No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - February 2017

Gemzie121

I have some UUs to report, and a couple of ins.

UU:

Lush softy foot lotion 100g- WBA i really liked this. Absorbed really quickly and a little went a long way. It smells very much of lavendar, i liked the smell of this but can imagine it being a marmite one. Im sure this is supposed to smell like the dream time bath melt. Ive got go faster feet and pink peppermint lotions to use next but will definitely get this again in future.

No.7 radiance exfoliator mini- WMBA this was in my swimming kit bag and was quite old. Did the job but nothing particularly special.

Crabtree and Evelyn citron honey & coriander hand cream 25g-WMBA did the job well, although i prefer the 'feel' of my hands when i use loccitane ones. Still nice enough and pleasant scent. I think theres other scents i will prefer though. This smelled quite lemony to me, i couldnt smell honey. I have more in other scents in stash to try.

Lush serendipity soap sample- WBA its a lavendar smell, i quite liked this and the soap itself is pretty and looks nice next to my sink. Lathers up well and isnt too drying.

Lidl cien gloss shampoo 250ml- WBA this was really good for the price. Wasnt watery, smelled pleasant and did the job! Packaging is good too, i think its supposed to be similar to elvive packaging.

Lush gorgeous moisturiser 10ml- WNBA this is good dont get me wrong! But its not suitsble for my oily acne prone skin as its far too heavy. I felt greasy with it on. I think this would be fantastic for people with dry skin though!

I also have a couple of ins - i replaced one of my fun bars as its gone missing, presumed binned luckily i found someone selling one. And i have a santas belly obsession currently!

Lush santas belly shower jelly 100g

I need to go into the garage (otherwise known as fort knox) today to find some shampoo and conditioner to replace what ive used, and another hair mask as herbal essences one is already running low. We dont have much in the way of cupboards and storage here like we did at my old house so toiletries are in plastic lidded tubs in the garage! Garage is a nightmare to get into though!

I have a uu of epic proportions

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer 1000ml - this lasted forever, I do like it though and have a 500ml bottle to open next plus two small tubes.

I have a uu

Alterna Bamboo Smooth Kendi Dry Oil Mist 25ml - this came in a beauty box ages ago and I love it, I have another mini and have already purchased a full size. What I do not love however is the price.

Two UUs for me thus far

Olaplex no3 100ml- WNBA the whole olaplex system didn't live up to the hype IMO
Bobbi brown eye opening mascara - WNBA the brush was too big for my liking- kept poking myself in the eye with it so I'm glad its now gone!

I think this month will be a moisturiser month as I have quite a few on their last legs. I definitely need to get better at having just one of each type of product in use at once.

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well.
Got my first UU of Feb:
1. Lily Flame Christmas Day Candle. WMBA. It was nice but the wick kept smoking and guttering which my other Lily Flame one didn't so maybe i was just unlucky with this one.

I also TA my Maybelline Great Lash Mascara that I was re-trying last week. I absolutely hated it. It was too wet, the brush was too small and I made a mess every time I tried it.

Swapped a few things around in my makeup basket for next week. I've replaced my 2 Zoeva palettes for a MUR rip off of UD Naked 3 and my Tarte Showstopper palette. Also got out a single L'Oreal eyeshadow in Metal Plum which I used to use all the time but I've neglected it recently. Changed my blushes for Body Shop Bubblegum which is a matte pink and Rimmel Santa Rose which I can't remember if it's too shimmery so it's on a trial run this week. If I don't like it, it's going. I have a stack of things that are on the 'last chance list'!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a satin-finish blush? I don't always want my blush to be completely matte but I'm not keen on shimmery blushes. I have a couple of baked blushes that have a nice sheen without having shimmer/glitter but I'd like to try some others.

Have a nice weekend!

PP update:
1. CKIn2U EDT
2. Vichy Lift Activ Night Cream
3. MUR Pressed Powder (just want to hit pan) - Hit pan! Will keep going though.
4. Primark Coral Blush (just want to hit pan)
5. Benefit Ready Set Brow - This only seems wet on about half the brush so I think I'm getting there. I'm glad because I really don't like it. It makes my eyebrows really crispy!

7. Freedom Primer Water
8. Superdrug Simply Pure Eye Makeup Remover
9. Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer in Ivory
10. Crabtree and Evelyn Gardener's Hand Cream - only a couple of uses left

Deleted_User - how do you rate the Superdrug eye makeup remover please? my 2 faves are Gatineau and Lancome, it would be good to find a bunny free, less expensive one that would shift UD eye pencil and waterproof mascara. Currently using a BS one, but could be better.
