No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2018

One UU this morning:

La Roche Posay Toleriane Soothing Protective Cream Moisturiser 40ml WNBA. Too much for my skin. Used as a body moisturiser. Glad it's finished

UU

Aroma Greenline Menthol Softening Foot Cream 75ml - Got this foot cream in Malaga - a lovely cream for only 1 Euro. Would definitely stock up if I saw it on sale in Britain as it's such good value. Now onto The Body Shop foot cream sample to use up.

Lush Yuzu and Cocoa Shower Cream 100g - I really liked this - really did smell like cocoa. I have another Lush shower gel which I got as a Christmas gift so going to use that next.

Have a few things spluttering so hope they'll be gone before February starts.

Sample of Bare Minerals Skintology Power Serum. This is gorgeous. Have a Caudalie serum to use and then may purchase full size of this.

Time Bimb Hand to Hand Combat hand cream. This was also used as foot cream on MRMs feet. WBA when I run out of hand cream fully. Have opened Bath and Body Works Sparkling Cider hand cream.

I have a uu

Soap & Glory Heel Genius 50ml - WNBA, DD got this in a gift set and passed it to me. I'm not keen on the scent and it doesn't do anything amazing.

I have a tube of this and not a fan either. Leaves feet feeling cold.

Hi everyone, another exhausting week has gone. Despite having though time and swinging between emotions, I haven't indulged myself with shopping yet.

I have one in but it is a freebie to test. 1 x unbranded Shower Gel.
This will replace the UU'ed shower gel today (Original Source - Lime).

I've also UU'ed 2 samples - Vichy Aqualia Thermal Power Serum. I have the full size of this. Really good when your skin is on the dry side.
Oskia Bedtime Boost Cream - This felt thick on my skin but not greasy at all. I found the scent on the heavier side. It is an expensive cream so not sure if would buy it but it gets reasonably good reviews.

Have a good weekend.

No.7 Stay Perfect Superlight foundation in warm ivory. WDBA- I got colour matched for this in boots with the little machine they scan you with and I have to say its the best foundation and colour match Ive had in years including some high end brands. It looks natural and doesn't settle into fine lines. I just use a sweep of powder to set it and it lasts all day on me. Closest ive gotten to holy grail! I am extremely happy with the price also, its in mid range and even cheaper when on 3 for 2 offer or no.7 vouchers.
Already have another in the stash but will try get through some of my other foundations that are open first.

Not using up as much as I should be apart from the normal day to day stuff. Tried to get myself into a routine again of cleansing but that has failed miserably.

On a good/bad note (whichever way you see it :rotfl:) my mum had the cast taken off her wrist on Thursday and whilst shopping afterwards was going to buy some body lotion but I told her that I had some she could have. Trouble is I then bought some ultimate blends shampoo and conditioner that Mr T was selling off reduced to half price. I didn't go made though as only bought one of each and it will get used up more than the body lotion so sort of a win win situation

VALM, interesting name for a hand cream, sounds like you should be eating it not wearing it :rotfl:

Ha ha. It's another lovely nourishing hand cream.

Ladies, I have finished a lip gloss today : Chanel 166. This was bought for me as a gift. Many years ago I loved Clinique Melon Sky which was discontinued. Then I found a dupe by Smashbox called Expise. When I finished that I managed to get another one from EBay. It was limited edition so could not get it after that. Gave Emma the tube a couple of years ago and asked her to find a dupe for my birthday present and she bought this Chanel one. Whilst the colour is gorgeous the formula is really sticky and a disappointment for the price tag. So the hunt is on for another dupe.
