No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries May 2017

VALM

20 Boots No 7 face wipes Emma has been home this week hence the quick UU of these. More in stash.

21 10ml L'Occitane Shea hand cream I think I still have some minis in stash but am going to keep using the full sized Cow Shed hand cream that was on my desk. Will keep it in my hand bag.

VALM

So have chosen 2 new categories:-

A product you dislike - the only product I have that I truly dislike is the TBS perfume in my Finish 5 so I will wear this again this week and try to get rid. I've even been spraying it down the toilet bowl!!

Product in your favourite colour. This is Red. Am going to keep ESSIE With the Band in rotation.

Emma has donated 4 x 50ml bodybutters back to me. Need to pick up a scrub though.

Finally a UU!!

St Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower - Medium 200ml - I read reviews before buying that advised going a shade darker than usual so I did, and agree with that advice. At first I didn't think it worked well and it was annoying to stand in the shower waiting for it to develop but now I really like it! It's easier to do in the shower, and I know I can't be bothered sometimes with regular tan after showing. But a regular tanning product does actually work better, so its good top up product. It's not very economical though. WBA but I do have 3 regular tanning lotions to use...

I also UU a deodorant but that's boring and I don't have a problem with deodorants so will not mention in the future.

I've been a bit slack with a few PP products, but on the whole doing well. Makes me realise just how long it can take to UU and not to be so worried about running out / buying spontaneously. I might try to estimate how long it takes to use some things.

I'm currently tempted by Charlotte Tilburys glow range *eek* anyone tried it?

My weekly update:-

UU
Avon Premium De Lux Parfum
Body Shop Satsuma Soap
Superdrug B Glycolic Cleansing Peel
Simple Kind of Skin Moisturiser

IN
Beauty Balm Min Lip Balm x 2
Avon Premium Lux Gold Blush
Avon Premium Lux (Travel Size)
Avon Premium Lux (Travel Size)

Total = 96


I always get a little panicky when Avon brochure does not have my perfume in their catalogue so I stockpiled on ebay. Cannot recommended the Premium De Lux Gold Blush Perfume enough. Its smells beautiful. Everyone loves it at work and so cheap when you compare with high street brands.

One UU tonight:

DHC Face Wash Powder sample WBA. This was surprising. For a foaming cleanser this is very gentle. This was fun to use as well. Add a little bit of water to the powder and rub your hands together and boom, a cloud of foam. This was very gentle and it didn't strip my skin or leave it tight. I'm definitely going to purchase this once I've used a few cleansers up.

My moisturiser is nearly finished, there's just enough left for the morning

Congrats on passing your theory test sstevo19

Sorry to hear things have been tough houseplant, really hope you're feeling better soon.

Sunny money I too am tempted by the Charlotte tilbury glow range, I do like her products although think they are very expensive. I watched her tutorial on YouTube using the new glow palette, the model in the video is gorgeous - was disappointed to see though that it seems that a blurring filter was used on the video (this clearly was not needed!) Read in the comments and then watched back and you can quite clearly see for a second or so. Shame as the products should speak for themselves.

UU the sanctuary lily and rose body lotion 75ml, not a huge fan of this. Very difficult to get out of the bottle and similar to the shower gel I couldn't really smell any rose.

I've got a Sanctuary body lotion - travel size- that I was using as handcream, for the life of me I couldn't get more than a 5p sized dab out of the bottle each time.
If Sanctuary make it near impossible to dispense these cream type lotions they may be customer friendly and look a good buy in that they last longer (and I hate products that dispense too generously) but eventually people will get fed up with them.

UU'd something I'd forgotten I had, a large bottle of a Garnier Ultra Body Lotion. I forget the variant, but it was a 7 days one for dry skin.
WIB? Maybe, if on offer or even available. I've reviewed a lot of Garnier lotions but don't always spot them on shelves.

Thanks KT2802, I will check out the video. Might try and go to a store and get some samples before I splurge on the kit :eek:

One UU this morning:

La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml WDBA but sadly this has been discontinued in the UK, but I know I can still pick it up on FeelUnique for the time being, or I could buy it from the French Pharmacy website I use. Love this, it's light and nourishing at the same time.
