Options
Comments
-
I have an out as part of my 5 by Christmas. Opi Mariah Carey Liquid sand mini in Baby please come home, is an out. I checked these tonight and this one had gone, the brush had turned into a solid lump. Think I'll only get one more use out of the 2 colours remaining. Hoping to get more minis uucp before Christmas.0

My first UU
UU
Givenchy Amarige Mariage 1ml sample - This is the last of several of these samples I had in the stash. It's a very good perfume and still smells 3 hours after I applied it. I've just come back from a Halloween party so I had an excuse to wear it.
The So? perfume in my stash really only has a few drops left so I'll hopefully remember to apply it on the way to work tomorrow. One of my hand creams now has the lid off and is sitting by my sink with one or two uses left. There's also a new mini perfume in my work bag (it's not on my PP list but I'll see how I get on with it).No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2019 Total UU since 2016 - 396 | Total February UU - 10 -

First UU : Caudalie Vinosource Sorbet. MRM got this as a free sample. I would not buy again. It was OK as a night cream but really needed a serum under it to boost it.
Will swap in a 10ml tube of L'Occitane Almond hand cream.
Repainted my nails and am wearing Essie Midnight Cami.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

I have a uu
Boots Ingredients Cocoa Butter & Mallow Lip Balm - this was OK but was essentially the same as vaseline, so a good barrier against wind and cold but not moisturising. WNBA.
I have also sent 3 nail polishes to the charity shop
Crabtree & Evelyn Wisteria - this chips very easily even on toes, and it has no shine, I like high gloss polishes. Lovely colour though.
Nails Inc Alexa Edit Night Sky - this is one of the gel polishes, it is a very dark navy blue, hard to apply neatly and stains the nails and surrounding skin.
Also a teal coloured polish from a beauty box Sarah Levoine or something.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I have a few UUs
Sample of Est!e Lauder cleanser - WNB made my face feel weirdly right and like it had a film on it
Sample of Laura Mercier cleansing oil - WNB no smell so didn't feel anything special, hard to emulsify but skin did feel quite nice afterwards
Femfresh - WMBA but going to hold off as natural body washes are fine downstairs I reckon!0 -

UU/TA Georgio Armani primer and foundation - I was on last few drops but my face looked pretty c**p today so I've binned last little bit
TA loreal revitalift eye - too heavy for me so decided to bin remaining half
UU benefit brow sample WMBA but I think cheaper products work as well0 -
Two outs and two ins, making no difference to my stash numbers whatsoever!
UU:
• Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50 – WBA and have already ordered a new one
• Mizon Snail Wrinkle care sleeping pack – WBA, really hydrating
IN:
• Soap & Glory SPF, the Biore one is my holy grail, but coming from Japan means that my order still hasn't arrived, so I thought I'd give this a try in the meantime.
• Etude House Moistfull Collagen Sleeping Pack, I did really enjoy the Mizon one, but I always worry I'm missing out on something better! I'll see how I go with this before I decide whether to repurchase the Mizon one.No more goo hoarding!
