No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2016

Eyebright

Have finally written down my PP List for January. I've selected 10 things I want to UU this month, but realistically there should be more in addition!

1) Estee Lauder Daywear moisturiser 50ml. This has been a right LHJ, though I do like it a lot, it's nice under make up, doesn't ball up etc.

2) Imperial Leather Fruit Salad shower gel 250ml, Yum!

3)Garnier Micellar Water 400ml the one with the green lid. Is that the one that's supposed to be mattifying?

4) Lush Lip Balm, the honey one.

5) 1x Superdrug Teatree Nose Strip- poor thing has been languishing in the cupboard for ages :rotfl:

6) Bodyshop Vitamin E Day Moisturising cream 50ml, another LHJ, which has been languishing in the cupboard. I replaced it with the EL Daywear as it's richer which suits my dry skin, but I need to get it UU, so the plan is to use it up on my neck/d!colletage. I always forget to moisturise my neck

7) Benefit It's Potent Eye Cream- I have a little sample pot of it. It's never done anything for my dark circles though!

8)Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream 300ml- love this stuff, but it's been going for ages and I want to have a chance to use something else!

9) Elements Bath Fizzer- this has been sat in my stash for a good couple of years. Got some lovely Lush bathbombs for Xmas, but have made myself a promise that I can't use them until this thing has been UU.

10) Girlz Only Dry Shampoo- again half UU but never finished as it's not particularly effective! I've started spraying some of this in my hair at night before I go to bed, on the advice of a Youtuber, to absorb the oil produced overnight. Seems to work better this way!

Have some uu already!
Lush candy mountain- love this and have two more. Got about 4 baths out of this.
Clarins hand cream- keep getting this in GWP's! Would not buy as it is too heavily perfumed for me but am happy to get for free
Elemis rose skin bliss capsules x 7 - love these, really moisturising, not sure if they do too much for the appearance of my skin though

I know some of you use Elemis pro collagen marine cream. I have a 50ml jar I was gifted in an Xmas set and as I'm 21 I don't see the benefit of me using it yet! This is unopened so if anyone would like to do a small swap please PM me

I have enough PCMC for 2016 I think however I repainted my nails this morning and have decided I don't like the colour at all so I'm offering it free to a new home if anyone wants it : Formula X - Extreme. It's brand new - only got it in the US in September and have worn it twice. PM me if interested.

My first two 2016 UUs! :j

1) La Roche-Posay Soothing Protective Cream - WNBA as I prefer other creams from this brand and it smells horrible.

2) Superdrug Nourishing 5 Minute Fabric Facial Mask - this is the first time I have ever tried a sheet mask and I came to the conclusion I have a very small face. The nose/mouth/eye holes did not line up with my face so I spent ages trying to scrunch it into position so it covered my skin! I quite liked it. If anyone can recommend any sheet masks for dry/sensitive skin that would be great.

I use a variety of sheet masks but not UK brands, mostly Korean and some Taiwan sheet masks. They all fit differently, my sister is also uses sheet masks every few days and they are normally too big for her. I have a much bigger face but I have had some that are too big or the eye holes and mouth holes don't line up.

Not sure about what dry sensitive skin but my sister has quite sensitive skin and has never reacted to any. Brands I use are:
Innisfree
Tony moly
Skinfood
Four seasons
Malie
Shara shara
Purederm
Foodaholic
Y.e.t.
Misha
Étude house
Tosowoong
Faceshop
Mediheal i use the dress code ones from this brand
Leaders ( one of my favourites)
Dr morita
Nature republic

You can pick them up on eBay and Amazon fairly cheaply. I prefer sheet masks ( paper soaked) rather than hydrogel masks which are like a sheet of jelly normally in two pieces as I normally break them. Hydrogel are supposed to be more effective. I order mine from varies Korean companies that offer free postage as it's the postage that makes them expensive.

I have one UU

3. Maybelline age rewind eraser eye concealer. I enjoyed using this

I have a couple of UU's:

Garnier Micellar Water Mattifying 400ml- WDBA
Prada Hard Candy 2ml sample perfume- WNB, OK but not my favourite scent
Superdrug Teatree Nose Strip x 1- WNBA
Modern Muse EL 1.5ml sample- WNB, pleasant enough but not a favourite for me

My EL Daywear cream has probably got a day or two left at best, same with my Lush lipbalm, which I'm pleased about.

I also GA a 30ml bottle of Poison perfume by Dior. I've used once maybe twice, but find it much too overpowering on me. MIL was happy to take it off my hands!

Also TA 3 perfumes, that were all ancient and didn't quite smell right anymore.

Just before I enrolled on this challenge I had sorted out a bag of toiletries that were off and couldn't be UU. I'm gutted I didn't write them all down, must have been 10-15 items. I don't want to waste anymore products, it's a waste of my money and the money of others who may have bought those things for me as gifts

Oh! I also forgot I have an IN to declare:

400ml bottle Garnier Micellar water. Pink lid this time. Got it with my points at Boots.

I also got 3 items of make up, though make up is not currently part of my challenge. It should be though, I've got tonnes of the stuff!!!!

Nyx High Voltage lipstick in Flutter Kiss
Nyx Buttergloss in crème brulee
Nyx Prismatic shadow in Girl Talk

Can you tell I'm realllllllly loving Nyx at the moment? Some great stuff for the price!

Just about to sort out the things for my 6 by spring challenge...

Can NYX be bought in store now? I keep reading really great reviews on make up alley. I have 2 X baked blusher X which I love, their eyebrow kit which the Jury's still out on and a mascara which I've only used a little.
