No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries April 2016

I have some ins

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Sandglow - I used this today and it has creased badly but I am blaming the Urban Decay Anti Ageing Primer Potion I used underneath as I am not a fan of it and everything creases with it (the original and sin versions are fab which is weird).

Essie Truth or Flare Nail Polish
Stila Convertible Lip & Cheek Colour in Poppy
Eyeko Skinny Brush Mascara

In typical style with it being annual leave and my birthday this week, I've come down with another nasty cold and a sore throat. Don't want to go anywhere or eat anything and I was supposed to be going out tonight to cinema and a meal for my birthday (which is later this week) with family tonight and I'm not well enough to do anything. I wish I hadn't booked the leave as if I was working I'd of taken it off sick, now my precious annual leave is being wasted I bet I'll be well just in time for going back to work on Monday :-/
Going to doctors tomorrow for blood tests to find out why I keep catching so much as I've had constant colds, sore throats and stuffy sinuses and generally feeling exhausted all the time without a break since the end of 2014 and they haven't done anything about it, just fobbed me off with "you're just unlucky". I haven't had a single day without cold symptoms, but I appear to have got another bug on top of that this week. This has all been going on ever since I had spinal surgery I was fine before that and I'm wondering if it's related. I just want an answer :-/

Anyway no UU but toothpaste is getting very hard to squeeze out now. I do have a few ins as I ordered mini toners for my work bag to replace the no.7 one:

3 x TBS aloe toners 60ml
3 x TBS vitamin e toners 60ml

Had to throw away a serum that was made of all natural ingredients as it started smelling funky and had been open a good few months. I did use about a third of it when i was using it tho

Also passed on to my brothers gf a still sealed pack of those dental floss pick things that i bought a couple months ago in the hope of using them but never have. I use regular string floss anyway

2 items out of my stash. 1 may have gone in the bin(but for good reason) but the other has found a good home

An unexpected UU this evening!

6. Lush Ocean Salt 120g. I like this and WBA at some point no doubt but for the time being I'm happy with a loofah sponge and shower gel I think. No body scrubs in my stash but multiple loofah sponges!

Thanks for all of the kind words about my hen weekend! We went to Lisbon :j:j We got back Monday evening and I've pretty much slept ever since. Work has been a bit of a shock today :rotfl: Had an amazing time though :beer:

Well done BirdNerdSophie on your new job

Ooo you've both made me so excited now VALM and littlemissbossy, I'll be seeing Muse in Glastonbury and I am overly excited!! I'm just praying they don't do a Foo Fighters!!

And onto toiletries... a UU of a toothpaste over the weekend and one in the house this morning. Chris left all of his toiletries in Warsaw (where he went for his stag over the weekend) so they're all gone as well!

Joined two new survey's this morning. One for S&J Camomile Fresh Micellar Cleansing Water and the other for VL Body Blur. I'll report back once I've received and used them.

We were lucky enough to see the Foo Fighters last year before Dave Grohl's accident. My daughter is seeing Muse at Benicassim too.

A few UU for me:

[FONT=&quot]Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Exfoliating Face Scrub 150ml[/FONT][/B][FONT=&quot]- Had this for a while and went through a phase when I used tonnes of it up as I was exfoliating more regularly. I've since cut back to once a week so it took a bit of time to use the remainder. WMBA. This did the job but I'm just as happy with a Morrisons own brand one[/FONT].

[FONT=&quot]Head & Shoulders Itchy Scalp Care Conditioner/balsam 200ml [/FONT][FONT=&quot]- WDBA as this was a pretty good quality condtioner for my thick hair. I've also used this before as a shampoo.
[/FONT]
Update on PP list

Boots Extracts Spiced Apple Body Butter 50ml - Used up about a third to a half of it this morning
Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion 10ml sample - Just a slither of it left, will use up tomorrow
Montagne Jeunesse Dead Sea Mud Pac 20g - 1 use left, will use up at weekend
Nivea Visage Daily Essentials Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover 125ml - 1 or 2 uses left so hope to finish this week.
M&S Poppy Hand Cream 30ml - 1 or 2 uses left, I hope to finish this tomorrow.

