No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2015

dolly84

Lankygirl - I love the Benefit cream eyeshadows, Birthday Suit and RSVP are my favourites, they don't budge and make a great base for other shadows too.

Plumpudding - funnily enough I hated the Dr Perricone foundation and was so glad I just had a sample of it. Would you let us know how you get on with the NEOM candle, I have never tried one due to the price?

2 UUs to report this morning

Pears Handwash - this was only a part bottle which I'd decanted into a travel bottle. Very pleased to have the travel bottle back for something else. This was in my en-suite, and I've moved a fruity one from the cloakroom (with matching handcream that I'm more likely to use at bedtime if it's close by) upstairs, and replaced it in the cloakroom with a full Pears one from stock.

Aquafresh Mouthwash. I'm hoping this was the last of the mouthwash in the house, but until I've been through all the boxes I seem to have piled up all over the place I'm not counting my chickens. I won't be buying any more though.

Plumpudding

2 more UUs today:

Green People exfoliating body wash (sachet) - I've really liked the Green People products I've used before, but this one failed to wow. There weren't enough exfoliating bits to do the job. maybe because it was in a sachet.

A 30ml Just Grapefruit body lotion from Arran Aromatics. I think this has nearly gone off, which makes me a bit concerned about the other two I have. Got another one out of the stash to start tomorrow. Was an end of line I think, they have the very old packaging but I only bought them about 6 months ago.

Dolly84 will certainly let you know about the NEOM candle, although it has taken on a bit of a 'pink rose candle' status amongst my (many) other candles. It was a TKmaxx find, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. I get so excited when I find 'posh' brands in there.

1 UU – Nivea lip butter in vanilla & macadamia WBA, and have another one open already.

I wondered if these were TK Maxx purchases Plumpudding. I was in there at the weekend and found Miller Harris, Emma Hardie and Neom...SOMEHOW managed to resist but I did come back with plenty of other things instead!! Thankfully mostly not toiletries so don't have to declare on here ;)
I do love finding brands I know and love in TK Maxx as most of the stuff they've got in I've never even heard of!

Hello all


UU's to report


Body shop Satsuma body polish 75ml. Nice smell but did dry out my skin a bit. WNBA


Body shop Satsuma shower gel 250ml. Enjoyed using this but did get a bit fed up of the smell towards the end. Was nice using this over Christmas because it did somehow feel a bit festive. WNBA


Oils4Life Frankincense & Rose cream 100mg. Lovely inexpensive cream with essential oils good for both face and body. I love this so much I already have a replacement in my stash. Highly recommended, buy online from Oils4Life website. It is gentle on the skin, not greasy, hydrating and lasted ages. In fact I finished it up as body cream to use it up. Wonderful stuff.


Johnsons cotton buds. basic stuff, already have a new one in my stash.


That's it from me for now. I hope you are all having a nice February.

Evening

UU's
Northern light bath ballistic WNBA beautiful to watch in the bath but I do not like the scent.

9 sachets of serum WNBA these left my skin with a residue I did not like. I put them into a bottle to make me use them up.

Soy something or other bio lumpule WNBA nice enough but nothing special, have another one to use but they are only tiny.

Lavender soap WNBA this is actually a TA as I found a blusher brush in a draw so washed it using the soap, it did not end well. The bristles fell out and stuck themselves in great quantities to the soap (which was nearly finished). It really did not look good and I was scared that someone may visit and think I may have been doing some pruning.

SBC arnica gel WNBA not a fan and really probably not the time of year to use up an alcohol based product.

Good evening, after some tips please
I got a new phone last week and been taking selfies (I know ) but quite aghast with the expression lines on my face, especially bags under my eyes :eek:.
I'm in my 30s and using Aldi under eye serum and Olay facial serum night and morning, also moisturiser with SPF and a night moisturiser.

I find the bags look worse if I genuinely smile so trying to work out how to smile without closing my eyes anyone have any tips or advice on products I can try.
TIA

Would any of these help?

Simple Kind To Eyes Soothing Eye Balm or Loreal Revitalift are good and not so expensive by the way.

TA - Work the Colour Eye Shadow as it was damaged badly somehow!

Someone bought the Burts Bees cleanser, so that's -1 in the stash!
