No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2016

Gemzie121

Some UU to report:

Coconut & strawberry handmade cake soap slice- WBA if I knew where I bought this. It just says handmade on it. It was nice lathered up well and I liked the scent. Replaced it with dove Shea bar.

Apple & cinnamon bath fizzer- WBA if I knew where this was from originally! It was the 2nd of these. Lovely scent.

Apple & cinnamon bath salts- WBA these were from same set as the bath fizzers. Lovely scent and there was pretty glitter in it. I liked that the water looked sparkly but the glitter didn't stick to me.

Avon Mr frosty spiced apple bubble bath 250ml- Wmba I liked the scent but the bottle was so awkward because there was only a small hole for it to come out of you had to squeeze the bottle really hard and my grip in my hands isn't that great. I may re purchase for the scent and the fact it made lots of nice bubbles though.

CongratuLtions eyebright.

INS
From bomb cosmetics
14 bath melts
1 bottle of hair conditioner
30 leader sheet masks (love them and they were on offer that I could not resist)

UU's
29) Olive branch shower gel wNBA okay but not a favourite.

30) Butter bear bath ballistic WBA got them in the sale in a tin. Smells of vanilla, it contains chunks of cocoa butter but I don't find it moisturises my skin but stick to the bath.

31) The magic of Christmas reusable wand WBA really like the scent of this, find it works really well with so white and cinders. The only problem is that the reusable bubble bars tend to fall off the stick and the bubbles don't last long in the bath.

32) Leaders sheet mask HG such a lovely hydrating mask, perfect fit. WBA

33) Nature republic sheet mask WNBA leaves a sticky residue, but fit well and feel hydrating.

34) Secret nature moringa seed toner WMBA if I ever found it again, it was quite thick in texture and was hydrating.

35) lemon and verbena hand cream WNBA nice enough, not stick absorbed quickly but after 10 minutes you needed to apply it again as my hands felt dry.

36) Batiste original 400ml WBA these work well but don't seem to last very long.

37) Rough with the smooth sugar scrub WNBA bought at half price, nice enough but I prefer other sugar scrubs.

38) Mother superior bubble bar WNBA this was a Easter lush product scented like Sakura or rub, rub, rub and I really dislike the scent. I have another which I will pass onto my sister.

39) La Roche posey redermic R sample 5 ml WNBA does not smell pleasant and I have other retinal products to use and ones I would like to try.

40) IOPE moistgem essential serum WMBA nice enough, this was a sample size which I bought as a set to try the brand, I bought it a while ago and have bought full sizes of other products from this company.

Yog nog bath bomb WMBA I like the scent and how soft it makes the bath water.

42) Star dust bath bomb WNBA small and okay, quite a quick fizzes and leaves annoying stars all over the bath which unfortunately you do not see until you empty it.

Heavenilli massage bar WNBA I went off massage bars a while ago, this is a very old one which had partially lost it scent. Nice enough, I cheated s little and used my electric wax melt to melt this to make it easier to use.

44) Tony moly Apple hand cream WBA came in. Very cute red apple shaped container. Product smelt of apples ( surprisingly) and absorbed quickly and was quite moisturising, not as good as neutrogena but I would buy again.

45) Sure maximum protection WBA I like it, it is very effective and I dries quickly.

46) Glam glow youthmud 15ml WNBA I like this last year but found my skin seems react to it. My face feels warm and uncomfortably tingly. Have one more so will pass this on to sister.

47) Dolly's shower gel in peach something or other WNBA I liked this and used it as liquid hand soap but I prefer solid soap I really do not need to buy any soap till 2017.

48) Penguin bubble bar WNBA picked these up in a job lot of eBay (£15 for 10 items including postage) items were older items. This shares it scent with pop in the bath bubble bar and olive branch, not a great fan of the scent but it okay and makes a cheap lush bubble bath.

49) Blue skies and fluffy white clouds bubble bar WBA favourite scent still after so many years of buying, these were from last years Boxing Day sale. Still have a couple left from last year and one from this.

10 sheet mask by my beauty diary, I love one of their masks but found that these were too small for my face and my sister has a much smaller face so they would suit her more.

Mother superior bubble bar

Rough with the smooth sugar scrub

Sun screen SPF 50 which I am swapping for a SPF 50 BB cream

Yummy mummy body conditioner, have one from last year that I am struggling to use. I prefer baths to showers and am not a great fan of the scent. This was a extra in a swap on a forum in the summer.

