No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2015

mcculloch29

Here's the link to my review on the nail art brushes. Some jealous expletive has already marked it as unhelpful. Lots of us who review find this happens just cos we get free stuff, really narking as the reviews often take a long time to write; you need to make them as helpful as possible obviously.

For the month
Makeup
Foundation

UU - superdrug mini dry shampoo - wnba it was ok but there are others that are better
IN 1 x mark hill dry shampoo mini - wnba see below
Out see above - best dry shampoo I've ever used but the aerosol leaks and so you only get one use. Waste of money
Out 1 x batiste tropical dry shampoo would def buy again

Oooh! Some unexpected UUs...

13. Crabtree & Evelyn Christmas votive - v nice but prob can't buy again (I got a set of 3 from a charity shop)

14. L'Oreal Revitalift 10 Total Repair Serum - WDBA if I can find it at the same price (discounted to around £8). It was lovely to use and reminded me of Lancome Genifique.

15. Bamford Organics Geranium Body Lotion (50ml) - WNBA as there are other (cheaper!) things that I prefer.

Post a link or the name. You never know someone might know of a dupe for you.

Good idea

Anyone know any dupes for this?

Have you looked at mua. I think they have a similar colour. I think it might be shade 2?

On first glance it reminds me of Benefit Dallas powder.

VALM

Aintshesweet have now googled for a dupe and the search has brought up NARS Decotour. Now I got that blush thinking it was a dupe of Dallas (which I'm getting low on) but its darker. I think Dallas is more like your Damson colour.

VALM - The SA at a Benefit counter told me Dallas has been discontinued - of course it has because it is lovely.

aintshesweet - Avon do a blusher called Soft Plum which is very nice and might be similar or No7 do (or used to) a loose mineral blush in Damson.

I have a make up uu

Estee Lauder Invisible Foundation - this is gorgeous, it is very thin (quite like Chanel Aqua something or other), it is totally invisible to the naked eye on the skin but gives good light to medium coverage. It's in a squeezy bottle and I used every last drop, so much more :money:than a pump.

Not officially taking part until next month but managed to walk away from this months Elle mag and therefore avoided the Benefit mascara :T

I wish I could promise that I won't buy it next time i'm in a shop but for now the will power is holding strong. Also cancelled my YouBeauty Discovery box as the last few months haven't been as good.
