No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2015...

VALM - sorry for not explaining very well:(, as far as I know the compacts are the same, but when they added spf to the product the shades changed and as I live in the sticks I have never managed to get re-colour matched and thus not been able to buy any more.

I am liking Lily Lolo and the Youngblood, but they are messy to use and I would love to transfer one to the SB compact (summer shade for me and lasting ages).

Well done on the Ciate, I saw some really nice little Mavala 2 packs in town, but so far have resisted too.:D

Afternoon all

Have just caught up with the thread and well done to everyone with all the UUs.

Been a couple of weeks since my last update so managed to finish a few things. :j

My UUs since last update

Boots extra firm hold hairspray 450ml - wba, not a bad hairspray for the money and does the job
Boots natural hold hairspray 450ml - wba, not a bad hairspray for the money and does the job
Boots oval cosmetic pads 50pads - wba, I like these as they are slightly larger but does seems a shame throwing them away. May look at alternatives.
Sure linen dry ultra dry anti perspirant roll on - wmba, does quite a good job but I've found my favourite again will most probably stick with that one
Angel edt sample - wmba, quite liked this scent
Elemis pro-rafiance cream cleanser 200ml - wdba, will be asking for this again next month. I like the scent and does a good job
Mitchum 48hr anti-perspirant & deodorant in pure fresh - wnba, the scent was nice but I didn't feel like it did a good job on me
Listerine sensitive mouthwash - wmba, at times this didn't help with sensitivity. Will check out a few other brands.

Take care all and keep warm

UU an Avon anew body lotion sachet sample this morning at work. This is quite old but I got it in a little packet with several other of these sachets. They came with something I ordered. It's a fresh scent but not really me, I prefer sweeter scents such as vanilla or cocoa unless it's the middle of summer (and them I prefer the spray on stuff as its cooling). Wnba therefore. It did absorb well though.

Do you have a bath? I was advised to add a few drops of lavender essential oil to my bath water when going through and incredibly stressful time - it did help.

I rarely have time for full bath but I sometimes drop lavender oil on a tissue and smell it

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! .

I usually tell myself that there will be always some deal or sale in the future and none of the products I die to buy is hard to find. With so many sales, deals through the year and ability to purchase online from Ebay etc, I think everything becomes less desirable!

hello everyone!

UU
Bare minerals - chic radiance mini pot - these radiance powders are my HG, got another pot to start now from my TK Maxx bargain sets that i found
Benefit - they're real pen - WNBA not cruelty free and this is the worst eyeliner ever. the packaging is awful, you either get nothing or too much and no in between and its so long lasting i don't own a remover strong enough to get it off without needing to attack my face and scrub it raw.
Vera Wang -Lovestruck perfume WMBA but i don't think its cruelty free.
Dove shampoo - WNBA as it has SLS in

I nominate you to use up a favourite body lotion/ butter by Christmas.

I've just started a full size elemis one so this will spur me on to get it used! the last one i had seemed to go on forever!!

Ooo what did you get? I really want to sign up but I'm trying to be MSE and UU what I have first and keep my pennies. But I reeeeeaaalllyyyy want it!

i got a concealer brush, handbag mirror, hand cream, travel size shampoo and a tub of coconut oil that i'm trying to find out if its food grade or not. i cook with it anyway and as its expensive to buy and i'd rather eat it than use it as a moisturiser! :rotfl:

there was also a lip gloss that now I've tried it its a bit too pink and glittery for me so its now being an xmas pressie.

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:(

if you've got loose powder going everywhere, i got a susan posnick foundation ages ago from beauty bible testing. the all in one pot and brush thing it comes in is refillable and you can unscrew the little pot that holds the foundation, refill it with whatever powder you want and keep using it. it doesn't leak at all as well and it dispenses just enough foundation too. i think its expensive to buy though. i tried the bare minerals equivalent and its awful and leaks all over the place so i gave up with it!

the new bare minerals pots that the blemish remedy foundation is in is even worse than the old pots too. mess everywhere! i don't know how they can say its an improvement to the old ones as they were so much better.

I bow down to your greatness lol. I don't think I could use up a tin of Vaseline lip therapy if I tried. I do keep reapplying the EOS one at night though whilst watching telly.



Thanks for the feedback re: Glamglow and Avon. Maybe I'll look out of Glamglow on the sales as I have a similar skin type to you. Am hopeful that the Glimmerstick is ok when it arrives.

VALM I think its taken me at least 6 months if not longer:eek: My latest lip product only lasted the week although I quite liked the cute gold duck packaging:)

A few UU:
Vanilla duck lip gloss
Timotei Vivid Colour shampoo
BS Cocoa butter shower cream really didnt like this, smelt a bit odd

Oh my god it's freezing! My drivers door refused to open this morning at work (been on s night) and so I had to climb through the passenger side to get my car started! I wonder what my colleagues thought, must have been a right sight!!

Anyway, 2 UU.

UU another Avon anew body lotion sachet this morning. Wnba.

Also UU Clean & clear advantage oil control cream face wash 5 ml sample - WBA this little sample did me 3 uses and I would buy it again when I run out of face stuff. Intend on getting full size product at some point. I liked the fact it felt like a gentle scrub, I didn't like the white all over my hands ( it's like a milk) but I intend on using it in the shower if I buy the full size so won't matter so much. made my face feel nice. Soft and not greasy afterwards.

Afternoon Ladies,

Yet another slow month of UUs in the Fiasco household.

-Tigi Superstar Shampoo 1lt. LHJ but I have enjoyed using it. I think it is discontinued now. I only use SLS free shampoo nowdays.

-Armani Code body wash. Got this as part of a fragrance set last Christmas. Did the job with a nice smell.

Other than that there is nothing doing.

Been a bit absent recently but still counting my INs and outs.
It has not been going well! Lots of INs but plenty of UUs too. Also had another clearout and either ta or ga a fair bit so managed to end up down 8 since my last post.
Notable INs have been Trichomania solid shampoo from Lush. Only used it twice but really like it so far. Also from Lush the butter bear bath bomb,rose jam shower gel and 9 to 5 cleanser. That's not all I've bought in there recently as I've been on a bit of a binge but really liking all of those. Will definitely get another butterbear or two when I go in next for Christmas shopping.
As for the UUs,I finished my Gosh cc cream foundation and its been discontinued! Quite annoyed as really liked it but have bought the Foundation Drops to try as its supposed to be similar. It's about £5 more though! Also uu a Sheridan Amber Noir candle. Wdba, really like it, but have others to get through first.
Hope everyone's had a good weekend!
