No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2017

ChicaBonita

Couple of ta's and one in:
TA - collection eyebrow powder - this was my HG for a while, it's a powder with a wand, I actually still like this but I'm trying out a brow palette by HD brows now. This is cheap at £4.99 but I was having to buy one a month as the wand went wonky very quick and the powder didn't come out as well, so my logic was to buy something a bit more expensive that lasts a hell of a lot longer! May go back to this, see how it goes.
Also TA dove summer glow tanning moisturiser - these are fine, but they always go streaky (and orange) on me and although I live in Essex I don't want that look! This is old now anyway so rather than risk dodgy-looking legs for a week I've just tossed it.

IN - I caved and bought the CC cream from bourjois using B00ts points. Haven't used it yet but excited to try it again

Hi everyone.

I went completely MIA. I've been going through a difficult time due to a relationship ending and having to move then move again. I'm doing ok now and I want to try to keep track of my UUs and INs again.

I had the odd in, mostly feeling down purchases. However I also did some decluttering and ditched quite a few things, I'd guess around 20.

Sorry to hear that and hope you will be better and very soon.

UU

Yves Rocher Apricot Scrub. Nice, would buy again but have three scrubs in the stash and I'm trying really hard to be good.

One UU this morning:

Paula’s Choice Calm Repairing Serum sample WMBA. I'm still undecided on this. The other day when I used it, it left my face tight. That could of been because of the serum or because I accidentally over-dried my face. Today, it's left my skin soothed, and not tight. Hm..

Hi All,

Couple of UU and GA and IN to report
UU 7: sample wella colour shampoo: WMBA was nice enough but prefer my usual
UU 8: sample Wella colour conditioner - WMBA as above
UU 9: Hask argan oil leave in spray - WMBA really helped detangle my hair and left it with a nice shine
UU 10: Dove deo: WBA HG

GA: Hask dry shampoo: I wasn't impressed so have given it to a friend

IN 2: BM foundation: HG replacing one that is very nearly finished
IN 3: BM mineral veil: as above.

July so far UU 10, IN 3 GA 1

It's been a slow month so far for UU. On the positive side, I've been really good at not impulse buying. There were only a few purchases last month - two body sprays.

Still have to sort out the July PP list. Doing a house clear out and emptying multiple handbags so I might find a few extras to add to the PP list and some things to give away to friends and family.

IN - Nivea Soft Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream 200ml - My mum was clearing out and found this to give to me. I love this cream so I'll certainly get some use out of it.

UU
Baylis & Harding Beauticology Chocolate Shower Creme 50ml - I don't really like B+H products so I used this up as a hand wash. Have replaced with another B+H Beauticology Shower Creme to use as a hand wash. WNB but I got this as a gift so I wanted to use it rather than give it away.

If the clear out today goes well, will come back here later with an updated PP list and a feeling of calm.

Realised I posted these on wrong thread! Doh !

UU: Superdrug Cotton Wool roll - Bought in error. Complete waste of money as it is so messy to use.

Have hit pan this morning on my Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lo-Fi blush (using as bronzer)

Hopefully these items will be UU this week:-

Sanex deodorant - feels very light and is not applying as wetly as before.

L'Occitane 10ml shea hand cream

Boots No 7 face wipes - about three left

M&S 75ml lavender shower gel. Tube feels light

Australian body care tea tree body lotion - not pumping anymore. Have turned bottle upside down.

L'Occitane shampoo.

I rotate my perfumes and this week have pulled out my bottle of Paco Rabanne Olympea which does not have much left in it. I'll be sad to use it up and will definitely purchase a bottle from duty free when I go away to US.

Repainted my nails at weekend and am wearing Nails INc Piccadilly Circus. I think this was the first Nails Inc lacquer that I acquired (probably a magazine freebie). It's a lovely colour. Will keep it.

VALM

7 Boots No 7 face wipes HG Enough said.

Repainted my nails last night and am wearing OPI Press * for Silver. May keep this to paint toes with in future. Not a fan of it on my finger nails.

Few INs from eb@y:
2 x lancome bi-facil 125ml (HG eye makeup remover, mine is almost done)
2 x lancome hypnose masacara samples in black (never tried this before but it was cheaper for me to get this bundle than buy 2 separate makeup removers. Also helps that my mascara is almost out as well)

One TA:
Rimmel eyeliner pencil in jungle green - pretty sure I've had this since college. It's had some use over the years, but I tried to use it again yesterday as a bit of colour under my eyes with my normal eye look, and I just ended up like a panda after 2 hours. So giving up with it.

One UU:
Sample of urban decay primer potion in Eden - actually ended up really liking this. It comes out very white but as it settles on the eyelid it just acts as a brightener that really helps the eyeshadows you put over it "pop". The sample lasted me about a month as well. Considering purchasing this, probably not soon though as I have some more samples left. You do have to use a brush to buff this into the eyelids though, gets a bit messy otherwise!

One UU this morning:

Paula’s Choice Calm Repairing Serum sample Still undecided on this. Hmm... I've got one sample of it left to try and I'll probably just save my money and not buy it.
