No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2015...

I have some more uu's. Despite having several the last few days I've still only managed to use one of my PP items.

Davidoff Cool Water Wave Woman 30ml - WNBA, it was nice but not distinctive enough.

Rituals Cool Stick Anti Perspirant - this did a good job and lasted ages. I have replaced it with a Rituals Citrus one.

also a TA

Avon Supershock Mascara - I currently have 14 full sized and 17 mini mascaras so I am being brutal. I tried this out for a week and within a couple of hours it had smudged really, really badly. It is no fun to find out you've had panda eyes and didn't even know it.

Got some UU to report!

Tesco fruity blackberry shower gel 100ml - Wnba I thought the scent was a bit strange, could just be me though. It lathered up ok. It was part of w gift set wouldn't buy for myself as I normally get body shop or full size ones.

Sensodyne gum protection toothpaste - Wnba this was quite watery I thought for the price! I've had better ones from sensodyne. Didn't work as well at stopping my teeth hurting as others in the range have.

Body shop white musk sport roll on deodorant- Wnba think this is actually for men but it came free with some other body shop bits I got. It did the job ok but the scent was clearly aimed at men.

Avon chamomile hair mask - WBA even though this is a small pot for the price I think it does a nice job. Replaced with a tresemme one.

Sanctuary radiance exfoliator - WBA and have another stashed. It did a nice job although I think it could have been "scrubbier" had they put more scrubby bits in it. I like the fragrance of this.

There is a different form of retinonal for acne available on prescription. These have different strengths compared to the one used for wrinkles. Speak to your gp or dermatologist as the better products could be more suitable

Thank you

I hate mascara that does that, but the thing that really winds me up is when I am out with OH and he does not tell me about it, I think that he really just does not notice:eek::eek:

UU
500ml S&G Clean on Me. OK but prefer fresher fragrances
15ml Elizabeth Arden basic toner. WNBA as have 2 HGs now.
2ml Liz Earle Superbalm Concentrate. I now react to something in this.:(

Nails have been A-England Her Rose Adagio for the last few days. A-England King Arthur lined up for late and OPI Catherine the Grape for toes, which must remain hidden until then, they are a disgrace:o:o)

I have decided on my least favourite product and have put it into use this morning, there's probably only a quarter of it left but it seems to go forever.

I did try posting one for you Valm but it was when the site went down on Friday and it didn't get posted. If anyone else wants one I have a Christmasy idea!

What product are you going to UU?

I have a couple more TAs to list:-

Ultrasum 30SPF facial sunscreen. I have had this in for far too long apparently! I started using it on my face last week and at that point the tube was very very light. Was ok at first but then started to smell bad so thought I would use it on MrM's feet in place of the Scholl that I UU. I cut it open to use a bigger amount to use it up however it did not dry properly on his feet and left the skin feeling sticky so TA.

I also repainted my nails the other night using OPI Embarca Dare You, a colour that I'm not overly fond of as it looks like foil. Was going to paint OPI Meep Meep Meep on top (a pink glittery polish) however when I opened this it had gone very gloopy and I could see that a lot of it had been used up already. Decided it was a lost cause and threw it away.

At last I have some uu's to report:

Glamglow Supermud Mask - this stuff does a great job but is totally overpriced for a clay mask, I will stick with Origins mask when I have used up all my current stash.

Liz Earle Eucalyptus & Rosemary Candle - this is an expensive candle and I could tell, mine came as the free gift they do each month. It burnt totally level, no soot and the scent was very strong and purifying. I would love another but wouldn't pay £30+ for it.

thanks for both reviews dolly. I like the sound of glam glow but so many reviews say that it aggrevates sensitive skin. Whilst I don't have sensitive skin I don't want to shell out the price of this if it doesn't suit. What type of skin do you have?

Really like the sound of this LE candle and there's another that has basil in it too that I fancy. Maybe put both these items on a wish list for the Jan sales.

Last time I was in John Lewis the SA who served me had a streak of mascara on her eyelid (as if it had been batted there by her eyelashes). I discreetly told her about it and she gave me such a look that I wished I hadn't bothered. Maybe she was peeved cos none of her colleague had bothered to tell her. I'd rather know that wander around like that.

Anyway, I've practically been skim reading the thread over the weekend and I recall someone nominating me to UU a glitter nail polish. I won't count the Meep Meep Meep above as it was a TA but have kept my bottle of Pirouette my Whistle out to UU. Am going to repaint my nails tonight and am going to wear OPI Espresso Your Style with OPI Press * for Silver on my accent fingers with PMW on top.

I did have a couple of INs at weekend. I had pulled a travel sized conditioner from my stash (I only own 3 x travel sized including this one) and it has only lasted me 2 applications - I have the tiniest bit left. Another poster mentioned Frizz Ease so I have bought the conditioner and mask - both are half price at Sainsburys at the mo ladies.

I have a question for Avon ladies. My daughter Emma loves the No 7 lipliner in Nude shade however they have discontinued it. She bought a Mac one to replace it which doesn't show up on her lips as hte liner texture is a lot harder than the No 7 one. The Nude one by No 7 is described by Lisa Eldridge as Pinky brown and I'm thinking of getting her the Avon Glimmesticks inNude to replace it. Anyone tried this one and have any comments on the colour and texture.

I'm going to UU a benefit foundation that I have, I'm not a fan because of the testing on animals and I find it difficult to gauge how much I need to squirt out of the tube.

WeAreGhosts

Two more UUs from the PP list:

Pantene Youth Protect conditioner - WMBA, didn't mind this, seemed to do the job and no SLS, surprisingly.

Clairol shampoo - a massive blue bottle that I won from somewhere. WNBA though as contains SLS.


PP List looks like this:

[STRIKE]Garnier Intensive 7 days body lotion[/STRIKE]
Dove Straightening Serum
Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser
[STRIKE]Crabtree and Evelyn Tarroco Orange hand cream[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Maybelline Babylips lip balm[/STRIKE]
Hurraw Mint lip balm
Original Source Pineapple shower gel
[STRIKE]Imperial Leather Guava shower gel[/STRIKE]
Leo Bancroft shine spray
[STRIKE]Pantene Youth Protect conditioner[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Clairol shampoo[/STRIKE]

Need to have another clear out before Christmas. Maybe GA some things I know I won't use ...

Some UUs for me:

3 x samples.

COLAB Sheer Invisible Monaco Dry Shampoo 50ml: No matter how much I shook this or held it at a distance, it still caused grey patched on my hair which is disappointing as the normal version is my HG. WNB this version again.

Next Eau Nude 30ml: Love the smell of this but it doesn't have a lot of staying power. WMBA.

Hope everyone is well!
