No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2016

I went out earlier to do a bit of shopping - got a little set of plastic drawers (£1 in poundworld ) to go in my bathroom cabinet to hold some makeup and help me organise it a bit better. So I've emptied a few shelves of the cabinet, and reorganised lots of stuff so I can see it all better - will hopefully help me actually use some of my eyeshadows in future! It looks loads better anyway, yay!

I do also have a couple of INs though too -
- 2 x Tigi Dumb Blonde Reconstructor 750ml. But this is my HG conditioner (current bottle is almost empty), and not easy or cheap to get hold of the larger sizes (200ml RRP is £14!). But I found B&M selling the large size for £9.99, which is awesome! I normally pay around £15 online, then have to wait for delivery.

Fortunately also a couple of OUTs:
Out - mini sample of Roger & Gallet Gingembre Rouge fragrant water. Loved this! Will definitely buy - might finally be a replacement for my discontinued summer perfume (Les Belles de Ricci Liberty Fizz ), yay!

Out/TA - Clinique Chubby Stick for lips, in a pinky colour. This is seriously old - all the writing has worn off, so no idea what the colour is! The actual product has gone very soft too, so it's almost impossible to use, but there's also only a tiny amount left. I've another chubby stick in a different colour still going strong, and lots of other lips colours, so I'm well stocked for now anyway.

That's a great wee find from B&M, I love a browse in those shops can find some really good stuff.

Welcome Dolly Rocker.

UU - my second sample of Garnier Skin Miracle Cream.

So annoyed that I have had these open for a while but managed to use them up in a few days. It's amazing what you can do when you focus on one thing at a time!

If anyone is still looking for pale with no yellow or orange I got the full makeover at Rodial today. The Skin Tint in Capri is light in colour, has good coverage and the lady suggested using bronzing powder rather than blusher due to my redness and it really worked. Natural colouring, no jaundice or orangness. Might well buy when the Touche Eclat and dozens of foundation samples are used up. Assuming I don't wake up with breakouts due to all the anti-aging creams which were put on my face first.

ONTH, I walked out of a different department store with three samples from a brand I haven't heard of before.

gemmajenkins0208

Wilko skin therapy cotton pads
2x Simple eye makeup remover pads
3x Wilko functional face wipes
No. 7 soft and soothed toner
Simple purifying cleansing lotion
Nivea express hydration primer - TA. Binned this as it had been open for ages anyway and I just couldn't see me using it all up before it went bad.
FCUK for her
Impulse vanilla kisses - This feels very light now so expecting it to be UU this month - More than likely only enough to spray myself all over then this one will be finished. Hoping to UU while getting ready for work in the morning
Rimmel BB cream - TA. Been open for ages and started smelling funny. I had to start shaking it to mix it up before application.
Avon colourtrend black eyeliner - TA. Only ever used this once and it's been open for around 3 months now. Wouldn't risk it at all with eye makeup.
Avon supershock black mascara - TA. Same as above.
Ciate glitterball mini
Gillette shave foam - This is starting to feel light so hoping to see the back of this soon!
Dove firming lotion - TA
2x Dove shower cream - TA
Adidas firming shower gel
Carmex lip balm with SPF

Our ceiling still hasn't been repaired yet, and when my dad finally got through to our landlady to ask about it, she used the fact we are a bit behind on the rent against us! :mad: I know we shouldn't be behind on the rent but we are getting there with it now. This time last year we were 8 months in arrears and now we've caught up to just 2 months in arrears.

Been AWOL for the first half of July ... buying a house, getting rid of lots of stuff, lots of crazy things happening ...

UU

Herbal Essences Shine Conditioner - had been hanging around for ages so I wanted to get rid. Nice enough, does the job ...

INS

Dr Organic Aloe Vera Shampoo and Conditioner
Crazy Rumors Lip Balms in Gingerbread and Apple Spice (I really like winter-scented lip balms!)

I had a gift card for a local outlet centre ... so technically I haven't spent anything on those INS. And I don't think I spent anything last month.

