No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - February 2017

Lizzy22

KT2802- I have used a few sunday riley products and IMO they're really not worth it. Have used Good Genes and have to say it didn't do much for me (mum and sister also have and said the same!). Have also had two of their face washes and they weren't anything to write home about. Sorry if thats a bit too pessamistic for you!


Also a few UUs:

Marc jacobs daisy dream shower gel 75ml- WNBA i'm not too keen on this scent.

Clinique anti blemish solutions cleansing gel 30ml- WNB cheaper ones produce the same results.

Eve lom tlc radiance cream 15ml - WNB my skin didn't get on with this as well as I'd hoped.

Mac mineralize concealer- WNBA the coverage of this wasn't quite what I'm looking for.

Pureology strength cure conditioner 250ml - WDBA this actually gives me better results than a lot of my masks. Have another in the stash already.

Thanks for this Val - one to cross off my list. Very tempted by some Sunday Riley products at the moment and Space NK have £15 off online at the moment when you spend £60 (apologies if this enables anyone) :o:o

Has anyone used any of the Sunday Riley products?

I must say I really like Alpha gold. It takes some time to see the effects on your skin and you are not really supposed to use it every day anyway.

2 lipglosses are sold on Ebay. Posting tomorrow.
No INs this weekend, a success for me :eek:

Only one UU today:

Lush Silky Underwear dusting powder WMBA. This was a LHJ. I've been using this since I bought it in June 2015. I'm glad it's gone but I don't know whether I'll miss it or not.

I am happy with Liquid Gold too, every other night and do wear sun screen if outdoors I think it states if I remember correctly.

INS 2 x Right Guard Total Defence 5

UUs
Bomb Cosmetics Deer Me Bath Bomb, lovely smell but the glitter was very sticky
Botanica shower gel, much nicer than I was expecting
LUSH Stepping Stone, not very good really

Hi everyone. I too have tried Sunday Riley. I have Juno oil it's nice but not as impressive as I'd hoped. They do lady ages though! I wish I had money for Space NK with the offer but trying to be really good at the moment as broke.

I have a UU Hydralauron Moisture Jelly. Was an unexpected UU I'd stopped using it and went to try it as assumed I had a way to go and kind of wanted it gone. WMBA but nicer in summer. My convinced it lasts very long or that you get much in the pot. Packaging is a bit of a novelty.

Thanks savingfortomorrow, lizzy and houseplant. I am reluctant to spend that sort of cash unless the products are outstanding really. I am wanting to find something that is good for acne and scars, seem to get bad breakouts every so often that leave awful marks / scars. I am using the la Roche posay retinol product (redermic?) but can't say I'm noticing any difference in terms of pigmentation from old spots.

I use pixi glow tonic daily - I like this as it does leave my skin feeling smooth but I'm not convinced of any other benefits really. Interesting to hear that other people did get on with the liquid gold. We all have different skin types. It's one I've wanted to try but haven't yet.

I like liquid gold, it really peps up my skin if I leave it on overnight.

Sunday Riley ceramic slip is a good face wash. It's pricy but I like the squeaky clean feeling it gives me.

KT - don't remember if you follow Caroline Hirons at all?, but if you go to her blog and type retinol in the "looking for something" box you get This you may find some helpful stuff here:D

ETA - new readers lots of helpful recs/experiences in the comments section too very often.

finished two foundations lancome and guerlain, I scrapped out every last drop from the lancome and put it into a tiny tester pot and added some white drops.

The guerlain is a little too dark but i have an other in the stash so I have to use it and the texture is brilliant. I think I will try and keep it until the summer before using it. I have so much to finish up but it is improving, little by little.
