No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2015

city_girl_258

Hi ladies,
Welcome to June!
3 UU from my shower this morning...good start for the new month.

Eve Lom cleanser sample, got 2 cleanses out of this - have already got the full size pot. Although Dolly you mentioned last month that you'd tried the Eve Lom and it didn't have any exfoliating bits in it. I wondered why but then i've bought the 100ml cleanser and that doesn't have any exfoliating bits in it either?!
The sample sachet i've got does and the 200ml pot does so why not the 100ml?
As far as I can tell they're supposed to be the same so it's a little strange. I like the exfoliating bits so think i'll get the 200ml next time, still like it without though.

Miller Harris Citron shower gel- WNBA- I got mine from TK Maxx so was a good price but at normal price not really worth it.

National Trust woodland body lotion - WNBA - Another TK Maxx purchase, got it for 50p so for that it was brilliant! Nice smell and went a long way but am unlikely to see it again and wouldn't pay full price if I did.

2 of those were on my PP list for May so only a day late ;-)

FizzWhizz glad hubby is on the mend, worrying times with the infection but sounds like he's on the mend. Well done for being nurse...it's not easy!!

VALM sorry to hear about your rabbit...sad times. Hope the one that's left isn't too lonely. Would you get another or is that not possible? I'm no rabbit expert.

Welcome to the newbies as well xx

FizzWhizz, thank you for starting us on a new month, fingers crossed that OH is recovering well.


Dolly84 - thank you for the toothpaste info, must write it into my shopping notebook. I would love a June shopping embargo, but there is a great discount to be had this month on some products that seem to be HGs for my temperamental skin, so I think I will be buying a couple of things.


KT2802 - had a great holiday in Scotland thank you, did masses of travelling (2100 miles), weather extremely mixed, but rain and gales did not spoil anything for us. For the last 10 days, my skin is the best it has been for months, so happy and being careful to try and keep it that way. I have a shed load of products that I have not been using, but atm seem to have sorted a regime of using them providing that I keep them off 2 small areas of my face, and so everything is looking firmer, moist and more refined (I had seemed to have aged years) so am more settled now. You have done so well with your stash
so many things that you have taken off your lists, I need to buckle down and follow your example.

How odd. Mine was definitely just a balm like product.

Hi all
Can I join in please? My target is to use up ten items and not buy anything unless I don't have an alternative in my stash!

Thanks Fizz for starting us off - I'm firmly in again this month!

Welcome Almostthere78, 666 and WeAreGhosts!

Had my first UU of the month today:


1/88. Sanctuary Relax Cocooning Body Butter 100ml - I have another stashed but WDBA - love everything about this.


Will be back later with my PP once I've mulled it over...

I have my first uu albeit a teeny one

Jimmy Choo Flash 2ml - WNB, it's ok but just smells of perfume, very generic scent like so many. All my favourites are very distinctive, I like a scent which is recognisable.

I sorted out my monthly make up basket this morning and am using the following for the whole of June (unless something runs out):

Garnier Oil Free BB Cream
No7 Creme Touch Powder
Body Shop Lip & Cheek Tint
No7 Mineral Blush in Rose mixed with Bare Minerals blush in Vivacious.
S&G Archery
S&G Eye Primer
Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara
Body Shop Liquid Liner - Black
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero
Dior 5 colour palette in Rosy Tan
Benefit Boing Concealer
Garnier 2 in 1 Eye Roll on

For lips I will be mainly using my Clinique Chubby Stick and Revlon lipgloss in Pink Ice.

Hola Beauty Queens :wave: And a big hello to the new faces too!

Drive by post as we are off to the MILs for dinner shortly. DH is looking much better today, not as pasty white and has swapped from co-dydramol to paracetamol so I'm seeing that as positive

June PP List

Estee Lauder Lash Primer
MAC Fix+
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair
TBS Coconut Lip Butter
Superdrug Skin Soft Age Care Body Lotion (rollover)
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Permanent Taupe
L'Oreal Micellar Water
Estee Lauder Doublewear Concealer in 01 Light
Paul Smith Sunshine EDT 100ml
VO5 Hot Oil Treatments (box of 4)

I struggled to cobble these together tbh, a lot of my products are fairly full so I'm not expecting to make great inroads this month.

June Make Up Basket

L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation
L'Oreal True Match Foundation
EL Doublewear Concealer
L'Oreal True Match Concealer
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
No7 Loose Powder
MAC Fix+
L'Oreal GlamBronze
Benefit Coralista Blush
MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle
Maybelline Color Tattoo for brows
Max Factor Excess Shimmer Cream ESs in Bronze and Copper
MUA Undress Me Too ES Palette
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
EL Lash Primer
Max Factor Glamour Extensions Mascara

And a little 4x4 July update

No7 Melting Gel Cleanser
[STRIKE]Hit pan on my Benefit Coralista blush[/STRIKE]
UU my MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
[STRIKE]Hit pan on at least THREE shadows in the MUA palette which I'm trying to UU[/STRIKE]

These are going swimmingly The Blush now has pan showing about the size of a penny, the gel liner is down to the dregs and I have already hit pan on FOUR shadows (with considerable holes in two of those) and dips in another three shadows. I'm still enjoying the palette a lot, I find if I use them alone they're more sheer but putting them over the top of the Max Factor cream shadows really amps up the shimmer. That being said, I DO NOT like the gel cleanser, I've tried it again to remove my makeup (which it purports to do) and it doesn't shift my mascara at all, really disappointing considering the price.

Hope you're all well xx

My first UU of June

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer - really nice product, gives a smooth finish and doesn't make me come out in spots. Have already bought a replacement tube. Just wish the tubes were a bit bigger for the price.
