No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2016

Gemzie - it was very nice of you to give so many lovely things away.

Just to say I should have some OUTs to declare later, I'm doing a 'cleanse' of my items that came in beauty boxes or other things that were cheap and I won't use.

I'm also going through my Avon stock to find things that I've had for a while and haven't sold, nothing is cr*p, it's just that some things don't 'go' with the other items on my stall and tend to make it look messy or not well though-out. Basically it's all new so it will go to the local shelter for the girlies there, hopefully it will cheer their day up a bit.

A very nice list of items there. I absolutely love the Colour Tattoos I own. Which 2 are you hoping to finish?

I can't believe it, I have actually UUed an eyeshadow.

Hoping to finish the lipstick and lipliner. Everything else i'm just hoping to make a dent in.

Not too keen on the 24k but do like the other colour tattoo.

Well done, bet it feels great. Will get there some day, just need to make myself use my makeup every day instead of being a lazy mare and being hit and miss with applying.

I have some outs as Ive sent a swap box and a RAOK (random act of kindness) to some people on Facebook on some groups I go on.

That's a lovely think to do.

I finished a superdrug micelluar water. It was very expensive to day so no I did not replace it. I had a look in superdrug and the prices have risen a lot for the own brand in just a month or so.

I cut the tube for the clinique face mask- one more go left. It is never ending.

L'Occitane had a sale but i resisted. I tried out the Charlotte Tilbury products and was so disappointed the foundation, was a lovely shade but nothing amazing. all the brushes were superglued down and it the eye shadows were nice but nothing that made me go wow. i was expecting something amazing but disappointment. Are they too over hyped?

Another UU S&G Smoothie star mini body butter WMBA

Final UUs

Good Things Five Minute Facial Mask - Liked this, was quite thick but not too strong a scent. WBA

LUSH Rose Jam Shower Gel - I now see what the hype is all about Loved it.

Unidentified Lime soap - this had been hanging around for ages. Don't know what brand it was, but had a nice lather.

Stupidly, it's the travel size products that are hanging around atm. And the Rimmel Primer, I love it, but hate the tube it comes in as it's hard to squeeze the product out.

Haven't bought anything this month, which is a miracle as it's been an awful month and usually that's when I find myself online shopping.
All I will be buying soon is shower gel as I'm down to my last one.

Aww Thankyou I've been obsessively checking the Hermes tracking as can't wait for them to receive the boxes! I have too many lovely things that are sat doing nothing so if they can make someone else smile thats much better than them sitting there waiting for me to get round to using them! I also put sweeties and chocolate in too so hopefully they can both have a good pamper, they are both lovely people who deserve it

I have 3 UU to report tonight:

Bath & body works almond & honey body scrub 226g- WBA I absolutely loved this, smelled amazing and was one of the best scrubs I've used. It was exfoliating without being too scratchy and I didn't end up with scratch marks like I've done with others. It also leaves your skin soft and moisturised and the fragrance stays strongly on the skin for ages after which I loved! I want another but unfortunately these are like gold dust to get hold of now unless you live in USA as think it's been discontinued, there's one on eBay but the shipping is too much to here if I ever see it again though I will re purchase as this was lovely. Will replace with something from stash.

V05 give me moisture treatment hair mask - WBA loved the smell of this, it was the perfect consistency (not too watery) and did the job really well. I have more of these in stash.

Derma v10 vanilla body butter 50ml- WMBA this had started to dry up so I used on my feet. It was a super thick consistency which was great for my feet and it did the job well. The scent was lovely. Might consider getting another of these for feet sometime as they aren't too expensive and did the job just as well as foot cream, and smelled lovely. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of colouring, although this could be to do with the fact it had started to dry up.

It's been a slower month than I expected. I've been rushing around a lot so I didn't finish all my nearly empties - I've just been reaching for whatever is closest to hand and easy to open and apply. So the few almost empty body lotions I have with awkward tops haven't quite got used up. I've prepped a bag which I keep at work with a lip balm, perfume and hand cream - it's helping use them up nicely and I don't have to worry about taking these things to work when I know they are there.

A few guilty purchases to admit to - went into Lush and came out with another lip balm I don't need and a face mask. I'm glad I didn't buy a soap bar as they take ages to use; and I'm glad I didn't buy one of their perfumes (they all smelled a bit off to me). I've bought a few bottles of conditioner which were on Clearance. I'm going to write down my daily expenses so I make sure I buy much less unneeded products. On the plus side, I've avoided spontaneous perfume purchases as I know they will take longer to become UU.

Some more UU (probably the last of the month):

Huggies Pure Baby Wipes (64 pack) - These lasted in a while in my afternoon and did the job. I got them offer but have found cheaper versions equally as good. I will purchase another pack eventually, probably when I'm going to travel somewhere as they come in handy.
Avon Care Glycerine Hand & Nail Rich Moisture Hand Cream 100ml - This was given to me but I would definitely purchase it. I consider this one of my HG hand creams. One tube lasted a long time.

Well done VALM. Just 79 years to go and they will all be gone :rotfl:

Thanks, what a sobering thought! I've used my Smashbox palette today and one of the colours (sadly they don't have names) has quite a dint in it too.
