No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries March 2016

Evening, more UUS

12) nature republic sheet mask WNBA

13) Pantene conditioner 75ml WMBA nice enough but not a favourite.

14) yummy mummy skin conditioner WNNNEBA I hated this product and it has taken me a year to use it up. You are supposed to use in as an in shower body conditioner, put it on and wash it off. You can't towel dry your skin because anything left you literally rub off. It smells sickly an I see no point in the product. I used it up as a shave cream but even that job it struggles with clogging up the razor.

15) curly wurly shampoo WBA I like the product and only use it a couple of times a month. The only negative is it is full of pieces of coconut so you need to brush your hair very well over something or you spend forever with the Hoover collecting all the little bits. You will also never get all of it out so will find several pieces in bed with you the next day even when you do brush your hair several times.

16) Garner micellar water 400 ml WBA this product lasted me months and I enjoyed using it and will repurchase when I remember.

17) peeping Santa bubble bar WNBA prefer other scents

18) Dr morita revitalising sheet mask WBA very good fit and saturated with essence.

Hi All,

Been AWOL from the thread for a few days as RL has been very hectic!

I'm not sure who it was, but just wanted to say thank you for the advice re: using acid toners. I have only used them twice so far over the last week and will see how I go. So far so good with the REN, I haven't tried the Pixi pads yet. I have also been applying SPF, as I had read it's important to protect the skin when using acids and retinols!

VALM how are you finding the blush palette you treated yourself to? I hope you like it!

I am also a big fan of the colour tattoos, I do think we are slowly starting to get a bigger variety of them, my Superdrug has quite a good selection. I have the Eternal Gold, but find the colour a bit patchy with mine, though it looks fine when used as a base with other products on top. I have 8 of them :eek: with Crème de Nude, Crème de Rose and On and On Bronze my top 3

I've had a quick sort through my nail varnishes and found 10 I am going to GA, and I also GA a big 500ml Soap & Glory shower gel to my mum. Have also had a couple of UU's but I will list them in a separate post later/tomorrow.

Mavala nail polish in Geneva - totally finished! Gorgeous colour.
Radox Marshmellow shower gel - was okay, prefer other scents

It may have been me who recommended the glycolic toners as I've recently started to use the Pixi Glow Tonic and am loving it. I have SPF in my foundation so I guess this is ok?

from the UD palette I have not tried the two on the left yet however am loving the others except that the OC doesn't really show on my skin. Will use it as a base with my Bronze n Brighten on top.

Like your collection of Colour Tattoos. Have a friend who's visiting the US later this year and may give her a list for some.

I was very good yesterday and completely ignored the OPI TSV. I usually justify the purchase by thinking that I need a Nail Envy, like most of the colours and use the Avoplex oil. However QVC's main reason for usually reeling me in is that in the past the TSV has been aired prior to the collection release. This time I'd had a chance to see the colours IRL and decide I didn't want them. I don't feel I'm in need of a specific cuticle oil/treatment anymore either so I'd have been buying a kit just for one colour (probably) and a bottle of Nail Envy. I've come a long way lol. Did repainting my nails last night and am wearing OPI Get Cherried Away again.

Thing is though that I have sold another item today on the Bay and at the moment I'm getting more of a thrill moving items from my stash that way than adding to it.

Saying that though I have another IN to declare but it was a real bargain. Went into Boots yesterday for throat lozenges for Emma and bought a Leighton Denny crystal nail file from the clearance shelf for £4.85! Great as a spare.

UU's x2
Nivea Visage Regenerating Night Cream 1.5ml x2 - Free samples - WBA- as this is a very light lotion and easy to apply. Nice feel on skin. I have enough night cream though so will not be buying it for a while.


Ins
Smashbox X-rated Mascara - Freebie.


Total Ins =1 UU=2

Another UU : small tube of No 7 Instant Radiant primer. Have another one of this size in my stash along with a bottle of MAC Prep and Prime which has been opened so will use this next. I'm not a huge fan of the No 7 one as it's cream based and I prefer silicone based primer. I think I'll use the MAC first followed by the No 7. Then so long as they are both not finished in March I will buy a new primer once I get paid at the end of this month and ditch what is left of the No 7 one.

Hi all,
Sorry for the late response, i'm in again, of course.
Thanks MaddieMay for starting us off.

My PP list is as follows (half are roll overs from Feb)

L'Occitane precious cream 8ml
L'Occitane spring cherry hand cream 30ml
L'Occitane spring cherry moisturiser 75ml
Clinique vitamin C lip smoothie in fig-a-licious
Malin + Goetz lip moisturiser 5ml
Dop Cherry shower cream 250ml
Neutrogena nordic berry moisturiser 6ml sample sachet
Greek olive oil soap with grape
French Connection body butter 50ml
Avene mini moisturiser sample 5ml

UU so far:
L'Occitane precious cream 8ml- this is lovely especially at this time of the year. I have a voucher for another one of these small samples, so I hope they still have some left.

I have another couple of the above which are spluttering, but I really need to make a better effort on the body butters and moisturisers.

and no ins! yay! and I'm not tempted by any of the Balance Me freebies this time, as I still have the face mask to use up from last time.

Hi all,

One OUT: No 7 Essentially Natural Foundation sold on The Bay. I bought 3 tubes on 3 for 2 but am finding that it does not have the staying power I would like. I'm probably nearly all the way through the first tube so will UU this and then another however am glad that someone has bought the third from me.

VALM - I love my LD Crystal nail file, it seems like an expense at full price (yours was a bargain) but they just last forever.

sam.4000 - that curly wurly shampoo would be no good for me, I have curly hair so it can't be brushed, just combed through in the shower with a wide toothed comb.
