No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2016

getmyacttogether2016

Morning all

Have been staying at the OH this weekend (he works away from home) and have a couple more UU's as this is from what I leave there.

UU's
Gillette clear gel deodorant 70ml - WBA and have a couple more in stock. Will need to take another one for when next stay there.
Listerene zero mouthwash 1l - WBA but not this flavour as not too keen. Again will need to take another for when next stay there.
Daisy eau so fresh 1.2ml - WBA and have a full size waiting to be used.

INs
NYX mascara in mint julep
NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk

Am back home now and looks like I will have a few more in the next couple of days as lots of what I chose for my PP (beginning of month but only recently posted) were things that I had put on hold and majority didn't have much left in them.

Will have a think about my 7 by autumn and will update within the next couple of days.

Take care all

I forgot a few IN's:
NYX jumbo in yoghurt
NYX eyebase in skintone
both are nice and happy I bought them, must use up 2 things however to make up for these INS.

Hi, everyone is welcome. You can choose how you do, some list al, some post a project pan list ( things they are targeting for the month) others just post things that they use up and what IN's they have.

UU's
45) Lush bathos bubble bar WBA love the scent and have lots in stock as it as a favourite.

46) Lush Ne worry pas bath bomb WBA pairs well with the above.

47 & 48) snowcake soap WBA one I turned into a scrub and one as soap.

49) Clarol hair conditioner WNBA did not make any difference to my hair but worked well to shave with, the last one as these were 3 for £1 and obviously I don't seem to be a able to resist.

50) 4 seasons sheet mask in aloe WNBA prefer others

51) Benton snail bee high content mask WMBA good fit but the eye holes are not cut out so I have to be careful and fold them down.

Even I am not sure how I have hit 50 UUs already this month, oh well will keep on plugging away.

You have some amazing Lush stuff!

Another UU today:-

Benefit Sun Beam highlighter. WDNBA. I bought this some years ago and with all cheek products by Benefit was not very impressed when applying it as I straps it did not show up on my olive skin. When I entered it into this challenge I was slathering it on on top of my priner. Could still not see it so glad it's gone. I now only have three highlighters (all powder): Bobbi Brown sBronze Shimmerbrick (the oldest), Laura Geller Ballerina and Urban Decay Angel (part of Gwen Stefani palette). Will pull out my B one next.

Gemzie121, I have smelt the British Rose already. I think it's a really nice fresh pure rose scent without being too sweet or too powdery but I can see what you mean. If you like your rose scents to be more like Lush Rose Jam, the Body Shop one simply wouldn't cut it!

Couple of UUs:
9. Collection Clear Mascara. WDBA. I have already replaced this. I use it as brow gel and it does the job
10. Maybelline Brow Drama Brow Mascara. WNBA. It's ok but the brush is a ball shape and even though I have fairly wide brows it's tricky to use. The medium brown is a good colour for me though so if they changed the brush I would buy it again.

More INs! June's been bad!
34&35. No7 Stay Perfect Foundation and the Superlight version. They were buy one get on half price plus the very nice SA let me use the voucher they always give out for No7 on the purchase so pretty good deal. I got colour matched as Cool Vanilla which is fine but it does oxidise a bit and it's a bit more pink-toned than I'm used to. I think my Rimmel Ivory one is neutral toned. Should be fine for summer but will look at the lighter shade later in the year. Or I might get some of those colour adjuster things they do in Body Shop or NYX. I've used the Superlight two days running and I'm very impressed with it so far.
36. No7 cleansing wipes. Got these with the other half of the voucher. I would never pay £7 for these but they are very soft so worth it with the £5 voucher. After I'd had my own foundation on fr 10 hours then patches of other ones on to test I just wanted it all off my face there and then!
37. NYX eyeshadow - Golden Peach. Couldn't resist this while in Boots. It's so lovely.
38. Barry M eyeshadow. No name. Got a pack of 2 of these in Poundland. There was a load of Barry M nail polishes too. This shadow is a really lovely peachy champagne. Works really well to blend out the NYX one above. I will GA to SIL the other from the pack as it is exactly the same.
39. Original Source Eucalyptus Shower Gel. Poundland again. I wanted something refreshing. This is one marketed for men but I don't really understand why. It just smells nice and fresh.

Hope everyone's had a good weekend!

The Body Shop Vitamin C Daily Moisturiser SPF30 50ml - WDBA, I love this stuff and the 'zing' it gives your skin
The Body Shop Vitamin C Energizing Face Spritz 100ml - WNBA, this doesn't do much in comparison to the cream or to the L'Occitane face spritzes I usually use

Good morning ladies, though the weather here is miserable.

