No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2017

TA

Dove Derma Spa - Goodness3 Body Oil - 150ml. WNBA. Not a dry oil, didn't moisturise well. Would be good for an Instagram bikini photo as it leaves a golden glow but that's about it! 80% used.
Neutrogena Visibly Clear - Spot Stress Control Foaming Wash - 150ml - OHs reject - I don't have a spot issue but got more after using this probably because I didn't need to use it. 80% used.

One UU this morning:

Lush Christingle 100g WBA. I really like this. I save it for summer as the menthol crystals are perfectly cooling for the clammy summer weather

I was daft and used this in Winter. Brrrr!

Hi everyone, I cannot believe that we are almost at the End of August:(

UU
15ml Clinique Repairwear Uplifting cream 8/82
3ml Bio effect EGF Serum 9/83 Love this but too expensive:(
30ml Clinique DDML 10/84

GA
2 x 35ml Elemis Frangipani Moisture Melt 4&5/12
90ml NIOD Sanskrit Saponins Cleansing Balm 6/13
SBC Propolis Gel 7/14
SBC Collagen Gel 8/15

IN
41g Mitchum AP/Deo Stick 4/42
30 No7 Quick Thinking Wipes 5/43
NIOD
15ml CAIS 6/44
15ml MMHC 7/45
30ml Photography Fliud 8/46
90ml Mastic Must 9/47
Quite a heavy month on the INs, but I have learned that when new or niche brands first come to the market there are offers to be found everywhere, once established the prices go up (e.g. Emma Hardie, Bio-effect, Merumaya) so as the first 3 NIOD products listed are HG's I am trying to buy ahead, but need to be a little careful on the shelf life.

ETA - just checked and they are 6 months opened and 2 years unopened, so no need to worry just yet.

Three INs today:

SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml
SVR Senisifiane AR SPF50+ Creme 50ml
Avene Eau Thermale Water Spray 300ml

First impressions of the Sebiaclear SPF is amazing, it's light, it sinks in quick and no white cast. Going to start using it in the morning and hopefully it won't break me out.

I know that there are a few gals around here who like nail polish and wondered if anyone has tried the above and if so what are your thoughts please? It is rather more of an initial outlay having to buy the base and topcoats as well as colours, if it really does last much longer I feel it may be worth the cost for a couple of favourite colours and mean I do not have to cart all my mani kit with me when we are away in the caravan for 5/6 nights at a time.

I have long fingers and very long nail beds, but often the tips only just reach the end of my fingers so wrapping the tips with any NP I use can be near impossible:(

I've never heard of this so can't help on that. When I go away I just take OPI Nail Envy with me and do the seven day treatment thing because I can't be bothered taking everything with me. I do find the Essie Good To Go Topcoat to be very, very hard wearing, particularly over Essie polish though.

I have a uu

Bee Good Honey & Propolis Cream Cleanser - this was a full size which came in a beauty box I think, nice but nothing special so WNBA.

I have UU'ed Pixi & Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse. I uu'ed balm quicker than the cream actually and both are really good. Especially the balm is very good to take makeup off. I have another one that I will start using.

I keep wondering about this myself. Saw a kit reduced in Sally's but the colour was the blue Breakfast at Tiffanys one which I own and don't like so didn't bother.
