No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries April 2017

UU
Super Facialist Retinol+ Anti-Aging Night Cream 50ml - This was lovely. I was searching for Retinol products for a while and found this in TKMaxx. WDBA but will use up other night creams first.
H&M Mango Body Scrub 50ml - Not a favourite of mine although it worked better than I thought as it did leave me with soft skin. This would suit if you're not looking for a really 'scrubby' scrub. WMBA.

I will hopefully have a couple more finished toiletries by the end of the month.

Hurrah, the Smashbox shimmery gold shadow from my Full Exposure Pallette has been UU. In the end I was trying to scoop it out with an eyeliner brush which became manotinous (sp?) so I crushed the little bits clinging to the sides of the pan with said brush and then crushed it onto my regular eyeshadow brush to use. Do love this colour.

VALM - well done on finishing an eyeshadow, it takes some perseverance.

I have a sort of uu

Soap & Glory Archery Brow & Tint - this is the one with a crayon at one end and a felt tip at the other. It is rubbish and I WNBA. The felt tip does less than half an eyebrow then goes dry and the crayon end is too thick to get a fine line then when I used it the other day it crumbled and broke into 3 bits.

I have been a bad, bad, bad girl. I have enough body scrubs from TBS to keep me going for years, yet more soaps, hand cream, body butter and an Aloe toner from there which is really helping to calm my skin and which was a good buy for a quid in the sale. I might have to snag another one. To be fair, some of it was a birthday voucher and sale purchases giving another £5 voucher on the loyalty card, so the cost was less than otherwise.
This would not be too bad but for snagging some very nicely discounted L'Occ Xmas crackers adding Almond hand creams and soaps. The hand cream smells nice and is smoothing but I think my hands really prefer the high shea., which I am out of.
Then there was a box of perfume with a free gift with purchase.
And another pack of Cream Neroli sheet masks, using up the last of a TKM voucher.
All due to self-medicating with smellies the longest wait ever for a vital piece of financial news.
I will be over here on the naughty step.

Two UU here:
LUSH Percy Penguin Bath Melt quite liked this one
Dove Colour Care Shampoo will be buying more once I've used up the Elvive stuff

I seem to have lost my make up bag i bring to work sometimes, gone is the lovely collection of blushers, lipsticks and what not. If it fell out of my bag off site, it seems like a real lost cause. I looked in the car and oh it is so annoying.

Sympathies on losing the make up bag, savingfortomorrow. I once lost most of my make up when I lost a bag, I scaled down on what I used from that point as it was the loss of the money invested in it that galled me.


A UU - Olay Total Effects Night Moisturising Cream, 37.5ml. I'd started using this when going out for an evening to get it used up, as SPF isn't an issue in the dark. I went to put it on and the pump was dry halfway through the operation
Cue dismembering the pump to get enough cream out to complete doing my face and neck. The cream left in there was quite well hidden, but there were a few scraps in the base that gave me enough to be moisturised without having to wipe it off or risk a reaction with a different cream.
Plus I quite enjoy taking these sort of things apart.

WIB? (I think it was an NBI. Had it a while.)I liked this but as a rule I dislike sleeping with heavy night creams on my face. I usually end up not using a cream every night. I don't think my skin would be vastly better if I did use it.

I think I would literally die if that happened to me!

Savingfortomorrow Sorry to hear you lost your make up bag! I left mine on a train a couple of years ago, realised as soon as I'd got off when terminated so ran back, went through the whole train and told the train cleaners, logged it at lost property and it was never handed in. :mad: Lost my favourite MAC blush. Try to resist buying all new replacements and use what's in your stash!
