No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries May 2017

I've started the June thread, thought I would post it whilst it was in my mind to do so. I'll be posting here until Thursday but feel free to post there if it suits.

I finally finished a LHJ:

Aquafresh Complete Care Mouthwash 500ml WBA. I think I'm just not going to buy another mouthwash, I always forgot about them. But this was nice and gentle.

Nice little NBI of a Rimmel Glam'Eyes Five Pan HD Eyeshadow, Foggy Grey.
Glad I didn't let the ugly (imo) name sway me, the colours are very wearable.
Also very good value for a five pan shadow at the moment, if you have a Prime subscription. Always assuming you need an eyeshadow palette, cough.

VALM

29 Nice and Easy conditioner from hair colour kit This was lovely.

The new lipstick was a pure disaster- i pressed my lips together and it came away. It was so bad and a really mistaken purchase.... well that will go into the bin. A total disaster!

INs:
I made an online order. I know my very dry skin needs oil and have missed using natural products. Trying a brand I found while browsing online, a Mr&Mrs duo from Bath - Natural Spa Factory.
Natural Spa Factory - Illuminate Dry Body Oil - 100ml - 52% off
Natural Spa Factory - Green Tea and Coconut Oil Body Polish - 300g - 57% off
Natural Spa Factory - Pearl and Gold Facial Polish - 50ml - 77% off
There could be lots of reasons why these are discounted so heavily but I am hopeful I will be impressed.

I ordered this on lookfantastic, got an email a week after ordering saying my whole order was out of stock, yet it was still available for purchase at the reduced prices on their website. They apologized for the error and said they would update their website. Very disappointed! I've asked Natural Spa Factory directly if they will honour the reduced price *cheeky

Here's my scores on the doors for this month:

UUs - 15
INs - 19
OUTs - 3
TAs - 2

Not a bad month overall, I've just got to stop buying things I don't need at the moment.

May UU List

One final UU for the month:
- M&S Formula Absolute Sleep cream sample. WMB - was nice, sunk in well, very comforting.

So the PP list this month wasn't a huge success! A few to carry over to June:

- [STRIKE]Clinique eye serum (April carry over[/STRIKE])
- [STRIKE]Organic Surge face wash (April carry over)[/STRIKE]
- Neal & Wolf Hair Oil
- Garnier Summer body lotion
- [STRIKE]Elemis Evening bloom dry body oil[/STRIKE]
- Carrefour lip balm
- Nivea hand lotion

And my 5 by summer list
- Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation
- Erno Laszlo face cream
- Kedma eye cream (using on decolletage)
- Ark face scrub
- Soap and Glory Micellar water

I did make a fair dent in everything though, and had some other UUs not included - including another body lotion, and a different lip balm. Bring on June

My PP list for May:

[STRIKE]FCUK body wash (<50ml left)[/STRIKE]
FCUK body lotion (50ish ml left)
[STRIKE]Clinique Clarifying Lotion - I just want this to go, I have been using it occasionally for about 5 years!!
A body scrub, I have 4 currently open so 1 has to go
Avon foundation, I have cut the tube open so need to finish[/STRIKE]

I was quite successful on my PP list! Only the body lotion left and the bottle is currently upside down and needing hit very hard to get any lotion out!

One more May UU before I head over to June,

14. Caudalie Vinexpert Firming serum, 2ml sample - WMB, my skin looked brighter and this tiny tube took me a week to get through! Still have one sample tube left.

May totals
14 UU and 2 Ins, both necessary