Had a bath this evening, UU a couple things:

Lush magic wand re usable bubble bar - WBA if part of next Christmas range. This did me 4 baths with a good amount of bubbles. I finished what was left with a bit of pink fun and the remains of a shower gel that had lost its fragrance. It smells just like snow fairy and turns the water pale pink. Liked this, and I think it was good value for money as it did 4 baths and would probably do more (I'm quite generous!)

Luksja butterfly lily & Amber shower gel 250ml- Wnba this hadn't been in stash hugely long, possibly 12 months, if that, and had nearly lost its fragrance (and what there was, it smelled not very nice!!) I've had shower gels as old as 5 years that were still completely fine so I was a bit annoyed by this. I'm not sure if this is an imperial leather rip off or the version of this from another country (like walkers crisps are to lays crisps). Hated what it still smelled of, I couldn't bear to use it in shower but didn't want to waste 250ml either so I used it in the bath to create extra bubbles. Which it did do. Not going to waste my pennies on this again though. Either way, I've got discontinued imperial leather gels that still smell perfect, so will definitely choose to spend 30p extra and get an imperial leather one on offer next time (although by the size of shower gel stash this won't be for another 20 years).

I also used 1/2 bar of lush pink fun, but I'll declare that as an out when the whole thing is gone. Going to add it to pp list to remind me to get it used. There was a discoloured bit on it and as its already a month out of date, don't want it to go funny. I've heard lush fun bars can go funny/turn to liquid quite quickly.

Sensodyne complete protection toothpaste- WBA even though I swear sensodyne never lasts as long as normal toothpastes. For me it's worth the money for the relief it gives from tooth pain as I have sensitive teeth. I cry when I pay for it but my teeth are thanking me. This one tastes pleasant and did the job brilliantly. Not had any pain whilst using it. Replaced with another sensodyne one (repair & protect daily) which annoyingly I don't like the taste of so much (although my taste buds are off due to my cold so it could be that).

I also have 3 ins that are NBIs that mum gave me tonight, which she said was to cheer me up. She knows something as simple as a new shower gel can make my day, sad really :rotfl:

In:

Dove peony & sweet cream body wash 250ml
Garnier ultimate blends delicate soother shampoo
Garnier ultimate blends delicate soother conditioner

The dove smells beautiful, as soon as the rubbishy coconut one I'm currently trying to UU is gone, I think I will be using this. I should be using the oldest ones first, but this just smells too lovely!! Not trying to enable, but it's the new dove scent I think. I just want the matching soap bar now too (but again this is an area of stash I shouldn't be adding to, and I bought another 3 just yesterday). Think I am going to be on the naughty step for eternity!!

Chucked a couple of bits into my work sleep in bag ready for next week, whilst I remembered, to replace what I UU last week. Put in one of the TBS 60ml aloe toners that arrived today and a half used palmers cocoa butter with rose hip moisturising oil spray. I never reach for the palmers spray normally (I usually use the spray ones in summer or TBS sorbets and tend to reach more for my Vaseline aloe spray lotion). So hopefully this will get the palmers one gone and not sitting on my window sill.

Oh and I treated myself to a 500g lush Prince Charming shower cream off eBay as I missed it in store. Will declare when it comes. Shower stuff is definitely one of my biggest weaknesses. Used to be body butters, now it's shower gels. Help.

Morning all
Another UU, a bar of pears soap. I will need to buy more soap as we only have one bar left in the stash. Would love to get down on the liquid soap as that seems to be hanging around for ages.
Think I may have to ta my mascara if I have another in the stash - it is one from a big gift box type set of makeup and the packaging feels a bit basic, anyhow the screw threw on the mascara tipi be just clicks round forever and doesn't actually stop then last night the wand fell off the holder part of the lid and I have to get my fingers dirty now to ram it back in so if I have another it's going.
It is however a good way to get through the liquid soap stash lol
