No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2017

asset2004

Been MIA for several weeks, in fact can't remember if I posted last month or not!
My new job has been manic and not been at home or online much but did make some progress this week as I made up some gift parcels using a host of No7 products.
Does anyone remember the £5 off voucher from a couple of years ago (maybe 4 I think?) where you could use 2 No7 vouchers and get three items for hardly anything??
Well I did end up with quite a few (ahemm!) and UU progress was so slow so I had a brainwave last week and made them up as gifts to colleagues whom have helped me at an event I was organising - so have got rid of about 25ish products!
Feel quite relieved as I had no idea how I'd get to UU them all up! Plus it was too good to throw out but wrapped in clear cellophane with frilly bows looked quite nice
Anyway I still have lots of spares of everything and my stash hardly looks like I've made any inroads into it!

A slow month however no INs so far. Have several items which are close to being used up so I'm confident they'll be gone by the end of the month. What's stopped me buying stuff is the fact I want to de-clutter. All my toiletries have actually spilled over into boxes outside the storage trollies. The first goal is to reduce the stash enough to fit everything into the storage trollies!

UU
Original Source Watermelon & Jojoba Oil Body Butter 200ml - I got this cheap in Savers and it was lovely. I liked the fresh subtle scent. It's not too thick which is good for this time of year. WDBA. Will use up stuff I already have first though.

One UU from this morning:

Paula’s Choice Calm SPF30 Mineral Moisturiser sample WMBA. This was nice. It leaves a bit of a white cast but it does disappear.

Hi

This is my first update in July:

UU
Dove Magonlia and Pastashio Body Wash
Avon Supreme Oi Conditioner
Superdrug B Glycolic Peel
Avon Suncare Sensitive Suncream SPF 50
Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel
Westlab Espom Salt
Tea Tree Oil

In
Asda Little Angels Body Oil
Korres Wild Rose Facial Oil x 2
Avon Preimum De Luxe Gold Blush Parfum x 3

Total = 85


There are has been more ins as Marks and Spencer are doing a 2 for 1 on Korres Facial Oil. £30 bottle cost £15 each due to the offer and I had 20% off my Spark card so cost £12 each. Fantastic bargain. This my replacement for the Ojon oil when it runs out (really sad) and will use on my hair and face.

I had to stock up on my perfume from Avon as it was in the clearance book. It such a beautiful perfume and amazing reviews and at lost why they look like that they going discontinue it. I going to complain!

A quick update before i'm off on holiday tomorrow, hopefully with lots of UU at the end of it!

UU:

Treacle Moon Marshmallow Bubble Bath. WDBA.
Palmolive Mint Shake Shower Cream WDBA.
Soap and Glory Clean on Me Shower Gel mini WBA.
Fearne Body Scrub Years old from a gift set but was actually really nice!
Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil WDBA, but i am enjoy a NYX one so we shall see.
Clarins One Step Purifying Cleanser WNB. I disliked the smell more than anything and its too expensive for what it is.
La Vie Belle Perfume Sample WNB

I feel like i'm making slow progress this month, however it's very likely my living situation will have to change before the end of the year so i really need to make some effort decluttering once i'm back.

Tested all my concealers today, took photos. Honestly don't think any made a difference / don't really like the different texture they give. I have very bad dark circles, tempted to try orange concealer but all the you tube video uses several other concealers and setting powder on top so not sure if I just want to give up on concealers for good or take the time to figure out some serious full coverage solution :undecided. I'm definitely going to sell / GA one though: Max Factor Eye Illuminizer, doesn't blend well.

morning all

UU 15 over the weekend: Redken Extreme Cat spray - WNBA, there was no noticeable difference using this.

on a roll this month!

Couple of things to report -
GA - the two hypnose drama mascaras. Tried one and it did nothing for me whatsoever,so gave them both to my mum. Who in turn gave me some of my INS:
1. bourjois 1 second volume mascara (my HG). Mine is on its last legs so this was a very good NBI!
2. Palmolive shower gel as mine is almost out
3. aldi hand cream for my desk at work
4. caudalie hand cream (also from my mum)
5. Aldi spray on body moisturiser - I'm staying at my bf's this week and ran out of my moisturiser

UU -
1. Charles Worthington hair mask, this was in a purple tub. It was fine, my mum gave it to me half opened, would buy if on offer but not at full price.
2. Lancome bi-facil - HG, already bought back ups
3. Garnier 7 days intensive moisturiser - I buy this one a lot. Used up at the bf's, I'm moisturising every day atm to keep my tan from holiday (been about a month now but it's still hanging on, partly because of the moisturising I think!)

500ml L’Occitane Verbena Liquid Soap 1/34

I am having a horrid flare up of eczema on my hands and awaiting delivery of 3 x 500 ml L'Occitane Lavender Liquid Soap, all other hand wash/liquid soap will be put in OH's bathroom and the kitchen and my bathroom will have the Lavender, at least until the skin is well back to normal. Need to test the hand creams and body butter/lotion and put aside anything irritating for the time being. The itching is driving me mad:mad::mad:
