No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries April 2015

Hope you have all had the same glorious weather we've had here.

Another uu

Pears Shower Gel - WBA. This is cheap enough, smells good and lathers up well.

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a good Easter! I'm on Day 12 of working straight - one more to go and then I can finally have a day off!

I've somehow found the time to get some UUs so here they are:

Random Hotel Body Lotion.

COLAB Dry Shampoo New York 200ml: HG and WBA when I've used the other dry shampoos in my cupboard.

Beauticology Frosted Cranberry Body Wash 50ml: This was actually a TA as the formulation was horrible - came out like a jelly and wouldn't foam up.

TBS Frosted Cranberry Shower Gel 60ml: This smelt like alcopops to me but it did foam well. Probably WNBA.

Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser 200ml: This hasn;t really done anything for me. WNBA but I have another in the cupboard.

TBS Shea Body Butter 50ml: This is my HG and I have two big pots in the cupboard - WDBA.

Going to have a mooch around Bootson my day off as there are a few things I want to pick up - hopefully I can restrain myself!

UU - Palmers cocoa butter 450ml pump bottle

I got every last drop as I decanted it into an old face cream jar. I will miss this while I'm using the body butters and lotion, the Burt's Bees lotion doesn't quite sink in the same.

Have also finished a Charles Worthington hair spray / shine which was fab, WBA when my big bottle of Elnett runs out. Unfortunately didn't add this to my original list so not an official out!

My parents went to the middle east recently, and I had requested Bell eyeliner to be brought back (this is impossible to buy in Europe) so I've got some INs to report:

• Bell eyeliner waterproof
• Rojina eyeliner – all natural super long wear
• Beyu lip liner
• Excel lip gloss 550

I hope everyone has had a lovely Easter.

Tesco spa body lotion mini - WNBA didn't really like the smell of this, it was ok, I used it up by taking it to work for sleep ins. Glad it was only a mini size.

I received this as a gift for Christmas and also didn't like the smell. I didn't like the matching shower gel either - I couldn't wait to get rid of it!

I have a few UUs to report:

1. Planet Spa Body Scrub - I was very surprised with this. I wasn't expecting much, as I love the Covent Garden Scrub, but this one was even better. I was quite sad when I finished it, as it did such a good job of exfoliating my skin. I would love to receive it as a gift again.

2. Dior eyeliner pencil in black. This was a gift from DM years ago and did a good job but I WNB because I doubt it was cheap. However, I have some left of another one plus a Chanel one so I won't need to buy eyeliner for a while.

3. Jean Paul Gaultier perfume. I have had this for years and so it was nice to finally finish it, although I did really like it. I think it was the classic scent but I'm not sure.

4. Aquafresh mouthwash - HG.

I feel like I'm really getting somewhere now! It's nice to have space in our toiletries box and my bedside table, rather than wondering where on earth I'm going to fit anything new!

A little uu from me

Colgate Total Gum Health Toothpaste - I bought several of these a few weeks ago for £1 ish each. Plenty more toothpaste in the stash to replace it with. WBA.

I'm sitting out in the garden as I type this, what a beautiful couple of days we're having! I'm not back in work until Thursday which is even nicer:j Makes a difference from Good friday, I don't think it actually stopped raining all day!

Anyhoo, I have UU
Lancôme genefique serum - WNBA - this was another GWP size, i've used this before and having used it every day both times I still didn't see any difference. That being said i'm not sure it's really for my age of skin so for others it might be amazing but I wouldn't go out and purchase.

My Becca jewel dust eyeshadow didn't sell on eBay so feel free to PM me if anyone wants it for free, just pay postage? It's an emerald green colour, never used, colour is called Feeorin.

Hello

I hope everyone had a lovely long weekend and did lots of pampering (and not too much choc-induced buying of smellies).
So far have only managed one measly UU this month - Aussie mega instant conditioner.
I am considering taking the plunge and selling some make up on ebay. Never done this before, but I'm just not going to wear it all and I need to start saving up some money, so this could be the start. Any tips on this gratefully received!:)

Hopefully no-one minds a discussion topic but I'm looking for good hints and tips for my travel toiletries /makeup (I'm on the dreaded Ryanair).

Particularly looking for recommendations of good dual-ended makeup brushes, stick products like blushers etc.

I got a two pack of double ended (so, 4) Ecotools brushes from Amazon recently. There's an angled liner brush, a flat shader, a crease/blender brush and a stubby smudger brush. I'm very impressed with the quality and I think they'd do just about every job no matter the eye look you're going for.

I'm about to colour my hair and have a big scrubby shower, hoping to UU a product or two but probably not *sigh*
