No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries March 2016

Another IN though it was only ordered last night so won't arrive until next week. I got hold of a new large size pot of lush big calm shower jelly, cheaper than to buy on the lush site (eBay) and it's only a couple of months old so will be in date for ages yet. That was the only other jelly I've wanted and can't buy in store so I've got my jelly fix now, and I don't want or need anymore of them. Though I have a feeling the mothership may pinch it as its supposed to be a coco nutty smell and she loves coconut. I always have a shower gel/foam, a jelly and a scrub on the go in the shower and alternate everyday what I use. I may sniff the new bunny one in store but will only buy if I really love it. I'm taking my American friend to lush at some point this month as she's never been and she's just back from the USA. I'm not intending to buy much though as I was really going for pot o gold jelly but as it appears to be discontinued I bought it on eBay instead. The other thing I want to sniff is the don't rain on my parade shower gel as it supposedly contains violets and I love violet smells but again I didn't buy online even though tempted as I am only going to buy if I really love the smell. And only the small bottle. I don't need anymore as I have a ton though. And may get a small tub of rub rub rub scrub as I'm using my only tub of this at the moment (can't live without this one HG and I alternate it with my other non lush scrubs) as my brother took the small tub that was in my stash back to uni with him. May treat my friend to one of the Easter gift sets for Easter (hoping I can convert her to lush hehe).
Not done too badly this last month though. I haven't bought for the sake of buying, avoided eBay bundles of stuff, didn't order from bomb cosmetics/lush/fragrance direct and haven't been to any shops apart from home bargains with mum. Only had a few little lush items ( 2 x shower jelly) and a few bits that mum bought for me. May need to go to superdrug when I go to lush and stock up on my HG mouthwash as only got 1 left which I'm taking to work tonight for sleep ins and the listerine I'm using is 1/3 full. May also stock up on sensodyne as I'm on my last one currently. If I'm paying for car park in town might as well do it all in one go.
Ohh I forgot mum bought me elvive extraordinary clay shampoo & conditioner today so that's another 2 IN I was hoping she would keep them for my birthday next month but they've gone in the bathroom to be used at some point.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

I see I'm not the first to get the Balance Me freebies! I got two so my INs are:
5. Balance Me Body Wash
6. Balance Me Tinted Eye Cream. Anything to help the EyeBags. Yes, they deserve capitals.
7-8. Freebie sachets x 2 - Garnier Ultimate Blends Body Lotion, Honey Treasures
My UUs are:
4. One of the Garnier sachets. WMB. I like this. I've got the original Ultimate Blends body lotion spluttering at the moment and I know the entire range is half price in Superdrug atm. I need to go in there tomorrow for boring stuff so must avoid that aisle.
5. Mini Next Cashmere EDP. WNBA. Did not last well at all. Not worth getting again.
Also GA Lush Yummy Mummy Shower Cream. WNBA Quite liked this in the shop but then it's hard to smell things individually in there sometimes. Used it once, hated it once it lathered. Like, had to wash again after hated it. Also I used it in the bath and it made the water grey which was unappealing. Gave to my sister, she's had it before and liked it. Each to their own!
And TA Rimmel Wonder-full Mascara. WNBA. This is the one with Argan Oil in it. I really perservered with this but I cannot get it to work well for me. It's too wet and it's sticky. I always end up with it on my eyelid somehow and it makes my lashes droop because it's too heavy.
Going shopping tomorrow with a friend. She's already said she needs to go in the Body Shop and I really want a new Indian Night Jasmine body mist. I have been avoiding buying it since my last one ran out. I have a 35% off code so don't know whether I should resist or get it while it's cheap. Decisions decisions!0 -

I've got this Gemzie121. I've only used it once and liked it. The shampoo is a lot thicker than any other Elvive ones I've had so go easy the first time you use it!0 -
Meant to also add that I've really liked my eye make up today. I have used Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Ethereal Gold all over my lids with Sassy from the balm Nude TUde palette in my crease and outer v. Have used NYX milk jumbo eyeshadow crayon in inner corner and to highlight brow bone then blended this out with the white shade from this palette. Have used LG black eyeliner and NYX mascara (can't remember the name but it looks like dupe for Roller Lash).
The Colour Tattoos are good, aren't they VALM?
I bought the Creamy Mattes in Crème de Nude last week and have been using it instead of primer under powder shadows. I had my makeup on for about 14-15 hours yesterday. Half my foundation had gone but my eyeshadow didn't have a single crease. Magic!0 -

Yes I love mine. Only wish that we had the colour choice that they have in the US and wish I had picked some up there. I do keep seeing You Tube videos claiming that thesedry out over time so intend to keep mine out to use.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I ordered 2 of these to qualify for the GWP too. What did you get. I got the neutral set I think. Love the eyeliner and nail colour but not the eyeshadows so much.
I got the neutrals set too. I only got them last night so I haven't tried any of them yet but from the look of the shade in the bottle I think I'm going to really like the nail varnish.
For the lipsticks I got adoring love as I had that one in a sample size and really liked it and posh petal to try.0 -

VALM/Deleted_User - I love the colour tattoos too, I have the taupe one and the bronze one, I didn't get the gold one as I thought it might be a bit bright for me but I'm thinking maybe not if you like it VALM. I like the Max Factor Excess Shimmer cream shadows too but my favourite one is the Benefit Birthday Suit cream shadow.
