No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries March 2016

[Deleted User]

Couple of unexpected UUs this evening.

14.OGX Apawuhi Ginger Conditioner. Shampoo still going as usual. WMBA. This was fine. It smelt nice but I don't know that it's anything special.
15. L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Booster. WMBA. I liked this. I think it did give a temporary effect of more volume but it only lasted me about 4 washes so I'd only buy if it was on offer.

Used my Nude Progenius Facial Oil last night and this evening. Not sure what I think. It's the first time I've used a facial oil and although it's not as greasy as I expected, it doesn't seem to sink in. Put me off the idea of rosehip oil a little bit but I'll keep trying.
Has anyone seen the new Make Up Revolution palette? It's a collaboration with British Beauty Blogger and it looks beautiful! It's called Fortune Favours the Brave, I think.

I have never managed to get colour matched for Bare Minerals, on my rare visits to a Debenhams store I have never found a SA who knew about BM or was prepared to match me. Lily Lolo sell sample pots and will mix two colours, so I think that will be my next place to try, although the Aussie one I have now will last me for a long time.

I'm back to Lily Lolo. Last time the colours were all wrong but now they've brought out China Doll I am set! Love how soft the powders are as well

I'm a fellow China Doll. I find I don't use mineral foundation as often as liquid. It takes me about three times as long to apply. Any tips for making it easier?

I have SPF in my foundation so I guess this is ok?

I am not sure as you need about a 5ml baby medicine measure spoon of spf for the face and neck- i doubt you get that level of overage with a foundation. I know i tried the foundation but figured the coverage was not sufficient. I use the biotherma- it absorbs in really well even with loads of creams and oils- it does not roll off.

I intend investing in a fancy spf hat and rocking it this summer. caroline hirons has an interview with dr marko lens on youtube and its really informative.

Some UU to report and also been a bit naughty today

Pantene smooth & sleek conditioner mini 75ml - WBA this was a decent conditioner did the job well and smells nice. May purchase full size in future. I think this was free with a magazine originally.

Garnier fructis colour last conditioner - WBA fructis seems to agree with my hair and it's always softer when I use this. I like the pleasant smell and it's not a watery consistency. Really like this stuff and it can be picked up in the pound shops easily so a bargain IMO.

Argan oil hydrating hair mask - WBA this is one of my HG products. I've only ever paid £1 for it and it should be more IMO for the quality (but I'm not complaining!) it's really nice and does a great job on my hair better than a lot of more expensive ones. You get a good amount in the pot, it smells lovely and the consistency is perfect.

I do have some In's as I had a primark voucher and met my friend for lunch, I also took the opportunity to visit superdrug to stock up on my HG mouthwash and got some other bits but I'll declare these tomorrow as the bag is in my car, can't remember exactly what I bought. I did use some of the money off my superdrug card towards these so I don't feel completely guilty (I lie, I'm terribly guilty :rotfl::o)

Primark In's (with voucher)
Baby balmi summer berry lip balm - didn't have a lip balm on me and my lips were flaking really bad in town so I grabbed this, only £2 and I've been wanting to try balmi for ages. I'm interested to see how this compares to my EOS ones. They had these in mint too. Think I'll leave this in the car so I'm not without one when I'm out and about.

Is it because your skin is dry? I moisturIse and use a primer underneath. I was off work yesterday (and probably will be today) as Emma has tonsillitis. A friend was calling in at lunch so applied Balance not Brighten only rather than my usual liquid foundation underneath. I use a kabuki brush to apply mine. I think what you apply mineral foundation with is important toone as it needs to be buffed in rather than just applied. HAHA.

Wouldn't think that I use that amount of foundation!

I'd be interested in how you get on with the balmi lip balm. I don't care for the eos one I have very much. It's the strawberry one and tastes synthetic.

Another used up on my PP List:

Lacura Hand Cream

I only have my Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner to go and to be honest I think that will be around for another 3 months as it lasts forever!

I'm now onto my freebie L'Occitane Shea hand cream which is only 10 mls so I can see that lasting a week if I'm lucky! My hands have been sooooooo dry recently.

Forgot to declare a birthday IN from last week:

Lypsyl strawberry lip balm - I like the scent but it's not something that glides over the lips easily :S
