No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries May 2016

Couple of Uu's to report:

Cow shed cow pat hand cream 50ml- WMBA this smelt okay, did the job well. Not sure if it's even still available though as I've had it quite a while. Got plenty of hand creams in stash anyway.

Boots heavenly aloe, chamomile & jasmine face mask sachet - WBA but I believe these are discontinued. It has an odd scent but I don't mind it. Left my skin nice and soft. I have a few more of these stashed.

I have a uu

Rituals White Lotus & Yi Yi Ren Calming Bed & Body Mist 50ml - this came in an All Boxed Up set I think, it was nice spritzed on bed linen but the scent didn't last. I have another in the stash to use but WNB.

No more UUs as yet however was quite chuffed with how my makeup looked this morning. Used my Maybelline Colour Tattoo shadow in Eternal Gold topped with Urban Decay Half Baked from Naked palette together with Urban Decay OC blusher from the Gwen Stefani blush kit and on my lips I wore a Sephora lip stain called Peony. Not a big fan of this stain as it is very drying but overall pleased with how everything looked.

I finished the Vaseline hand cream today, it was a 200ml bottle:eek: of the Intensive Care and it lasted an eternity. I have another bottle in the stash but have moved onto something different for now.

My 7 for Summer items are really hanging on but I haven't lost hope yet:D

A UU of one of my freebies - L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Renew Replumping Serum 30 ml
WIB? No, not this one. It is perfectly acceptable in its way but it's only 16ml which just isn't enough for what it does.
I used it around my eyes and mouth to start with, but it's very thin for an intensive product, so in the end I just used it as I would a standard serum.

I've had some Burts' Bees baby ointment arrive which I want to use to treat any soreness I might get from cycling. I normally use Sudocrem, so we'll see how this performs.

How do you apply this colour tattoo, I have several colours but this one always applies patchily?

I made a cuppa this afternoon and did a lip product purge. This is what I have got rid of today in phase 1:

Natural Collection Sweet Pea - to pale and shimmery
Clinique Extreme Pink - darker but still too shimmery
Calvin Klein Flutter - too brown

DD took the following off my hands:

Estee Lauder Candy Shimmer - too pale and shimmery
No7 Stay Perfect Grace - too brown
No7 Moisture Drench Pink Crush - too old fashioned for me

So 6 lippies out of my collection and I also have a bunch of others which are going to be used over the next week or so and if I don't like them they will be going to.

Hello everyone!

Im most definitely on the naughty step, had my love lula and vegan kind beauty box come and then went on a trip to London via the charlotte tilbury shop and a natural beauty shop so i could finally scope out concealer colours in person :eek:

thought id found a cruelty free replacement for my HG bobbi brown corrector the Jane Iredale version. colour is the same but coverage is nowhere near the bobbi brown and the vapour one i got is acceptable for day but nothing more. the search continues!

UU
Elemis - travel size flash balm - WBA, my skin does really like this.
Aveda - travel size conditioner - WMBA still not convinced its worth the price tag.
Lyons leaf body butter - WBA this sunk in really well for a proper body butter
TWA birds bath salts - WMBA but it was just epsom salt and essential oils that i can probably get cheaper and make myself!
Urban Decay foundation sample - have already bought full size!
charlotte tilbury - travel size MUR - WMBA but it does nothing different to others.
Urban Veda - travel size cleanser - WNBA, my skin doesn't appear to like this!
Origins -spot gel, this had started to go really gloopy and i think it was two years old! got a bottle of tea tree oil to replace with - back to basics as it works just as well!!

Can anyone recommend a good eye primer? I tried my new 24hr colour tattoo on my eyes today for work, applied it about 11am and once I got home it was all gone although I didn't check my appearance until about 11pm once I'd been out with friends. I'm currently using a MUA eye primer from Superdrug but it's starting to slowly run out so I need to find something good to replace it with when it finally runs out.

My month has been pretty slow too. I'm starting to run out of things I can use up quickly but I'm taking aim at some bigger bottles as well now. I know that 500ml bottle of Baylis & Harding body lotion will take forever to use up but I've used it twice and can already see the dent in it. I'm using it at nights since I don't like the scent much. It's so good using up something big as it feels like I'm freeing up so much space.

Copied from April:
My 7 by summer list is:
[STRIKE]Benefit long wear powder shadow in call my buff (pan)[/STRIKE]
Benefit long wear powder shadow in kiss me, I'm tipsy
Benefit long wear powder shadow thanks a latte (pan)
[STRIKE]Benefit long wear powder shadow in gilt-y pleasure (pan)[/STRIKE]
Paul Smith Sunshine (won't UU but want to remember to wear it every day)
Tony & Guy Sea Salt Spray
[STRIKE]Any face mask that I buy (I'm terrible at buying and then leaving them sit in the fridge!)[/STRIKE]

My list is slightly unconventional but I find this is what works best for me. I feel guilty if I don't use them if they're on a list here so I guess whatever works eh!

It's all going pretty well and I'm using everything regularly. I'm finding the eye shadows are now really difficult to get onto my brushes so am struggling with them.

My PP list for this month is:
Superdrug Cocoa Butter
Benefit It's Potent Eye Cream
Benefit Toning Lotion
Benefit Total Moisture Face Cream
Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish

Updated 7xSummer list. Feel it's going pretty well although I had totally forgotten about the sea salt spray so will try and put that to the front to remind me.

As for this month's PP I think I'll have a UU tomorrow of the toning lotion and the other benefit items will be done by the end of the month. The cocoa butter has less than an inch left in the bottle but seems to be holding on for dear life!
