No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2015

rdone -well done for persevering with your primer. The Benefit one sounds awful, have you googled some reviews to see if you have a dud or maybe there is a way of getting it to work?

Fizz - hope you get 5 minutes to put your feet up this weekend - with a cider perhaps :rotfl:.

VALM - how do you use the Liz Earle Eyebright? I have a bottle but am not sure what to do with it.

Willowbee - you've been quiet, hope you are feeling OK:grouphug:.

I have a uu

Joico K Pak Shampoo 300ml - WMBA, this came in beauty box and it was very thick and luxurious and pleasant to use and lasted forever too.

To be fair dolly I'm only using this as it came in a kit. I use it as an eye make up remover although it's not very effective on all mascaras.

Am thinking of getting some micellar water once this is gone for this job. Emma uses Take the Day Off but I find that a bit greasy. HTH

Eyebright is to sooth tired eyes - soak cotton pads and place on eyes for couple of minutes. However don't leave too long as it can dry your skin.

I haven't Dolly no so I shall give it a try now. I did try asking at my local benefit counter but I was pretty much told to suck it up as there's nothing they can do about it.

Now that I've promised myself I can't buy a new one until this is finished I'm determined. I went without primer for a couple of months and it was noticeable by the end of the day!

I hope my post didn't sound to annoyed earlier, having reread it I think I should have been a bit calmer... oh the joys of planning a wedding with people who don't want to help pay and towards it and then make a big show :mad:

Years ago I tried this once but my eye area went bright red and puffy. Not the look I was aiming for, I will try again but just leave for a minute or so like you've said. Thanks

I have another uu, just an itty bitty one though

D&G Dolce Floral Drops - this was a sample and I think Floral Drops is part of the name ?? Anyway WNB it was nondescript.

Hi ladies,
A flurry of UU to start June.

REN vetiver v7 body cream 100ml
Clarins day cream sample sachet (I forget the name)
Norfolk lavender soap
Loccitane spring cherry body wash 250ml
DKNY be delicious perfume 30ml

Aiming for 15 UU this month, let's see how I get on!

1 IN Model Co lipgloss free with glamour (cost £1 and needed something to read on a long train journey). There are so many nice looking beauty freebies at the minute, trying hard to resist!
I've also repurposed a chunk of soap, a body spray and a shower gel- progress!

UU

Herbal Essences Clearly Naked Shine Shampoo - quite a nice, lightweight shampoo WBA

Really and they call themselves professionals? I had an issue with a mascara once and emailed benefits customer service who just told me they'll forward their product feedback team my comments. They did nothing to help. I had a look for you on boots reviews (the ones that rated it quite low) and it seems like a common problem. Also had a look on makeup alley too for reviews http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=163324/Stay-Flawless/BeneFit-Cosmetics/Primer/-Corrector I hope some of them help you out in how you can use it to make it work for your skin

I have a problem product too. I break out with my pore professional...but if I use it for a a day or two and then give it a rest I get no breakouts. Otherwise if I use it everyday before my makeup I get red spots that are not nice at all.

I have a uu

Liz Earle C&P 30ml - I used this on holiday recently and just finished off the tube at home. Have lots more minis in the stash to use but I do love this and have been buying it off and on since it launched pretty much.
