No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2017

So, on holiday I did use some things up and I did throw some away but in the main I remember using the products in the hotel the first week (Julian Farrell products - never head of him) so will start with clean slate from hereon re: UUs - 2 since being home:-
1. L'Oreal Excellence hair colour. My hair looked shocking when I got back. Will need to repurchase when my hair needs to be coloured again.
2. Boots No 7 Beautiful Skin wipes. I did actually go to Boots just before we went away to get more of these and ended up spending the £25.00 to get triple points. Bought a Lip Lacquer in Sugared Mauve to qualify.
So my PP list looked like this before my hols:-
Maybelline Colour Tattoo
OPI Nail Envy
Smashbox eyeshadow
No 7 cleansing wipes
Avon Deodorant
Avon Skin So Fresh body lotion
ABC Teatree skinwash
ABC Lavender teatree skin wash
LUSH Dirty shave cream
kind Natured conditioner
I still have the following in rotation - I finished the small bottle of Nail Envy and have a new full sized open now:-
Maybelline Colour Tattoo
Smashbox eyeshadow
LUSH Dirty shave cream
kind Natured conditioner
Will add more to this now. Just realised lunch is almost over. See you later. xxBack 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!

Hi VALM. Sounds like you got some nice things on your hols. I would really like to try Bite Beauty lipsticks, they do some very me colours and they seem to get good reviews too.
Repainted my nails last night with OPI Every Month is Octoberfest. If not this month when? I love this colour, very vampy.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

One UU from last night:
Dentek Silky Whitening Floss Picks 75 count WBA but not right now.
And one TA:
La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser 200ml WNBA. I really wanted to like this product and I did but it was breaking me out a lot. And it was also irritating my skin, which is not good for a cleanser designed for allergy prone skins. I've since switched to using a different cleanser and my skin is feeling so much better.0 -

Thanks, I bought a couple of the Bite Beauty lip crayons last time I was over there. They are lovely.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

OK, have decided what items to add. The top four are carried over:-
Maybelline Colour Tattoo - still seemingly tonnes of product left
Smashbox eyeshadow - am using this until I hit pan and will change to a different eyeshadow
LUSH Dirty shave cream - probably last to the end of the month
kind Natured conditioner - the tube is squishy however I have the conditioner form my hair colour kit to use as well
So, the rest of the list:-
Murad cleanser - this is Emma's but she left it behind
Elemis PCMC tube - now cut open
Elemis PCMC tub which was in use prior to my hols
Elemis Pro Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream
L'Occitane shea hand cream 10ml
Palmers Cocoa Butter hand cream - tube cut open
L'Occitane mini almond shower oil
L'Occitane mini verbena shower gel
L'Occitane mini verbena body lotion
Abercrombie & Fitch Blushed perfume
Paco Rabanne Olympea perfume
Batiste travel sized dry shampoo
I think that's it. Keep panning everyone xxBack 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!

First IN of October:

Olympea by Paco Rabanne. I love this perfume and used the bottle relatively quickly as I bought this when we went to Gran Canaria the year before last. Have mentioned it to Santa.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Boots nail polish remover pads. Bought these as I didn't have my nails done with gel finish prior to holiday. They do the job.
Painted my finger nails with OPI Time for a Napa and toe nails with OPI Infinite Shine Excuse Me Big Sur. I think these two peachy shades are NY favourites from this collection so far.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Hi ladies,
I went to lush and was a little bit naughty. My current shampoo and conditioner have been irritating my scalp so gone back to two old faithfula from there.
In:
American cream conditioner
Soak and float shampoo bar
Wicky magic muscles massage bar
Scrubee
Does anyone know of any good cellulite products? I've got some real issues with it at the moment. My legs look awful.0
