No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries May 2016

Hermia

56) UU Vichy Aqualia Thermal moisturiser - WNBA as it wasn't rich enough and I have ended up with some dry patches.

I have brought a 10ml tube of L'occitane shea hand cream with me to work which has been scrunched up to get the last remains from it. Hope to finish it today.

And this has now gone. I have brought with me today the tube of Boots Florence Anne Pachouli and Clove handcream. It's feeling squishy so think it will be cut open over the weekend.

Patchouli & Clove sounds right up my street.

I have some uu's

Clarins Eau Ressourcante Skin Scent 100ml - This is lovely and quite unisex, WMBA but I have the Eau Dynamisante on the go and a Jardins one in the stash.

Elemis Pro Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm 15ml - WBA, I have more in the stash this size and a full size. My skin looks plump and dewy when I use this, I use it as a moisturiser and primer. It smells amazing too.

Me again, I forgot to say I woke up this morning to find a fawn in my garden, it was completely trapped (as in couldn't get out not tangled), it was the most adorable little thing with tiny hooves and antlers. I rang the RSPCA - not much help, they said to open the gates and let it out - straight onto the road. I did and it caused quite a stir, squealing brakes and a pedestrian nearly knocked over:eek:. Anyway it ran off in the direction of the fields where they live so fingers crossed it gets back to it's Mum.

Smells just like Christmas.

Finished a lancome cleanser. WNBA it as a travel size GWP. It was very watery and would not buy again.

Lancome toner wnba skin stung after using this. I have a big clarins toner to use up in the stash which is more gentle and smells lovely.

Micelluar water garnier (calling my broker to buy shares in garnier- holy grail!)

Crème de la mer the concentrate tester- it is ok. Moisturising but how on earth could I justify the price when vichy aqua range is as good. WNB – it is just not worth the money.

Finally finished boo boo oil- WBNA. It was alright but have more in the stash. Smelt lovely.

Finished two avene d pigmentation testers. WNBA. It is all right, but nothing remarkable used it as a skin moisturizer as did little for the face.

Finished caudalie divine oil- wonderful stuff. It was replaced. It is unique smelling, it grows on you but it gives a lovely base under make up and night treatment. This will have to high up on the holy grail list.

In
Micelluar water garnier (holy grail- they will have to price a bottle from my cold dead hands when I die- hell bury it with me. I love this)

Got a big balm cleanser NIA- it’s a natural balm. This stuff is so moisturising, I forgot to apply anything else before I feel asleep and my skin was still great in the morning. Got a free tester so I tried before the purchase and finished it.

Cauldalie divine oil mini (much cheaper to buy smaller sizers than a big bottle. There is no logic in the pricing per ml}

Cauldalie cleansing oil travel size (test before I buy a full size!)

Caudalie polyphenol c15 moisturiser

Revelution make up spray- hopefully it will prevent the foundation being sweated off in the summer. It really works as at least the foundation and blush does not need any retouching. It is great stuff, I thought it is better than urban decay.

Cauldalie detox face mask (loved this one when I tested it before)

Rimmel transculent powder- to set the foundation.

neostratra pads that caroline hirons recommended to replace the skin smoothie 10% glycolic acid. neostratra pads feel more powerful despite having the same level of aha's. they are very effective and would highly recommend if you love acid peels and are very experienced with acids.

I have a couple of UU so far from this weekend but I hope to have a few more by the end of tomorrow. I've been out a lot since it's a 3 day music festival this weekend. I used up a few things when getting ready to go out tonight:

UU
Montagne Jeunesse Face Food Cucumber & Apple Revitalising Mask 6ml - I really liked this sachet and there was enough product for two applications. It soothed some acne and it wasn't too drying. My face was a little dry afterwards but moisturiser helped. I think this mask is effective as my face felt cleaner. I have 1 more sachet left in the stash. WDBA.
Baylis & Harding Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Bath Soak Salts 250g - I used up the last of these salts today and they probably went as far as 5-6 baths. I'm not sure what to say about this product. I think they were nice salts but no results which make me eager to purchase it. I have some Epsom salts in my stash so I will use them next. I got this as a gift from a friend and I can't really fault it but nothing 'wow' about it either. WMBA.

I have a few hand creams which are close to finishing and they are in my handbag for the music festival this weekend so I hope they use up.

I have some ins and Uu's to report!

The UU first:

Dove beauty hand cream 75ml- WMBA this was probably nice when it was new but it had gone watery and the scent had gone funny so I used it on my feet for which it was fine - did the job. It was old when I got it anyway as I won it in a bundle on eBay ages ago. If I can re purpose something I will

Avon naturals yum berry & yogurt hair mask- WBA lovely scent and this was of a decent consistency - not watery! My only gripe with Avon hair masks is that the pots could be bigger in size for the price. But I'd still get this again as love the shell and my hair seems to get on well with these. Got more of these in stash.

Soap & glory scrub your nose in it 125ml - WBA the scent was ok and I liked that this was multi purpose - you can leave it on longer as there's a face mask built in. I mostly used it as a normal face scrub though. For which it did the job ok. Could have been a little scrubbier, but it did agree with my skin. Need to find a scrub in stash to replace this.

Avon naturals vanilla whip - WMBA I loved the scent of this but wasn't keen on the pearl/shimmer effect. If I used it on my feet overnight it left white powder marks the next day which was annoying. It was quite thin/light in consistency so better for summer use but it did the job ok. Got more of these in stash but wouldn't rush to re purchase it. If they got rid of the pearl/shimmer I'd of been thrilled with it.

Bomb cosmetics cranberry lime bath blaster- WMBA it's a pretty looking bomb and I loved the scent but hated the little cranberry seeds - made a real mess in my bath afterwards and they just seemed pointless to me. Got another in stash.

Johnsons essentials daily eye make up remover pads- WMBA they did the job fairly well (although didn't get my eye liner off as well as normal face wipes) and they were gentle. However the pads were a little fluffy for my liking if that makes sense. I have another of these in stash anyway. They were nice to try out.

Montagne jeunesse Dead Sea mud pac sachet- WMBA - this was okay - made my skin feel softer but I did think it smelled a lot like the toilet cleaner/bleach my mum uses! Got more of these in stash anyway.

Ins:

2 x Aldi mouthwash (can't remember which as I'm at work ATM but they are blue and purple and the alcohol free ones).
Aldi hair conditioning spray (Aussie dupe)
Aldi hair conditioning mask (Aussie dupe)

Lush joy of jelly shower jelly
Lush dragons egg bath bomb

X 6 in

Should have another out tomorrow as my shower gel is nearly used up, and possibly more ins as think I have some lush stuff waiting at the sorting office to be collected. Oh and I bought some bits with the last of my birthday pennies yesterday but am at work and can't remember the whole list so I'll declare when I'm at home with the reciept lol! I'm still waiting for several lush things I bought online various places too and starting to worry as its been a while!

Another UU last night : ABC Tea tree skin wash. Tipped the last into my bath last night. Have another litre bottle to UU. WDBA when that is UU.

Don't think I have many things that will be UU now. Will take stock when I tidy/clean the bathroom later.

1 UU this morning:

Tesco girlz only dawn till dusk dry shampoo- WBA liked the scent of this one and it did the job fine. I get on well with these ones. Got more dry shampoos in stash so need to find one to replace this.
