No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2015

Can someone tell me how long perfume keeps for? I have quite a few bottles to use up, but I can't smell things very well and I'm not sure if they still smell right IYSWIM I like to smell nice even though I can't smell it much myself - I 'glow' sometimes, and I worry that I might not be nice to be near so even though I keep clean, it's good to know I smell good

I am not sure there is a rule. I have noticed some perfumes do seem to go off quicker than others. I have lots that are a few years old that smell identical to the new bottles in the shop. I do store them in a cool dark place though.

One UU - Couvent Des Minimes hand cream. WNBA. Nasty stuff. It was way too strongly scented and my hands actually felt dryer when I was using it!

One IN - a trio of Rose and Co Patisserie De Bain lip balms bought from TK Maxx. I have dry lips and these are absolutely amazing. Also one smells like Parma Violets!

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

That deserves a round of applause. Finishing a lip balm takes some doing.

asset - I forgot about your question about lines. Balance Me do an expression filler which gets good reviews.

I have perfume that is 3 years old and has been stored in it's own box and in a storage box and they have all been fine when I open them.

I have a uu

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Scent Spray 15ml - I love, love, love this. It smells exactly like green tea, I have a full size one in the stash along with the matching shower gel and body lotion. I will definitely buy again after they have gone.

Another uu

Boots Extracts Brazil Nut Body Butter 50ml - this is really lovely and I prefer the texture of these to the Body Shop ones, I have a full size in this scent in the stash and 4 minis in other scents.

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!

That's why I try to stay out of TK Maxx. So many tempting goodies at reduced prices.

Has anyone else seen the Liz Earle offer today re: the kit containing three limited edition Cleanse & Polish. Am so so tempted but £50.00 is a bit steep I think.

I too love the texture of these body butters. 50ml doesn't last me long though.

Nothing else to report. I did let Emma take something from my stash the other night for friend's birthday but in the end she chose a small Soap & Glory kit containing small Clean on Me and Righteous Butter which was hers in the first place. She also took an Aussie dry shampoo and a tube of S&G Heel Genius for herself but these are not really OUTs as somewhere down the line I will use them also.

I am using S&G Foam Call and Righteous Butter at the moment and these go really well with Jack Wills Hope Cove body mist. Am loving these altogether.

Other than that I did repaint my nails last night and am wearing OPI A Definite Moust Have which is a lovely coral colour very similar to Leighton Denny I Love Juicy.
