No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2016

sam.4000

Happy belated Birthday shandycover, hope your job hunting goes well.

Valm, sorry to hear about the dry rot.

INs
2 X garner micellar water
2 X Neutrogena concentrated hand cream
Mitchum deodorant
Hand gel
Tresemme conditioner
Dove hand wash
Asda face wash
Cheap bubble bath
All atleast half price or less, I was a little more selective than I used to be.
Lush ultrabland, well half a pot as my sister will have half when I see her on bank holiday, one product from lush I always buy. I have vouchers but I am saving them for Christmas as I still have quite a collection.

Uus
13) Hair spray WMBA

14) Mediheal soda bubble mask WNBA still have several left and they bubble on your face but also tickle.

15) lush stardust bath bomb WMBA last from last Christmas, nice and simple.

16) Iope essential skin boosting serum WMBA it sank in quick, hydrated my skin but seems to be discontinued.

17) Mother Nature goodies rose water 500 ml WMBA lasted for about 2 years and I did like it.

18) The body shop nutriganics refreshing toner WMBA nice enough, seems very gentle and did its job.

19) Lush mumkin bubble bar WBA another item i have been saving ( not sure why). It is lovely gives a pink hue to the bath and smells of raspberries.

20) Nature republic Royal jelly sheet mask WNBA stunk of alcohol which I avoid as it makes my skin really greasy, not a good fit or hydrating actually I would say it's quite drying.

21) Lush beautiful shower gel wWNEBA last of 3 little bottles and am so glad to be rid, can't use it in the shower as its form bright yellow bubbles which stain the shower curtain. It's full of glitter which sinks to the bottom like every other lush shower gel ( yet they still put glitter in them). Not really a fan of the scent either.

22) Mizon good night sleeping mask WBA love this and it's very inexpensive.

Dolly I take up your challenge and will use up a hoarded lush 1 am 10 bubble bar which I bought in 2012. (I may still have a pice of soap from lush that I have had 9 years and I might slice a little bit off but I am still not ready to use it right now).

UU Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - WBA. This bottle has lasted for ages so this was very good value for money.

Re keeping stuff for best, when my mum died I saw all the tonnes of posh stuff she had from QVC but she never really used it, I was aware of her stash before but it never really bothered me before. While I will also spend out on posh stuff, I make sure to use it, she had loads of Elemis, Gatineau, Liz Earle etc...Gatineau was and still is too rich for my skin but I found some of the other stuff had gone off as it'd been open so long, it's a reason I am quite strict with having only a certain number of things open at any one time.

Another question for people, which product helps to pick you up when you feel really down? Mine is my Chanel No.5 perfume, it just makes me feel so beautiful and so elegant when I wear it

And now, my update:-

UUs
Avon Planet Spa Revitalising Harmony Foaming Shower Mousse 150ml - WBA but only if they bring out a shower gel/cream as this was too gentle for me and make no real impact.
Avon Skin so soft shave gel
Dentyl Complete Care Mouthwash 500ml
Femfresh Soothing Wash 250ml
L'Occitane Brom!lia Bi-phase Body Oil 250ml - WBA as it's an in-shower moisturiser that doesn't make you slide around!
La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL SPF 50+ Ultra Light Fluid 3ml - Nice and light but no good for me in the summer!
Lancôme Eau Micellaire Douceur 400ml

GA
Sanctuary Warming Detox Charcoal Wash 100ml - WDNBA, I take no real notice of 'avoid eye area' with washes and never notice the difference normally but this stuff stuck like glue, horrid!

I totally fell off the wagon. Treated my self to the Guerlain Meteorite compact for my birthday. I've lusted after it for at least 15 years. Then got side tracked at the Est!e Lauder counter and came away with the fading serum and a gwp. And ther are ins that came with the compact from Sephora.

But I did manage two outs, finished a dual ended eye pencil from yves rocher that lasted ages and a travel size bottle of Lancômes facial moisturizer in a green bottle, energy de vie. Loved this line but for some reason, only Sephora has it in the travel section.

It is Chanel No 5 for me too! The bottle is just so beautiful and there is something so wonderful about wearing a fragrance women have worn for decades. I also associate it with becoming a woman because I saved up for a bottle when I got my first job and I felt so grown up buying it! If I am feeling very under the weather I will occasionally put some on before bed and feel utterly self-indulgent!

I have two, one is when I use pure coconut oil all over, love the feeling of silky skin, especially after shaving... the other is my Kate Moss Black mascara, it's jet black and my lashes looks so long... shame that it's not water proof ... and on that note could anyone recommend a good water proof black mascara...

I'm also going to buy myself some more perfume, love ghost which I'm wearing for the side challenge and forgot how mch I adore the smell of wearing perfume... so I'm going to treat myself to a bottle of maybe Poison because it always reminds me of my mam, who use to wear it and I do love the smell.. so will be my treat to myself at Christmas

Morning everyone

Finally used up my L'Occitane Shea gentle toner -WNBA,it was ok I just don't think toner has any effect on my skin and £17 is a bit expensive for that effect,I'll probably pick up a cheaper one from superdrug to replace.

Probably my Urban Decay Palettes, they are so pretty (and lots and lots of chocolate and cake of course).


Its good to put on an outfit that makes you feel good and some pretty make up and get a nice cuppa with a massive slice of yummy cake and lashings of cream.

If you're ever near Bude, take a 20 minute detour to the village of Bradworthy and go to the Inn of the same name, they do the most incredibly perfect Bailey's cheesecake!!
