No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2017
Comments
-
One last UU for the month:
Avene Trixera Nutrition Nutri-fluid Lotion 100ml WPNBA. This was nice but I don't think I'll buy it again. Nice and hydrating but light as well0 -
I have a uu
Benefit RSVP Cream Eyeshadow - this is a small pot from a palette but when I checked the g against a full size it isn't much less so I am feeling quite proud to have finished one - it really takes some doing. WMBA as I love the colour but I have a full size plus lots of other cream eyeshadow so won't be for a very, very long time.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Last few UU for the month:
B Pure Micellar Cleansing Wipes. WDBA. HG
L'Oreal Casting Creme Conditioner - I didn't buy, just been sat in the bathroom for ages!
Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle. WMBA.
Merci Handy Love& Hand Cream. WDBA. This was from a beauty box, loved the scent of this.
26 Empties this month, happy with that!0 -
Final UUs for the month:
- John Freida foam hair dye. WNBA - too messy and annoying to apply to roots.
- Benefit Air Patrol (eye primer) mini. WNB - fine, works, goes on well, but just not as good as UD Potion.
- Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair mini. WNB - again, fine, but very expensive, and not quite worth it.
- Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing gel mask. WNB - got it in some beauty box or gift set, would happily use it again, but prefer Enzyme peel.
- Toni&Guy Damage Repair mask. WDBA - HG. I've no hair masks left, so I'll have to buy soon.
And a TA:
- Estee Lauder dissolve the drama makeup remover mini. WDNB - horrible, just turns your makeup oily and smears it over your face, doesn't actually remove much. Ick. Great little bottle though - I'll keep it for eye makeup remover when travelling.
I've done ok in September I think - but October will definitely involve some ins :P
I've also repainted my nails - as had a big tear in one, so needed to repair it, then paint them all. I've gone for Rimmel 60 seconds in Rapid Ruby. Quite a deep browny red, as I've started feeling all autumnal - but goes on very smooth and shiny.0 -

Slowest month, started with 163 ended with 161.0

I think I have a problem.
Every INCH of my house has been kon mari'd and minimalised, and now it's time to face my toiletries!
We have a huge stack of shampoo and conditioner to get through, because the MIL only uses posh stuff so unloaded all the stuff we won't use. The rest is completely my fault...
I have done project 333 with my clothes, and I want to achieve a similar simplicity with my makeup and toiletries. My strategy is to put one of each thing into a basket, so I have my morning 'kit', then as one thing runs out I can go 'shopping' in my reserve stash. I'm going to try and UU small things/half used things first.

Yesterday I noticed 2 bottles of dry shampoo were UU'ed at the same time.
Herbal Essences Dry Shampoo:- Nice but maybe a bit lightweight if you have oily hair. Worked well for my dry hair. WMBA.
Ojon Dry Shampoo: I bought this from Boots clearence shell a while back and I didn't like it. I think it might be discountinued anyway. WNBA.
Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturizer - Light: I liked the cream but the packaging is really not good. I would buy again if it is in a pot.ally.0 -
My scores for the month are:
UUs - 12
INs - 16
OUTs - 0
TAs - 3
I think October is going to be a better month for UUs for me0 -
