No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2017

UU
Shisheido instant eye and lip make up remover WNBA

It was lovely, but honestly no better than my usual Vichy waterproof eye make up remover, and at €35 vs €14 it's a bit of a no brainier for me!

A little UU to report:

Lush twinkle toes powder sample- WBA and already have full size. This smells quite nice and does the job of freshening my feet up. The glitter effect is probably not for everyone but i dont mind it.

Feeling a bit sorry for myself. Anyone got the nasty cold bug thats going around? My ears are so full i cant hear a thing and they are so painful. Been feeling too exhausted to shower and didnt want to get my ears wet so dry shampoo and stuff has been my friend for past two days, eurgh

On bright side one of my lush sale orders is arriving tomorrow. I should have ins. Excited to get my bits, hoping ill feel better enough to shower tomorrow and finish some stuff up as shampoo and face wash are nearly finished.

I have some uu's

Loreal Expert Repair Absolut Lipidium Condtioner - was nice enough but won't be going out of my way to buy.

Biore Charcoal Face Wash - this was quite nice but just a gimmick imo really, it is black just to prove it is charcoal and it has menthol in to make you feel like your pores have been cleared. WNBA.

Repainted my nails last night with Liz Earle Ebb Tide which I love.

It's a dull and dreary day here, so I'm staying inside

Three UUs to report:
Lush Candy Mountain WBA. Very nice and a sweet scent, to me it smells a bit like Parma Violets, oddly.
Lush Stardust WBA. Lovely little bath bomb.
Superdrug Lime & Ginger shower gel WNBA. This one is from my PP list. It was alright, but I didn't get any hint of ginger. Towards the end it started to remind me of a citrus cleaning product

Well, I've had a bit of an epic fail...

I started using my simple cleanser, toner and moisturiser on new years day(new year new me trying to get into a solid routine and all that) and on Friday I broke out. Badly... :eek:

But then that pesky Aunt Flo arrived the same day and I had a few smaller spots in the days before like I always do but now I honestly don't know if it's the products I'm using that caused me to break out or if it was just hormonal...

I'm going to get back into my routine again once Flo has packed her bags and left as I will have a whole month then as it's only around this time of the month I get big sore spots like that

morning all,

just the one UU over the weekend but a few starting to splutter

UU - Environ cleansing oil - WNBA, it did the job but i felt like it left a film on my skin and more often than not ended up getting in my eye and irritating it - kinda glad to see the back of it actually1

I would recommend introducing new products slowly, to gauge whether or not they'll cause any problems. My skin's quite slow to be reactive to any new product, that's why I have to take a month to patch test any product. I've been testing one moisturiser for a month, and it's just started to cause a few slight problems.

Ohhhh ok, thank you for the heads up

Another TA, the Garnier moisturiser, WNBA I hate it. It's really thick and doesn't work under primer and foundation. On its own it's not too bad but I just couldn't use the rest as I'm so fed up of it so binned it.

My break out on my chin also seems to calming a bit since throwing those concealers away and using sudocrem on it on a night