So here I am, over 5 years later joining back as stash gone mad. Been restarting stopping buying late 2015 and drilled through my posts to find this challenge that I recalled I used to follow..... 5 years ago.

I haven't had time to stock check but things gone mad: moisturiser (body creams, face cream, night cream, serum), scrubbers, lipsticks (how many shades of red), etc etc

So I am stopping to buy unless I have used every possible brands that I own for a specific product type.

WeAreGhosts

Two pitifully small UUs

Calvin Klein Forbidden Euphoria perfume sample - WMB, I like fruity, floral scents and it was quite light but lasted quite a while on the skin.

Garnier Intensive Hydrating body lotion sample - have quite a few of these to UU!

My PP list is not going well this month, will have to concentrate on it more in the next few weeks.

I just resisted a Bomb Cosmetics order. I got right to the checkout and cancelled it because I really shouldn't be buying more stuff. I only ended up on their website because I was watching a haul video on YouTube (I think I'm addicted to haul videos and empties videos ... Primark/Lush/Bomb/homeware stuff ... you name it I'll watch it ... as long as the vlogger is not annoying)

Is it good for more natural looking girls? I love Dita so I was looking at it on Amazon, but didn't buy as I was worried it would be aimed at women who like really full-on make-up like hers. I don't want a book about how to do red lips and heavy black eyeliner!

It has those tutorials in it but it has skincare and body care ones in it too. The make up and hair ones are pretty much just how she does make up but that's exactly how I like to do going out make up. It's a good read though as it's got her story in and lots of other random snippets.

Couple ofUU for me this week

No7 lip laquer in hot chilli I really liked this but have tonnes of lipsticks/glosses to use up so will buy it again if it is still around by the time I finish the others. Happy with this UU as it's one of my PP for spring and also a PP for January - yeh:j

Radox shower gel mango (can't recall the proper name) WBA has a really refreshing smell and I like the lather with it. Have a couple of shower gels to use up and some others I would like to try before purchasing this again.

Right off to town to get some shopping and try to resist beauty buys!!

Well done on finishing one of your 6 by 6. I have this product and love it too. I also love the Avon version of these.

I started applying the Cargo blush as an eyeshadow in my crease last night. It looked really nice. Am desperate to finish this now. We went out for a meal to Prezzo last night. Buy a Gift have a fab deal at the mo £24. For 3 course meal and glass of house wine for 2. Was a set menu but still plenty of choice and regular sized portions was lovely evening.

Welcome back. Wow that link was a real blast from the past! There's a post from me further down the page talking about buying the Smashbox lipgloss set that I'm now trying to finish off. I did think they were 5 years old. Am surprised they have not gone off.

I've got one more use up to post
4. Clinique all about eyes eye cream. I used to love this stuff but I don't find it as effective on my skin now plus I've got a couple of different eye creams stashed away so I'm going to try those!

Most importantly, I went into town yesterday and ended up browsing in Boots. I got as far as trying some lipsticks on the back of my hand but stopped myself from actually buying them so I'm very pleased with myself!

DreamyP

One use up for me today too

8.Maybelline anti shine foundation stick. Love this wba. Really quick and easy to use in the morning. I'm not scraping the bit in the plastic at the bottom because I find it very messy even when I try with lipsticks.

Hi everyone,

Ohhhhh!!! I also forgot my exciting news I wanted to share with everyone :eek::eek:

You know I won the Tata Harper stuff in a Caroline Hiron's giveaway at Xmas? Well there was obviously a mix up at Tata Harper, because yesterday I received the prizes again, and the person who had packed up the prize this time also threw in a Boosted Eye Contouring Mask :eek::eek:
I nearly fainted with delight, but then I felt guilty and emailed the company to tell them they had sent me my prize twice. They were lovely and replied saying that I could keep it!!!!!! It's too much stuff for me to UU however, so I am going to split the 4 cleansers between my SIL and friends. I'm keeping the eye mask though, so that's an IN for me. What a lovely company. I'm so excited to finally try one of them when my current cleanser is UU :D

Hi, have you seen today's post by CH about Tata Products?

I have the rejuvenating serum from my purchase of the Cult Beauty Box, I am going to sort out and use some of my older serums before I try this, or any of the box really, need to get planning what is next:D
