No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2017

I have some uu

Imperial Leather Sherbert Lemon Shower Gel 250ml - this is OK but I like the fruit salad scent the best.

Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada Body Butter 200ml - WNBA, I like the coconut one but not this one so much, it is a totally different texture and I don't love the scent. I do have 5 more pots to use though.

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream 250ml - I like this but WNB at full price.

I also have two ins

Philosophy Amazing Grace Shower Gel 480ml - found for £1 in a charity shop with its little seal still intact. I have a few bottles of this but too much of a bargain to leave.

Nip & Fab Glycolic Pads - this is a pack of 10 I have been sent to test, not sure how much I will be able to tell from just 10 though.

Two UUs to report:

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Butter 50ml WBA. This was nice and nourishing for my feet. I might buy it in winter if I need a body butter for my skin, as it's a bit too heavy to use on my body during summer. Nice scent though

The Body Shop Mango shower gel 60ml WBA. This was nice and fruity. A great way to start any day, but now I am going to start using my bottle of Rose Jam that I've been saving since Christmas.

Another UU this afternoon:

REN Rosa Centifolia Cleansing Gel 50ml WNBA. This left my skin slightly irritated when I was patch testing it, so I've been using it as a hand wash. And it's finally gone.

I'm on a roll this month of using things up. Let's see what other products I can get finished this month.

Outs:
I sold a few of my OHs and my rejects:
Maybelline - Superstay foundation - made OHs skin dry
Neutrogena - CC cream - just horrible
Max Factor - Eye Luminizer - doesn't blend well

INs:
Simple - micellar make up remover 400ml - to replace soon to be finished bottle. It's my OHs HG for make up remover but not mine though, I may have to try something else.
Palmers - Coconut oil hand cream - OHs emergency purchase that I know will become shared! (I already have 5 though!)

I am a recent convert to Palmers Raw Shea hand cream.

Finished

B.Kamins lip balm. Meh. It worked, my ward really dries your skin and lips out. But it's in one of those squeeze tubes that you rub along your lips. Don't like those at all. So WNBA.

Atelier Cologne. Orange Sanguine. One of those little glass vials. Love this, used this sample but mistake had been saving them for trips because each vial lasts 2-3 days. So will buy again and remind myself not to use the vials!

It's raining again

A few more UUs from me to report

Nivea self tan lotion WNBA not likely to repurchase this type of product again as my body is always covered up these days.

Colgate toothpaste deep clean WBA once the remaining of stash have gone

Manuka dr serum sample - WNBA why do all Manuka Dr samples have a weird smell?

Sanex deo - WBA

La roche Posay Ultra cream 2ml sample WNBA rubbed in nice but sample so small not so sure I would purchase

TA Nivea self tan spray - gave it a good go but couldn't get on with this one and considering the age and the fact I sourced it for 10p from a clearance self I was not going to battle with it any longer.

I will be trying the Atelier perfumes when in US. Any more recommendations?

I like citrus scents for work. They also do a mandarin scent and on that is grapefruit blend. Magnolia Sud isn't bad for a floral

Sephora has sampler tins for Atelier. Four or five small spray vials. I don't like vanilla scents so they get gifted. The vetiver blend was too masculine for me and the husband loves it.

A friend who is a perfume blogger suggested Orange Sanguine for me and she hit the nail on the head.

Atelier is French, so if you do small trips there it might be cheaper for you?

Sephora usually has the little glass vials as one of the things you can pick when you order on line, so I always go for them.

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.

It is really nice, the selling point for me was that I don't have any similar shades but if you've got similar then perhaps not worth it. It's a good price though (£16 for 16 eyeshadows) and a better option for someone like me than the UD heat palette, when I can't guarantee I would get use out of all the shadows!

I would love a lorac palette, would you recommend them? Are they similar in quality to UD?
