No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2016

VALM

Another UU for me from my PP List : Polaar Polar Nuit cream. This came in a Birchbox. Did not like the balm consistency of this and it did not make my skin feel great. WDNB. Have opened a tube of Nuxe Prodigeuse for night cream. First impression is that it is gorgeous.

All of a sudden I appear to be running out of things. Here's a quick list :-

Cleanser - am trying to be frugal and use less as I don't want to have to replace these this month.

Pixi Glow Tonic. Same applies and I think I will have to resort to only using LE IBST if this runs out before payday unless I see a mega deal for this.

Foundation. As mentioned above I've ordered a sample. Am going to try and get by using the BB cream and Balance n Brighten til payday.

Primer. Am watching some on EBay but do have a mini tube of No7 to use too.

Liquid soap. As a family we love L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap. Most other hand wash dries my skin and this doesn't. We are on the very last drops of this in the bathroom. Am planning a trip to the Trafford Centre on Monday night and was intending to pick up an eco refill in store however there was a TSV on QVC yesterday which I avoided as it consisted mostly of the Almond Oil and we have plenty of that. Anyway MRM was out and Emma had retreated to her room so I found myself watching the 10pm show. There was a One Time Only deal of 2 X Eco bags plus full sized handcream for £28.90. Seemed rude not to order as I'm also getting low on handcream too. I have the Florence Anne tube which I think I'll be cutting open today, a tube of S&G Hand Food on my desk at work which is fairly new and in stash only 2 X 10ml of the L'Occitane Shea handcream so I will run out at home fairly soon.

Some INs for me, but within my monthly budget of £20 plus whatever vouchers or gift cards I can scrounge (and there were a few of those this month):
Vichy Aqualia Serum - this is amazing and I've just used my previous pot up, makes a huge difference to my skin
Vichy day moisturiser - my other day moisturiser is spluttering (admittedly a cheapy Garnier one that was £1.25 - but one in, one out, fine . . .)
Rimmel Colourist mascara, supposed to tint eyelashes darker over time, mine are invisibly fair
Rimmel Sculping Pallette - because Rimmel was buy one, get one half price, and I only have nine highlighters and eighteen blushes . . .
NYX lipstick in Strawberry Daquiri, I think I fell for this just because of the name but actually the colour is lovely too

Plus one UU, the aforementioned Vichy serum. This makes a huge difference to my early-30s fine lines and it's noticeable if I miss more than a couple of days of application.

So that's me on the naughty step, or at least the "you don't have any more budget for that young lady" step, for the rest of the month :rotfl:

Deleted_User, I looove decluttering videos - whose are you watching? Beauty with Emily Fox is doing a series at the moment that I'm enjoying - I think she's the only non-project panner that I really watch, because she's Canadian and therefore I can't buy the things she raves about!

Is the Rimmel palette the one with the coral blush, highlighter and bronzer? Everytime I see that I want it but I already have loads of blush/bronzer/highlighter and rarely use anything except blush.

VALM - you always seem so sensible about your purchases. I wish I was.

I have a uu

My Little Beauty Face Mist - WNBA, I used this as toner and a face mist and it didn't do much at all, it didn't feel hydrating in any way. I couldn't buy again even if I wanted to anyway.

Hi ladies!
I'm in again for this month, sorry I'm a bit late. I was MIA last month, but was still trying to decrease the stash, i think i had a neutral June though

Must try harder in July!

UUs so far:
TBS honeymania shower gel 750ml
Get fruity mango body butter 50ml
Imperial leather coconut and tiare flower shower gel 250ml
Nivea essentials lip balm -TA (it got accidentally washed in the washing machine)

INs:
2x Nivea creme care soaps

Have a great Sunday ladies.

hello ladies, really enjoyig reading all the UUs and also the INs too :A.

My UU's for this weekend include:
2x Lush twilight bath bombs (broken so finally used them up) - wba
Lush yog nog bath bomb - i believe this is the last one from my last years xmas stash -wba
Lush - gorgeous moisturiser sample - i like it but not sure just how much
Sulwhasoo gentle foaming cleanser sample - not decided if i like it or not hmm
Lush tangled hot oil treatment - i had a hard time washing it out, wnba , have 1 more in stash though, might give it away, we'll see.
Lush pumice stone - lasted forever and wba, using my back up now.

GAs
Non beauty related but gave away 8 pieces of fashion jewellery to charity, all part of my downsizing and only keeping things that I really love. The marie kondo book really changed my life

6x lipliners - I never wear them so why am I holding onto them? They were cheapies nothing to write home about

2x korean sample packets that I got from a previous ebay purchase

lush think pink bath bomb - gave it to a friend who would probably enjoy it more than me also gave her a little tiny box of 5 perfume samples too.

I also have a few bits of makeup and perfume up for sale, so hopefully they sell.

Really tempted by a dior eyeshadow palette, keep thinking about it and I keep telling myself that I do not need anymore e/s. As it stands, I have enough to last me a lifetime.

Total OUTS: 21

I gave Emma's birthday to save for next month hence why I am holding off but once that's gone ......:rotfl::rotfl:

So since posting this morning I have tidied the bathroom, UUed an item and earmarked some to finish this week :-

UU : L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap. The bottle never pumps out the last so I tipped it onto my body puff in the shower.

Items that I am pretty sure will be UUed :-
Bare Minerals Bareskin foundation
Benefit Boing Concealer
Batiste dry shampoo
Florence Anne handcream - tube now cut open
John Freda frizz ease shampoo - tube very light.

I've repainted my fingernails. Have topped up OPI If You Moust you Moust then on ring fingers have applied Kiss me on the Tulips and Pirouette my whistle.

UU The 75ml Manuka Doctor Foot Cream that was an NBI
WIB? No, this isn't as expensive as the Simon and Tom foot cream I got, but it is still expensive for what feels very much like a lotion/cream, menthol and tea tree scented, no wow effects.
Not as pleasant to use as the Lacura Urea cream and not as moisturising.

NBI. A cosmetics purse with some Heathcote and Ivory shower gel and body cream
One of the reviews referred to how the zip was faulty, couldn't open the bag, blah blah. There was a tag holding it closed...
Reviews like that where people can't be bothered to look at the product properly before writing off a few lazy lines make me mad.
The manufacturers have supplied a product for free, the reviewers should make some effort.
