No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2015
Comments

Thanks for the new thread, Babafette!
OK, so I have 2 new UUs:
Creighton's Brilliantly Blonde conditioner
Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Refining Moisture Cream Complex
WIBA? The conditioner is my current HG product. The moisturiser is from my mum's collection of hand-me-down products and not really for my skin type as it's a bit rich, but it was OK as a night cream.
Take care and see you all soon. xxxPlease call me 'Pickle'

UU
• Avocado oil – WBA, use for oil cleansing
• Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque – WBA, very good basic face mask
• La Roche Posay Ultra-light sunscreen – WNBA, too greasy for me
• Nivea Lip Butter Raspberry Rose – WBA, love this stuff, although I do prefer the vanilla scent I think
• Sierra Bees Vanilla Lip Balm – WB, got free with an order off iherb, but I did like it so would probably pick it again if ordering from them again.
And some Ins
• Hada Labi Gokujyun super hyaluronic acid lotion – love this stuff, really helps when my skin feels dry
• Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50 x 2 – to replace the La Roche Posay, used this many times and think I should just stick to it as it works and doesn't make my face greasy at all
• CCS foot cream – time to pamper those tootsies!No more goo hoarding!

Okay so I have some throw aways to report
1. Primark Loveable Luxuries Lipstick- Tried using it for 6 months or so and I still cant get used to the plastic feel or smell.
2. Beauty UK Posh Pout Sugar Plum Fairy (lip balm). Cant stand the smell or colour. I would rather use Nivea lip balm.
3. Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Laquer (Hot Pink Shade). This doesnt seem to dry and the smell is awful (notice a pattern with all these products and their 'smell'
4. Loreal Paris Elvital Spray (Arginn Resist) People rave about this spray but it makes my hair crunchy so I'm getting rid of it.
5. Loreal Volume collagen Spray (same reason as number 4).0 -

I have a couple of UUs:
8/136. Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter Body Wash 75ml - gifted as part of a set and WBA - smells good and lathers well.
I've reached a bit of a milestone - I now have just three small shower gels stashed - one is in use and I'm saving the rest for a couple of upcoming overnighters, the other two are Molton Browns. So I had to decant some of my daily shower gel into a small bottle for my gym bag. Progress indeed as I used to have a cupboard full of minis!
9/137. L'Occitane Delightful Rose Hand Cream 10ml - freebie and WNB, it sinks in well and is non-greasy, but if I were to splurge on hand cream it would probably be for Kiehl's. Plenty of other hand creams left to use first anyway.MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
