No buying unnecessary toiletries-November 2016

lucia22

I've managed to use up something not on my PP list. I'm surprised I used it up as it was a LHJ.

UU
Pharmaid Argan Treasures Botox Effect Eye Cream 30ml - This lasted months and I think it did improve the skin around my eyes. However the perfume did sting my eyes a little bit. WMBA if I see it. I have a couple of more eye creams stashed away so will move on to them.

VALM - I like the Body Shop Blue Corn 3 in 1 Mask, it is very brightening and you get a ton of uses out of the tub.

Welcome sstevo19.

I have a uu

Avon Herve Leger Body Lotion - I bought this for 89p from the reps clearance brochure and wish I had got more. It smells amazing and is lovely to use too, both this and the matching perfume have long been discontinued.

Hi dolly I've used this before and didn't like it much.

Need to update my PP list as I have 2 products to replace. Still using :-

Nivea deodorant - maybe a few days' worth of product left
Sanctuary hand wash - probably 2 applications left at most
L'Occitane hand cream - maybe a few days left

Going to bring in:-
Mark Hill Straightenimg seru - tube cut open
L'Occitane Uktra Shea body lotion - depotted into 15ml pot. Maybe 1 or 2 applications left.

Another UU:

Original Source Lavender & Tea Tree shower gel - WMBA. I used to quite like Original Source, but they've become a lot more thinner over the years. Replaced with my last Original Source shower gel in my stash.

A few UUs for me to kick the month off:

- Roques Oneil Therapie Equilibrium bath essence mini (30ml). WNB - nice, but I like proper bubbly stuff
- M&S Moroccan Escape Bitter Orange Bath Essence (50ml). WNB - as above.
- 5 sachets of shu uemera Ultime8 cleansing Oil. WNB - too runny, smells a bit weird, just not a fan.
- 1 sachet Aurelia Miracle Cleanser. WNB - nice, but nothing amazing
- Origins Rich Rewards Intensive moisture treatment (for hair). WDNBA! I hated the smell of this, it was horrible to have on my hair! Not sure it actually did much for the condition either.

And one TA:
- Neal & Wolf smoothing blow dry balm. WNB - I stopped using this on my hair ages ago, as it's awful. Was using a shave gel, but I'm moving house, and just can't be bothered to pack it, so out it goes!

Welcome to the newbies, and good luck with your de-stashing

Noticed this morning that MRM UUed the Sanctuary hand wash in the kitchen so I have decanted part of my L'Occitane verbena hand wash refill into a 300ml bottle for the kitchen and the remainder into the bottle in the bathroom. Have no more hand wash in stash. WNB the Sanctuary one again as I didn't like the fragrance. Will be on the hunt for a cheaper alternative to L'Occitane for the kitchen in future.

Had a misshap last night. Went to an organised bonfire and got burnt on my neck by a piece of ash that landed on me. Is so sore though I've put Savlon on and it's calmed it. It's a real eyesore though.

I echo your thoughts on some of the things above that I have also tried!! Yet to try my sachet of the cleansing oil...

I have some minor freebie UUs
Estee Lauder perfectly clean sachet - not a fan too drying
Clarins melting cleanser sample - similar to above

Your poor thing that sounds nasty!!
Keep an eye on it as it heals, hopefully it will pretty quickly but I had a burn once that went a little bit nasty as they can be quite deep wounds.

Ouch VALM! I hope it heals quickly.
Welcome to the new people!

Couple of UUs, both candles.
Primark Road to Marrakesh - WNBA. It was nice but not very strong. Don't think they've got it anymore anyway.
John Lewis Lavender and Mint. WBA. Couldn't really smell the mint tbh but the lavender is a really nice, true lavender.

I had my nails painted with Barry M Nutcracker for the last few days, which I loved! I don't generally go for pink but this was a lovely deep magenta. Going to repaint with Sinful Colors Tempest later.

Currently trying to resist going on a spending spree. I'm not happy with my hair or skin at the mo and it's so tempting to buy new stuff but I m going to go through my stash instead. There are also quite a few eyeshadow palettes I want but I might ask for them for Christmas presents.

Hope everyone is finding it easier to resist binge-buying than I am!

It's been Beauty Day today on QVC and whilst I've managed to avoid buying the Laura Geller TSV I have ordered a kit containing a suoer size original Spackle and 2 half sized tubes. The super sized works out at £18.52 which is good considering the full sized in Debenhams is £25.00

I am enjoying the Loreal one but am finding I have to use 1 1/2 pumps each day for full coverage.
