No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2016

DreamyP

I have 3 UU's today

14. Lacoste sample- Loved the smell of this! WBA (NEXT YEAR MAYBE!)

15. Loreal extraordinary hair oil. I loved this when I got a sample when it first came out. But after buying the bottle...its just not that conditioning for my hair. I'm going to stick to Almond oil or Coconut oil.

16. Olay moisturiser. Enjoyed this. Need to finish some samples before I buy any tubs or anything haha.

VALM - I am using Philosophy Honey Buns body lotion at the moment, everything about it is gorgeous but they are so hard to get hold of here. I am also using the Bare Minerals Primer and it is siliconey I agree but my makeup looks perfectly smooth all day.

This was one of my adopted INs from Emma. When I told her how lovely it is she cringed and admitted she didn't know how long she has had it. I don't think I bought it for her so haven't a clue where it came from. It is still ok though (and I'm becoming a bit of an expert at sniffing out what has gone off!!).

S&G Face Soap & Clarty Vitamin C Facial Wash 30ml: I applied for this freebie ages ago and it turned up in the post this morning

I applied for this recently having only just got the S&G offered kit and S&G have now run out of free samples. I entered a prize draw I think instead.

I need to go and sit on the naughty step!!

Saw the benefit boots offer of 4 minis plus a make up bag and 2 deluxe samples for £15 (£13.50 with student discount) so now have ins to declare…

4 x benefit That gal primer minis
1x benefit Air Patrol deluxe sample
1x benefit License to Blot deluxe sample

don't even know if I like the products, which is very naughty!
I certainly felt the need to spend some of my ad card points last night.
Trying to justify on the basis that these minis are 7.5ml and the full-size is 11ml for £22… and that at least I only bought 4….

Just had a look at this. I really like the look of that Boing and Eye Bright duo but nothing else (thankfully). Will try to remember this when my Boing has gone as I reckon even this mini size will last ages. I have hit pan on my Boing but only because I tried applying it with a sponge and was absorbing more product than I eventually applied to my face.

My collegue has had a LBM after cutting open her tube! Hurrah!

I forgot to mention I have repainted my nails lately and am wearing OPI Barefoot in Barcelona which I used to love but now feel a little meh about.

I am also putting an Elemis cleanser on ebay later. I am a member of a Beauty sales and swaps page on fb and someone posted that they were looking for a full sized tub of the Pro Collagen Marine Balm. I PMed her with what I thought was a reasonable price but she hasn't bothered responding so I'm going to see if it will sell on ebay instead. Maybe she thought it was going to be a freebie!

I've started the February thread off:

Hope the link works, it took several attempts to get it to load the page - weird.

Me too. Had forgotten about it. Most freebies I apply for never turn up, so was surprised about this.


I have found another HG - Lanolips Triple Buttermilk Body Balm - obsessed with the smell, it's like milk and baby wipes
I had a really bad thumb nail, all cracked and horrible, rubbed a bit of this on over two days and it is nearly back to normal!

Three more UU for January.

Caudalie Eye and Lip cream. WBA but don't need at the moment
Living Proof Restore Conditioner. WNBA as it made my hair too soft
Ren Wake Wonderful Mask. WBA once I've used up my mask stash!

Think that might be it for January, but you never know with two days to go :rotfl:

A UU today I wasn't expecting:

Lacoste touch of pink 50ml perfume- WBA but already have a 30ml that was a Christmas present to replace. This is a really wearable scent as its quite light and not overpowering.

I got this today too smells ok, although hope it doesn't go off as some S&G products have a habit of doing :mad:
