My totals for May are 38 UUs and 54 INs, I have gone a bit mad lately so I'm going to try to be much more restrained this month, I've got enough of almost everything for several months, tbh I will probably only need to buy shampoo, deodorant and facial suncream in the near future, possibly also body sunscreen if the weather is kind to us!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

Back for another month.
Almost stuck to the budget last month but right at the very end I went over. DD3 was off to Italy for a half term photography job. She's very fairskinned so I wanted to be sure she had a mini sunblock and spf chapstick with her. I ventured into poundland with no cash, just a card (minimum card spend is £5) - big mistake! I have a stock pile of Dove shea butter soap, which is becoming my HG, though I fancied something fresher for summer. Poundland had Imperial Leather Grapefruit scented soap, and shower gel. I loooooovvvvvve the smell of grapefruit and have been on a hunt to find the perfect body wash for ages,have been disappointed by BS and Original Source's version, so.... I weakened! The Imperial Leather soap is nothing much to shout about (already given away 1 x3 pack to to hubby, and 1 to my brother) but the shower gel smells amazing.:rotfl:While on summer break from uni I am going to be working 5 days a week in a hot kitchen so I figured I need it anyways.
PP for June:
Aldi's Carino Rasberry shampoo and conditioner (since this is so cheap I'm interested to see if it's any good, with 4 girls with long hair in the house we go through a lot of shampoo/conditioner!)
Frankessence Beeswax, honey and lavender handcream
Schwarzkopf Gliss hair repair treatment
Avon virtual lift serum
Mellor and Russell nourishing hair oil
TA:
Innecto self tan, old and decidely dodgy looking.
Avon sheer nourishment tinted moisteriser. No idea what possesed me to buy this. I am more oliveskinned than most, but I will never be that shade of orange.
Put away: Knock off of a chanel no.5, gift from a relative. I have been trying to use this up, but now it's just not summery enough so I think I will put it away till autumn.
Do you ladies have any advice for an ignoramus like me...
during summer I use a 'holiday skin' type moisteriser for my face, a little tan and I usually don't have to use foundation. However I've noticed it does not have spf (!), so I got out Superdrug's 'natural high' day cream spf 15, I also usually wear the Avon virtual lift serum. Basically, what order would you put them on?No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!0 -

UU #98-101: Aldi AquaV Family Shower Gel 300ml; I have a tonne of these stashed for DH to plough though. Emptied 2x the blue stuff into his Radox pump bottle last month but didn't declare at the time as they weren't technically UU; however, I have quickly realised that's just gonna get me muddledSo two of the above are UU and the other two green ones (bamboo) have been decanted; from now on I will declare them as OUT when the original bottle is binned. Sorry if that's confusing but it makes sense to me!
UU #102: Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 001 Translucent; WDBA, HG.
UU #103: Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Lotion; dug this out to replace the Jergens I finished yesterday, thought it was full but it was virtually emptyGot enough out to slather myself today but it's definitely finished now. Well, that was a freebie

Thank you Clutterfree for starting us off again. Count me in for another month too.
Just come from a visit to Aldi, I picked up the eye cream, but gave myself a talking to:( and put it back on the shelf, I have enough eye cream for several months, so it was definitely a want and not a need. Did buy cotton pads, but I don't stash these and don't include them in totals.
I have been doing a "half face" comparison using Rodial Glamtox cleansing balm and Merumaya balm, I bought the Rodial for a really low price on some offer or other, but although it is lovely I would not pay £50 ish for a cleanser. I am happy to report, that on my skin, could see or feel no diffrence at all between them:D0 -

It's funny, I would class my entire face as sensitive and I'm doing fine with the Lacura eye cream -- we're an odd bunch, eh?!0 -

It made my skin flake and my eyes stream but then my eyes are sensitive and hayfever ridden which wouldn't have helped. I really like the day cream, the night cream I found ok but nothing special but I thought the eye cream was awful.
The only eye cream I have ever loved is the dr hauschuka one but it is very expensive.0 -

During the summer you need to use a proper facial sunscreen, not just a day cream with spf in, that won't guard against sunburn and skin damage just incidental sun exposure, making it best for the winter months.
I always recommend this one as it stays on for 8 hours so perfect for under make-up and is always on offer. It also has 5* UVA protection so it's excellent for preventing skin damage as well as burning. It's my HG as it makes my skin look so good I don't often feel I need foundation :T

If you use serum, you want to put that on before your moisturiser and let it sink in for a couple of minutes.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

If you use serum, you want to put that on before your moisturiser and let it sink in for a couple of minutes.
I use a sunscreen as well as bb cream. I tried the one above last year but didn't love it on my face. I found it a bit greasy.
To answer the order of products question, So if it was me in the morning I would apply primer - so if I was you I'd go serum first, then your cream containing sunscreen. I then do powder and reapply sunscreen thoughout the day and powder over the top to stop me looking oily.
You can get mineral powder with sun protection in as well
I only recently bought it but I am liking solait 50spf high mattifying face fluid from superdrug. It isn't that greasy and doesn't have that horrible sunscreen smell that some of them have. To be fair the soltan one smells ok too. I like the soltan body ones the ones which are a clear spray great for not getting cream all over your clothes.
I think you can get the superdrug one in SPF 20, 30 and 50 but I'm ghost pale so it's 50 for me.
It's on offer at the mo and was £1.98 for 50ml0
