No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2016

IKEA damage done so 19 candles in! Whoops! In my defence I burn candles every day and hardly ever go to IKEA so this will last me a while. Also, these were all either 50p, 85p or £2 so in the long run much cheaper than buying elsewhere.

Also an unexpected UU: Superdrug Simply Pure Hydrating Serum. WDBA. Lovely serum and very good value, it lasted ages. Will repurchase if I see on offer or once I've finished my Vitamin E one.
And a TA. I've given up on Hand Chemistry Hand Cream. I think it smells awful, isn't moisturising and leaves my hands feeling very tacky.

VALM I have used the NYX Badunkadunk Mascara for three days and I'd give it 7 out of 10. It's a very big brush and quite spiky. It does give a nice look; fanned out and good length. I did find it flaked a bit today but not over the weekend for some reason.
I'm really disappointed with the Over the Taupe eyeshadow I got at the same time. It's a lovely colour but very sheer and I'm finding it hard to build up so that's a bit of a shame.
My Tarte TSV dispatched today. So exciting!

The Hand Chemistry hand cream is supposed to be amazing and it makes some big claims on the tube if I remember. I have a tube in the stash from a beauty box so I will be interested to see how I fare with it.

I have a uu

Glamglow Mud Mask 15ml - this is the one in the black tube, I love the tea scent that this has and also find it very effective but it is outrageously expensive for mud so WNBA I don't think.

UU of M&S mascara. It was from a set I had years and years ago but had never used, it didn't last very long and I didn't find it very good.

Have got a maybeline one that I had free for doing a 5k (the goody bags were strange, also had a lipstick and some sun cream) but have just put in an order with ELF. All things that I know are shortly running out and thought I'd try something different so not really naughty ins.

I still have an over whelming amount of benefit make up. I've used a lot up but I have a few lip stains and blushers that I want gone. They're all opened so I'm not sure if I can sell them on the bay of e?

I do want to try Glamglow products but the price is just too :eek:.

Emma has sent me photos of the TSV which has arrived at home. Can't wait to try it myself.

1 UU's and 2 IN's (well actually 3 UU's and 4 IN's but my sunscreen and vit C serum were replaced by the exact same thing so I'm not bothering to count them!)

UU: Cat lip balm, was present so can't repurchase
INs: Superdrug Vit E hot cloth cleanser X 2. My Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean seems to be breaking me out, so I'm going back to this HG (buy one get one half price). Any suggestions on way to repurpose the S&G cleanser or should I chuck it? Not sure I can use it as a body wash as it's a cream cleanser.

Give it a try as a body wash, it might be ok. Otherwise maybe as a shave gel? Anything creamy tends to work ok for that. I'm using a hair balm I don't like as a shave gel at the moment :rotfl:

No UU for me, just one essential in - hair dye. Will use tonight or tomorrow. I never stash this, juts buy as needed.

Painted my nails with Orly Miss Conduct over the weekend. I looooove the colour (very disco), but for some reason this particular polish is quite runny, so it's tough to keep out of my cuticles :S Also chipped quickly, boo.

Now have an old favourite on - Nails Inc queensgate terrace. A little more muted, but so glossy (no topcoat!) and lasting really well

I might have a UU later, I've been getting through my body lotions and face creams by mixing them with brown sugar and using them as a scrub.

Sometimes I use more expensive stuff but it's better to use what I have than spend more money buying a new scrub, plus I've spent £35 on a scrub before and it's been useless! At least this way I get the right consistency

Some UUs

58) Cafe de Bain Cherry and Almond Frangipane shower cream - WBA.

59) Dove Anti-P - WBA.

60) Clarins Gloss in Candy - WNBA, too glittery for me.

UUs
21) grapefruit glycerine soap WNBA bought for me at Christmas, did not lather and very boring.

22) snowcake shower gel WBA love the scent of this, plenty of bubbles have one remaining but it is expensive for what it is. Have plenty of shower gels to get though.

23) cocoa and yuzu bubbleroon WNBA these don't do it for me, since they have changed the formula it contains too much colour and even with a quarter your bath is quite a horrible yellow colour.

24) Origins plantscription serum 15ml WNBA nice enough, this was a generous sample freebie with an order last year.

25) Cinders bath bomb WBA love the scent of this.

VALM

2 UUs from my PP list :-

Essie Goid to go top coat
Bath and Bidy Wirks pocketbac
Various sample sachets
Various eye masks
Juicy Couture Couture La La perfume sample
Liz Earle IBST 200ml
[STRIKE]Lush Porridge soap[/STRIKE]
Clinique Highlights mascara
Benefit Sunbeam highlighter
[STRIKE]L'Occitane Bon mere rose soap[/STRIKE]

Finished both of these in the shower this morning. They were so squishy that I squeezed them until they were pulp and then threw the pulp down the loo to stop the shower drain getting bunged up. Of course, I can't replace the Porridge for this reason however I have found a tube of Jack Wills Hope Cove Body Scrub that I can use. I am fairly sure taht is the last body scrub that I have at all.

Loved the Bon Mere soap and would repurchase but not in rose fragrance. I have a bottle of L'Occitane Verbena shower gel on the go at the moment which has a qurater product left so will use this before pulling out a new soap/shower gel unless I get bored.

Of all the other products I'm making good progress although. I think I need to put some nail polish thinner in the top coat as it was so gloopy last night when I repainted my nails. Am now wearing OPI Do You Take Lei Away. One of the nails is a real mess because of the state of the top coat.

Have been generous in my application of hte pocketbac these last couple of days and want to finish it today. Have it out on my desk at work.

I also went through a lot of the perfume sample yesterday but today am wearing my new L'Occitane Violette and Rose de Mai perfume.

I have decanted the last of the IBST into my 30ml spritzer and this usually lasts a good couple of weeks.

Both my mascara and highlighter are feeling drier on application ie I don't think there's much product being loaded onto their brushes.
