No buying unneccessary toiletries May 2014.

Kadison - I hope that your foot heals quickly and/or you work out what is wrong with it

I have a small UU

151. Yes To Cucumbers Facial Wipes (Travel pack of 10) - these were nice to try but I WNB as I prefer the Waitrose 3 in 1 ones that are cheaper

I went home yesterday and collected my post. Lots of INs! I'll list them properly later but it was the May Birchbox, the British Beauty Blogger box and the YOU beauty box :eek: (but also exciting :rotfl:)

Welcome to 123 and Fixx

Willowbee

Here are my Ins

1. Aromatherapy Associates Relax Light Bath Oil (3ml)
2. Philip Kingsley One More Day Dry Shampoo (50ml)
3. Liz Earle C&P (30ml)
4. Kniepp Enjoy Life Bath (May Chang and Lemon) (100ml)
5. La Roche Posay Eau THermale (50g)
6. Janjira Art Of Siam Hand Wash (50ml)
7. L'Occitane Lotion Divine (100ml)
8. Benefit It's Potent Eye Cream (3g)
9. Elemis Treat Your Feet (20ml)

I've already used up the Roger & Gallet Gingembre Rouge perfume sample. It's really nice but the scent fades quickly on me so WNB.

I haven't counted the make up INs

I realised that I had already listed the YOU beauty box...

Some lovely INS willowbee - what shade nail varnish and eyeshadow palette did you get? I didn't order one of the boxes so am living vicariously through other people's :rotfl: Looked like such a great box.

Sundaysgirl I have tried the Percy and Reed finishing polish - I didn't mind it but was a bit too heavy on my fine hair. I haven't tried the Sanctuary heel stuff. It takes me ages to get through foot cream though and thought I would try to de-clutter a bit. If it doesn't go at the car boot I may be persuaded to hang on to it

Started working my way through the 'to try' products today. The things I tried today were ok but not amazing, not sure if to get rid of them or not! I am so rubbish at getting rid of things!

Hello! Despite feeling a little guilty about the INs, I realise that I was lucky to get one of these boxes (I missed out on the previous two BBB boxes). I was a bit nervous about the different variants but decided it was worth it regardless...

For nail varnish, I got the shade Spin The Bottle from Essie. I've just tried it out and it's the first nude that has ever suited me :j It's a very pale pink cream and it is opaque in 2 coats.

I was a bit disappointed by the Revolution palette - I got the very bright one ('Make Believe') that Jane shows in the video. I was hoping for a neutral one but I've tried three colours today and they're very pretty. (I think it's a bargain for £4 ) The mascara is nice enough but not amazing (just my first impression. I'll be interested to see how easy it is to remove. It's much better for me than Benefit's They're Real though, so I'm pretty sure I'll use it all up ) The Charlotte Tilbury lipstick sample is So Marilyn (a really nice red). I've not dared try it yet though! :rotfl: The Bourjois blush is number 3 which is nice and natural looking (I would have been happy with any of these). The only disappointment is that I hoped to get the Mandarin Kniepp bath rather than the lemony one but never mind...

I hope that your car boot sale goes well You have a very impressive list of potential outs :T

I've found a competition to win the British Beauty Blogger box :j

http://www.latestinbeauty.com/blog/win-1-of-5-british-beauty-blogger-dream-boxes/

Good luck everyone

(I hope it's ok to post this?)

Ooh lovely Willowbee. Sounds like you got some great things. Does the very bright Revolution palette have some more useable shades in it? Is it the one that is a dupe for the Urban decay electric palette?

I haven't tried anything from Revolution make up yet but there things look really good.

Thanks for the good luck on the car boot - I have a TON of stuff to get rid of. Am hoping to make a bit to put towards my debt and declutter.

Welcome fixx, and it sounds like you're making great progress with lots of outs already!

Unfortunately they were all almost finished anyway, or small sachets (or had to be binned!), but it is nice to have decluttered a bit. I can find things a bit better now!

One more UU:
- half a Lush bath bomb from a box of Lush stuff. No idea what it was, it was half a bomb without any wrapping Purple, with silver stars in it. Nice, but a prefer bubble bars, so dug out one of those and put a little in as well!

I have a lot of Lush stuff to get through, it's quite silly. I always forget how much I enjoy baths too. I've got a damaged knee at the minute after a skiing accident, and as most of the damage is muscular (my doctor had a good look at it), baths really help!

One more throw-away too:
- Clinique pore minimiser serum. Really old, crusty when i took the top off, and just looked suspect. So that in the bin. I dread to think about the value of the stuff I've had to bin just because I left them so long! :mad:

Time to declare the INS to ruin my recent influx of OUTS:

106 - Balmi mint lip balm
107 - Soap and Glory Sunshield supfluid spf50
108 - Bourjois volume 1 second mascara

110 - Collection cream puff in cotton candy
111 - Barry M Gelly nail polish in coconut
112 - Barry M Gelly nail polish in olive
113 - Barry M Gelly nail polish in almond

Got sucked in by the new nail polish shades/3 for 2/other various offers
