No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2016

catherinekate

I'm in for July too (wait, where did those first 4 days go?) No specific PP list but I am going to try to UU 7 items. I have gift cards for both Boots and Lush so there will be a few INs too.

Gemmajenkins, my stash is not much smaller, but it is full of things I am excited about using - I ploughed through loads of ancient bits and pieces a couple of years ago, and now most things are fairly new and nice. I also made myself wear more makeup ("you've got it, you might as well use it") and found I actually really enjoy it.

Hit pan on an eyeshadow and an eyebrow powder in the last week, which was exciting. I've been using the eyebrow powder more or less every day for the last three years, so it looks like i should be through it by 2030.

That is exactly what I'm trying to do now - plough through all of my older bits before they go bad. On Sunday tho I had to bin a few things as they had already gone bad. Oh well, the cost of them altogether wasn't even a tenner so it's no big loss to me really. But my better stuff I'm going to move on to after using up my unnecessaries were a bit more pricey so as they say - waste not want not :rotfl:

I found an elizabeth arden highlighter that was reduced to clear. I am using it already and i know that i like this product. 75% discount on a product i like was really good.

Nioxin shampoo, conditioner and serum, my hair is falling out and something needs to be improved.

1 UU:

Avon skin so soft silk roll on deodorant- WBA was fine, smelled pleasant and did the job well. Only thing I dislike with Avon roll ons is the way they are sealed - so hard to get into them when you first use them, my grip is poor so it is a nightmare.

Updated PP list :-

Boots Florence Anne Blackcurrant and Fig handcream
Jack Wills Hooe Cove Bidy scrub
Jack Wills Hope Cove body lotion
[STRIKE] Mandara Spa body butter [/STRIKE]
Pixi Glow Tonic
Elemis Pro Radiance Illuminating eye cream
Polskar (?) moisturiser
Elemis Lime Blossom cleanser
Soap and Glory Peaches and Clean cleanser
Maybelline Dream BB Cream

Not sure what I think about this body butter. It does not absorb well however at the end of the day it is still moisturising my skin. Have another in stash and think I'll try to save it for the colder months (like now!!).

Repainted my nails this morning. Bought Emma a Lottie London nail colour called Spring Break which she doesn't like so has been donated to me. Wearing this today. Very nice. Very reminiscent of Elephantastic Pink.

I have a uu

Benefit Porefessional - this was a mini tube, I quite like it but there are cheaper alternatives and I'm having a break out at the moment and am not sure whether this is responsible - WNBA.

2 UU to report:

Burts bees coconut foot cream 20g- WNBA didn't like the smell (wasn't the nice coconut smell I was expecting) and it wasn't a cream but more of an oily clear gel which I wasn't keen on. It was okay but didn't wow me - I've had just as good results with body butter & if I want a dedicated foot cream I do prefer lush go faster feet. This is quite expensive for what it is - I only got 3 applications out of this. I'd use if came in gift set again but probably won't go out to buy it specifically.

Soap & glory righteous butter body butter 50ml- WBA love the scent of this and it's the perfect consistency. Moisturises really well. One of my favourite body butters. I have a large size of this somewhere I probably need to dig out. I always enjoy using this.

Few ins too:

Lush happy 4 sad shower gel 250g
Lush flamingo bubble bar
Lush bright side bubble bar
Lush twilight bombs x 2
Lush Oxford street melts x 2 (not sure of names)
Lush dragons egg bomb
Lush avo bath bomb
Lush almond buttercream
Lush sample of purple rain shower gel from friend

X 11 in

What is your favourite primer dolly? I'm not impressed by the NYX one and thinking of returning to Spackle. I don't like Porefessional either.

VALM - I like the Bare Minerals Prime Time primer and the L'oreal Lumi but my favourite is probably the Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Reviver, smells gorgeous and glides on beautifully.

I have a uu (sort of)

Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation - this was a 5 day sample that the SA put in a pot for me, she colour matched me to the second to lightest colour but it is way, way too orange, I have used this for about 10 days altogether and have chucked out what is left, you only need a bit so if you like it it is good value. I found it thick and oily and it separates half way through the day. It does cover everything though.
