No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2017

I have been looking at LF one but as i can't sneak peek, I wasn't sure about buying. Reviews are good though! Could you give me some spoiler

I do like the hotel chocolat idea too :P

Hello again ladies!

Yet another UU: Schwarkopf got2b 2sexy hair mousse. WIBA? Nothing special. Not sure where I got it from TBH. Wouldn't go out of my way to get another one...

...I have another random mousse to use up now. Where do I get them from?!

- Elemis frangipani monoi body oil, small size. WDBA - loooooove this, my HG body oil, though I only get on offer (or as pressies) as it's so expensive.

:

I smelt a frangipani flower in Jamaica and was so impressed that this oil resembled it strongly.

By the way, is anyone buying any beauty advent calendar this year?

Not sure. I really wanted the Tili one but not sure if this is just because it sold out quickly thus making it desirable?

I feel this way about them too. I usually don't like No7 stuff for instance but witnessing the anticipation around the beauty calendar, I always feel that I "should" get one.

I have UU'ed 1 x Starskin Eye Catcher eye Mask. This was from LF box in summer. Firstly, this felt messy to apply. It also made my eyes teary after 10 minutes :eek: I don't usually enjoy sheet masks in any form so WNBA. Worth noting though, this gets good reviews.

I tried to tidy my toiletry cupboard and the situation is hopeless :rotfl:

Finally another item off my PP list is finished:

Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm 4g WNBA. This was not good at all. It didn't hydrate my lips or moisturise them at all. I'm so glad it's finished. I'll stick to my HG lip balm from now on, the Superdrug Little Moisturising Blue Stick

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Pro Recovery 40ml

My updated PP list. The Cicaplast won't be finished this month so I'll put it on next month's PP list.

I bought the Look Fantastic one and the contents were brilliant! :money:

I keep lusting after the Lookfantastic one, but can't justify that price at the moment

I'm definitely getting the M&S one though - can't wait. I was tempted by the Tili one, but not gutted to have missed it. It seems there were a lot of complaints over how the sale was handled, and how quickly they all went?!

Really? That's so good to know! And I'm very jealous you've been to Jamaica - wow :cool: That's on my list for a trip someday.

Uus:

Aqueous Cream
Vasanti Bright skin exfoliator- WMB - Right amount of grains and cleans skin without making it too dry. The full size botte is 32 pounds which is a bit out of my budget.
Ciate bright orange nail polish - WBA - Good wear and minimal chipping
John Frieda Chocolate brown mousse dye - First time dying hair. Instructions and use was simple enough. WMBA - Didn't completely cover all my greys. I think if you have thick, coarse hair you need to buy two packs to produce the same amount of foam as shown in the instructions.

Perfumes opened:

Rihanna Rogue - WBA - One of the better celebrity perfumes.
M&S True Red - Copy of Diesel Red. Good sillage for an EDt. WBA but I don't think it is sold anymore.

A few more UUs - probably my last of the month:

- Elemis Peptide4 Night Recovery Cream-Oil. WNBA - didn't find it moisturising enough. My skin woke up quite dry every time I used it. I was surprised, I'm generally a fan of Elemis, and oils work really well on my skin.
- Rituals Ritual of Sakura magic touch body cream, 70ml. WMB - really lovely, sunk in soooo well, and smells divine. Not cheap though. Why are all my favourite body creams and oils so expensive?! :rotfl:
- Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum 10ml. WNB - 2nd one from a Tili box/QVSell group. Ok, nice to have tried, just nothing special.
- Glamglow Supermud clearing treatment mask mini. WMB - glad to have finally tried this. Very tingly, left skin feeling good after, but not convinced it's worth the price. I've the Aldi version in the stash to try, which will be an interesting comparison.
- Estee Lauder 'beam team' sachets. WDNB - did nothing, just made me look greasy. Weird.
