No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2017

GreenFairy

More ins, but just replacements. Was very proud of my self control in the middle of a giant Boots sale!

Nip and Fab nighttime extreme glycol in pads
2 garner moisture bomb tissue masks
Vichy waterproof eye make up remover

Is anyone else having really cranky skin in this weather?

I finished the soap and glory hand cream. I really like the fragrance. I like the texture of it as a body balm. I find that i use body creams that are so thick you can hold them upside down. I agree the lotion can be really cold due to the water content. I like to use the quality creams on my legs and i find they really reduce the size of my cankles. I think the longer you spend trying to get it to absorb makes a massive difference to returning the lymph.

Hope the link works.

Thanks It's only the B&B that I'm interested in out of the set though - but I've posted a request on the QVSell FB group, so will hopefully get sorted!

Everyone seems to be being very good in the sales. I am trying very hard to resist the Clinique Crayola chubby sticks. Lipstick that looks like a crayon? How old am I? I so want them.

I have 2 chubby stick lip crayons, and love them Way better than lipsticks for me. I don't think I ever paid full price for them though - they often come up in bonus time offers etc, so worth holding out if you buy Clinique stuff in general.

A few UUs for me:
- Rituals Happy Buddha foaming shower gel. WBA - though I have 2 more in stash :rotfl: Loooooove these foaming shower gels, and occasionally get them as pressies now. They last aaaaaaaages too, so I won't run out any time soon.
- Percy & Reed No Oil Oil (hair oil). WNB - second one I've used I think, from various boxes. Fine, but I've used better. I do like the smell.
- Studio 10 Miracle Effect priming serum 5ml. WDNB! Needs way more on each application than most serums, doesn't seem to do much, and smells a bit weird.
- Aldi mouthwash. WDBA - I'll pick up another bottle this weekend. Cheap and cheerful and does the job!
- Doctor Kimoto pair of foot peel socks. WDBA - feet only started peeling today after using on Sunday night, but seem just as effective as more expensive options. I love foot peels occasionally

Bet you will get one through QVSell. LG seems to have a huge fan group on FB who buy every TSV no matter what. Not like us sensible folk!

I have a Rituals foaming shower gel on the go at the mo - the green one. I find the nozzle really difficult to press down though.

13 Yorkshire Soap Company No 2 Peppermint Cream Shower Gel Am on the fence about this. Yes, it was lovely but I should really save products like this for the Summer or take on holiday with me as it left me icy cold. It was nice just nothing special and considering the price I don't thnk I would repurchase. The bath bomb however I loved and I'd repurchase however it depends on whether I ever see them offering free p&p as their charges are on a par with QVC. Or maybe wait for another visit to York. I have brought the matching body lotion to work to use as hand cream. Can't stand to apply it all over.

So my updated PP list looks like this:-

Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser
Murad Clarifying Toner
Garnier Sensitive eye make up remover.
L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap (bathroom).
Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream
Boots nail polish remover
[STRIKE]Lush Cup o Coffee[/STRIKE]
Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It
Ole Hendrickson sugar glow mask.
[STRIKE]Lush Snowflake soap
Yorkshire soap company peppermint cream shower gel
[/STRIKE]Yorkshire soap peppermint cream body lotion
Hawaiian tropic body butter
[STRIKE]Diamond resort body lotion (small tube). [/STRIKE]
Eye cream
[STRIKE] Elemis superfood oil[/STRIKE]

Everything except the aforementioned body lotion is looking likely to go this month. I don't know how much is in the eye cream as it's in a pump bottle that is not transparent. Need to start using this though.

Finish 5 by Spring:-

Benefit No Pressure cream eyeshadow - I think I am going to throw this away. It is the little tester pot that came with the Naturals Eye palette however I dropped it some time ago and the top smashed badly. It doesn't stay on at all now and I spray the product with IBST each time I use it. Consequently, I'm getting no colour pay off so think it's time to call it a day.

Smashbox eyeshadow from Full exposure palette. One shimmery one has hit pan. - the pan has expanded and yesterday I hit pan on another colour. I wish it was easy to attach photos to this site as I would let you all see my pannage !! lol

Kat Von D Trooper eyeliner. Got this deluxe size in a Sephora kit and want to make sur it doesn't dry up - still going strong which I'm actually pleased about. Love this product so much.


Benefit Dallas powder. Have hit pan - have been alternating between this and Dandelion this week. Honestly cannot see any difference in the amount of pan. Will remember to take a photo I think.


Lush Lemony Flutter - have been religiously applying this to my cuticles most nights (so long as I sit down to watch TV) and also applying to MrM's toe cuticles (please don't judge me!). No pan as yet but reasonable dent in there.

Hi all, couple UU and a TA for me

TA: Gautinue face cleanser - awful, broke my skin out terribly, stuck with it for a while but a couple of days after changing to another face wash my skin returned to normal,

UU: Elemis PCMC night 15ml, love this. have a full size in the stash but will use up a couple of smaller half used other bits first.

how did I not know about the FB QVSell page! what a great idea - have requested to join the group

GreenFairy - my skin stays pretty much the same in winter just needs a tad more moisture at night.

savingfortomorrow - rubbing a moisturiser into your legs every day really does work well for skin tone and circulation.

I have a couple of uu's

Laura Mercier Golden Honey Musk Honey Bath 170ml - WNBA, this is expensive (even at the half price I paid for the set), it smells gorgeous but other than that it is the same as a cheaper bubble bath, need to use quite a lot for the bubbles to last and it is quite drying.

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Plum Jam - this was the old style of these sticks where you get 3x the product, I don't know why S&G discontinue all their good products, this was a nice, sheer plum, glossy and lasted well. I think I have another brand new one in the stash.

Another eye shadow hit pan this morning UD Stark, think I have another shadow that will hit pan soon, hoping some of the ones that hit pan a while ago will be UU shortly. Must reduce eye shadow stash, but 2 shadows hitting pan in 2 days shows its definitely getting UU.
