No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries May 2016

maddie - hope you enjoy your hols.

Elizabeth - you have done a very good job with those lipsticks in palettes, I am rubbish at using lipstick/gloss from palettes, I can never be bothered with them.

Back in for May - last few months have not been kind to me but May IS going to different! Had a bit of a perfume buying splurge but nothing else of late but also haven't really used anything either but this going to change - starting today!

Me too. I always got fed up of applying lip products with a brush and they ended up looking so messy. Fab photo again Elizabeth.

I'm in again. Will post my makeup basket and PP list when I tidy the bathroom later.

The remainder of my 7 for Summer challenge is:-

Benefit Boing concealer. This will be UUED in the next day or so as I am scraping product from around the rim. Have a mini replacement of this.

Benefit Lemon Aid
Laura Geller Bronze n Brighten
Smashbox Illume lipgloss

Have pulled out Sephora by OPI Break a Leg Warmer to UU this month. Not a Spring colour I know but one that I love.

I had a shower this morning and finished a Soap & Glory mini body butter as expected. I also unexpectedly used up a serum which I have replaced with one from the stash. The serum is in a white bottle so I couldn't tell how much of it I had used.

S&G Sugar Crush Body Buttercream 50ml - I really liked this although I prefer the original Soap & Glory scent. I would definitely buy this again as I liked the scent and consistency.
Sanctuary Spa Firming Youth Serum 30ml - I can't testify whether it does what it says it does - I didn't notice any particularly firming effect but then again, I'm not quite old enough to have developed a lot of wrinkles. I'm sure that will happen before I know it ha ha. I got this at a reduced price at the Original Factory Shop and would probably only buy it again at a reduced price as I've used cheaper serums before which have performed just as well.

I'm in again on this

Going to go at it hammer and tongs this month as I have 3 weeks off work starting in a weeks time

Count me in again. I should be a far better at not buying this month.

thanks for the new thread WeAreGhosts!

im also hammering the travel sizes at the moment, i have the bobbi brown empties sets so theres no point me saving purpose made travel sizes when i can decant into those. i figure i may as well get them all used before they go off waiting for me to have a holiday and they get the UU target up!

Thank you for starting the thread, We Are Ghosts.
I am back, having been well de-railed by dozens of Am@zon freebies. In my defence, I have only bought one shampoo, one conditioner, one shower gel and three foot-creams this year, along with wipes and cotton wool pads.
Every time I look like needing something I usually get offered it but the latest offer of foot cream arrived after the fantastic 10% urea one was on Specialbuy at A!di.

I hope you are all well, hello to anyone I haven't 'met' yet and hello again to those who know me well.

Anyone know how to upload photo via IRL on iPad? I used to use photo bucket but it now looks like it is full of pop up ads. Anyhow if not I've UUed my Benefit Boing concealer. I have a Benefit mini Boing and Eyebright to UU next.

My PP list

Face mask samples and packets
Eye mask packets
Elemis PCMC
Hand Sanitizer
OPI Avojuice on my work desk
Boots Florence Anne Grapefruit and Lime hand cream
OPI Nude Nail Envy
The Orange Tree Orange Blossom and Neroli body lotion.
Boots Nail polish remover
Yes to Carrots wipes

List above made up of items that I need to make the effort to use : all masks, hand sanitizers and the Avojuice at work, items that should be finished: PCMC, hand cream, nail polish remover, Nail Envy and wipes. Have added the body lotion as it is only a 50ml tub. Should be in the category of effort needed to as it is just as bad as the body scrub. Is very watery.

For my makeup this month I have pulled out my Benefit World Naturals kit along with my Naked palette, a Laura Geller shimmery shadow and an Avon duo. For blush I've pulled out my Urban Decay Gwen Stefani kit, Laura Geller ethereal blush and Benefit Rockateur and Dandelion. Only have one eyeliner out : UD Zero and one mascara : Clinique High length?

It's amazing how long some of this stuff lasts. I tried on a nail polish which has to be over 35 years old before I throwed it away. All 10 nails covered with no clumps. Respect to Miners. Guess it gets to live until I finally finish it.
Was given two bars of French soap. Opened one. The World's Driest Soap Ever. Will reuse for laundry before it kills my hands for the open one. Gave the other to a food bank where hopefully a non-dry skin user will find it useful.
OTOH. Reorganised the recent sample blaggings into brand stashes. I have a ridonculous amount of samples. Though the Visionaire Nuit is continuing to send the red veins back where they should be and is continuing to normalise my skin on my face from red horror. I just have to remember not to use moisturiser on top of the serum or my skin goes into breakout overdrive.
