No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries April 2016

mrs-moneypenny

Morning all
Hope everyone is well
A UU this morning the agent provocateur silk stockings balm, I've used it up as an all over moisturiser today as I noticed that it's started separating while it feels lovley and smooth on my skin after a while it seems to form little beads and roll off my skin. Container now binned it was pretty but made of non recyclable plastic and I really couldn't think of another use for it.

Ooo where are you going? I'm going away as well on Friday on my hen party but I have no idea where I'm going!! All I know is that it involves a plane and my passport :beer::j

This does sound exciting! Have a fantastic time.

You too We Are Ghosts.

No UUs yet although I cut my bottle of Elemis Lime Blossom Balancing Cleanser open this morning however I do have 4 OUTS in the form of sold items on The Bay:-

No 7 Naturally Essential Foundation - liked this though the staying power is not great so am glad I have managed to sell both spares. The tube I have on the go is getting light and I will probably be cutting this open soon and then will try the Rimmel one properly.

Elemis Illuminating Flash Balm (small tube). Of the times that I've used this product I can't say I have noticed any difference at all to my skin so thought someone else could use it who will appreciate it more.

Bath and Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin body lotion. The scrub and shower gel were awful so again thought it best to sell this on to someone who will appreicate it.

Liz Earle Superskin Hand Serum. I got this free from Liz Earle and really was not totally in love with this product when I had a tube of it previously.

Quite pleased with this little lot but think my sales will now slow down (mostly as my stash has depleted!).

Have also repainted my nails and am wearing OPI Royal Rajah Ruby. I love this colour. In fact I loved this whole collection (India Collection, 2008). I own 4 colours from it and love everyone of them.

I pulled out my Benefit very small tub of RSVP cream shadow to use this week and there does not seem to be much product left. Will keep this out in rotation.

See you all later.

Oooh, sounds fun! Let us know where you end up!

Mine doesn't involve a plane, sadly, I'm going to Wales, where it will inevitably rain. But it's a break from the mad house ...

Hi ladies,
I'm in again for April.

Gemzie: the foamy banana shower gel is lovely! Not too overpowering and nice and creamy! I found it in Tesco for 90p!

I have a few products to concentrate on this month:

Clinique lip chubby stick in woppin' watermelon
Malin and Goetz lip moisturiser (carry over)
L'occitane spring cherry moisturiser 75ml (carry over)
French connection body butter 50ml (carry over)
Sanctuary spa green lemon and orange blossom shower gel 75ml
Italian lemon soap
Boots extracts vanilla shower gel 50ml

I am away with work this week, so have packed a few minis to try and use up, so hopefully will have additional UUs thus month.
I have packed mini travel shampoo, conditioner, facial mosturiser and face wash.

The first UU for the month:
Sanctuary spa cleansing burst body wash 75ml

One IN:
Large bar of artisan soap

Have a great day everyone.

Hi everyone, I have five uu already some only had a bit left in them, but still finished nevertheless!

Body shop eye makeup remover - been through so many of these! Would buy again but have moved onto a Waitrose Pure one in the stash.
Ren clarimatte cleansing gel - great wash for the morning, not too foamy but enough to make you feel clean. Not sure I noticed too much oil control but as it is only a wash off product I don't suppose it would do too much anyway. Would buy again.
Clarins hydraquench serum - great for a lightweight hydrating serum. I have had a few of these in GWP's. Would definitely pick this up again in GWP.
Clarins body lotion - another from a GWP! Really like this but would not pay full price! I find this quite moisturising and sinks in very quickly. Again, would pick up in a GWP.
Liz Earle instant boost skin tonic - a great hydrating spritz, i use this in the morning before serum and in the evening after acid toning. Have moved on to another in the stash! I buy the twist up cap bottles and then decant into the large spray bottle as I prefer to use it as a spray

Two UU's today- It's suprising how well I'm doing now I'm conscious of working on one bottle at a time.

Liz earle skin repair moisturiser - Used to be my HG, doesn't seem to be doing much for my dry skin ATM, WBA but maybe in the summer.

No7 Airbrush away primer- I like the idea of primer but never really noticed the difference in make up staying power. I'm not fussed on 'smoothinng' or 'pore minimising' just keeping my slap from sliding off. WNBA

First April UU

Korres Rose Advanced Sleeping Facial. WBA. Has given my skin an amazing glow.

[Deleted User]

Few INs and UUs.
UU
2. Ikea Purple candle. WBA. It was some sort of floral scent. Tunnelled a bit but nothing drastic and I think they're £1.50 so good enough for the price.
3. Vichy Dercos Dermo-Soothing Treatment Shampoo. WDBA. They're hard to track down at the moment, think they're rebranding the packaging. I really rate all their treatment shampoos.
4. Flamingo Candles Dahlia wax melt. WNBA. I've found a lot of the Flamingo scents a bit too artificial. Also the smell wears off long before the wax goes anywhere. Have replaced with Fresh Cotton.

IN
1. Sanex Zero Shower Gel. Got for £1. Needed a fragrance free SG to use on a puff when I have scented bath bombs.
2. Lush Yoga Bomb
3. Lush Tisty Tosty
4. Crabtree and Evelyn La Source hand cream. Went in with my mum to buy my dad's shaving cream and a load of La Source was half-price. Signed up for their loyalty thing and got a free Gardeners hand care gift set then the lady gave us four of those titchy 10g Gardeners ones too. Luckily I like that scent! Split all the freebies with mum and ended up with...
5-8. Gardeners hand cream (2x10g, 1x25g) and cuticle therapy.

Not great on the quantity of INs but it cost barely anything!

I realised halfway through putting on my foundation this morning that I hadn't put on primer but then the foundation lasted better and looked better than normal. Bit strange. I wonder if I'm not letting the primer dry long enough, or leaving it too long?

Is it cheating to focus on single use items and minis to get my UU count up do you think?!

Carolyn I am so tempted by the banana shower gel. Must stay strong lol! I have TBS banana body butter in my stash (had it forever, it's probably not even any good but I was thinking of using for feet if it wasn't), which if it's still okay would go great with this. I don't need it though, I just want it. very tempted that's it's just 90p. Although that's another shower gel to add to the massive numbers so I probably shouldn't. Maybe when I've reduced the stash considerably

I have a UU just now:

Lush santas lip scrub- WMBA wasn't my favourite "taste" I think I much preferred the bubblegum one. It was in date when opened but even though fresh it was more dried out than the bubblegum one I had that wasn't in date when in use! So wasn't as keen on it. I did like that it was Christmassy (opened at Christmas). Might consider this again next Christmas as it was a novelty. In general it did a good job and my lips are always much better when I use it regularly. They aren't cheap but I do enjoy using these scrubs so for me worth it. And they do last a good while. I'm going to replace this with one of the 2 I have in stash, bubblegum or popcorn. It'll depend on which has the shortest date on it as to which will be used next. Can't remember which has the longer date.

Does anyone know if the lip scrub pots count for the free face mask? I can't see any mention on the pots but it took me a while to use.

Eta: I see that TBS has changed their bottles. I personally preferred the look/shape of the ones from before. But then only a toiletry obsessive could be bothered by changes like this. I don't do change

Thanks and I shall. I live in Wales and I can tell you it's not raining now and yesterday was a nice day I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
