No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2015

I have a few uu's

Elemis Rehydrating Ginseng Toner 50ml - this felt nice due to the glycerine. WMBA

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Eye Cream 3ml - this is nice and does make the skin feel firm, I have two more pots this size in the stash to use before I think about buying but honestly I don't think I will buy it due to the price.

Borghese Fango Active Mud for Face & Body 200ml - only in your wildest dreams can you imagine how many uses there was in this tube. I only used it on my face and I have been using it very regularly for 2 years, twice a week for the last few months. It is very good and only takes 5 minutes to work. It does draw out spots so best not to use the night before something special. I won't be buying anytime soon as I have loads of masks.

I love moisture surge so that is well worth knowing - thanks. It seems a bit odd though to be such a difference.

Hi Dolly,

I know - I thought maybe it was a blip but it is on both the moisture surge extended and on the intense versions! Great deal for us though, I tried to post a link but I am too new to do that. Anways, I shouldn't be feeding peoples addictions so maybe it is for the best


I have my first UU to report - Decleor Hydrafloral day cream. WBA when I have used up all other creams in my drawers as this is my favourite moisturiser and I have been using it on and off for years. It smells amazing and has the perfect texture for me.

I UU from yesterday. Lush Honey I washed the kids soap. I would buy because I really liked it, but with Lush stuff I tend to just wait until I get it for a birthday or xmas present as it's a bit of a luxury for me.

One UU today

9. Maybelline Dream Flawless nude foundation. The original foundation was a tad light for me and gave light coverage. I mixed a Revlon foundation with it that was a bit thicker and a shade darker. I liked using it but don't think I'll buy again because I want to try others.

Just GA Benefit Roller Lash to a friend as it made my eyes very watery. It was a magazine freebie, so wasn't full size and to be fair I prefer They're Real.

I have plenty of others to UU anyway :eek:

One UU today:

Tesco Pro Formula Hydrating Cleansing Wipes: These were nothing special - much better, cheaper alternatives. WNBA.

Hola Beauty Queens :wave:

I have been MIA for a few days because canInotjustgetfiveminutespeacewithoutdramathakyouverymuch?! :mad: I love my family dearly, I truly do, but I am fed up of everything going t!ts up! :rotfl:

I'll try to keep this brief (:rotfl: not likely :rotfl:)

Had a big clear out of the bathroom cupboards yesterday, decided to be ruthless and TA about 10 things which had only dregs, had been open for an age and a half or I just didn't like. Nothing worthy of mention really, or worthy of declaring, just the general tat which had developed a layer of dust since my last declutter

I have a 4x4 July update for you, including pics for those who are interested…

No7 Melting Gel Cleanser - this is destined to be a big fat failure I really, really dislike it, so much so I'm contemplating chucking it in the bin, not least because I am pointing The Finger Of Blame in its direction for the two whopping spots I've had on my cheeks for the past fortnight *

Hit pan on my Benefit Coralista blush - here it is! So proud of this one, it's disappearing fast and I'm not fed up of it in the slightest thus far, it's like a blush/highlighter combo with a very summery feel IMHO

UU my MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack - ta-DAH! This has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish, as you can probably tell by the way I have scraped out every last drop I have heard some YT beauty gurus say that this is prone to drying out but I have had this open since the start of November, I've used it every single day since then and it was as creamy and lovely in the end as it was at the start. I have replaced it was a L'Oreal equivalent but if I'm less impressed with the new kid on the block, I will be back to MAC to buy another immediately. I have also stuck it in my Back2MAC bag for when I finally, finally have six whole products UU

Hit pan on at least THREE shadows in the MUA palette which I'm trying to UU - one last pic for your viewing pleasure. Suffice it to say, I have exceeded my target for 4x4 and I'm still enjoying this palette a lot. Oddly though, it's the matte taupey brown I'm struggling with the most, despite preferring mattes over shimmers on the whole. I think it's because it's just too dark to work as a transition colour on my [STRIKE]pasty white[/STRIKE] porcelain complexion

*I have one IN to declare, some Freederm gel which was half price in Sainsburys, in the hope of taming the two aforementioned face demons. It seems to have made some difference in the inflammation and hasn't turned me into a flaky beast so I'm seeing that as positive

I'm going to read back in what I've missed now, so I'm bound to return with more frontier gibberish presently xx

One use up to declare from yesterday - Rimmel Primer. AWFUL and WNBA if it was the only primer left on earth. Smells cheap and chemically but not when in the tube weirdly. I could smell it all day on my face but went with it until it was difficult to get anymore out. I couldn't cope with it for any longer!

I'm now onto the last primer I have in my stash - yay! But this is also an awful one (which is why I haven't used it often). Benefit Stay Flawless. It's so thick when you put it on your face that even though I try to spread it with my fingers and brush when I'm putting foundation/bb cream on top it's difficult to spread it. It's the most awful thing in the world and please do not waste your money on it. I'm willing for it to finish but am refusing to give up on it because of the cost. I wouldn't even GA as I wouldn't be that cruel. Good news is that it does seem to be decreasing quickly!

Will go back and read what I've missed this week!

Hope everyone has a lovely day and weekend xx

Another UU from my PP list : 1 x can of Umberto Gianini dry shampoo. This product is so :money:. Has lasted forever. Not sure I would pay the full price for it though as Batiste performs just as well at about a quarter of the price. I did get this particular can on clearance at my local Boots.

So my PP list is now like this

Umberto Gianini dry shampoo x 1
Liz Earle Eyebright
Mark Hill straightening serum
Liz Earle IBST
Elemis PCMC
Avon foundation
LG Spackle

The toner will probably go next as I had decanted the last of the 200ml bottle into my 30ml spritzer and it was not spritzing much this morning. Next will probably be the foundation as the tube has been cut open and it looked this morning like there could be only one application left.

A UU also that is not on the PP list:

50ml tub of Boots Extracts Mango body butter. Love this product. Will buy a full size when I've got through the Sanctuary body butter I have I think as I think this will be ok layered over my cirtusy verbena shower gel.

Love your photos FizzWhizz. My Dallas powder looks like your Coralista pan wise. Am still working through the Cargo blusher and Bobbi brown eyeshadow that I'm using for this challenge but do admit to mixing them in and out as I get bored of the same things.

Am now addicted to watching YouTube videos on the bus on the way into work in the mornings. Say Pretty Pistol's make up basket for this week which included the Blacktrack eyeliner plus about five others! I don't know how she gets out of the house in the mornings! Saw a very lovely lipstick on there and am making a list for the US.

Have a great day all. Thank Crunchie it's Friday. xx
