No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2017

Magpied

Had a tidy up of my dressing table today, to make space for my new 'cosmetic organiser'. Should be easier to just instantly find what i need, rather than causing a clutter-collapse trying to find things!

TA
Max Factor Masterpiece Liquid eyeliner. GWP. WNB, tip dried out too quickly but still managed to leak, difficult to get a decent, dark line...

E.L.F Longwear Lip Liner Mauve Luxe - This had gone 'funny' - sharpened it to a point, and the point would just curl up without giving any colour payoff.

Boots Natural Collection Ice Musk body spray - gone off. I don't think they make this any more... PRCP...

Nicola Roberts Dainty Doll Foundation - very old and dried out. Only kept it because it was discontinued, but it had awful coverage anyway!

Hello Kitty EDT 5ml - gone off. Kept the cute kitty-shaped bottle...

and two INs..
Vaseline Intensive Rescue unfragranced body lotion 400ml - this was half price at Waitrose, so had to pick it up when passing. HG

Failed spectacularly in the after sales, but will share some with the daughter in law. Having sId that I may never need to buy lipstick again.

UU

Ahava mineral body lotion. 40 ml. Scent water. Pretty strong smelling but did soften the dry skin on my hands.

Atelier clementine California. 4ml. Nice but not my favourite from them.

L'Occitane 5 essential oils shampoo.50 mls. Didn't like the smell but safe on my coloured hair.

Stash is now in one large wicker basket. Can honestly say, my eyeshadow and lipstick collection will outlive me.

It's all Diors fault for discontinuing my favourite colours.

Mission is to reduce number of minis taking up space

Greetings all ...

Thought I would try this again. I'm surrounded by a lifetime of toiletries and need something to keep me using it all up instead of buying more. I used this forum a few years ago and found it helpful; not sure why I didn't continue. In any case, at some point soon I'll post a list of stuff I'd like to use up this month. So much stuff, don't know where to start!

My Cohorted box has arrived so I have some INs:

Clarins Lipliner Pencil 04 Chocolate
Clarins Joli Rouge 738 Royal Plum
Living Proof restore mask treatment 28 g
Mudmasky Facial detox 20 g x 2
Doucce Maxlash Volumizer Mascara
Living Proof Flex Shaping Hairspray

I'm not sure what to think. I was excited to see Clarins as it is one of my favorite brands but colors are no match to me.

Others will be great to try but I wish there was more variety / better make-up options.

Out:
Colgate pro relief toothpaste. MBA. It's good stuff, but in he most annoying tube ever - so messy!
Garnier Moisture bomb tissue mask WBA cheap and cheerful, easy to use and much nicer than a lot of masks for ten times the price

I have uus to report! Mainly samples as I keep finding these!

Lush avocado co wash solid shampoo sample- WMBA as full size. Im undecided on this one. It smells amazing, like sweet limes. But im not sure if it did much for my hair. Its also strange to use as you have to rub it on your hair and it doesnt really lather. I also went through thr sample in one go as i have thick long hair. Not sure if i can justify the price for regular use but may get as an odd treat just for the smell!

Lush olive branch shower gel sample- WBA leaves a lovely scent on the skin and i find this one quite moisturising. Its quite watery but does lather up a bit. I can live with the consistency for the smell. Got full size stashed away.

Lush emporer of ice cream buttercream sample- WMBA this is another one im not sure if i like this much. My friend sent me this sample pot. It smells ok but just a general soap smell to me. I also think buttercream are my least favourite form of soap from lush as i find they take a while to rub in and form a lather. I have the full size of this so will give it another go and see if it grows on me.

Lush yuzu and cocoa shower cream sample- WBA this one is growing on me, i quite like the scent it leaves on my skin and lathers up well. Got full size stashed.

Lush big shampoo sample- WBA i love the smell of this. I dont need a volumising product but i would get this again for the smell alone. The sea salt washes out easily.

Lush go faster feet foot lotion sample- WBA HG product, i love the smell and how quickly it absorbs. Got full size stashed.

Avon care 3 in 1 cleanser, toner and moisturiser- WBA this leaves your face feeling really soft but clean. It also smells quite neutral, fresh and clean. Think i have another of these somewhere. Not sure if its been discontinued though.

St. Ives apricot naturally clear facial scrub- WBA this is nice and scrubby anc smells pleasant. Would get this again on offer.

Lush rehab shampoo sample- WNBA i didnt enjoy the smell of this one. I prefer ice blue shampoo i think in terms of minty shampoos. It did the job ok but id probably choose others over this one.

Lush american cream hair conditioner sample-WBA as full size and already have. This has a beautiful scent. Id buy for the scent alone. Does the job well.

Im on the last dregs of my soap im using so should finish that today or tomorrow

Cloughies - shower gel, handwash and bubble bath are essentially the same product with varying price tags.

I have a uu

Yes to Tomatoes Face Wash - this was DD's but I have switched her to Cetaphil so DH finished it, it is very thin and runny and quite pricey for what it is WNBA. Gave him the Yes to Cucumbers that DD had so he will get that used now.
