel etc but still my stash has been reduced a bit so all's good

5 INs so far, one was NBI.

Anyway I'm off to Wales for a week on Friday and have got loads to do this week so might not be posting again until next months new thread. Will be taking travel sized stuff away with me so hopefully more UU's to report when I get back!

Welcome miclare and welcome back kadison! clutterfree I hope you're ok.

I have a UU and some naughty INs thanks to Wilko's £2 Nivea promo!

UU 110. L'Occitane Divine Extract serum 7ml - WNBA, was ok but so expensive and I'm undecided as to whether a serum isn't actually pretty superfluous if using a decent moisturiser? I have another in this size.

INs

90. Nivea Sun Protect & Refresh SPF10 200ml
91-93. Nivea Sun Moisturising Sun Lotion SPF15 200ml

I now have enough sun cream stashed to last me for several holidays

I love this, I used 30 and 50 on my recent holiday. I think you meant 20 though as it doesn't go lower (and no-one should go lower than 15 anyway )

Few INs from a wander round town yesterday... Picked up a free 50ml LE C&P - absolutely didn't need it, have several cheaper dupes of this, but can't resist a freebie! So far not a fan of the scent. Also got Nip+Fab viper venom night cream in TKMaxx, onto my second tub of this and love it! And 1 in/1 out for toothpaste.

My Maybelline better skin foundation sample finally arrived today and it's in an awful ghostly shade! Did anyone actually get it in a useful colour?

You needed factor 50 for a Scottish holiday in May?! :rotfl: Weather must've improved a LOT since I moved Down South JK, glad you had a great time but sorry you're suffering with the post-holiday-blues xx

It was very sunny some days, I always buy a 30 and a 50 for the summer so that's what I had and used, plus the Nivea is a cooling thing too so quite nice on its own.

My may-be-becoming-boyfriend is arriving in a couple of hours so I'm all of a tizz, I feel very butterfly-sy and nervous as he's seeing my house for the first time so I spent a few minutes arranging the bathroom so nothing undesirable was showing :rotfl:

How are you? xx

Well I was doing ever so well with no IN's....

Hubby bought me a bottle of emporio armani diamonds as an anniversary present then yesterday we went to York for the day and I bought 3 bath thingys as a treat to myself. Used to buy them all the time but havnt had any for ages and have started to have more baths.

UU- used the lush marshmallow bath thing already- WBA, very pink!

Glad you enjoyed your holiday Kadison.

Lush melting snowman - WNBA left skin moisturised but what a medd it left in the bath.

Have painted my nails in Scofflaw flotsom and jetsum but although lovely im too pale for these pastel shades.

Have just ordered my 2nd helmer as I have serious overflow issues so perhaps a bit more organisation will stop me buying dupes.

Forgive me forum I have sinned. It's been 24 days since my last confession. :A

I had a binge and bought new makeup. I decided to buy no7's instant radiance concealer as the collection 2000 concealer I had was too dark and yellow for me. Even the benefit concealer I'm using to cover up my dark blue under eyes is too yellow, but it's evened out by the no7, which I also use to halfway down my cheeks as a highlighter.

I should start at the beginning. Had a lovely spa day with friends on friday. Lying on loungers by the pool, had a gorgeous neck and back massage and the therapist was not afraid to get right in to the knots under my shoulder blades. Two days later I feel a little bruised but three inches taller.

One of my gorgeous friends put together a mini pamper kit for each of us to take to the spa; two bags of sweets, a drink, carmex cherry lip balm and a montagne jeunesse face mask. Well, the seal of no INs was broken at that stage, and so I took it as a sign and went to Boots later that day to buy the concealer.

This is where it gets messy people. Cover the eyes of the impressionably and/or young.

No7 has buy one get one half price on all makeup.:eek::eek::eek:

I know.

So four items of makeup later , my INs are as follows:

Carmex cherry lip balm
Montagne Jeunesse face mask
No7 instant radiance concealer
no7 pop & glow cream blush stick rose blossom
No7 stay perfect shade and define - glistening ray
no7 high shine lip crayon - statement

Oh, and my Emma Hardie moringa cleansing balm arrived from feel unique and of course they give you samples so I also have:

Emma Hardie cleansing balm 100ml
Dr Brandt's singature flexitone cream 2ml
Vichy idealia life serum 3ml

My UUs by comparison are looking a little anaemic:

Champneys spa indulgence oriental opulence shower cream 50ml - love this, have two large tubs of the bath foam still to use.
Eucerin even brighter night cream 20ml - I was also using this as a day cream as the day cream pot has gone walks somewhere in my house. Wasn't moisturising enough for me, didn't find it brightening so WNB (was a freebie last year)
L'oreal ever riche shampoo 10ml sachet - nothing special WNB
L'occitane volumizing conditioner 8ml - love l'occ but don't think I could justify the full price of their haircare. Have loads of freebies still to use anyway.
Champneys spa indulgence distant shores bubble heaven 300ml - this is the hot pink one. I liked the smell to begin with but now it's a bit too sweet for me, and the body cream irritated my skin. I have one more 300ml tub to use but then WNBA I think.

I have a few things to do and a few splutterers to use before month end so am hoping to smash the IN/UU balance.

Hope everyone is well, will try and catch up on the last four weeks of thread!:T
