No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2016

VALM

I have a TA too. The Eyebrow powder kit that I got from a Birchbox. The packaging broke and I prefer a pencil to powder so it's gone.

I have a uu

Elemis PCMC 15ml - lots more of these in the stash to be getting on with.

Also an in

Garnier Simply Essentials 2 in 1 Make up Remover - on offer in Boots and I only have one other bottle of this which is in use by both me and DD.

Used up some travel perfume sprays (4 in total)
that I had for "travelling" but I'm not going on holiday this summer so decided to use them up.

3 UUs today:-

John Freda Frizz Ease shampoo. HG though I don't have any in at the mo. Do have travel sized shampoo and Emma has some Aussie so may use these this week until I see some JF on offer.

Jack Wills Hope Cove body lotion. WBA on Boots sale. Would imagine it's overpriced at JW.

Elemis eye masks. None left now. WNBA. Think I need a decent eye cream instead.

I have a uu to report:

Aldi dentitex 6 in 1 alcohol free mouthwash - WBA did the job fine and wasnt too strong but left your mouth feeling very fresh. It was a great price too.

Replaced it with the asda whitening one I bought a few weeks ago.

Another UU for me: Body Shop Blueberry Body Wash and Prada Candy Florale sample.

I absolutely adore Prada Candy in all its versions.

I have some uu's

Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo 250ml - I have been buying this on and off for years but don't find it as good for my hair now so WNBA I don't think.

Beautannia Brideshead Bath Oil 200ml - WBA but can't, this is a Space NK own brand which they have discontinued. This was a very highly scented oil which really moisturised.

Haven't been on this thread for a wee while. It's been a busy month and haven't thought much about the challenge - got a few hand creams which are spitting and a body spray and perfume which I keep at work are running out. I have a few INs - two travel size lip balms and shower gels which were freebies. I also bought another Dove body lotion which I saw on offer (time to stop with the Dove lotion purchases I think!). My latest UU are:

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturising Conditioner 200ml - I really liked this conditioner and Herbal Essences is my go -to brand atm as I can usually get it on special offer and it works very well on my hair. WDBA.
Herbal Essences Ignite My Colour Conditioner for Coloured Hair 200ml - As above - not sure how good it is as a coloured hair conditioner compared to normal conditioner though. WDBA.
Charlie Enchant Body Fragrance 75ml - I liked this scent although it's not my favourite. WMBA.
T-Zone Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Exfoliating Facial Wipes - I didn't really like this batch of wipes but I discovered they work a little better if you add a little water. I've since found wipes for the same kind of price which work a bit better for me. WNBA.
St Ives Body Scrub 300ml - I liked this scrub as it's very exfoliating - one of the best I've used. Although probably because it was in a tub, it ended up being quite watery by the time I got to the end of the product. I liked it but will try other brands before I make up mind on what will be HG. WBA.

Just back from a few days away so need to unpack my toiletries and sort out latest batch of stuff to use up.

A few UUs for me, finally, after my shopping exploits

- Tigi Dumb Blonde Reconstructor 750ml - HG conditioner, 2 new ones bought a few days ago This has stopped pumping now, so the remainder is being decanted into one of the new bottles. This size does last a few months, even with the amount I need on my long thick hair, so the big bottle works for me!
- Nivea 3-in-1 Facial Cleaning Wipes - WMBA. I'm fairly indifferent to face wipes, and mostly only use when travelling. Think I picked these up cheap in Wilkos.
- Ogx Coconut milk hair serum. WPBA. Big fan of this, have been using it for years. Light, but very smoothing, and excellent value for money as it's a big bottle. Have a few other serums to get through though.

So an update on my 7 by Autumn goals:
- Barry M Flawless Chisel Cheeks contour kit
- assorted bath products (2 very old Lush bath bombs, Tisserand Sweet Dreams bath oil 20ml, and M&S Morroccan Escape bath essence 50ml)
- Benefit Confessions of a concealaholic kit
- 2 primers (Monu illuminating primer spf 15, and one other)
- 2 eye treatments/creams (Clinique custom smart eye treatment, and Clinique all about eyes, both small sizes and already in use)
- [STRIKE]2[/STRIKE] 1 hair serums ([STRIKE]ogx coconut milk serum, almost done[/STRIKE], and Toni&Guy radiating tropical elixir)
- 2 cleansers (Ren gentle cleasing milk 25ml, and Elemis Omega rich cleansing oil 50ml)

Right I have treated myself to a Z Palette, should hopefully arrive early next week. I have a couple of loose pans to put in it and am going to depot what is left of my Naked 3 palette (in the hope that it will make me use some of those shadows more often). Then as other palettes start having multiple empty pans I will depot them to.


Hopefully they will eventually save me s bit of space on the dressing table (reducing the number of palettes I have) and help me to use those left over shades from other palettes.

I'd never heard of these before you posted this - such a good idea! I love the idea of being able to pack a small custom selection for trips. Not something I can justify for myself right now though

Firstly, I am on the fence re palettes. My reason for not buying anymore is the fact that they all get a black shadow thrown in. Of the 5 that I own 4 contain a black pallette. Tge argument for buying them though is that they are cheaper than buying individual pans.

Similar for me - it's easy to end up with several duplicates of colours. But it always feels more economical than buying singles, aargh! I haven't got a huge amount of palettes at the minute though (and only a small number of singles) - but eyeshadows take so long to use anyway that I still have waaaaay more than I can realistically use any time soon
