No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Feb. 2018

VALM

Thanks for the new thread And,

I have two items left over from my PP list in Jan which I'll roll over to Feb:-

Botanics eye cream
Jessica Phenomenon Oil mini

The eye cream is in a tube and I'm at the point where I am folding it concertina style to put pressure on the top and squeeze product out so it won't last much longer. I have used half the oil.

So the rest of my list:-

ABC Tea Tree skin wash 1000ml
Batiste Blush - the large can
Happy Days (or whatever it is called now) conditioner (cut open)
A body oil from Haiti
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.
L'Occitane Immortelle oil make up remover
Caudalie Serum
No 7 Beautiful Skin face wipes
Bath & Body Works Pumpkin hand wash

Of those items above I won't need to repurchase these as I have stash:-
ABC Skinwah
Batiste
Conditioner
Body oil
Primer
Serum
Hand wash
Eye cream (sample only and maybe use serum instead - see below).

I have only my L'occitane shampoo in stock but I use this once a week so need one as an alternative.

It may be an expensive month as I want to repurchase the L'Occitane oil make up remover. I really think I need an eye cream as my eyes are looking dry and crepey but not sure if I can get away with applying the Bare Minerals serum there. I won't repurchase the Botanics one as it's clearly not working. I have a sample of BM eye cream to try. My Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser may run out this month as I have about a quarter left of the 400ml bottle.

5 by Spring:-

Benefit Dallas blush - UU

[STRIKE]Eyeshadow from Smashbox Full Exposure palette - S5. [/STRIKE]

Sephora by OPI JUST A Little Dangerous
Laura Geller Balance N Brighten
L'Occitane Amber and Santal fragrance
Laura Mercier Grey Pearl Caviar stick

Rest of the list are still ongoing although I have a drop of the fragrance left and the Balance N Brighten will be finished at the weekend. I have been frustrated by this pot. I was using sellotape to remove hard pan for ages and then when I saw pan I resorted to using scissors to scrape the layer off which resulted in the product getting darker. I have another in my stash but want to use up two other powders first.

Repainted my nails last night and am wearing OPI Sending you Holiday Hugs.

Last UU for the month,

Two more from my PP-
Elemis skin bliss capsules x 14 WMBA- these were nice to use especially the pink ones as they smelt of turkish delight! Perfect dosage size and ideal for travel. Have another pack of 14 in the stash.

These are on my list for when I'm on my last bottle of Lancome Genefique serum, I love the capsules but one is never enough for me, I use two each night and morning, guess I've got a big face! :rotfl:

I will post my stash list later, which includes all the new stuff I purchased in the sales, so the total count has gone up significantly!

I did purchase some necessary INs today that came with a free gift, I'll declare those when they arrive.

GA - Garnier Ultimate Blends Papaya Split Ends Conditioner. This is one of the 6 I got sent, five have now left home. I can't remember if I posted my opinion on this or not, but I wasn't that impressed. If I still had split ends, I don't think it would have worked that well. Those split-end days are long past. I treat my hair far more carefully now.
No female visitors to my house were allowed to leave without taking home a bottle of this. I can be incredibly persuasive.
I suppose it's a change from biscuits or a pot of jam...

Thanks kadison

I wanted to treat myself and I don't feel guilty as it's my belated Christmas and Birthday present. I could have spent a lot more in The Body Shop though. They had a lot of Christmas stuff left. I talked myself out of getting a gift set which had 5 mini body butters in it

Two UUs tonight:

Avon Chocolate & Orange Bubble Bath 500ml WPNBA. This was nice but I won't buy it. I received it as a Christmas present. It got a bit sickly sweet towards the end.

Avon Foot Works Red Currant Exfoliating Scrub 75ml WPNBA. It was nice but I don't really go for foot scrubs. I didn't know how much of this was left until it finished when I was using it. It felt like it went on forever.

That's two items off my PP list

VALM - I'm almost finished with a tube of Botanics Eye Cream, not sure if it's the same as yours, I find it basic but OK. I only use it at night and in the morning when I apply my normal moisturiser after rubbing it in I just take my fingers across my eye area with what is left on them, so I don't actually apply moisturiser there but they get a tiny bit. Going forward I am going to just try doing that rather than buying another eye cream.

redglitters/Kadison - I've used quite a few pots of the Elemis Skin Bliss capsules in the past and have noticed no benefits from them whatsoever, I agree they smell nice but for me that was it and I expect more for the :eek: price. I like MOA Aphrodite Oil as a face oil, cheaper, very pleasant to use and no gimmicks.

And - I don't think the Ulitmate Blends shampoos are much to write home about from what I can gather from people on here and other reviews.

I have my first uu

Philosophy Pure Grace Shower Gel 500ml - used the last bit as bubble bath last night, I love Philosophy shower gel in general but especially the Grace scents but they aren't cruelty free I don't think so WNBA unless that changes, however I do have more stashed.

L'occitane Ultra Rich Shea Body Lotion 250ml - I bought this as a cheaper alternative to the cream they do which is insanely priced, this smells gorgeous, goes on beautifully and leaves skin soft but as I mentioned last month the packaging is ridiculous so WNBA.
