No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries May 2015

Yessssss.....

UU #7 for the month

Adidas Icy Burst 24hr Deo Body Spray. WNBA. Fresh enough scent, but doesn't last. Been using as a body spray 3 days a week on average since the latter part of last year, so it was a relief to have it spray air at me this morning Have other bodysprays in the house (heaven knows how, as I don't recall buying them), so will drag out one of those to replace this.

Two UUs today:

Superdrug Flirty Body Spray 75ml: HG - WDBA.

L'occitane Piovine Flora Hand Cream 10ml: Nice fragrance and less greasy than the last freebie hand creams! WNB though due to price.

One *kind of* TA:

EOS Honeysuckle Honeydew Lip Balm: This disappeared into thin air, or possibly rolled under the sofa! Either way, I can't find it. It was almost finished anyway so when it does reappear, it's going in the bin! EOS are my HG and I have a plethora of flavours to choose from to replace it!

And now some naughty INs because I'm feeling miserable as my spots refuse to clear up and my eye conditions are flaring up :

Boots Extracts Vanilla Body Scrub 400ml (Body scrubs seem to be one of the only things I don't stash and I really needed one!)
Boots Bontanics Invigorating Face Scrub 75ml
Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash 150ml
Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Spot Wand 2x3.5ml

VALM - is it the Instant Eye Eraser something or other concealer. I can't understand why they would discontinue it as it seems super popular, I have one and really like it.

Looks like I was given duff information by the Boots SA. They weren't selling it all on the Maybelline stand in ASDA yesterday either. Just saying x

There was also a diffuser but I don't count that for this challenge.
Also have this on its way !

Arrived! Gave myself a finger cut when opening too !

I'm glad they got your Rituals order sorted, FizzWhizz. Great customer service

I'm really jealous of everyone opening their Rituals parcels! (Although I'm sorry that you got a paper cut, asajj.) I'll be super-happy to open mine on my birthday though so am trying to be patient...

Some UUs

Clinique Deep Comfort Hand and Cuticle Cream (40ml) - WNBA. It's very effective but I prefer a scented hand cream. Also, my hands don't get that dry so I don't need such a rich formula.

Jane Iredale Eyelash Primer mini - great stuff but WNB as there are others that are easier to get hold of.

Le Labo Fleur D'Oranger 27 EDP (1.5ml) - really beautiful but I prefer my Penhaligon's Orange Blossom and Le Labo is really expensive (my Penhaligon's perfume was in the sale!)

Etat Libre D'Orange Divine Enfant EDP tester - WBA. This is gorgeous. It's now on my wishlist. It's similar to the Elie Saab perfume I have but I'd love to buy this after I've finished the Elis Saab.

L'Oreal Revitalift Laser Renew Global Day Cream SPF25 sample - WNB as it was too rich/oily for my skin. It wasn't too bad considering the high SPF (I struggle with SPF for my face...) I think this would be great if you have normal to dry skin.


Three TAs

Body Shop Eye Smudger - WNBA. I never liked this! It has taken me years to accept that the foam is just too scratchy to use! :rotfl:

Rimmel Recover Foundation in Ivory (30ml) - this was my HG foundation, long ago, which is why I hung on to it. It has oxidised so it has to go. (I looked orange when I tried it out :eek:)

17 Adapt-itude Skin Match Foundation SPF 15 - this is such a shame. I love the formula and the SPF doesn't irritate my skin but it goes way too dark on me :eek:


I've had much better luck with drugstore foundations over the last couple of years so I don't feel quite as bad about letting previous mistakes go. (I'm terrible about hanging on to things that might be useful so decluttering is a slow progress.)

I too am jealous of all the Rituals boxes! They sound lovely.

Can anyone recommend me a good fake tan? I haven't used one in about 10 years but am hoping they have improved since then!! My memories of fake tanning then were that I always looked orange and very streaky! I have a number of events coming up in the summer and I would like to not look as pasty so would like to give tanning a go again. I would prefer one that has a 'guide' colour so that I can see where I am putting it.

A UU S&G the Righteous Butter, first time I've used this and really like it. The Clean on Me that came with it, isn't even halfway through and its been on the go for 2 months, its :money: if nothing else!

I have two UU's today.

17. A dark brown shimmery shade from my Make Up revolution Redemption Iconic 2 Palette. 4 shades down 8 to go.

18. Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Stick by Kate in Turquoise. I thought I'd take this on holiday but ended up using it here as a base for my eyeshadow or sometimes on its own. It's lovely and I was surprised it got finished as the last little bit fell out when sharpening (I was expecting there to be more product further down). WBA if it was on offer.

momobingu

UU's:
Lush silver star bath melt (forgot the name) - 2x
Lush unicorn horn bubble

I've also used up 2 perfume samples but threw the samples away before logging the names

5 outs

Payday is tomorrow and I'm trying to be really good and not buy anything.

I have a few INS and 1 UU:

INS:
Eve Lom cleansing balm (100ml)
Eve Lom morning time cleanser (100ml)
These came in a set on lookfantastic and there was 15% off my order so got as good a price as I could!

Nuxe Reve de Miel ultra comfortable face cream - used to replace my moisturiser which will run out in a couple of days. Love this stuff, it's really rich and nourishing. Great for dry skin.

UU:
Dr Weil for Origins toner - this was only a sample so couldn't tell if it helped. I'm still not convinced of the benefits of toner, they either seem to dry out my skin or make it more red.
Also on the dregs of my Lancome bi-facil but have already repurchased.

Don't feel like i'm getting anywhere past couple of weeks! (possibly because i keep buying things ;-) hehe )