No more UUs as yet but I do have a few items that I think will be gone this week:-

Poo Pourri - anyone heard of this stuff? A friend bought it for me and I don't think I'd repurchase. Must be other things that you can spray down the loo to neutralise the nasty niffs??

Elemis PCMC - small tube. Cut open with only a couple of applications left.

Mark Hill Straightening Serum. Tube has started to make the pht sound that means it will be cut open soon.

Maybelline Dream BB cream. Tube is feeling light.

Mandara Spa Mango and Coconut body butter. Have hit pan.

Repainted my nails last night and am wearing OPI Royal Rajah Ruby. Love this colour though I noticed that I was not getting much product on my brush last night so could be nearing it's end. It's discontinued too which is a real shame.

Wilko skin therapy cotton pads - a few used from this pack. I have another sealed pack of Primark cotton pads which i will move on to next and a sealed pack of the big oval ones from Primark I will eventually be left with.
2x Simple eye makeup remover pads - a couple used from 1 pack and the other pack is sealed. Using for anything right now as eventually want rid of these as i have a bottle of remover in the stash i feel i will find easier to use.
Oh baby! cotton buds - only have about 8 or 10 left in this pack which i have been using for my ears( i know, naughty naughty!) and have another pack from Primark in the stash which i will use for anything(but ears if i can help it! :rotfl: )
Wilko functional face wipes - I find these literally the most useful item on the planet! I use these not just on my face, but even for wiping up a spill on a hard surface. I have 2 packs of Simple micellar wipes in the stash but i want to continue using Wilko ones while using up my unnecessary toiletries. I only have a few left in this packet so will repurchase when out and about on Saturday.
No. 7 soft and soothed toner - This is years old and only seems to get used as and when i remember it's existence! Only about a fifth of the product left so going to make a conscious effort to get it used up(this month ideally).
Simple purifying cleansing lotion - This was supposed to be part of my stash but i started using it with the Wilko cotton pads when i got up one morning and realised i had no face wipes left! So now it is on the list as i have a bottle of micellar water in the stash, the micellar wipes and some Simple face wash in the shower.
Nivea express hydration primer - definitely not a proper primer like you get from makeup brands. It is a massive amount of product for what you use on each application. Can see me binning this before it is used up as it's been open a while and only used it a handful of times.
FCUK for her - this is my signature scent right now. Ever since i opened it on new years i have, almost without fail, sprayed some on myself before leaving the house. There is still quite a lot left though. I have the lady gaga fragrance in the stash to move onto when this is finished.
Impulse vanilla kisses - this is just a back up spray if I'm just going somewhere quickly and just so happen to forget to use my FCUK.
Rimmel BB cream - bought 2 by accident, this one got opened first, so using this one as and when i fancy a bit of coverage if I've had a breakout etc. The other is in the stash, still sealed.
Avon colourtrend black eyeliner - mum passed this on to me without even opening it so I'm doing the honours of using it up. You know what they say about eye makeup though so this one may see the bin before i see it turn into a nub.
Avon supershock black mascara - same as above.
Ciate glitterball mini - I got this in a mystery deal from Groupon. It's still sealed, I'm just waiting for the remains of polish to grow out from my toenails. I don't have any polish remover as i get my fingernails shellac'd and normally leave my toenails well alone, but i bought some nice sandals for summer and this colour will look lovely on my toenails when i wear my sandals. - Opened this up and started using yesterday
Gillette shave foam - this was actually bought for my partner but he doesn't like wet shaving so he gave it to me. I'm not fussed what i use when shaving but i do feel you pay a premium when buying shave items aimed at women.
Dove firming lotion - bought to go with the adidas shower gel further down the list but started using it now with my current dove shower creams as this lotion is double the size of any of the shower things.
2x Dove shower cream - these formed part of a set along with a poufe mum got but she doesn't use things like this so I'm using it all.
Adidas firming shower gel - this one will start getting used after the dove ones to go with the dove firming lotion then I'll just have 2 different branded and scented shower gels i can alternate between.
Carmex lip balm with SPF - bought this on a whim as i was shopping with friends and they were throwing all sorts into their baskets and i just followed suit :rotfl: my lips just do their own thing and no lip balm helps or hinders so i just want this gone.

I opened up the Ciate Glitterball mini yesterday as my toenails are finally back to their original state and was looking forward to painting this onto my nails, only to discover it is literally just a clear polish with bits of glitter in.

Now I'm trying to decide whether to keep using it or bin it. It seems more like a polish that you would paint on over a colour to give it some sparkle but I don't want to buy another nail polish just for that when I usually leave my toenails alone. This is No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries after all :rotfl:
