No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2015

ruby_eskimo

Morning everyone, still trying to catch up on the thread but I have a few UU's already:

- Avene Ystheal Eye Cream: WBA, love using this at night
- Avene Cleanance Moisturiser: WBA, love using this in the morning
- Sure Maximum Protection Deo: HG, already replaced
- Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Foundation: HG, have replaced with the last one in my stash
- Rimmel Stay Matte powder: It's ok, not the best I've used. Gone back to my Chanel loose powder but might try the Soap and Glory one when this is finished

Happy birthday to Lynseydee and to Sundaysgirl for Friday, in case I am not around then, have a lovely time:D

Another 2 UUS from my list above being the LE Hand Repair. Don't usually get on with this but it has been very comforting to use at the moment as my hands are so dry. Will concentrate on the Neutrogena one now.

Gilchrist and Soames body lotion. As mentioned last time this was a freebie from the cruise. WNB. Felt like it was packed with mineral oil. Anyway they are all gone now.

Though I don't count make up was pleased to come home from work yesterday and find a LG Balance N Brighten and Tartufo blush from maddiemay. Very pleased with both products and will probably alternate the BnB with the liquid foundations I have to UU in my stash. Am really not a fan of liquid foundation as it feels so thick on my skin. Maybe I'll save it for when I go out.

I have an IN too, courtesy of this lovely lady ValM, 3.5ml Elemis Frangipani moisture melt to go in my weekend bag also some yummy samples (which don't go on the figures):D

Val if you are seeking a lighter texture, try mixing a little foundation with a small amount of moisturiser and then applying, in effect making a tinted moisturiser, it can often work well.

Now that you have received these I'll declare these as two further OUTs. Hope my other swap goes as easily as this one.

Thanks also for the tip. Will definitely give that a try. Managed to pinch some of Emma's BE Mineral Veil yesterday morning as I don't have a powder to apply on top of liquid foundation either which made my make up feel even more cakey. Must give this a go.

More TA to report (have bathroom cupboards full of stuff that needs sorting out and throwing away, too much to do in one sitting!)

Dawood & Tanner Sicilian Lemon tooth cleanser 100ml wnba didn't like flavour and SLS. Over 3 years old...
Lush Mr T deodarant powder 50g wnba, didn't work(!) also over 3 years old!
Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic 75g wba, but couldn't use it before it went off (also so old, it had fur on it!). Will reuse pot.
Impulse hint of musk body spray 75ml, wdnba, not sure why I ever bought it as aerosols and even the smell of it make me choke!

Have a Few more UUs left from last month

Lush Father Xmas Bath Bomb -WDBA, leaves my skin soft and my bathroom smelling lovely
Biore Warming Anti Blackhead Cleanser 100ml - WMBA but not full price. Picked this up yonks ago for 25p in my local sainsburys. Was pretty good but worked best as a weekly scrub for me. Was one of very few "heating" products I have used which actually worked.

Finished last month without having made any purchases… then this month came along and I was very naughty

INS:
YSL black opium 90ml - don't ask me why. I have too many perfumes as it is and one bottle of this already on the go… was on offer, but then again, when isn't it!

Illamasqua set with brow gel, cream eyeliner and eyeliner. Couldn't say no when it was £13.50 for the set. All will be used… eventually!


Hoping that I'll avoid any further purchases this month and have lots of UUs...

Happy birthday!

I have my first INs of the month - my friend at work gave me her L'Occ freebie as she wasn't fussed by it!

1/13. L'Occitane Delightful Rose hand Cream 10ml
2/14. L'Occitane Vanilla Bouquet hand Cream 10ml


and a UU:


1/21. Cussons Mum & Me Relax & Unwind Bath Soak 50ml - fine but WNBA.


Thanks VALM for the advice on LE IBST - final question: do you get the spritzer or the bottle?

happy Birthday from me too lynseedee.

I buy the usual 200ml bottles but decant into a 30ml spritzer bottle. Seems to last longer that way.

My other swap arrived today too - another lovely LG blusher.

Hi all, going to join you this month (it's a short one so I'm hoping I manage to hold off buying anything). I don't think I've got time to make a stash list so I'll just post my UUs.
I've got a weakness for beauty boxes, lucky dips and free samples, thinking I'll somehow discover my next HG product, but I just end up with a load of things I struggle to use up or are irrelevant to my beauty needs. I've got to get things under control!
UU Weleda Millet shampoo WNBA - I don't feel like it did a good job and didn't really like the smell. It was a mini size.
