No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2015

And - I bet no one else has Lego shaped body lotion bars:rotfl:. You are right about the profit margins and that probably applies to the whole beauty industry.

Welcome Dizzy Imp.

seasidedreamer - of course it was your cupboard that was heavy:rotfl:.

I repainted my nails last night with Nails Inc Alexa Cashmere Pink, I don't like textured finishes but do like the colour.

Another uu

Ren Clear Calm 3 Clarifying Clay Cleanser 150ml - I do like this, it is very gentle but when my skin is breaking out I don't find it does anything to clear it up.

evilsquid1603

im in again!
had a few major NPI in the boots xmas sets but stuck to my guns as none of them were cruelty free brands aside from Liz Earle and her monthly offer is still better value then the xmas sets are!

UU
Espa pro serum mini bottle - new HG, i genuinely think this is better then the LE superman oil!
Bobbi Brown - travel size hydrating face cream, nice but WNBA
Yoah lip balm - got this in a vegan kind box, WMBA, it was nice but the coconut got a bit too much after a bit!
Ren - flash facial mini tube - WBA, i found i used this more than my other masks as a quick few mins and you are done without having to sit there for 20 mins with it on.

INs
charlotte tilbury mini miracle wand. im in need of a cruelty free concealer as both my HG aren't cruelty free so i thought id give this a go. i am impressed so far but its more for everyday use rather then proper heavy duty like my HG bobbi brown corrector is.

I also got the REN set with instyle too.

Evening all,
Thanks for the new thread dolly!
Been on holiday and not posted as much in September so, since last post, had 13 outs including some minis while I was away. Also had 8 ins, some of which were straight replacements and some of which were because I forgot to pack foundation and conditioner for my holiday because I'm clever like that. Some were free samples too. September total down to 454 from 468 at end of August so still heading in the right direction (for now...)

As for October!

OUT
1/118. UU La Roche Posay Hydreane Riche Moisturiser. WBA. Use this as a night cream and does a good job, doesn't aggravate my skin.
2/119. UU Molton Brown Body Wash mini in pink pepperpod. Wouldn't buy this scent full size but happy to use again if it came in a gift set.
3/120. TA Garnier scrub. Have been made aware of plastic micro beads in scrubs and feel uncomfortable about it. Not thrilled about this ending up in landfill but suppose it's marginally better than the plastic ending up in the sea and causing problems for fish etc. Will definitely check if any scrubs contain plastic/synthetic materials before I buy now especially as I found an app for it!

IN
1-4/77-80. Magazine freebies. Ren set and L'occitane hand cream. Got the Vanilla one. Makes me want to eat my own hands it smells so nice.
5/81. Northumberland Candleworks Sandalwood candle. Bought on holiday in... you guessed it, Northumberland!

This month is not going to be great overall. I've got YBD and Pink Parcels coming. I also really want a beauty advent calendar. I'm thinking maybe L'occitane or No7. They all seem to be being released in October so that might happen. I have enough money saved from potting £1 for each of my UUs though!

Good luck to everyone this month!

First UU of the month - Aldi Carino Coconut Shampoo 400ml. Has lasted for ages, not because it's rubbish but because I kept getting freebies to review, samples in magazines and gifts of shampoo. If I had to use just one shampoo for the rest of my life, it would be this one, actually and the same for the conditioner. The replacement is already in place.
For anyone who wants to try it the shampoo and conditioner have just been reduced to a ridiculous 55p for 400ml.

Is this just a general shampoo or is it specifically for volume/coloured hair/etc? And does it lather nicely? I have long thick hair so wondering if it'll be any good. You always rave about it though so I'm quite tempted to just give it a go anyway... our nearest Aldi is a little drive but I'm sure I'll be passing soon.

I have a couple of uu's

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift & Firm Day Cream 30ml, this was a GWP and lasted forever, it has SPF 30 which is very good but it makes my face so greasy it takes a good matte foundation to tone it down. WNBA.

Revlon Lip Butter Berry Smoothie - this was a really nice colour and looked lovely on. My only issue is these lip butters are so soft and I could feel it bending and then when there was just a bit left it broke and got really messy.

Hi ladies - last post from me before my holiday!

UU:

Boots Fruit &Sweet Amber Body Spray 75ml: HG - WDBA.

IN:

L'Occitane Pivoine Sublime Moisturiser 8ml: L'Occitane are giving away small samples of their facial moisturisers - I have posted a link to get the voucher over one the Freebies (No Spend Required) board if anyone would like one. I don't really buy much from there as it's quite expensive for me but they do give away lots of samples throughout the year!


Deleted_User - Glad to hear that you're looking into plastic microbeads! Such an unnecessary ingredient to scrubs that can cause so much damage! I only use the natural scrubs now and feel much better for it!

See you all at the end of the month!

Hello - first post since joining this thread from me...

TA 75mls Kiko purifying face scrub. It had been opened but not finished and had started to go manky in the lid, so I binned it. Can't remember if I liked it, but as it wasn't used much, I doubt it.

I've also sorted through my SS's stash and have found yet more shampoo and shower gels that we can use up. He also had two unopened gift packs (Lynx and Adidas) which I have reallocated to my Christmas pressie box for teenage boys

dolly84

I have another uu

Philosophy Summer Grace EDT 100ml - gorgeous and I am going to miss it but it had been on the go for a while and needed using up. I still have the matching 3 in 1 shower gel, bubble bath, shampoo which I am using for all 3 things.
