No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2017

fixx

A few UU recently:
- Garnier Olia hair dye - my usual, HG.
- Percy & Reed hair perfectly perfecting wonder balm. WDDNB! Horrible stuff - tried it a few times, but left my hair either straw like or sticky. Used up as a shave gel, which it was pretty good for...
- L'eau de Rose edp 30ml. WNB - got this in some beauty box. Wasn't a fan of the scent on me, so used it to spray drying laundry which was quite nice.
- mini random perfume sample - same, sprayed on laundry
- sachet of Max Factor 2 in 1 foundation + serum. WNB - fine but nothing special.

And a couple of INs:
- Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Purple Toning Shampoo - as my current bottle is almost out, and this is my HG. Each bottle lasts a good 6 months anyway.
- Coop acetone free nail varnish remover. Bought as I really needed remover, and it was the only shop open. Hate it - smells, and I don't get on with acetone free versions, they just don't work. Will be replaced shortly

GMAT - of course you can join in with the Autumn challenge, I will post my list soon.

Hermia

Some UUs

Philosophy Christmas Cookie shower gel - WBA if it was on sale.

Sanctuary White Lily and Damask Rose body lotion - lovely product, but expensive considering how small the bottle is. Would only buy if it was on sale.

Johnson's Face Wipes - nice, but too expensive as the Boots own brand are just as good.

berts bees menthol deep cleansing wash

it was cooling in winter but so sticky and difficult to remove from skin in summer, it did not wash off easily.,,, standing under hot water for ages trying to remove this tar.
it was awful as a face wash, worse as a shower gel. an epic disaster, would i buy it again, hell no! it was like terrible and not worth the hassle of carrying it home.

i have been bad this week no make up and look like i was dragged through a hedge backwards, it gives volume to the hair, along with with twigs and bark as accessories. I look l raw but not a like a melted mess as there is no a/c in places i work and it is so uncomfortable. So no other used up items.

One UU this morning:

Hello ladies! Hope you are enjoying the UK heatwave, it has been torrential rain showers in Hong Kong for the last 10 days straight!!! No rain today, so fingers crossed that normal weather service has resumed :cool:

I've had a few UU this week, so I'll tell you about them before the Ins :rotfl:

10. Soap & Glory Clean on Me 75ml - I struggle to use this in summer, it's more of a winter fragrance to me but I added some of a Lush shower gel which had a really strong fragrance so it still smelled good. I think I have a 500ml bottle in my stash and I don't know how long it will take me to get through all that!

11. Caudalie Firming serum sample - 2nd tube but didn't seem as effective as the first.

12. So Exclusive body spray - small size from a Xmas gift set

13. Nature Republic (Korean brand) pressed powder, all the writing has rubbed off so I don't know which kind. I liked this because it had SPF50 so I felt my face was well protected.

And now 3 Ins, all kind of necessary ...

Banana Boat SPF100 aerosol sun spray - I love this, this is my 3rd bottle, the spray goes on really fine and rubs in much easier than the suncream. I am pale and freckly so I don't take any chances with sun care in Hong Kong, I have burned way too often :eek:

I am going on holiday in 5 weeks :j:j:j but I have a lot of acne on my back and shoulders, my face is fine so I have bought an acne facial wash for my back and a spot spray to use after my shower, hopefully it will do something!

Keep up the pampering ladies!

Had a little flurry of UU:

Soap and Glory Orangeasm mini Shower Gel 75ml WBA. I like pretty much all of the Soap and Glory scents and would buy this again. I won't be in any rush to but i do like it!

Avon Naturals Hair Mask WDNBA, Didn't even bother looking up the proper name. I was given this by my nan, it was pretty useless and my hair feels even drier than before using it.

Soap and Glory Smoothie Star Body Scrub 50ml HG- WDBA. Love this stuff, smells good enough to eat and i love to use it before shaving my legs. I've got a few mini scrubs of other brands to use before i repurchase the full size.

Garnier Ultimate Blends Restoring Body Lotion (Sample) WBA. I'm not in the market for a body lotion, probably not for at least a year, but i'd definitely buy this one!

And an In:
L'Oreal Brow Artist Expert Pencil I really dislike the brow pencil that came in my Birchbox so will put it in my emergency work make up bag. This seems a dupe of one of the Benefit pencils with the similar shape so i thought i'd give it a shot.

I will join in with the Finish 5 by Autumn challenge- just need to have a rummage in my make up stash to choose some items!

I have two ins

Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan 400ml - these were on BOGOF in Superdrug, I'm wearing a lot of skirts and dresses at the moment and need a bit of colour.
