No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2017

fixx

I've been a bit busy recently - a few outs, but quite a few Ins too, oops :cool:

Ins:
- Clinique Even Better Glow foundation 10 day sample
- 2 x MAC mineralize foundation 10 day samples (2 different shades - MA artist was great, she recommended one shade, but I thought it might be a little too light, so she gave me a slightly darker one too to compare over a few days)
- Benefit boing airbrush concealer sample (swap offer from benefit - new sample for any old concealer)
- Makeup Revolution Soph-x palette (loooooove this!)
- Makeup Revolution brush cleanser
- Lacura serum (I'm almost out of face serums, thought I'd give this cheapie one a try)
And I also gave in and ordered the "Breast Cancer Awareness Beauty Box" from the Estee Lauder brands. I'll not keep all the contents though - will sell the eye cream, and give some of the others to friends.
- Clinique All About Eyes™ 15ml
- Clinique Chubby Stick™ Moisturizing Lip Color Balm, Super Strawberry 3g
- Est!e Lauder Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask 30ml
- Origins Original Skin™ Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay 15ml
- Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base, 7ml
- Bumble and bumble prêt-à-powder 14g
- Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara 7ml
- GLAMGLOW SUPERMUD® Clearing Treatment 15g

Outs:
- Utan & tone nourishing night creme. WNB - prefer using a normal night cream, and a tanning mask when I want to.
- Clinique concealer. WMBA - really very good, great finish and coverage, just very old now, swapped for the new benefit one.
- Smashbox primer (mini). WNB - fine, but prefer others.
- UD All night foundation sample. WNB - too heavy for me, was hard to apply and look natural, got cakey on any dry skin. Great shade match though, and did sometimes look amazing when I had a perfect base.
- Rituals tai chi foaming shower gel. WMB - love these, and they last ages, but very expensive. Have always got them as gifts or in boxes. Have one more in the stash.
- L'Occitane supple skin oil mini. WMB - really nice, might buy at right price.
- Caudalie vinoperfect serum 10ml. WNB - got it in the Tilli box. Nice, but I've used better.

TA:
- Redken diamond oil hair serum. WNB - Was a present, but did nothing for my hair. Gave it a good go, got half way through, but hair was feeling pretty dry. Swapped to my HG briefly, and hair instantly felt better.

And some kind of outs - I had a couple of mini lipsticks I didn't like, so had a go at melting them down and combining them. It worked out ok - the new colour suits me much better.
- Tarte mini lipstick - too brown
- Benefit They're Real Double The Lip mini, revved up red - too orange/bright
- end of a Carrefour lip balm
And then an in - new pot of lipstick/balm

I have a few INs from today:

Avene Antirougeurs Clean Cleanser 200ml
Colgate Total Pro Gum Health Interdental Floss
Dentibrush sample
Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Picks 60 count

The cleanser was a treat and the sample was an unexpected add on, and the floss is a necessary purchase.

houseplant - personally I don't think cellulite products can possibly work, diet and exercise and lots of water are better options plus my HG dry skin brushing.

VALM - I can't bear to think about February at the moment so I won't join you on this challenge, I would prefer a 5 by Christmas or something.

I have a uu

Beautannia Brighton Body Lotion 100ml - lovely stuff, more in the stash but I am rationing them as I can't buy any more.

I'll happily do 5 by Christmas. Here's my list :-

No 7 liquid highlighter
Pearly eyeshadow from Pop eyeshadow trio used as highlighter in conjunction with above
NARS Fig lipgloss
OPI Spare Me. A French Qyarter mini
Tiger Balm

The No 7 highlighter is a sample tube and isn't enough highlight on its own. The eyeshadow is too shimmery for my hooded lids. The lipgloss is old and the only one remaining from the kit it came in. Need to move out more OPI mini lacquers and am planning to use the Tiger Balm on my hands and feet at night otherwise it won't get used.

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 xx

2 UUs from above list:-

Abercrombie and Fitch Blushed perfume. Love this. Bought another in the US but will keep sealed until next Summer.

Mini L'Occitane Almond shower oil. Seem to always have some of this in stash.

I have some uu

Korres Cedar Shower Gel 250ml - I think this is aimed at men but I still liked it anyway, DS and DH used it too. Too many shower gels in the stash to even contemplate buying again but I do prefer girly scents and wouldn't pay Korres prices for the men in the house.

Avon Mattifying Mineral Face Cream SPF - I can't remember what SPF this has but it is a high one so I use it for cycling only as it is very white and not at all mattifying. Have replaced it with another the same.

My 5 by Christmas list

Garnier Oil Free BB Cream
Bobbi Brown Pale Pink Blush - surely this time I can finish it :eek:
Bare Minerals Brightening Primer
No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing Eyeshadow
Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Birthday Suit - I would just like to hit pan on this.

Two UUs from last night:

Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads Travel Size WNBA. It didn't really have any effect, and these sort of irritated my skin.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream 15ml WNBA. It was moisturising but I got sick of testing this towards the end.

And one TA:

Bioderma Crealine Yeux 15ml Irritated my eyes and no one else in the house wants it.

My updated PP list

UUs so far this month:
Mac Fabulous DNA eyeshadow from Dusky Rose x9 palette - finally completely finished! WBA if they ever had it as a single shadow. Think this is the only eyeshadow I've ever finished up!

Zara gardenia 30ml EDP - nice enough but WNBA
Clinique Skinny stick eyeliner mini - WBA, this is lovely and have another mini in the stash to UU first
Stila Smudge sticks in Oscar Fish and Tetra - WNBA, these were lovely but they only lasted two uses each! not impressed considering they were meant to be full sized. Have a few more left from a set to UU but not impressed.

Mac Eyebrow Pencil in Brunette - WNBA, I liked the texture of this but felt the colour was a little too dark. trying to use up the rest in the stash before buying a trusty UD brow beater in neutral brown.

Elemis PCMC - WBA, have lots more in the stash.
Chanel Gabrielle sample spray - probably WNBA but nice enough and I still have a few more samples to use.

INs
Unfortunately I caved when there was the £15 off £60 offer at space NK and the ambient lighting palette 3 is now here.
Got caught in the hype of the Glossier UK launch so a Milky Jelly Cleanser and a Coconut Balm Dot Com will be here shortly too.


Keen to join in on the 5 by christmas idea. Mine are:

Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation
Mac Mineralise Skin Finish Natural
YSL Babydoll Mascara
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Intime
Redken Extreme Anti Snap Cream
