No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - February 2017

VALM

7 Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom cleanser HG. Bought replacement.

8. Boots Extracts Coconut body scrub this was a 75ml tube I got in a gift set in the sales. WNBA as it is very runny in consistency. Have 4 more in stash. Whether they are different in consistency I don't know.

9 L'Occitane Divine cream sample sachet I do like this very much. Not sure I would repurchase as it's expensive and I have enough moisturiser at the moment.

I've decided I need a Project Pamper to live up to my signature and use some of the lovely things that are staring at me from my various stash points around the house.

I usually clean my face using wipes as often as not, but I have the most gorgeous Murad facial wash that isn't being used as much as it should be.
So item 1 is Murad Resurgence Renewal Cleansing Cream. This wash off cream is incredibly economical, you literally need an amount the size of a pea to get a wonderful rich and creamy cleanse.

Item 2 is a lovely Revitalift serum that lives in the bathroom, so that will be going on after the face wash along with

Item 3, an A!di Lacura eye cream that has vanished from their shelves, but there are others that are as good.
and
Item 4 a L'Oreal Magic Blur cream that is the nearest thing to a Murad cream in texture I have come across. It doesn't have SPF and is a finishing cream. I have 2 of these.

My feet are also in for Project Pamper, will dig out some unloved facial stuff to use as foot cream. There's always some, somewhere, usually a night cream that was a bit meh, as I am not as big on night cream as day cream.

I went into Boots today and bought some facial wipes - 1 pack for me and 1 pack for Emma. I'm away in Newcastle this weekend and am pretty lazy when away from home with the skincare so will use wipes.

i use caudalie cleansing oil travel size when travelling and it works really well on my heavy make up. it is great takes up so little space in my case.

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.

I used to add any small amounts of the shiny blush to my metorites. Recently, i have been layering blusher to give more defination, i use a pale one and then a darker one. It is a diy version of bobbi brown and charlotte tilbury blushers. It can give a second look to use it as a blusher highlight. I have seen a few youtube videos on draping of two blushers instead of using highlighters, it might help you use up the blush. Failing that pass it on to a friend who would like it.

I have UUs:

Philosophy Christmas Cookie Shower Gel. I bought this from a charity shop a while back and it has been on the go for a long time. I like the smell and feel of it but it is so thick that hard to get it out of bottle. I probably WNBA as I have other gels to use. For a long time at least.

T-Gel Shampoo. Bought this for itchy scalp, didn't really do anything for it. WNBA. Have another one to uu.

I will try to uu some samples as I keep them for travelling and I really don't travel that much. I have loads.

I'm back again this month, one UU so far Liz Earle full size toner. It one of my HG items which I have replaced with the last of my spares.

Spluttering away still is my LE moisturiser, ghost sweetheart perfume, LE trial shower gel.

I think a pamper evening with chocolate and Bridget jones is in order tonight. See if I can use up anymore toiletries.

Hi folks,

One small UU for me a Lush Floating Island bath melt. WBA I like these for a really moisturising bath.

Looking to join in again - life has been a bit hectic and whilst my stash hasn't grown really it's not shrunk either. Stock take pending, spread sheet to be up dated ��

Hi all,

I would like to join you please... have been lurking in the threads for some time and I feel like I need some group support to get my shopping under control. I'll write up later on how big my stash is, here's my list of items I would like to UU in February:

- body lotion Garnier Urea (have had it for approx 2 years, little left but takes AGES to UU)
- Neal's Yard Bee Lovely hand cream (I use it at night and there's prob a week's worth left)
- Hydraluron serum
- Olay moisturiser and serum in 1
- Philip Kingsley flaky and itchy shampoo mini
- Nivea creme care shower gel
- Superdrug vit E exfoliator (so harsh! WNBA even though it does leave my skin smooth)
- Superdrug vit E wipes (my favourite wipes, alongside Simple KTS wipes the only ones I still buy, and I have tested a fair brands / types)

All this should be gone by end of February. Have a good month all!
