No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries April 2016

VALM

One more UU to report:-

M&S Nature's Ingredients Cocoa Water handwash. This was a Xmas gift. I would not seek this out to repurchase as it dried my hands out. We only used it in the kitchen. I do have those two Sanctuary handwashes I recently picked up to replace it with however I'm thinking that I may keep them in my stash and put a smaller refilled bottle of L'Occitane Verbena (eco refill recently bought) in the kitchen so that I can put the Sanctuary ones in Emma's "hope chest" for Uni.

I also went into Boots yesterday for a bottle of nail polish remover. I still have a bit of mine left but wasn't sure if it would have been enough to remove the Pirouette My Whistle last night. Anyhow, the Clearance Shelf was chock a block with Mitchum deodorant blocks reduced to £1.50. Am thinking that I'll go back at lunch today and pick up a couple to stash for Emma as it's a good saving?

I will have more ins soon

Scored me some ghost shower gel and 2 x karma shower jelly from lush kitchen.

One of the jellies is for my friend (so technically will be 2 in not 3) who really liked the karma scent in the shop and bought the soap. I'm going to give this to her as a pressie when it arrives with the bits I've gathered together for her - I promised her my intergalactic bomb but I'm also thinking of giving her a mini happy hippy, a sample of refresher that I recieved in an order & my karma kream (I won't get round to it for ages so I'd rather she enjoy it).

VALM: Depends if you like Mitchum solids. I was very disappointed as I have to literally *scrub* the product off the next morning. WNBA.

Oh no. Just goes to show, one man's meat etc. My friend has gone to Boots so I have asked her to get me 2 so that I don't go and buy other things.

Fiasco - sorry to hear about your mum


Decided to be productive today and list some beauty items on eBay. Mainly ones from beauty boxes that aren't my shade and some odd ones that I've won. I won an expensive (for me, anyway) concealer last week, but it just turned up in the post and it's not my shade so that's annoying.

Used up one bar of soap.

Very sensible, VALM! I'm in a stock up phase at the mo, although nothing to hoard so much as to get a decently priced supply for use over the next year or more. I suppose only the Orangeasm fragrances that I've been stashing from e-bay would count as INs. I'm doing really well with perfumery though. Last year, I started out with 26 items from tiny samples, through miniatures and odds and ends in the bottom of bottles and several almost full decent sized products. Mum gave me one last year and I'm currently down to 10 (not counting all the Orangeasms - 4 body sprays and one tonic spray so far, but it IS being discontinued, so.....). I'm working on 3 at the mo, so things are certainly better in the perfumery arena. Mum has threatened to give me more soon, so there could well be about 8 NPIs, at least 2 of which I would sell at once.

Fiasco, I'd like to add my voice to the condolences here. My mum won't be around much longer either...

2 UU to report:

Lush creamy candy bubble bar- WBA HG love the candy scent (smells of snow fairy) and makes lovely soft bubbles. Turns the water a pretty pink colour. One of my faves.

Lush pink fun- WNBA specifically (but would use again if it comes in a gift set again) although I may try a different fun in the future. I loved the candy scent but it wasn't the easiest to use - I'm only really bothered for using it as a bath melt/for bubbles and to be honest I'd rather just buy a bubble bar like creamy candy, or a normal soap like rock star (these are cheaper options too). Nice enough though and can see why it would be a nice novelty for children etc.
