No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries May 2017

savingfortomorrow

I bought a palmers facial oil today. The ingredients seem really good. Hopefully it will be nice but not too greasy.

Had an unexpected UU, went to use a nose pore strip and there was only one left in the box, hurray! Does anyone else use these? I'm never sure whether they are worth the faff or if I should just be exfoliating to clean my pores.

UU 13. The Face Shop charcoal nose strips - not sure whether to buy again, they definitely have an effect, the yuk factor when you pull it off!

I think for me the reason I like the pore strips is that you can actually see what has come out of your pores so feel it has actually done something whereas if I exfoliate I don't get the same pleasure IYSWIM

Three more UU to report for May:

Steam Cream WBA. Used this on holiday for sunburn, it works really well.

E45 spray moisturiser WBA. Really like this, easy to use and absorbs well.

Aveda moisturiser WNBA. This was a freebie but didn't find it all that good.

Great to see newbies still joining us and welcome!

IN (sort of ) I bought some Johnson's Fragrance Free baby wipes to use as facial wipes from Mr T as I forgot to get any from A!di, the princely sum of 50p. I will get the Lacura wipes the next time I actually remember to do so, which may be some time...

Had a cute little eyeshadow palette arrive and a rather dramatic lippy too, will post review links when done.
My new job teaching online took up a big chunk of my weekend, but it has gone quiet now, which is no bad thing. I had 3 busy days which is great, hoping for 4 of these a week.

i used up a sachet of the lavender and hops'- it was nice but really not sure it was amazing. I have two left so no firm decision yet.

I throw out the wet n wild concealer as light was more of a honey beige. it was not a great match but it was a great concealer for someone else. I would need am extra extra light.

I finished e45 shower'- it was like white paint and i was not loving it for showers, I used it as a bath additive to use it up. I would pick another item from the range.

Hi everyone,

I've been properly MIA haven't I. Been going through a bit of a tough time/some upheaval, nothing compared to recent events. VALM thinking of you and the people in your community.

No ins for me though, and a few small UUs

Neals Yard hair treatment with rosemary (I think! Can't remember the name now!) WBA really liked the scent of this helped clear my head and made hair feel good next day. Although seemed to be mostly coconut oil and essential oils to may try to make my own.

Lush sleepy body lotion - WBA if around love the scent of this and really moisturising and relaxing.


Can't remember if I logged my Bobbi Brown foundation stick UU - WBA as nice but using Hourglass similar product and loving it.

One UU tonight:

Paula's Choice Resist Antioxidant Serum sample WNB. It was a nice light consistency but it's not something I would use at this point.

But I have no samples left to try. I like them because I can get a feel of whether I'll enjoy a product or not. I'm not going to use the FeelUnique pick and mix service until I've finished a few more skincare products.

Thanks pinkfluffybabe, my skin needs E45 but the cream form can 'lather' on the skin so I will try this spray next time.

I decided to TA the Nuxe lip balm I got in my Feel Unique advent calendar as I don't like the gritty bits Band can't apply the right amount. Am using a Burts Bees stick Balm now.

Also decluttered a small size Philip Kingsley hair polish (I think), Urban Decay mini Perversion mascara, BUmble and Bumble cream mini tube and some Urban Decay foundation samples. Do have quite a stash of shower gel minis which I will use for holidays.

So we moved Emma back from Uni and my stash grew with body lotions she won't use and shower gels that she has not used yet either.

Also MRM worked away last weekend and one of his sales rep ladies gave him 2 Sanctuary Spa in shower moisturisers. Won't be keeping as they smelt the same as any other Sanctuary Spa product.

If anyone wants any of the above and PM me before tomorrow when the bin men come I'll happily send them on.

27 Boots Extracts Mango Body Wash feel the same way as I do about the butter. I cut this tube open and ran the remainder through my bath water.

I think I'll be able to finish a pack of cotton wool pads and another 50ml body butter before the end of the month. I'm then planning to bring out my Rituals kit.

28 50ml Boots Extracts Vanilla body butter WBA. Maybe I will soon as I still have masses of Philosophy Fresh Cream shower gel to which I don't think I have a matching lotion.

The Rituals items are gorgeous although I'll have to be careful with the scrub because it's dry.
