No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries April 2016

rdone

I have 1 UU...

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. Really liked this and have another mini in my stash so have brought that out. I have no other Liz Earle now so am using up a toner and moisturiser from Benefit that I have in little 9ml bottle. Have had to decant the moisturiser though as I just can't get it out of the glass bottle.

Since tidying up my make up the other day I feel a lot better about it all and only have 123 items now. When I started this challenge last summer I was almost at 200. I haven't counted shampoos or shower gels as I've always kept them under control.

I have far to many body creams etc and need to really target using these. I never really bother so it's time to start! Will put one in the shower to use as shaving cream as that'll probably help!

The other thing I have loads of is hair products. And I never use hair products. I just wash, brush and out the door! Maybe it's time to start giving it a go, I find that if I put any product in it I have to wash it every 3 days or so. I only wash it about once a week now.

I wrote everything into a spread sheet with separate tabs for different categories. A spread sheet usually helps me to use things up and sort it out!

On more UU/TA this morning:

Lush Layer Cake Soap: This wouldn't lather and had little to no fragrance in it - very disappointed and WNBA.

Ohh that's not good
I've got this soap in stash but haven't used it yet. That's such a shame as it smells nice.

Just ordered 3 soaps on their website, 2 godmother (which I've heard good things about) and I love coco.

I like the smell of the rainbow soap that's in stash, very tempted to go back and get another before it disappears.

Need to stop with the lush addiction I seem to have currently.

Eta. 1 in today, Elie Saab 50ml eau de parfum

Some INs to report

2 x Mitchum 48hr AP/Deo stick (2 for 1, none left in stash) 1/23
LFF Eye Primer 2/24
LFF Cream to powder blusher 3/25

I rather gave up on my 6 by Spring list, but have now finished
GWP size rosy/tawny pink lipstick, name and colour too small to read. Lancome? 4/27

The blusher, although showing a lot of the pan is still going and the Lily Lolo eye shadow duo, the base colour is finished, but the the dark grey will probably last for years more:(

hello everyone!

i have INS as my love lula box came, really happy with it this month. i'd been looking for a cruelty free replacement for my origins ginzing eye cream so happy the full size PHB equivalent was in it for me to try!

UU
Bobbi brown MUR - WNBA as not cruelty free

i had a proper spring clean of my make up and it now fits just in my dressing table and one ikea godmorgan organiser :j:T very happy to actually start seeing reductions in the stash!


TA:
Mac eyeshadow - this was bought in 2009 :eek: and the colour pay off had pretty much gone. i have more then enough similar colours so said goodbye!
Laura Mercier tightline in black and brown and a creme liner in brown - these were 2010 purchases and i have an unused black one and unused ones in sets so i thought as its my eyes, throw the oldest versions and start fresh.
bare minerals dual blush and radiance powder - i'd been mixing these together to add a bit with my foundation as the blush tempers the radiance powder which is far too muddy and bronze on its own and the pot exploded all over me!
Dior palette - this was a 2010 or 2011 xmas palette and the colour payoff had gone.

GA:
Jouer and Witchery highlighters - both far too bronze and golden for my pale skin so GA to a good home.

You will have fab time. The sets are amazing.

So I have a couple of INs:-

Wandered into Superdrug which was fatal as they have 3 for 2 across all beauty brands. Emma did need a new Maybelline concealer and Rimmel Stay Matte powder so I got a Sleek lip liner as freebie and got free make up bag.

My friend also brought in the Avon brochure. As the Pkanet Spa body butter I enjoyed was on clearance I have ordered one. Noticed there were only 2 pages worth of Pkanet Spa products.

Went to Trafford centre last night and bought L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap refill. Smelt the new perfume which is divine. Think I may treat myself to a bottle some time as I have UUed some fragrances recently. Swatches the NARS lipstick called Anna on my hand too and feel I NEED this.

Have however earmarked 5 products that I think will be UUed this week:-

TBS Tea Tree cleanser. Have cut tube open and probably only have one application left.

LE Skin Repair moisturiser. Felt like it dispensed less than usual last night.

soap and glory scrub of your life. Tube cut open.

Lush mask of Magnaminty. Used this morning and there is now just a smear of product around the sides,

LE Orange blossom body lotion. Tube feeling squishy.

A David and a Goliath UU to declare:D

1 litre ABC Tea Tree Bodywash. HG for OH. Just opened last one, so will look for a good offer later in the summer/early autumn. 5/28

Sachet Tata Harper Moisturizing Mask, very generous amount, no nasty reaction, will price compare against my previous HG Gatineau one sometime. Need to check what else is lurking in the drawers. 6/29

I have been sorting toiletries and make up for a 4 night get a way in our caravan, several travel sized items packed which have been started, so hope to come back with some empties.

A few recent UU:

M&S Poppy Hand Cream 30ml - I got on with this hand cream fine although it's not my favourite. I got it as part of a pack of 3 in January Sales for £3 (I don't think I would pay any more than that for it). It was a nice consistency and the scent wasn't overly floral. It's also cruelty free. I wouldn't buy it again though as I prefer other creams. I have the other 2 creams from the pack in the stash.
Nivea Visage Rich Daily Moisture Cream 2ml sample - I liked this sample and it was perfect for this time of year for me. I like a rich cream. I'm not sure if this is still a product as this is an old sample from Race for Life circa 2006. :O
Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion 10ml sample - I know this is better than some other lotions as I tried it half and half with Garnier Ultimate Blends after a shower. This one made my skin ever so slightly softer than Ultimate Blends. It has a very neutral scent. I'm undecided on whether I would buy this full size though.
Nivea Visage Daily Essentials Extra Gentle Eye Make Up Remover 125ml - This was very gentle on my eyes and didn't sting. I'm not sure how old this is as I got it second hand from a friend at least a couple of years ago. Since I got this free it was definitely value for money and long-lasting (makes me less likely to get eye make up remover on a whim since it takes a while to use up). I got on with this fairly well and it removed my eye shadow and most of my mascara but it didn't get all of my waterproof eyeliner. I've replaced it with a L'Oreal gel eye make up remover from the stash.

Update on the stash:
Lush shower gel - about 5 uses left
Boots Extracts Spiced Apple Body Butter 50ml tub - 1 use left
Naked Colour Hair Conditioner - 1-2 uses left
Montagne Jeunesse face mask sachet - 1 use left
Herbal Essences Hair Conditioner - up to 5 uses left

I will focus on the above 5 products to use up in the next week or so and then my next target is to use up some more mini body lotions and butters.
