No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries May 2016

Gemzie121

Good to see you back kadison! *waves*

I think I may be on the naughty step forever as I have more ins which are all lush stuff:

Lush love spell massage bar
2 x temple of truth bubble bar
Narcotick shower gel 250g
Snowcake shower gel 250g
Black pearl shower gel 250g
Slammer shower gel 250g
Calacas shower gel 250g
Ring of roses buttercream
Night wing shower jelly 100g
Hot toddy shower gel 100g
Key lime pie lip balm
Rub rub rub shower scrub 130g

Need to stop buying lush now because the ins are now over taking the outs :eek: I seem to be really obsessed lately

On the plus side my micellar water should be finished in the morning. I e got a soap & glory one to replace it.

X14 in and I'm off to the naughty step forever :eek:

I have another UU to report.

UU
Creightons Mango & Papaya Balance Bath and Shower 500ml - This was a big bottle and I used about half in the shower and half in the bath. If just used for shower this would be very good value as it only cost me £1 from a budget pharmacy. In my opinion it works better as bath stuff than it does as a shower gel. WNBA though as it contains SLS and I will be going SLS free once I have finished my current stash.

I'm pleased that another shower gel is gone as I have a lot left. The next one to target is a Sanctuary Spa mini which is now half used up. I have a hand cream which is spitting and will take to work tomorrow in the hope that it will be my last UU for May.

Updated May PP list
ARU Borage Cream 30ml - I will carry this one over to June.
Boots Vitamin E Night Cream 50ml - This has about 3-4 uses left.
Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser 200ml - Currently using as make-up remover to use up.
Givenchy Amarige Mariage Eau de Parfum 1ml sample (x4) - Some easy use ups for June.
Nip+Fab Yoga Blend Hand Cream 50ml - This is spitting and I will try to use it up tomorrow/later today.
Ted Baker Cate Eau de Toilette 50ml - There is about 2 drops left but it's found its way into another handbag and I'm not sure where it is now. I will look this weekend and it will be a June use up.

In total I have used up 15 products from my PP list of 25 items with possibly one more use up if the hand cream gives up. Then there's been a few surprise use ups along the way this month.

Welcome back Kadison.

I have my last uu's for May

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil 30ml - WMBA but there are other more easily accessible products which are just as good. I do have another mini in the stash.

Burts Bees Soapbark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream 170g - WBA and already have 2 more tubes in the stash. This size tube lasts a long time, it doesn't foam up so causes no irritation blemish wise, my only issue is if I use it everyday for a prolonged period it is a tad drying.

Two final UUs for the month:

- Urban Veda Soothing Day cream. WDNBA. I'm pretty sure this is what caused my skin issues last week - it just seemed to make my skin very sensitive. Persevered for a while, then gave up and used it up as a body lotion. Didn't like it anyway - a bit too thin, and took a while to absorb/rub in.
- Rodial Stemcell superfood facial oil, 10ml sample. WPNBA. Nice, but I've used better. Cute little dropper bottle which I'll keep to decant oils or serums when travelling.

So I'm now on the last day cream, serum, and facial oil in my stash! My cupboard actually has a bit of space, wheeeeeee

The biggest problem areas remaining are cleansers, eye cream, primers, and body lotions/oils. But progress is being made

3 UU to report:

V05 nourish my shine shampoo 250ml- WBA v05 are a HG for me - my heir seems to get on well with them and I love the scent, consistency and how soft my hair feels. They tick every box

V05 nourish my shine conditioner 250ml- WBA for the same reasons as above.

Superdrug b.pure micellar water 150ml- WMBA this was okay it did do the job and lasted for ages but it made my eyes sting if I tried to use it to take off my make up, which others haven't. I've got a soap and glory one to replace this.

Final UUs, a flurry at the end of the month


Amie Matt Finish Moisturiser - sample size - liked this, WBA
Korres Basil Lemon Shower Gel - sample size - fine for holidays, probably wouldn't fork out for the full size, lathers nicely though
L'Occitane Shampoo and Conditioner - sample sizes - wasn't very keen on the shampoo, not much lather, but liked the conditioner

PP List for May -

[STRIKE]Dove Straightening Serum[/STRIKE] - I don't know how this is keeping going!
Good Things Five Minute Facial Face Mask
Stella McCartney L.I.L.Y Perfume
Silvikrin Hairspray
[STRIKE]L'Occitane Shampoo and Conditioner - travel size
Korres Basil Lemon Shower Gel[/STRIKE] - travel size
Bloom and Blossom Showel Gel - travel size
Batiste Dry Shampoo - travel size
Mark Hill Shine Spray - travel size
[STRIKE]Amie Matt Finish Moisturiser - travel size[/STRIKE]

On the plus side, I haven't bought anything this month (and I made it out of TK Maxx today with just a set of clothes hangers )
Also found a HG ... a Vitamin C serum that I got to test for free. My face has had a spot-free month! I hope it continues and it's not a fluke!

See you all in June