Not to enable or anything, but if anyone's near the Junction 32 outlet at Castleford, there's a Beauty Outlet there. I made it out without buying but it's jam packed with stuff! Never seen as many nail varnishes in one place - Essie and Nails Inc are two brands I recognised. All pretty cheap.

I have a UU and some ins to report:

Avon naturals grapefruit & passionfruit hair treatment mask 125ml- WMBA this smelled really lovely and fruity but I don't think it worked as well on my hair as others I've tried. I also wish there was more product fir the price as I go through these quickly having long thick hair. Still, it smells lovely so might re purchase if on a good offer! Got a couple more of these in stash. Will look for something to replace this tomorrow.

The ins:

I bought a snow fairy castle gift set as needed an item for a RAOK (I have the item but it was broken when I went to get it out to send, and I'd feel mean sending a broken item). I've had this set on my want list fir ages anyway as I love the box. I've took items out and am using the box Now as storage for my pocketbacs as its so pretty! I love lush gift boxes, they are fab for storing stuff in and the designs are so quirky!

So ins are ( not counting things that are going straight out to friends).

Lush magic bath bomb
Lush magic wand bubble bar
Lush fairy dust dusting powder
Lush snow fairy shower gel 100g

I did go through my lush stuff today and found a few older items I'd forgotten I even had that as they are oldest probably need using up soon. I'm really pleased to find them thigh as quite rare now. They were a luxury lush pud, hedgehog bubble bar, Christmas Eve bubble bar, star dust bomb and an old space girl!

I've got out some items that are going to a couple if friends at work who want to try snow fairy but obviously it isn't in shops anymore. I bought too many cheap in the sales last year for a fiver, and was gifted a load too. I told them rather than searching online for it they might as well have mine as its been sitting there waiting to be used (I have a massive 1kg bottle too and several smaller ones to get through :eek: ) so they may as well enjoy it before it goes out of date! I'll no doubt end up with more at Christmas anyway as people know I love it! :eek: I need to buy less in the sales this year though, I always end up with more than I can get used. I'm thinking of using the 1kg bottle as bubble bath and the smaller ones in shower. Should be moving house in a couple months so saving the snow fairy as a treat to use when we move in to new place (which we haven't found a new place yet and house is sold!! We put offer on a house but wasn't accepted I have to admit I've been looking at bathrooms before everything else I need a nice bathroom to use my nice toiletries in :rotfl: !!)

So outs are going to be:

Snow fairy gel 500g x 2
Snow fairy wand bubble bar x 2

Might as well declare them now as friends will be having them next week (one isn't working with me until next week). I bet they think I'll have forgotten about the snow fairy so they will be suprised!

In total then x4 in and x5 out of stash!

ETA: forgot that I used another nose pore strip tonight (really struggling with skin ATM, guessing it's the stress of everything going on with family issues and the worry about sorting house etc and uncertainty)

Secrets nose pore strip- WNBA this was rubbish next to the tea tree one I used last night! Didn't stick much at all even though I followed instructions it was supposed to be the same as the other one just a different brand but didn't do much anyway! Didn't hardly get much out (sorry thats probably tmi!) my body shop blackhead removing metal tool does a better job!

Weareghosts- that outlet sounds amazing, we aren't all that far from there really! Only an hour or so away. Might take a trip there sometime As I fancy a mooch in ikea after we've moved. Those lip balms sound gorgeous, must sit on hands though as have more lip balms than I know what to do with!

Squiffany- refresher is so lovely isn't it. I was a bit meh when I bought it but I've fallen in love since I've been using it. I used a chunk in a sieve the other day to make bubbles along with a Big Bang bar and the resulting bath was amazing! I love how refresher really does smell just like the refresher sweets! It was making me hungry!

Gemzie - I hope you find a new house soon, moving is so stressful.

I will have some ins today as my LIB order is coming, will declare later on.

I have 2 INs, both from my mum!

IN 2 - Stila lip gloss that she got in a beauty box, not sure of the colour name but it's a lovely bright pink
IN 3 - a sample of Benefit gimme brow from Cosmo magazine. Not sure of the colour yet as I haven't opened it, but I did use the product before it got repackaged so as long as it's a brown colour it'll get some use.
