No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - February 2017

mcculloch29

If the neighbours have never had to hunt through a bin for something accidentally discarded, they have been very lucky, savingfortomorrow.

I thought I had discarded three small food items last week, but discovered them today in a cotton shopping bag that had been picked up with items for laundry. All were non perishable, thank goodness!

Small UU of the second half of a twin 100 pad pack of Aldi Lacura cotton wool pads.

WIBA? Yes, these are my normal brand. Great value at 69p for 200 perfectly decent small pads.
I was given a pack of 80 Superdrug cotton wool pads at Christmas, so am on to these for now. They should last for a wee while, they seem decent quality.

A few more UUs, with an impact on the PP list, yay

- Skyn Iceland eye cream (sample pot). WMB - had a weird texture, like cottage cheese, but applied very well, was very moisturising, and I do think has had an impact on some fine lines!
- Elemis eye and lip makeup remover. WNB - prefer Clinique Take the Day Off. This was oilier and less effective in comparison.
- Rituals body scrub. WMB - nice, but I'm not really a fan of body scrubs. If I was to buy one though, it would probably be this. Thick, but not too thick, paste which rinses off easily, and fine scrub particles.

There's unlikely to be much more movement on the PP list, as I'm leaving tonight for a holiday. Dents have been made in the others though, so I'll hopefully get through a few more in March.

• Hand cream – any
• [STRIKE]Kedma eye serum[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Skyn Iceland eye cream[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Elemis eye and lip makeup remover[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Rituals body scrub[/STRIKE]
• Face scrub (can't remember the brand)
• Monu primer
• [STRIKE]Erborian CC crème[/STRIKE]
• Elemis body wash
• [STRIKE]Bio Oil[/STRIKE]
• Organic Surge body cream
• M&S night/sleep cream
• Kedma night cream (which I hate, am using it as a foot cream)
• Lip balm - any

The Aldi cotton pads are my favourite brand but my nearest Aldi is a 14 mile round trip so I don't get them often but if I do get there I buy lots of packs.

I have a uu

No7 Sumptuous Bath Soak 200ml - this was my HG bath soak until Boots completely changed it and made it a cheap and horrible product which bears no resemblance to the old one. This was my last but I do still have a shower gel in the old scent.

afternoon all,

another UU here - REN Glycolic peel 30ml - WBA, this was nice to use, lasted ages and leaves my skin feeling nice.

onward and downwards!

Ahem... I've had a lot of Burt's Bees stuff arrive as NBI's. A few of us were offered it large scale.
As a poster on the Amazon Vine forum put it, 'the hive fell on me'. Unfortunately not all of it was good, but some is. Will post links to products later.

I have some uu's

Umberto Gianini (sp?) Volume Mousse for Big Hair - WNBA, I prefer the dream curls mousse in a pink can which may be from the same brand or may not even be called dream curls - would recognise it when I saw it though. This was OK, I don't blowdry my curls so didn't notice any volume plus it isn't really for curls I don't suppose. I thought I had more mousse in the stash but this was the last one :j.

For this next uu I feel like there should be a band playing somewhere. I have finally finished an eyeliner, I don't think I have ever finished one in my life and after wading through this one I now see why - they last forever. When I look at the amount of eyeliners I have stashed I feel overwhelmed. Anyway without further ado

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Corrupt/Zero - WNBA, technically half size of each colour but still a LHJ, I have used half the Zero side and am calling it quits with that as it travels down under my eyes regardless of what I do. The Corrupt side was lovely and is all totally gone.

VALM

24 30ml Elemis PCMC HG. More in stash. Nuff said. xx

I got a hive of it a while back as the hive was being sold off cheap, some old stock was heavily discounted due to remercandizing. It does not stay stable for years. Don't bee hoarding it'- bee fast in using it up. The creams tended to turn if stored for a good while. The bath salts really turned the fastest.

Don'-t bee hanging on too long to used this range up, it's lovely and you deserve to use it at its peak quality!

One UU from tonight:

Paula's Choice Calm Redness Relief Normal to Oily Cleanser sample WMB. It's a nice gel cleanser, which I prefer. The smell is a bit off putting though.

And five cheeky sample INs:

La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere moisturiser sample
Caudalie Vinosource Moisture Recovery Cream sample
Caudalie Purifying Mask sample
Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream sample
Nuxe Creme Fraiche de Beaute moisturiser sample
