No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries May 2015

VALM

Nice haul dolly.

I have finished my project pan list woop woop:T:j:beer::rotfl:

Last UU Dove deodorant. I tend to alternate between Dove and Sure roll ons depending on which is cheapest when I repurchase. Have a sure one to use next.

Have put together a mini PP list to the end of the month. Not sure I'll UU all 5 items but here goes:-

Umberto Gianini dry shampoo x 2 - both are very light
Mark Hill straightening serum.
LUSH Holly Golightly bath bar
Liz Earle Eyebright lotion

DreamyP

I have one UU for today...

16 NYC LIQUID Eyeliner in pearlized black. I love this eyeliner HG for me and wba. Doesn't irritate my lids and last all day. It also dries very quickly too.

Dazedandconfused

I'm still on my no buy for shower gel
One thing I'm noticing is that while I've been using soap and glory orangeasm I don't think it's particularly any nicer than my cheaper shower gel but Im using much less due to the pump. So I think I will keep the packaging and put my original source gels in it when it's done. Not that keen on the orange scent.


UU lush angels on bare skin
IN the above. It's my favourite cleanser
I'm also using. Sample of dark angels given to me by lush

IN - but I think this was last month and I forgot to declare - seventeen bronzer, I just wanted a paler matte bronzer. I only had NYC which are great for if I have a slight tan or am wearing darker foundation but otherwise I look a bit orange

In seventeen brown black waterproof mascara. I really like this. Not as good as Barry m for waterproof. But it's less clumpy and the best value thing I've bought for ages highly recommend

In - neels yard orange and Geranium hand cream - I bought a magazine to get this free. My hands are very dry and I remembered neels yard hand cream being excellent in the past. This is great except for the scent which is herbal old lady. Already got rid of most of the hard skin on my hands

UU body shop hemp hand cream. Would def buy again been using it on my feet too

IN - these were car boot bargains - body shop rose hand cream 100ml - not as nice as the hemp one on the skin but it's a solid ok
Body shop peppermint intensive foot rescue - not used this yet
Bodyshop hemp foot protector. not tried yet
These were someone's unwanted Xmas gifts and I got £30 worth of product for the bargain price of £3

Apart from when I need a handbag sized hand cream refill I'm not on a no buy for this

IN lily lolo peepo corrector. Im going to give away my elf mineral concealer to make room for this

In Lily lolo porcelain foundation. There was a great deal on eBay and I've only got 1/3 of this left and it's my mixing colour. The deal made it half price. I shouldn't need to buy another one this year. Just couldn't resist,

Just to add because I've seen people comment on them. I have two makeup revolution palettes and have had them since I think February / March
The hot spice blush palette as I had no peach blushes and I wanted to try something new
Makeup revolution salvation eye palette in - what are you waiting for

The blush palette is the star. It's subtle yet visible on the skin, I think it lasts better than my benefit dandelion. It's too big to travel with but otherwise it's an absolute winner for £6


The eyeshadow palette isn't as good as my urban decay naked 1. There is much more fall out and the applicator is cheap, but for £6 it's a winner. The matte shades are much more useable and pigmented than my nyx naturals palette. The shimmery shades with primer last as well as the urban decay and last much better than my MUA palette which is the naked 2 dupe.

This palette is neutrals but because I don't think it's a dupe has a variety of undertones, I really rate it.

Another strong recommendation is simple moisture cream SPF 30. You have to let it sink in for ages so it's not greasy but since I've been using this again I've noticed a reduction in the fine lines on my forehead.


Current no buys
Perfumes
Bodyspray
Shower gel
Moisturizing lotion
Bronzer
Blusher
Lip gloss
Foundation - although I will get the lily lolo bb cream in the new pale shade when it goes on to feel unique
Hand cream except handbag size
Foot cream
Neutral eyeshadow palettes

I can buy dental products again. Had an excellent dental appointment where I don't have to go back for a year (that was after 5 years without going to the dentist) so I'm really pleased with my current routine.

congrats VALM for completing the project pan list. I'm still on 1 pan and still working towards 3 more by July x


I hope I can remember all my UU's, I have not had any IN's

UU:
Lush - Snow angel bath bomb
Lush - flamingo bubble thingy...forgot the name of it
Lush - Dirty shaving cream
Lush - Massage bar (the one that smells like rose)

Gave my friend: Lush Karma Kream body lotion (I liked it but have so much lotion) and gave him my Lush Celebrate body lotion too (love the smell but not the feel)

Making my way through my Lush stash...I find that when you leave the bath bombs for a long time they aren't as fizzy or as magical so I'm really working hard at using them all up.

6 OUT
Have a great weekend ladies!

Nice one VALM!

1 UU - a travel size Soap&Glory Hand Glove 2 in 1, mask and cream. Really good. Scent is a bit heavy for my taste though but an important step to go through my hand cream empire...

Wow Valm good work!

I finally finished the Burts Bees citrus and grapefruit showergel and I'm actually a bit sad about it. It lasted ages! I really liked the fresh scent, and the fact it doesn't really linger for long - you just smell clean. Will miss it! Looking forward to some of the other scents in my stash though.

UU
Avon Bath Oil
Botanics BB Cream
Good Things Purifying Cleanser
Body Shop Vitamin E Sorbet Face Cream
Avon Anti Aging Sunscreen SPF50

So 125 -5 =120

Well done for finishing your PP list so early, VALM! :T

FizzWhizz - congrats on panning two eyeshadows! That's brilliant :j

Dolly - I'll try to remember to mention the Liberty offer. I think it will be mid to late September. I've started a Liberty only wishlist on my Kindle. It's motivating me to score as many UUs before September as possible

Some more UUs

Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Lotion (50ml) - WBA if it was on offer/in a kit as I adore the comforting scent.

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Hydrating Cream Cleanser (30ml) - WNB. This was a bit too rich for my skin and it left it feeling oily rather than clean. Glad it's UU! Seemed to last forever, esp for a travel size :rotfl:

Bumble and Bumble Sunday Shampoo (250ml) - WDBA as I love this shampoo. I can only use it occasionally as it has SLS in it so a bottle lasts for years.

Dove Hair BB Cream for Hair (5ml sachet) - absurd name! Made my hair feel like straw. WNB!

Abahna Lilac Rose and Geranium Body Lotion sachet - WBA as it's a beautiful scent.


I've sorted out yet more things to target today.

A UU and a few naughty INS.

UU

• pixi Glow tonic – WNBA, I don't feel like it really did much (although that may be because I've had it so long it has stopped working. The colour did go from the liquid)

INS

• Olay regenerist daily serum
• Olay regenerist night renewal elixir (buy one get one free at Superdrug)
• Soap & Glory body Butter


Now I really must focus on getting my stash down!

I've got one TA to report

Blue Heaven Kajal Stick- It's kinda old and it transfers. I was undecided for ages until I realised it may have turn hard because it is fully exposed. You can't really sharpen it so once you use the tip up, the width is thicker like a lipstick. I know people use it an angle but for me its really not worth my time.
