No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - March 2017

VALM

1. Kat Von D Tattoo liner in Trooper. Once this has gone I'm going to also attempt to UU Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil in Zero

2. Urban Decay eye pencil in Vice. Not sure I can UU two eyeliners but want to use this more.

3. The Body Shop Amazonian Lily perfume. I just don't reach for this and may use it as room spray.

4. NARS Rakugian lip crayon. Is stumpy now so want to UU to the point where I can't sharpen it anymore.

5. UD The OC blush from the Gwen Stefani palette. Is better suited as a bronzer on me. Have hit pan and want to UU completely.

What's the end date on this challenge?

I have a uu

Samy Fat Hair 0 Calorie Thickening Spray - WMBA but I do prefer a cream thickening product. I have had this a long time and it is good to see it go in the recycling.

VALM - would it be best to finish the 5 by Summer challenge on June 21st? That way each challenge gets 3 full months.

Another uu

Philosophy Spiced Gingerbread Cookie Shower Gel, Shampoo & Bubble Bath 500ml - I used this for all 3 purposes and it worked well, more in the stash of this scent and a ton of others too, I need to work through them as they are taking up a lot of room.

I've recently opened up the Philosophy Fresh Cream shower gel which I love. Don't actually own any other Philosophy ones other than this.

I've been bad, I felt like crap after a bad day on Friday, so I have some INs to report:

Caudalie Gentle Cleansing Milk 100ml
REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk 50ml
REN Evercalm Anti-Redness Serum 10ml
REN Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream 15ml

And these came with a free gift from Escentual, a DHC sample pack which contains:

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil sample
DHC Face Wash Powder sample
DHC Eye Bright sample
DHC Velvet Skin Coat sample

I've also started using one of the cleansers in my stash, but it's left my skin feeling terrible, thank god I tested it on one part of my face. But I'm going to re-purpose it as either a hand wash or body wash. I don't want to waste it, and it's a lovely scent.

March is going a bit better for me in terms of using up!

UUs
2 x Mitchum Deodorants - HG. I seem to have lots of half full cans, but I think I'm at the end of them now.
2 x Sensodyne toothpastes - HG. 1 at mine and 1 at my partner's place.
1 x Dentyl mouthwash - WDBA. There's a bit of a weird fascination with seeing all the stuff you're swilling away!
1 x Shea Butter moisturiser - bought from a craft fair a while ago. Works really well on my stress eczema which flairs up every now and then. If I see them again, I'd probably buy some more!
1 x Soap and Glory foot cream. WMBA. Smells nice, but doesn't make a real impact on my feet.
1 x Body Shop Vitamin E face spray. WNBA. Not entirely sure what I bought this for, but I used it to freshen my skin. Didn't make any difference, so won't buy again.
1 x Body Shop Frosted Apple shower gel. I love the smell of this, wish I'd picked up some more at Christmas. WDBA if I could find it!
1 x Victoria's Secret body spray. I can't remember the scent name, but I like these for a quick spray in the mornings!

Throw Aways
These have all been in my dressing table for ages and had gone a bit off!
1 x Body Shop nail oil - smelt like mouldy flowers!
1 x Body Shop rose body butter - smelt really really bad, I wouldn't have even put it on my feet!
2 x Piz Buin suncreams. I've had these for maybe 3 years, and after a recent scare with a mole I need to be more careful so as they loose effectiveness over time I've binned them!
1 x Lush soap - I'm not a fan of bar soaps, don't really know why I bought this. It was orange, but no idea what variety. Dried my skin out, so I've chucked it!
1 x Nair facial hair remover - again it's been open for ages and had gone a bit clumpy so it's gone!

Also had a clear out of my make up. I don't have that much, I've never been a big make up hoarder, but still through away 6 items - all been hanging around for at least 5 years. Including a foundation which was as mismatched with my skin as it could be - I'm super pale and this looked almost David Dickinson when I tried it!!

8 Ins so far this month, but all essentials.
1 x Herbal Essences S&C - the ones I have in my shower only have 2 washes left in them.
1 x Mitchum Deodorant - The one at my partner's ran out so had to pick one up or smell like a boy all weekend!
2 x Mouthwashes - on buy one get one free and I'd used the last one in my stash.
1 x Benefit They're Real mascara - have really been eeking out the one I have but there's practically nothing left!
1 x Nivea in shower moisturiser - on offer, and I'm lazy at moisturising after showers so this helps!
1 x Boots sensitive hair removal cream. As the weather is getting warmer, I need to get my legs sorted haha!

Not happy with my skin at the moment, its very dry and my hands are cracked and bleeding due to this cold spell. Hoping spring weather will come soon and my skin will heal.

One sample UU:

Paula's Choice Resist 2% BHA Pore-Refining Treatment WPNB as I like the 2% BHA Liquid more. But this was nice.

seasideDreamer

UU for me Lush Love Lettuce Face mask, gone off this and its actually probably gone off too but have another to use unfortunately. At least that one smells a bit better
