UU number four for February:
Living Proof Prime. WBA but have another in the stash.Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -
Hello everyone,
I've managed quite a few UU (for me anyway) in February but never managed to sit at the computer to write them down!
5. OPI Avojuice lotion in Cucumber and Melon - WNB I got a gift of 6 of these mini bottles and I only have 1 left, hurray! I've been using them to shave my legs as they're too runny and light for a handcream for me
6. Clinique Superbalanced makeup sachet, it was actually a good foundation and a good colour match for a freebie sample but I WNBA because I want to go cruelty free and more natural with my future purchases.
7. Max Factor pressed powder - it was fine, a compact lasts me ages and ages so the half used one I have left should see me through most of the rest of the year :rotfl:
I'm sure there was more, I'm just off into the shower and I'm pretty sure my conditioner is finished, I put some water in the bottle last time to rinse out the dregs!No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins0 -
Arg I posted on the January thread by mistake. Too lazy to move it0

[STRIKE]Botanics eye cream
Jessica Phenomenon Oil mini
ABC Tea Tree skin wash 1000ml
[/STRIKE][STRIKE]Batiste Blush - the large can[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Happy Days (or whatever it is called now) conditioner (cut open)[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]A body oil from Haiti[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Aussie Shampoo - decanted into pump bottle
Laura Geller Spackle - may need to cut this open soon as there is a lot of air in there and it's difficult to squeeze.
[/STRIKE][STRIKE]L'Occitane Immortelle oil make up remover[/STRIKE]
Caudalie Serum
No 7 Beautiful Skin face wipes
[STRIKE]Bath & Body Works Pumpkin hand wash[/STRIKE]
So the Batiste and Spackle are gone. Only have the face wipes and serum left. Should think they will last a week or so each.
The only primer I have to replace the Spackle is a First Aid Beauty sample I got from Sephora when I was in the US. Have used it today and whilst it felt lovely on application my make up looks more matte than usual.Back 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!

I repaint pedi my nails yesterday using a new OPI colour called And The Raven Cried Give Me Moor but I don't like it so have repainted today using Don't Pretzel My Buttons. The Raven colour is purple and I don't like purple coloured lacquer. I've put it for sale on QVSELL.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I have a uu
Benefit They're Real Mascara - this was a GWP size, I do like this but WNB as they are not cruelty free.
and a TA
Clinique Black Honey Eyeliner - this came in a set when I ordered the Black Honey lipstick, I tried it yesterday and it migrated under my eyes by the end of the day making a dark shadow effect. Also the pencil had broken in the tube and wouldn't retract.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Another UU : E45 body lotion. I now have only lotions that match other shower gels in my collection. Other than that I have the S&G Whipped Cream shower butter and a gradual tan lotion. I nearly bought a tub of Righteous butter at weekend but couldn't believe that it now costs a tenner!Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

A few cheeky INs from my cinema & shopping trip0 -
I scraped the last of my main Marc Jacobs lipstick into a pot (which I bought from Superdrug yesterday for this purpose). Not sure if it was worth the effort because I hate using a brush to apply and there's very little product there. Will use this exclusively until it's gone.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
