No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries April 2016

I have some more more ins as I had another birthday present: boots extracts strawberry body butter 200ml, body scrub 200ml and body wash 200ml.

Some bomb cosmetics bits I won on eBay also arrived but I haven't checked the box contents yet to see if it's all there as we've a house viewing tomorrow morning (selling house). But there should be 6 x bath blasters and a tub of bath salts. So another 7.

That makes another 10 in :eek: so really not doing well this week for ins. Need to get using more up fast!!! Plus still waiting on a lush shower cream and some lush soaps I ordered.

On the plus side, I went to the supermarket with mum this evening and didn't buy anything toiletry related which was a first. Not that I need anything!!! I ended up buying two magazines instead, luckily neither had a free toiletry gift.

I'm rather upset about the Avon chocolate truffle body butter I'm using currently... Really thought I was going to love it as it smelled divine in the tub, but it just smells sickly sweet on my skin, but my biggest bug bear is that it is quite heavily coloured and it's one of those pearlised? (Is that the word?) ones so it's been staining my clothing a little :-/ can't wait to start something else which is a shame as I was looking forward to this and I do enjoy sniffing it in the tub, just not when it's on me

Hi ladies. Another UU :-

Emma finished off the LUSH Mask of Magnaminty. She has a tiny amount of Ocean Salt left and then I'll have 5 pots to trade. Hanging on for pay day next week in any event as I'm on my last body scrub so will pick up a bar of Pirridge as well as a mask then. Wish it was time to buy Cup o Coffee too but I have 2 facial scrubs left in stash. I opened one yesterday : Lancier The Methid Polish. It felt nice actually. After I've UUed that I have a small tube of Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator to UU then can buy Cup o Coffee.

Repainted my nails last night with Dear Diary (actually if I really tip the bottle a lot I get a good amount of product on my nail so will paint my toe nails later with it) as base and OPI Do You Take Lei Away.

Also, this week have had a hankering for the Tarte blush called Exposed. Influenced by You Tube again cos every one and his dog has it. I remembered that Emma bought a Tarte holiday kit when we were in US which consisted of three mini palettes each containing 8 mini shadows and a larger blush. None contain Exposed sadly but she has lent me the darkest palette which has some gorgeous greys in. Will try this this week.

Used up dr hauschka bath oil lovely smell questionable effectiveness. Wnba but happy if got it as a gwp

Gemenzie I know who you feel about the cream. I opened a bath soak with goats milk and it was blah. It smelt lovely but did not foam or feel really nice. So basically have really disappointed my self as was saving it for a treat and it was not good.

Two shampoo mini used up. Ok but to judge a shampo you need a few washes.

Started Aldi grape therapy body lotion. Divine smell love it. Should buy more when in stock and the stash is reduced. I am kicking myself as thought Aldi would be blah but it is fantastic. Totally conveyed to being more open minded regarding Aldi.

In a tangle teaser. Ok I walked past these for years thing they look gimmicky but totally amaaazzzed. It got through the tangled mess my hair was. So this post basically tell you I had prejudged products based on retailer or feeling it can't live up to the hype. I was wrong and need to be more open minded.

I have a uu

Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner 50ml - WNB but would happily use again. I have replaced it with a GWP size Lancome Hydrating Toner.

I also have some ins

Bobbi Brown Stick Foundation in Ivory
Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Golden Pink
S&G 3D Gloss Stick in Pinkfetti
S&G 3D Gloss Stick in Pink a boo
The Balm Mary Loumanizer
The Balm Down Boy Blush
The Balm Hawaii Palette
Free makeup case
Prada Candy Kiss 50ml
Prada Candy Kiss Hair Mist 20ml

The Balm products were on 3 for 2 with a free makeup case which has gone to DD, I wanted to get the Bobbi Brown pale pink blush but The Balm one is very similar and a bit cheaper.

The S&G gloss sticks were buy one get one half price plus I had a 200 points coupon so they worked out at £3.25 for the 2 but they are still not worth that really as when I wound them up there is about 1/2" of product in them.

I had a £5 off perfume voucher for Boots so used that on the Prada perfume and also double points and 400 points for spending over £40.

All in all I used vouchers etc but I still spent a lot and didn't actually need any of it.

A UU Soap and Glory Hand cream This didnt even have a S&G scent, maybe it had gone off or its different to the other handcreams? It didnt smell bad though. Glad its gone, it lasted forever.

Some UU to report:

Dove derma spa goodness body lotion 10ml- WBA as full size this was a mini size that came in a gift set. This smelled nice and fresh, almost like grapefruit to me. Sunk in quickly. Don't need to buy any more lotions but would happily use this again and possibly buy when I run out (if I ever do).

Superdrug pro sensitive mouthwash- WBA HG does the job well and isn't too strong in taste. Replaced with another superdrug one, which leaves me with no more mouth washes in stash, so will have to stock up on them when I get a chance as I go through them quickly as always have one at home and one for use at work for sleep ins.

Astonish cranberry & cinnamon hand wash - Wnba didn't like the smell of this and hated how drying this was on the hands. It was heavily coloured too so left red marks all over the sink whenever anyone used it (didn't stain the sink but did stain a flannel). Replaced with a cussons jelly beans one from stash that seems to be much better.

Superdrug superfruit clay mask sachet- WBA loved the smell of this, dried nicely and I enjoyed using it. Definitely one I will re purchase.

Wilko jasmine & peach nectar roll on deodorant- WBA smells nice and does the job well.

Dr. Organic rose otto eye serum -WBA smells nice and does the job. Lasted me ages and ages too.

Eta. Forgot to declare an IN also - I love cherry almond sparkle body butter 200ml. They had them in pound land. Would have been rude not to!! Already have one in stash and like the smell. I like the I love... Stuff. Do I need it? No, I have tons. But I can't resist a bargain and a pound is a great price. Technically it's a NBI as mum bought it for me, and wouldn't let me pay at the till. Still an in though.
