No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2016

  • UU's:
    Lush - Holly go lightly bubble bar - wnba
    Lush - blueberry face mask - wba
    Lush - Calacus shower gel - wdba
    2x perfume samples

    Put together a basket of 20 beauty products for a friend who's moving to her new house, so that will leave the house this weekend

    Ok so I finally decided, I will always wear nail polish so I can go through my crazy collection and also I will reach for my perfume samples first so I can go through them. I have about 280 or so last time I counted.

    Don't feel bad I have 240.

    Wow!! That's impressive! I think my love of them is due to a love of colour. Nail varnish is the most wearable rainbow of the cosmetic world. Choice does feel nice. :o

  • Can I ask a really silly question about bath bombs ... Do you use the whole Lush (for example) bath bomb in just one bath?

    I do. I use part of a bubble bar though not the whole thing. When I was a student I used to split bath bombs in half but now I just have a really special bath when it's bath bomb time!

  • One UU today:

    H&M split ends repair conditioning hair mask sachet- WBA but have more in stash. This had a lovely scent that lingered in my hair. Not sure if it's done an awful lot for my hair but these are convenient little sachets and it does smell wonderful (like grapefruits). It was a little more watery than another H&M mask I've used but you do get a decent amount in the sachet.

    MUA blush in shade 1. WNBA, bought it when I was at work and had forgotten my blush, in order not to scare customers (I have anaemia problems and look quite ill without blush, even though I am fine). It was a perfect colour for my complexion, a dusky pink, but just very powdery, a lot of fallout, I will have to find one the same colour, just better quality.

    BS 'Ananya' eau de toilette. WBA but I don't think its made anymore, lovely unique scent.

    I have similar sized collection too though I have been culling them lately.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    I really rate the NYX baked blushes though I think you can only buy NYX online here at the mo so you wouldn't be able to swatch them.

    Anaya is a real blast from the past. Used to wear that all the time when I was at school.

    I have a uu

    Zoella Bath Fizzer - WNBA, this came in a beauty box and was very meh, products like this are the main reason I stopped buying beauty boxes, I wouldn't buy them individually but I am buying them seeing as I paid for the box.

    Was this the Latest in Beauty Award Winners Box by any chance? That's where I got the same product which I used last week which was rubbish!


    Now for some more UUs - I'm on a roll!

    Hotel Soap.

    Burt's Bees Ultimate Care Hand Cream 50g: This was okay but nothing special. WMBA.

    TBS Wild Argan Oil Body Lotion 250ml: The smell and consistency of this was nice but the pump stopped working when there was about 100ml left which made it frustrating to use. WNBA.

    Wilko Extra Firm Hairspray 75ml: This wasn't great to be honest. I only use hairspray when I have wild flyaways and it couldn't keep them down for long. WNBA.

    Palmolive Almond Milk Shower Milk: LOve the smell of the hand soap version of this but the shower milk smells different and chemically - WNBA.
