No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2015

VALM - whenever I see anyone use the Mary Louminizer on Youtube it looks very pretty, I want one for myself but have so many highlighters I just can't justify it.

I repainted my nails last night with Essie Shearling Darling with my ring fingers in Essie Toggle to the Top.

For the last 3 years I have bought the S&G offer of the week but I'm not bothering this year, I still have loads left from the last one and I don't want anymore mascara or lipgloss. It looks good value as always though. Has anyone else got one?

Can't say I've seen it demoed. I too can't justify buying another highlighter for myself.

Need to repainted my nails later too. Most of mine flaked off last night as I applied OPI Glitter Off under my colour.

I too am not bothering. Still have most f last years in stash I think. Those huge bottles last so long. Not a fan of Hand Food or the lip gloss either.

Morning all
Managed to UU a small bottle of perfume that's 2 gone recently. So pleased I'm making headway into my stash of those.
Had to steer Dh away from the soP and glory bag in boots this morning. It looked very and is a bargain but I just don't need it.

Testing a lovely eyeshadow at the mo, it's a reLly nice bronze shimmer one, I enjoying wearing it as my usual brown was getting very low.

Just ordered through perfume parlour for the girls and their bf's Christmas stockings - Million, Lady Million, Alien, and DKNY Be Delicious, as well as Warm Vanilla Sugar by B&BH to make up the minimum order for free postage. Just about managed to resist ordering more for myself or hubby. He has 3 in the Burberry line to use up, and I have more than I care to confess. I tested the Warm Vanilla Sugar, reminds me of a solid perfume called 'amber' my daughter brought back from a trip to Morocco, warm and sweet, but not sickly so - perfect for this time of year.

UU's
SKIN organic massage oil - WBA, but it was from a tiny health food shop in rural Ireland so doubt I will come across it here - used as an after bath moisturizer.

Garnier Intense Care for body, hand and face - WBA. This was excellent, really rich. My hands get very dry especially this time of year and need something a bit more than standard hand cream, only down side is it comes in a little screw on tub, not as convenient as a squeezy tube, though I suppose because its thicker has to be that way.

TA
Lypsyl swedish beeswax lipbalm. Actually very effective, but came apart in the lid, and it had a really odd smell 'honeyberry' I really didn't like. I was actually glad in the end I had an excuse to toss it!

My PP list didn't go to well last couple of months, so this month I think I will just list things as I UU/GA/TA. I've asked friends and family not to give me any potions or lotions this year, and with 4 daughters, mum and SIL apart from the perfume I am not buying them any either. We shared our Christmas wish lists with each other and realised by now we all still have masses to work through and would rather receive actual needs or experiences as gifts.

Elemis Eau de Parfum 28ml - this is really lovely WBA.

I love shimmery bronze eye shadows. You should check out the Smashbox RFill Exposure palette which has some gorgeous shimmers in it. It's a few year old now so not sure if it is still available.

I have decided to treat Emma to the UD Gwen Stefani palette tomorrow. Am going to Trafford Centre to get it.

2 UUs today:-

Sachet of L'Occitane precious cream. V nice. I know MRM has ordered me a kit from QVC of try me sizes f four different L'Occitane face creams and I'm looking forward to trying them.

150mlLTD ED LE C&P the mint and pink pepper pod one. Should not have got sucked into the hype. Smelt like men's aftershave. Still effective though.
