No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2017
Options
Comments
-
Had a trip into Manchester on my own yesterday. The intention was to get an eco refill of L'Occitane shampoo however apparently there was an offer last week and this is sold out everywhere. Will try to just use my Kind Natured one for now.
The other intention was to look for a new foundation specifically to try the Bobbi Brown sticks. Wandered into Debenhams and saw the Kat Von D stand. Tried the Lock it Foundation and bought a bottle. Very impressed by the tiniest amount needed for each application.
Also was looking for the OPI California Dreaming collection again. Still couldn't find them. Decided I needed a new colour. Saw ESSIE on offer in Superdrug and picked up Ladylike and Eclair my Love.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

This will probably be my final update of the month. I can't believe it's almost August :shocked:
UU:
- Benefit They're real tinted eyelash primer. WBA - really liked this. Even the small tube lasted ages - most of the writing wore off first
- Josh Wood Radiant shine hair treatment oil. WNB - it's actually really nice, lovely smell, left my hair looking and feeling great. But it's not a HG. Came in the M&S advent calendar I think, and I'd happily use it again.
TAs:
- Too Faced shadow insurance eye shadow primer. WNBA - was really old and had separated. But also just not as nice as the urban decay primer. Worked ok, I just prefer UD.
- L'Oreal Telescopic extra black mascara. WDNBA - horrible to apply, leaves lashes really clumpy, and rapidly flakes once it dries! Awful stuff. Tried several times in case I was just applying wrong, and looked at youtube vidoes from people who really liked it - which also showed horrible clumpy lashes! Don't understand why some people like that.
- trilogy rosehip oil antioxidant+ (2.5ml sample). WDNB - the smell is foul, I can't put this anywhere near me again. Uughhhh.
And a few INs, from a Tili boxI'm only listing the bits I'm keeping for me - there are a few other bits destined as gifts or to sell on.
- Julien Farel Vitamin shampoo and conditioner. Good travel sizes.
- AlphaH Liquid Gold Rose. Love this - well the original at least, and I'm on my last bottle of that.
- Vita Liberata 10 minute tan
- it cosmetics cc+ cream. Have been wanting to try this for ages, to see if it's as good as the erborian one, as this is a little cheaper.0 -
The Body Shop Frosted Cranberry Shower Gel 250ml - The took me a few months to use up. It was the last of a gift set so glad to have finally used it up. WDBA but have several (!) other bottles of TBS shower gel in the stash.
