No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2015

[Deleted User]

A few UUs for me this week:

Soap & Glory Scrub of Your Life 50ml: Love almost everything by S&G but 50ml is such a small amount for a liquid scrub! WBA in the bigger size.

Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel 75ml: Used this many times, WBA.

Love and Wilde Vanilla and Honey Body Lotion 100ml: Amazing scent and nice consistency, WBA.

Sainsbury's Passion Body Spray 75ml: Was cheap and smells cheap. WNBA.

Paco Rabanne Lady Million 50ml: HG and have always been bought it as a gift as it's so expensive. Was sad to think I would not be able to buy a replacement but managed to pick up and amazing deal in the Black Friday sales so I have one waiting for me in the cupboard once I have finished everything that is already open! WBA!

Hope you are all having a good week! :j

Plumpudding - I'm quite envious of your TKMaxx finds. I try to avoid it as much as possible (too much temptation!) but I wouldn't have been able to resist your excellent finds.

Dolly - it was very interesting to read about the 'meh' Kerastase reviews. The sample bottles I had came in the British Beauty Blogger box a while ago and I was so excited to try them. I'm glad I didn't ever give in to the impulse to buy full size versions just to try

maddiemay - I forgot to thank you for your suggestion of a salt foot bath to help with RLS. Such a great idea! Economical and great for evenings when I don't have the energy for a bath. (I'm very sorry to hear that you have RLS as well though )

MrsCD - nice to see you posting again I have perfumes that must be 10 years old and are still fine. They definitely keep better if they're kept in the dark though. Also, if they're over half full they should be ok. (I rotate mine so I have some out and some safely stored away.0:) I've only had one really smell 'off' and that was over 15 years old :eek: (I kept it for sentimental reasons.)

pirateyqueen - it made me laugh that you showed off your empty lip balm! :rotfl: I'd probably do the same

Two small UUs to declare:

23. Philip Kingsley Flaky Itchy Scalp Shampoo (20ml) - this seems pretty great! WMB a full size when I've used other shampoos up.

24. Caudalie Radiance Day Fluid for Dry Skin (10ml) - WNBA as it's too rich but I love the combination skin version of this.

That's all for now

The Vanilla and Honey body lotion sounds lovely! My favourite candle is Lily-Flame Vanilla and Honey

I'm glad you were able to find your favourite perfume on a good deal

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.


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.

I put Q*C on earlier while I was doing battle remaking the bed and wrestling with a KS duvet cover LOL, Caroline Archer said that LE will be back in March with their anniversary show, so there might be some decent offers then perhaps?

Nails sound lovely, I am really struggling with mine again, hopefully after a week of so with Nail Envy or Nails Inc Kale basecoat I might get them just long enough to use some colour. I have the nude NE and it looked quite good with a little sparkle on top, do you have the pink one? if so what do you think of it?

Pleased that the foot bath idea is useful, I find it rather relaxing and an excuse to do nothing for a while:D

I love that PK shampoo, I bought a litre size and decant into a small bottle for the shower, I don't have to use it every hairwash atm, but i will never be without it. The No scent no colour conditioner really suits my fine hair too, it does not weigh it down at all.

Thanks for the suggestions
I have 2 INs to declare from the weekend - Lidl's new perfume that was on offer fpr 2 for £7.
I have Lidl's other perfume and use it often and really liked the new perfume but have been holding off till it went on offer

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

Perfume can keep for a long time (longer than cosmetics) as long as they have been kept in a dark and cool place.

Hi ladies, it's been a while. I've been busy with work and busy using up products

IN: someone gave me a body lotion I have too much body lotion so this one will end up being given to someone else.

UU:
Lush African Paradise shower cream
Lush turkish delight shower cream
lush blue skies bubble
lush christmas eve bubble
still have loads of lush products left to use.

I'm currently working on my MAC makeup as well. I decided to no longer support them and I want to use up what I have.

That's a useful tip as well I have a reactive scalp and switching to SLS free shampoo really helped but I think the PK would be useful to have for every second or third wash or whenever my scalp feels particularly irritated. My hair often goes annoyingly fluffy on the first day after a wash but it didn't happen with this shampoo. I'll add it to my allowed list and will wait for a good sale/offer.

A couple of UU for me Lush Brazened Honey face Mask and Right Guard Total Defence 5. Off away for the weekend for a much needed chill, have a good weekend all!
