No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2018

UU

Vaseline Advanced Repair Hand Cream 75ml - Really liked this - very softening on my hands without being greasy and sank in fairly quickly. WBA but more hand creams to get through.

I have one unexpected in - Indeed Facial Powdered Exfoliator. This was priced at £5 in Boots so I thought I'd give it a go as I've read reviews about it in the past and in need of a facial scrub at the moment.

I have some uu

YSL Paris EDP 30ml - this has been a favourite for years so I will buy again but not this year for sure.

Avon Fresh Peach Bubble Bath 1L - lovely scent and lots of bubbles, I have several more bubble baths in the stash and after that I intend to make my own bath oil using a bath oil base and a blend of essential oils but I will only do this when everything else is finished.

For the whole of this month I have been using my I Heart Makeup Naked Chocolate palette. It is a complete rip off of the Too Faced chocolate palettes which I wanted but this was way cheaper and I have loved using it this month, it has an excellent mix of warm and cool shades, mattes and shimmers, light and dark and I have had some really lovely eye looks from it.

I have been using a bottle of L'occitane Shea body lotion recently, it is one of their square bottles with a pump, after using less than 1/3 of it it stopped pumping so I had to try and squeeze it out but the plastic is too thick so last night I had to hack it apart using DH's swiss army knife and decant it into a pot. When you pay L'occ prices you shouldn't have to wrestle with the packaging to that extent.

Two UUs today:

REN Oat and Bay Conditioning Shampoo 50ml WPNBA but this was nice to try. I think I'll stick with my normal shampoo but this was nice and it smelt lovely. Didn't really do much for my hair though.

REN Pro-Vitamin Hair Conditioner 50ml WPNBA but like the shampoo it was nice to try. I'll stay with my normal conditioner.

I think I'll have one more UU before the month is out. I haven't made progress on some things on my PP list this month though

I don’t think I will UU anything more this month. Started the month with 143 finished with 130

Oh expletive... I was so looking forward to my lippy to review, and Am@zon have sent a Rimmel nail varnish instead. I think my DD might like it more than me. Or DGD.
Nowt else to report, but A!di have a Beauty Specialbuys week on the horizon. I will be keeping an eye out to see what comes up this time.
I'm hoping for an eye cream.
You have to be superfast to nab the free postage mail order items, but most of it is in stores for a day or so.

Another January UU (no 5):

Living Proof Restore Hair Mask. WNBA. Part of a set, not a fan of the texture or impact on my hair.

Think that will be the last for January, but you never know...

My 5 by Spring list

Garnier Oil Free BB Cream
No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing Eyeshadow
Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Birthday Suit - I would just like to hit pan on this.
No7 stick concealer
Mac Lipstick

My updated PP list. The L'occitane lotion has about 2 more uses so will be done early February and the lip crayon is over half way used so I will finish that next month too.


Nothing finished on my 5 by Spring list yet but the BB cream is very, very light and the No7 eyeshadow is on its last legs as is the concealer.

I don't think I will finish anything else this month, I have uu 13 things and had no ins.

One UU this morning and it's something from my PP list:

Avon Naturals Milk & Honey Shower Gel 200ml WPNBA. It had a nice scent but I don't really like Avon products.

I don't think I'm going to have any more UUs this month
