No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries May 2017

sunny_money

UU
Max Factor – Facefinity liquid foundation – Warm almond – 30ml. WMBA

My OH has Mabelline Super Stay 24h foundation - Sand 30ml but it dries her skin out too much and she doesn't want it. I'm considering buying the lightest shade in this and mixing it with this to suit my pale skin, it's a risk though and wouldn't be convenient.. Maybe I should just try to sell it.

INs
Vichy Decros - Oil Control shampoo - 200ml - I have quite oily hair and think it's time to use a specific shampoo.
Listerine Advanced White mouthwash - 500ml. This came with a voucher to claim a free full size Barry M Lipstick - Satin Super Slick Lip Paint. This mouthwash will replace current Listerine about to finish.

I hope you will forgive me for feeling a bit smug. I was sent a budget priced hot air styler to review this week and I have just tried it out (it's excellent, there will be a review link later. I attached a photo so it will probably take time to appear on the website).

I've given myself a smart new look with my refreshed hair colour, and trimmed, styled bob. It cost me £1.25 for the colour. Salon price for cut, colour and blow - dry? £45? You tell me, not had one in years!

I don't visit a salon anymore. My hairdresser sold his salon and went mobile about 2 years ago. At first I was upset thinking I'd rather have the salon experience rather than have him come to my home but now I love it as I have his undivided attention so he cuts my hair quicker. He only charges me £20 a time too as he doesn't use any products on my hair. I wash it in readiness of him arriving.

Review of my new hot air brush is up, the selfie got quick approval, so here it is. I'm almost 59, so don't be shocked at the sight of a (relatively advanced in age) old bat.

i finished an elizabeth arden serum gwp sample. it was ok, but not enough to purchase it.

I scooped out all the high lighter from the elizabeth arden high lighter. I was amazed by how much was hidden and pulled out so much product and re potted it into a small container.

I finished half baked eye shadow in naked 2 pallette. 8 left to pan.

I snapped out a wet n wild concealer tube as nothing was coming out, i was so shocked by the amount of goo in the cyclinder. It was a real case of all the concealer was caught in the bottle. i hope the colour does not oxidize.



i was really bad and bought lots of reduced items.

Well done/commiserations on UUing Half Baked. Probably my favourite UD colour. I have both Naked and Naked 2 so plenty of stock. Which of your colours is likely to go next? I used those too palettes last week and my favourites from N2 are Tease and Chopper. I've pulled out the Tarte Energy Noir palette this week to give it some love.

Where do you pick up Wet n Wild from?

In southern ireland it is widely available in one chain of supermarkets and pharmacies. It is a trade secret companies launch in southern ireland before it rolls out internationally as if it does not sell there it will not sell in other countries. There is a trial launch of new colours there with big companies i've been informed by many industry insiders. Ranges like physcian formula did not sell and most likely will not go into circulation.

next shade to go...... will be suspect

UU time and it's one off the PP list - the Aldi Lacura Argan Oil Hand Cream.
WIBA? Possibly not as it left my skin with a slightly waxy, 'coated' feeling and took a long time to rub in.
It's definitely been good for my hands overall, but generally I don't use a lot of hand cream as they are kept moisturised rubbing in foot cream, body lotion/cream/butter/oil etc.

I have a little 50 ml bottle of Sanctuary Body Lotion that I will put in to hand use next.
It's useless as body lotion as it's so thick that only a little dab comes out of the bottle at each squeeze/shake.

One UU this morning:

Nivea Protect & Care Roll On Deodorant 50ml WPNBA. It was nice, but not my favourite Nivea deodorant, but it was nice to try it.

I am shattered from work. I only work part time, which is nice, as I have time to chill out, but this week when I've gotten home from work I am exhausted. Maybe I'm just feeling under the weather.

Hi everyone!

I have a few small UUs and a couple of ins:

UU:
Boots botanics eye make up remover - WMBA but was very greasy
January Labs mist - WPNB didn't feel very luxurious but nor like it did much
GWP size of Claudalie moisture sorbet WPNB I think I've liked other moisturisers more
REN daily supplement moisturiser sample, preferred to above but WPNB
Vichy Normaderm anti perfection moisturiser sample WPNB

I've been trying to use up a few more samples before opening up my new Neals Yard moisturiser

Then in:
Avene gentle cleanser to use as make up remover before other with water cleansers I'm going to UU before buying a nice balm or oil one, or two!

Hi everyone, another week has gone. I was feeling a bit down with work being stressful and disappointing but try to keep going. I haven't had a lot off UUs as I now cycle to work and use minimal make up because of this.
I have been trying to be nice and not buying anything. Mostly successful with one exception. Visited Boots last week to just look around and on their clearance shelf, I have noticed Nails.Inc paint can gift set for £5. It includes a top coat and the paint can (colour name is Porchester Square). I always wanted to try this one, so bought it.

I have uu'ed Clarins Iris toning lotion, a HG and replaced by the same from the stash. I have also UU'ed TBS Chinese Gingseng & Rice mask and a Garnier Time Bomb moisture sheet mask.

TBS masks are really good and 100% vegetarian if anyone is looking for one.I WMBA once I uu some of the masks I have including samples.

GTB sheet mask is nice enough but I find sheet masks a bit dubious :P Prefer a traditional one. WNBA.

Hope all well, have a good week.
