No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - March 2017

  • Hi everyone! How are we all?
    February was a hugely spendy month for me so I need to be very good in March! Shouldn't really need any ins.

    Here's a flurry of UUs I have had:
    Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm WBA this was my second one it's very lovely, probably HG but can't afford to buy another one at the moment - need to use up some others first.
    TBS anti perspirent from men's range - WBA as loved the scent but it's a bit expensive
    Lush Aroma Cleanse - WPNBA as think I could make something like this cheaper so I'm going to try with things I already have
    Pantene Pro V Conditioner - WNBA but have another one on the stash from a points offer. My hair feels good after using this but something is irritating my scalp and I think it is this.
    Sample size of mystery facial oil - WNB as not sure what it was, also not that into the smell

    1 The Rituals The Ritual of Dao foaming body wash This is lovely and I would repurchase. In fact I have another set that I got in the M&S sale (red coloured) which I'll use at some point in the future.

    My finish 5 by Spring list:

    1. [STRIKE]Soap & Glory Gloss Stick in Plum Jam[/STRIKE]
    2.[STRIKE] Witch Concealer stick[/STRIKE]
    3. Benefit Dandelion Blush
    4. No7 Crème Touch Powder in Candlelight
    5.[STRIKE] Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Rosegold[/STRIKE]

    Not long to go with these items now, as soon as March 20th is here I will call them done. There is barely any powder left now and the blush is taking a lot of work to get enough on my brush.



    I feel the same way about the Smashbox Full Exposure palette and Benefit Dallas.

    We have a couple of the same products on the go. What do you make of the Wonder Balm? I'm really not sure that it does anything! Am, however, loving the Soap & Glory Righteous butter at the mo. Have missed this fragrance. Mine is only a 50ml pot though so won't last much longer.

    I have put about 20 eyeshadow singles/duos/quads etc in a basket which is a sort of last chance saloon. I am trying them out over the coming days and if I don't like them they will either be chucked or given away. They are all things that have just been sat in my makeup drawers and never getting touched.

    The first to go are:

    Revlon Quad in Decadent - awful colour payoff, lots of fallout and a muddy finished look.

    Benefit Passport to Posh - this is one of their very large boxed palettes which had a mini mascara in (this was used ages ago), 3 eyeshadows, boing concealer and Eyebright plus a mini pot of rsvp cream shadow and 2 brushes. Boing is a good concealer but this is in colour 02 (they always put this one in) and it is bright orange, Eyebright is supposed to be a cream but is so stiff and dry I can't do anything with it, I have taken out the 3 shadows, brushes and mini cream shadow and got rid of the huge box.

    I also have about 25 nail polishes which are all getting the same treatment.

    1 UU, the Living Proof Full Mousse. I bought a travel size of the volumising set to see if I like enough to shell out for the fill sizes. I think I probably would. I still have the Living Proof Root Spray to use though, so we'll see which I prefer. Love the smell of the whole range.
    No more goo hoarding!

    Living Proof is on my US Wishlist I think.

    2 Garnier Oil Infused Micellar wipes claimed to remove all make up. Did not.

    Have bought some no 7 wipes today. The Garnier eye make up remover I have doesn't remove mascara so I am on a mission to find a wipe that will or at least a wipe that I can follow up with the Garnier makeup remover. I do have a L'Occitane make up remover bottle in stash and really want to try this but will wait til all the Garnier makeup remover is UU. Wipes only cost me £2 with no 7 voucher. Also bought new pencil sharpener which was £2 too.

    Did go in Boots to buy Kind Natured shampoo but my Boots don't stock it. Will have to look in Superdrug for alternative.
