No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2015...

Sundaysgirl

UU:

7/155. H2O+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment 50ml - this came in the M&S beauty box last year and I think it has since been discon so couldn't buy again even if I wanted to. It was fine, non-greasy so great for my combination skin, but didn't really feel moisturising enough - probably due to it being a gel.


I was using this as a night cream and have a couple of minis to use before I need to think about replacing.

Sebestian

There are many such products which are worth spending on.

Biotta Beetroot Juice 500ml
Biotta Welness Juice 500ml
Twinings Earl Grey Tea 50g

Hello ladies,
A bit of movement on the UU/TA/IN front.

UU:
Boots extracts strawberry shower gel 50ml
Bee kind shampoo 30ml
Bee kind shower gel 30ml
La Roche Posey efflacar duo + 3ml sample
Nivea in shower moisturiser cocoa butter sample sachet
L'oreal volume filler shampoo sample sachet
L'oreal volume filler conditioner sample sachet
Dr organic olive oil day cream sample sachet
Benefit eye cream mini sample 5ml (I think)

TA:
Bodylishuss cranberry body butter 50ml. I had a look through all my unopened stash and found this to be very light feeling, I opened it and it had gone rock hard.

INs:
L'occitane bonne mere soap 100g
Clinique moisture surge sample pot 15ml
Burberry fragrance sample vial.
All lovely gifts from DH.
2x La Roche Posey efflacar duo+ 3ml samples. I'm not 100% comfortable with this as I know it is a l'oreal company, but I'd like to give this a decent shot as I think I am seeing a difference in my redness/scarring/spots.
2x Superdrug morello dry shampoo. I haven't bought dry shampoo in years, I thought it might be handy and it was but one get one free.
Avon skin so soft argan oil body wash 250ml. A car boot sale bargain!

Phew I think that's everything!

VALM, thank you for the pink product challenge! This is right up my street as I have loads of pink coloured products. I was toying with the idea of make up, lip product or S&G giant tub of BB, but I have settled on a L'occtane spring cherry SG and lotion duo.

Another UU this morning : Liccitane Verbena liquid soap. Have refill,ed this with Eco pouch. Is the last refill in my stash. HG product. Will repurchase when it's gone.

Repainted my nails last night and am wearing OPI Red Lights a head, where? With Pirouette my whistle on my accent nails. Can't remember if I've worn the red colour before but it's actually a coral colour. Is an exact dupe of Leighton Deby I Love Juicy. X

Carolyn - finding something that isn't part of L'oreal is a challenge they seem to own everything.

I repainted my nails last night using a mini bottle of OPI The Colour of Minnie, I used it on its own on my fingers and with a silver confetti glitter on top on my toes.

I have a flurry of uu's

Philosophy Cranberry Medley Body Lotion 50ml - I could cry. This is gorgeous, the smell is amazing and it feels so lovely to apply.

Philosophy Vanilla Cake Mix Shower Gel 100ml - this smelt amazing, tons of creamy bubbles and it was fantastic as shampoo too.

Philosophy Candied Pecan Body Scrub - this is a salt scrub, it is very effective and smelt divine.

These came from a Fruitcake Mix set, I bought two of them in a half price sale and they have both gone, WDBA though.

Elemis PCMC 15ml - have replaced it with a 30ml pot. It's OK but not moisturising enough for me really.

Morning all. Looks like you are becoming Philosophy Superfan dolly. I do love these shower gels too and also think they are great shampoos.

Have both talked myself into and back out of the Laura Geller TSV. At first I justified ordering it as I'm on my last pot of BnB! However given that this stuff lasts ages and I haven't hit pan on my pot it's not the best reason. I also justified it by applying the old QVC logic that I'm only paying £9.99 now for all those full sized products. At the moment though I don't want to spend any money on myself. MRM's birthday is coming up and Xmas of course. So I then decided against it as I don't need another highlighter, mascara, lipstick, liner, gloss or eyeshadow. True, I'm not happy with the eyebrow product I have at the mo but really is it worth paying £40. For this? I really don't rate her mascara or lipsticks either!

I did order some items yesterday from feel unique though : an Elemis kit for MRM and a concealer for Emma as they had 20% off between 1 and 2 yesterday.

Thanks Val:A, I had been wavering on this, I wondered about trying the new Balance 'N Glow, but I really don't need the other stuff, and if I need a little boost it is much nicer to choose a lippie or eyeshadow in the flesh:D: also I have been thinking about buying a Youngblood Mineral Powder foundation which I know suits me and doesn't make me itch.

I just wish that the powders were not so messy to use, my bathroom always seems to be covered in a film of the stuff:( I wish that I could get hold of an empty Smashbox "clock" compact, I understand that you can take them apart and fill with product of choice and tape back together, mine does not seem to want to be empty (they changed the shades when they added SpF ages ago and I cannot get anywhere to be colour matched, only seemed to have found counters with a complete lack of sale staff when I have happened upon one on holiday:(

Hello

Just been for a nice snowy walk!

Dr Perricone no foundation foundation. I love this, but have now used up all my samples so will have to consider whether to actually pay for it, it is pricey.
Molton Brown Orange and Bergamot shower gel WBA but I think my fave one is gingerlily
Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion WBA but see above

I also meant to say that I read some reviews on QVC US of the kit and a few people complained about it being glittery. I Must admit that I've never looked at Smashbix Halo but am surprised that they changed the packaging. Thought that was part of its selling point.

Have been out shopping and popped into TKMAXX. They had loads of the Ciate advent calendars reduced from £60 to £15. Not sure if it's this years as it had a red cover. Also saw another with a wintry scene on cover that was £24.99. Was v good and resisted both. I must be coming down with something!

It hasn't snowed here in Manchester yet but it's bitterly cold. Invested in a bobble hat while shopping.
