No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2017

Third UU of July:

Alpha H Liquid Gold. WNBA. I'm not convinced, I think I liked the Clarins exfoliating toner more.

I have INs I regret :-(

Benefit minis 3 for £25 offer.
Porefessional - plan to use on "no make up" days instead of powder, hopefully it's good
Porefessional Rescue Matte - literally doesn't work, asking for a refund.
Hoola bronzer - other bronzer cracked so can only use at home. Hopefully I can use as an all over bronzer considering it's size and it's not too dark.

Soap&Glory one heck of a blot foundation - about to finish Est!e Lauder samples. Read reviews online and rated pretty poorly, Boots were happy for me to return it. Replaced with No7 Beautifully Matte.

This was part of the little kit that I carry in my bag for touching up make up, but it had not been used very much and had gone a bit dry, got a few days from it this week though.

2.8ml Estee Lauder Sumptuous mascara 9/69

One UU this morning:

The Body Shop Frosted Berries Body Gel-Lotion 250ml WBA. This was nice but the pump doesn't get any of the product out when it's nearing the end.

I hate getting up this early to go to work. But at least I get to be home before 9pm tonight

UU - Got2b dry shampoo in brunette 250ml - I have a couple of these to keep at my bf's as they are often on offer in Tesco and are cheaper than batiste which is my usual fave. I do quite like these, for a brunette colour they still show with a white-cast on my hair, but not as a bad as batiste. It doesn't work as well as batiste but it's good for the price and when I'm desperate! Still have another one on the go at his.

So.......I can't remember who posted about this (apologies!) but I purchased my first eyeshadow palette in well over a year (ish). I bought the NYX ultimate warm neutrals palette, and I am in LOVE. I collected it yesterday and couldn't stop looking at it, had a play this morning and love my eyeshadow today. I've been panning the same MUA palette all year so having an injection of something fresh and new (and in trend with the reddy colours) feels so good. Is that sad!?

One UU from last night that I forgot to post this morning:

Dentek Silky Whitening Floss Picks 75 count WDBA. It's an easier way to floss. Need to repurchase these.

That palette looks gorgeous. A lot of the colours though are similar to my Smashbox Full Exposure which I was using last week. Today I have pulled out ny Benefit Worlds Neutrals kit (have three powders left in that now - Thanks a Latte is my favourite. I also liked RSVP and may purchase this one again). I've also pulled out an Avon duo called Warm Cashmere plus am still working on my Lorac Pro Matte palette. Although I've hit pan on Latte it is still going strong. Will put this palette away at the end of July though.

Have painted my finger and toe nails today. On fingers wearing OPI Flower to Flower and on toes Rimmel Euphoria. I don't particularly like shimmery colours on my fingers.

Things are going quite slow for UUs which I'm glad of cos I don't want to buy anything now until I go to the US at the end of September. I think I may UU both my day and night creams this week but have plenty in stash.

I am nearing the end of both my Primer and foundation. Want to hold out to replace them both on holiday. Want MAC Prep and Prime and fancy trying a Stick foundation, any recs?

I'm also close to hitting pan on my Laura Geller Balance and Brighten and when my liquid foundation runs out will use this solely (do have a back up of this). I alternate between using this as a finishing powder or No 7 translucent- I think I'll hit pan on this soon too. I want to buy an Hourglass powder on holiday.

Still plugging away at the Maybelline colour tattoo and UD Lo Fi blush. Am bored of using the other UD blushes in the palette so have pulled out Laura Geller Apricot Berry blush and Benefit Rockateur for this week.

Other items on my wish list from US are:-

Sephora Favourites kit (maybe fragrance and lips). These are such good value. They do have a summer release which is gorgeous which I won't be able to get).

Kat Von D Tattoo liner (will depend on exchange rate and whether any offers on)

OPI lacquers of course

I am really low on my Paco Rabanne Olympia perfume.

Maybe the Lorac Pro Nega palette if it's a good price.

I really don't want any blush or highlight and shouldn't buy lip products either.

Hello everyone! :wave:

I have another UU: Creighton's Sunshine Blonde Intensive Conditioner.

WIBA? Yup - HG product. Cheap as chips at 99p a bottle but does a far better job on my hair than stuff that costs way more.

Also, I bought 6 bottles of shower gel that were for sale for 50p in Wilkinsons. They were home brand but 500ml each. Half of them are a blue, sporty type shower gel and the other half a white creamy one that smells of lilac. I'm using a white one at the minute and to be fair, it's not half bad, especially at the price. (I've stuck it in a pump to make it last longer. :money: )
