No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2016

VALM

2 more UUs for me and from my PP list:-

Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom cleanser. HG. Need a new one. Will see what's on offer at Debenhams tomorrow.

ABC Tea Tree skin wash 1 litre size. Have refill bag in stash. New HG. Love how clean it makes me feel.

I went into Primark yesterday for tweezers for Emma. Came away with :-

Nail polish remover, nail polish remover pads for travel, 2 X chocolate face masks, 2 X sheet masks and a concealer stick.

From sorting out all of my products the other day, i have formulated my UU list for the new thread next month

I also have a small collection of samples(only about 3 or 4, but all in sachets so one-use things), a face mask and a bath bomb which i will UU all in one hit when i manage to have a pamper evening, whenever our bathroom gets sorted :rotfl:

The UU list may change between now and the beginning of next month, depending on how usage of products goes

savingfortomorrow

bought some organizing supplies from primark the brush holders some in two sizes and a container for cotton pads.
the quality of the brush holders is great, i use the small ones for eye shadow brushes, pencils and bigger for the foundation and powder brushes.

Another UU: 8ml pot of L'Occitane Divine cream. Was ok. Have another in stash. WDNBA.

I have some uu's

Ren Rose Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser 150ml - this does a really good job and smells lovely, no breakouts or irritation from it either, have more in the stash but WNBA because of the amount of components in the packaging non of which are recyclable here.

Revlon Colourstay Foundation 30ml - love this. This is the original glass bottle with no pump version and I am hoping the new plastic pump bottle is the same formula and that they haven't tinkered with it. It glides on beautifully and covers everything and really lasts. WBA

Almost certainly last UU for this month

20ml Courant perfume. 10/67 Replaced by a sample of Clinique Be Happy

For some reason I have not bothered much with perfume for ages, and find I have 4 bottles and handful of samples and approx 8/9 of those mini bottles that you can buy in gift sets. It is years since I had a "signature perfume", but I will work my way through what I have, discarding anything I do not like and then try and find something special.:D

Hello! I went shopping today and came home with less INs than I expected! Hooray! To be fair, that's partly because the Rimmel Fresher Skin Foundation that I really want to try was sold out but still!

20. No7 Instant Radiance Foundation Calico - I really like their foundations and wanted to try this so got it while I had the £3 voucher.
21. No7 Cleansing Wipes - Like these but not worth £7 so got with the £5 voucher.
22. MUA Pressed Powder - Needed one. The only one I have is really light and I can't use it in summer so got this translucent one.
23. Freedom Pro HD Empty Palette.This is a new thing. They've started doing loose pans and empty palettes. Got it because I want to try the MUG eyeshadows and this palette is cheaper than the MAC or Z-Palette. It feels really sturdy and has a decent mirror inside. There were no testers for the loose pans so I didn't get any. I find the Freedom ones to be a bit hit and miss so want to test first. This is a bit of a cheat on the INs front as I don't intend on counting any loose pans I buy as single items as long as they fit in here!
24. Garnier Micellar Water. Didn't need this yet but it was £2.50 in Primark and I've never seen it that cheap before.

19. The Body Shop Aloe Toner mini WDBA I'd already purchased the full size before this ran out.
20. Yes To Carrots Nourishing Fragrance Free Gentle Cleansing Wipes WDNBA. Despite being fragrance free, these stank! Also, not gentle at all. Made my whole face sting. I mostly used them up cleaning my hands when I do my make up and when I went through my eyeshadows yesterday and had swatches all up my arm!
21. Primark White Tea and Violet Candle WDBA. Really nice scent. Good value and burn really well.

4. Biore Charcoal Cleanser. It does nothing and was a weird texture I didn't like so I gave up.

GA
8-10. 3 x Aveeno Moisturising Cream Samples.
11. I Heart Makeup Pink Fizz Eyeshadow Palette
12. Freedom Brow Pomade. Can't get on with this. I'm a powder and pencil girl!
13. MUA Pro Base Prime and Conceal Palette. This is one of those colour correcting things. I just don't use them and make up doesn't sit well with them because they're greasy,.
14. Miss Sporty Mysterious Smoky Quad. I have similar colours in better quality.
15. Simple Light Moisturiser mini. Terrible packaging and not keen on it anyway. I don't find it sinks in very well.
16. Bubble T Hibiscus and Acai Berry Tea Body Lotion. Came in a beauty box and I don't like the smell.

As you can tell I had a bit of a clear out! Any unopened stuff goes to the refuge. The rest to my SIL. My makeup and toiletry drawers are so organised now! I've earmarked a few makeup bits which are getting one more chance before I decide what to do with them. I so enjoy decluttering!

Thought I would update my PP List as August is nearly over:-


Looks like the PC I'm using won't strike out so these items have been finished:-


Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom cleanser

8ml L'Occitane Pivoine cream

L'Occitane sample sachets.


I have cut the bottle of S&G open and am going to use this up this week before my hols. The travel sized L'Occitane shower gels (have 2) and sachets will come with me on hols too so will be carried over to next PP list.


Bought a new bottle of Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom cleanser yesterday.

Some INs were replacements. Others were impulse purchases like face masks and lip balms! I warn you now though ladies I will be spending at the airport. Will definitely be getting a new mascara and will avow not to try high street ones again as they all seem to smudge.
