No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - March 2017

Re the L'oreal low shampoo, I have massaged it into my hair at the start of my shower, done all other in-shower things, and then washed it out at the end. It's a lot quicker than my usual 2x shampoo then conditioner routine, though I am finding that I need to wash my hair daily with it (not unusual, I get quite greasy roots).

Happy Birthday Shed45!
I have some UUs:
Lush Yuzu and Cocoa shower gel small size - WMBA was nice but not totally my thing
- Lush Monsieur Gustav bath melt - WPBA smelled really good lavender and herbal
- Lush Divination re-usable bubble bar - WMBA although took a lot of agitating the water to get lots of bubbles and it only lasted three baths. Liked the smell and turned the water a lovely purple. Really nice paired with the bath melt above and also oil over troubled water0 -
Three UUs tonight:
Lush Peeping Santa bubble bar WBA. Such a nice scent and its a moisturising bubble bar.
Bomb Cosmetics Purple Rain soap WBA. This was a nice scent and a gentle soap. It also lasted for about 5 to 6 months.
The Body Shop Vanilla Chai Body Gel-lotion WBA and have a spare waiting to be used. Its last three months with near daily use.0 -
Evening all
Few UUs and Ins for me so far this month.
UUs
1) Spa orange body wash 275ml - wnb did not like this and smell was too artifical.
2) Toni & Guy rough texturiser 200ml - wnba did not do what it was meant too and hair went flat almost immediately
3) Gatineau defi lift 3d revolumising lip care 10ml - wba and have another one to use as does seem to plump lips slightly
4) morrisons sensitive toothpaste 100ml - wnba as did not help much with my sensitive teeth (no longer have a stock of toothpaste so will not count in future)
5) 007 for women 0.7ml - wnb as not keen on scent
6) Garnier moisture bomb 1ml - wmb did a good job, not greasy and skin felt lovely after use
7) Elemis frangipani monoi bath & shower nectar 7ml - wmb smelt lovely and did not need much but have other shower gel/creme to use first.
Night all

While im here. I dont count make up personally i only count toiletries as thats my main problem area, but can i ask you guys for some reccomendations? I have only just started wearing lip colour, never used to bother, but i like to look more grown up at my new job. Im using lush it started with a kiss tint or an avon lip stick. However if i dont drink constantly through day i get awful headaches. Cant be nipping off every 2 minutes to re apply and no sooner than i am in office then drinking has took most of it off. Anyone got any reccomendations for a product that will help keep the colour on? As i really like these colours. Does the lipcote thing do the job well?
If you own YSL Touch Eclat, it is good at keeping the lip colour in place. The product itself is really good for everything anyway :rotfl: Any concealer would do the same as well as exfoliating the lips and moisturising them will help.
Hope all well, had a busy weekend and now again back to work tomorrow. Haven't had any UU's. I have found a small bottle of Benetint - I decided to use this until the end of the month and if not UU'd by then, it will go to bin. I am hoping to TA some bits and bobs this week too.ally.0 -
A couple of disappointing UUs
19) Montagne Jeunesse sauna mask - WNBA, total rubbish. Went very hot for about 15 seconds and then that was it. My skin looked exactly the same afterwards. Also does anyone else find the weird photos of models with fruit exploding from their eyes on the packaging disturbing?!
20) Gatineau Vitamina Suractivee hand cream - WNBA, also total rubbish. I had to constantly reapply it as it did so little to moisturise my hands. My hands are definitely now looking worse for wear.0 -
I have a uu
Aromatherapy Associates Revive Evening Bath Oil 7.5ml - I am getting close to the end of my large stash of these oils now and am rationing them a bit, this one was one of my favourite ones.
Hermia - I find a lot of mask are a complete waste of time, I have a few which I really rate and am going to stick with those in the future.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
