No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2017

Another July UU:

Liz Earle cleanse and polish. WNBA. This was a gift and while it's a good cleanser, I'm no longer a fan of the brand.

I have my own PP going on, deadling 31st September, of the following items:
Finish shimmery eyeshadow in MUA 2 palette
Clarins liquid facial tan
[STRIKE]No7 lipgloss
Mac lipstick in viva glam 4[/STRIKE]
HIt pan on 1 new blush
[STRIKE]vita liberata facial fake tan[/STRIKE]
ELF loose powder
Burberry body spray
Marc jacobs lipstick
Finish gold eyeshadow in MUA 2 palette
Jack Wills body spray
[STRIKE]Hit pan on one new eyeshadow Fiery eyeshaow MUA 2[/STRIKE]
Finish soap & glory higlight/bronzer

I UU my can of Batiste tropical 200ml - HG, went out and bought 3 more as they were on 3 for
2.

Two from my PP list -
I hit pan on a gorgeous bronze-y eyeshadow from MUA 2 palette which I am panning.

I also UU my vita liberata self-tanning moisture mask (for the face). This was an odd one- I like the effect it gave, as it was a subtle by noticeable glow, and the moisture it gave was nice. However, the smell was really odd and really strong, almost like a burnt smell, and I'm pretty sure it's given me some extra white bumps that I've never had before. So overall WNBA, but maybe other people would get on better with it.

2 INs but Free to test
Whitening toothpaste, it's charcoal so makes your gums black while you are cleaning. I'm not sure if it is actually making the teeth whiter though
Cleanser arrived this morning , not used it yet but it's a big bottle!

UUs:
African Pride Braid Sheen Spray

L'oreal Skin Perfection Gentle exfoliator- wnba - Pleasant grapefruit smell but too drying and has microbeads, which is not good for the environment

Lumiere l'hiver Prep and protect leave in conditioner spray - WNB, didn't see any difference to the condition of my hair.

Superdrug Cracked heel repair cream - WMBA contains urea and softens the heels

TA - Tresemme wave creating spray - WNB - Hair felt flat afterwards

Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Reconstructor 750ml WDBA. I'm calling it quits on this as I can't reach the last bit in the bottom of the bottle. This is amazing, it helps my hair so much.

The Reconstructor is my HG conditioner - I've been using it for years, nothing else has been as good. For some reason I've never got on so well with the shampoo though - it's just average on me. Really glad it works for you - the big bottles of it are such good value!

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!?

Ah, that was me! Yep, I'm still loving it too - really fun colours, and a little bit different while still being soooo wearable.

I seem to be getting on better with warmer colours now I'm a bit older I think. I used to always stick to cool ones, but now I'm finding warmer ones more flattering. Not that they help hide the wrinkles appearing, boo

I've not been online in a while, so a few UUs and Ins to report.

UU:
- Boots 48hr sensitive anti-perspirant. WDNBA. Just not very effective. Good riddance.
- Elemis Pro-Collagen Super serum elixir. WNBA. Disappointed with this - used two full size tubes, neither lasted very long, and just weren't great. Left my skin drier and patchy. Shame as I normally get on well with Elemis.
- Soap&Glory Drama Clean micellar cleanser. WDNBA. Smells of cucumber, which I hate. Also wasn't as effective as other micellar waters I've used (Bioderma). And lasted forevvvvvvver! So good value I guess, but I'm so glad to have finally finished it.
- La Theorie des volcans Noir Eternale Mask scrub. WNB. From a beauty box - actually quite nice as far as scrub masks go. Fresh, applies well, I like the colour change when you massage it in, and doesn't feel too harsh. But I prefer chemical/enzyme exfoliators, so just not for me.
- Poundland razor and 3 heads. WNBA. Worth it to try to see if it was a good cheap option, and wasn't awful. But not great either.
- Les Belles de Ricci Liberty Fizz 50ml EDT. WDDDDDDDBA! If I possibly could. Unfortunately discontinued, and has been for a while. Love it though. I had one more in stash (large one) which has now been opened. Once that's gone I'm out
- Schwartzkopf Blond me Keratin restore shampoo. WDNB. Came in a beauty box or something. Sulfate free, and I hated it. My hair just never felt clean, even after several shampoos. And always felt too dry and straw like after. Ended up mixing with the following to make it tolerable...
- Charles Worthington colour enhancer violet shampoo travel size. WMBA. Fine, good for travelling with.
- Guinot longue vie cellulaire face cream (3ml). WNB. Just nothing special (and I have a LOT of face cream).
- Matis Hyaluronic Performance replumping face cream (3ml). WNB. Better than the Guinot one, but again, nothing special - at least not that I could tell from a small sample.
- unknown brand paddle brush. Just broken. Very old and bristles will not stay in place any more, so it's got to go. It lasted for years though, can't complain.

Phew - pleased to have got through all those! Bit more space back, and some I just wanted rid of

And the Ins:
- sure deodorant - to replace the Boots one.
- Gillette venus swirl razor - to replace cheap poundland one
- John Frieda sheer blonde conditioner - bought my mistake as I thought it was shampoo But it was on offer, and I get through a lot of conditioner so it'll get used.
- John Frieda sheer blonde shampoo - the day after, when I realised my mistake Shampoo needed as I didn't have a single drop left, and this range is my HG.
- new Eco tools paddle hair brush - to replace the one I broke.

So all essential ins - I've been good!

There may or may not be a TILI box on the way though, sssshhhhhh ;)
