No More Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Until...August 2015

Well, talk about from one extreme to the other...
UU Aldi Carino Coconut Conditioner 400ml 65p . WIBA? Already have, it is fantastic stuff. It very closely resembles the conditioner you get in with boxes of hair dye, very thick and rich.
NBI enroute from the usual review source:
Murad Resurgence Age-Balancing Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF30 50 ml
Which, coincidentally is almost 100x as expensive, at £64.
How the other half live, hey?
Will be nice to see if this is any better than my Aldi Lacura Q10.

Thanks for the recommendation ladies. My daughter Emma actually has Browzings and has done my brows with it before but I think I remember it being too dark. I like the taupe shade in Smashbox Brow Tech.

Which colour did you try? I'm blonde and have to stick with the lightest (I have very light brows too) and find it's great - I often just use the wax (which is coloured) for just a slight emphasis and tidy, then add powder if i want something more dramatic for a night out.

I've not found anything else light enough for me (unless they come with clear/white wax, which I find useless), as I don't like/want really dark dramatic brows.

Just sell them

It's the cheeky sweet shop set which I know is popular but I have opened it so don't think I can?

I have an IN to announce from my last holiday.
Yves Rocher monoi de tahiti oil. It's my favourite and I always pick some up on holiday.

A UU and a TA to declare
Used a lush bathbomb last night, not sure what it was part lemon part pale brown, didn't bubble but softened the water (did make the bath water a really dodgy yellow/brown colour)
Threw away a pot of champneys body butter that had gone off, it made me feel sticky and yucky after I used it and it smelt slightly plasticine like.

The Aldi conditioner sounds really good especially at that price. I love Lidl shampoo and conditioner but they don't always have it and their range is a bit hit and miss (for example the shampoos and conditioners don't match.)

The idea of my beloved products going off before I use them is what's starting to put me off buying more.

Hi everyone,
More uu to report

Soap and glory daily smooth body butter. This was gorgeous, smelt amazing and my skin felt like a baby's.
Baylis and Harding lavender body wash (finally!) I did like it but it was a bit 'old lady' smelling. Great value for money though as their products always are

Ins are impulse body sprays, mine almost finished and was 2 for £3. I use it daily so was necessary.
Baylis and Harding almond and jojoba body wash. Not new to my stash, had it for a year. New to my PP list! If I listed everything I own the list would be very long. I like to be realistic and add what I think I will get through.
Also I forgot to add to my original PP list Dettol revitalising hand wash, raspberry and pomegranate
And creightons wild fig hand wash.
Have a lovely weekend x

Just TA a Maybelline Fit Foundation - this must be in the stash for about 3-4 years now and I used it twice before and it didn't agree with my skin at all.

Also TA a flat foundation brush.

St Ives Facial scrub is really good - also can be used everyday!
I'm trying to UU Ritual Shower Gel but it has such a bad bottle design. When your hands wet as it would be in shower, it is difficult to bring product out!
Most of my PP list is close to be UU'ed apart from Body Shop Vitamin-E facial wash so I will carry them over to September as I'm not sure how much left in them.
UU'ed a little Vanilla Cupcake Yankee candle and replaced with a Vanilla-Lime one.

Hi everyone,
Got some more OUTs!
22/62. UU Crabtree & Evelyn Pomegranate hand cream. Like these C&E hand creams but this was not my favourite scent.
23/63. TA Collection eyeshadow stick. Broke while sharpening then entire inside fell out.
24/64. TA M&S Autograph eyeshadow stick. Just rubbish compared with Rimmel and Bourjois ones.
25/65. UU Balance Me Cleanse & Smooth Face Balm 30ml from a beauty box. WNB. Too greasy, horrible smell. My face didn't feel clean after using.
26/66. GA Couvent des Minimes Rose & Berries hand cream. This had a really strong smell like old pot pourri and it didn't fade until I washed my hands so I passed this on to a friend who had a stronger nose than me! Got this from a beauty box, WNB in this scent.
27/67. TA Maybelline Dream Nude Foundation. This had separated and I couldn't get it back to normal. It also, despite being the lightest shade, goes orange when I use it so WNBA.
28/68. UU Lush Ultrabland Cleanser. This is good in the sense that it doesn't aggravate my skin but I feel like it leaves a film on my skin and I have to do a second cleanse with something else so WNBA.
29/69. Nuxe Nuxellence Detox Serum, 15ml sample tube. Really like this but full size is almost £50 and I don't know if I like it 50 quid's worth.

Couple of INs too.
18-19/44-45. 2 x Primark Candles which were reduced to £1 each.
20/46. 17 Brow Pencil. My last Rimmel brow pencil has run out so I've bought this to stand in wait. The Rimmel ones are fine but I prefer the texture of the 17.
Original stash total 511, end of July 480, current 471.

That's it for now! Have a great weekend everyone!
