No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - February 2017
Comments
-
Little flurry of UUs this evening:
10. Lush Green Day Bubble Bar WDBA. This was from the Kitchen. I got two baths out of this one but you could easily get 3 or 4. I just wanted lots of bubbles! Got two more in stash.
11. Lush Guardian of the Forest Bath Bomb WBA. Very nice, went well with the above.
12. Primark White Lily and Patchouli Candle WNBA. Another dud from Primark. Shame because they're usually good. This smelt lovely cold but once lit, there was nothing.
13. E45 Shampoo WDNBA, Made my dry scalp even drier. Persevered for a bit in case it was 'gets worse before it gets better' situation like some treatment shampoos are but it was just awful. Finished the last bit cleaning makeup brushes and washing the sink!
Hope everyone has had a nice weekend!0 -
Oh, and GA a Body Shop eyeshadow quad to my sister. Think it was called Smoky Plum.:)0

UU
Beauty Formulas Snail Regenerating Facial Mask (1 sheet) - Found this in the stash and forgot I had it. I decided to use it up quickly last night. I think it has made a difference to my skin as it does look brighter. WMBA but a few more masks in the stash to use up.
Dr Organic Manuka Honey Foot & Heel Cream 125ml - This was a surprise use up as it wasn't on my PP list. I love this cream. It makes my feet so soft. It's definitely a HG product. Have a replaced with another foot cream from the stash.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2019 Total UU since 2016 - 396 | Total February UU - 10 -

I've been terrible at keeping this updated! Here goes...
TA: 3 small sample size mascaras.
UU: Nivea eye make up remover and a primer sample.
IN (this is the bad bit!)
Vichy moisturiser and spot stuff, my skin is terrible at the moment so I'm hoping this helps.

UU. A Garnier Ultra Lift Complete Beauty Day Cream. Had this ages as it rolled under the bed and vanished for a while. It still seemed ok. It was an NBI, from Am@zon I think, not sure tbh.
WIB? Yeah, it's very good. My favourite in this price range is an Olay cream with SPF, but this runs it close.
I have an expensive Merumaya moisturiser with SPF to use up, so that is next in line, but I have a nagging feeling that this doesn't get on well with serum, which is why I stopped using it.
If that's the case, it'll get repurposed as hand cream -it's too runny for feet - and I'll be on to one of my two Olay Revitalift moisturisers with SPF.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

Some UUs at last
11) Yes to Cucumbers Volumising Shampoo - WNBA. It isn't awful, but no better than other cheaper shampoos.
12) Imperial Leather Marshmallow shower gel - WNBA as the scent wasn't as lovely as I imagined it would be.
13) Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic - I threw this away as my skin hated it, along with every other LE product I have tried.
I have an in, but I don't feel bad. My skin has been even more sensitive than usual lately so I had to fork out for La Roche Posay's Toleriane Ultra starter set. My skin is already starting to look a little less red so I think I will try the other Toleriane Ultra products.0 -
I think I'll do the same for March ;-)0

A few UUs for me, woohoo!
- pack of Aldi cotton pads
- Bio Oil - WMBA. Fine, but there are so many lovely body oils available now, I'm not sure why I'd buy this. Elemis monoi oil is my current favourite, but it isn't cheap...
- sachet of Dove hair BB cream - WNB. Has left my hair feeling a little less smooth, and more tangled than serums.
- Toni&Guy damage repair mask - WDBA. Love this, proper HG product. Very close to being as good as Elasticizer, but much cheaper. Fantastic mask.
A few more things are spluttering, so hoping for a bit more progress in the next few days.0
