No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries March 2018
Comments
- 
            UU : No 7 wipes. Have more in stash. Noticed yesterday in Boots that these are now £7.50 a pack! May look for alternative when they are all gone.
 Philosophy Bubbly shower gel this was awful. Smelt and looked like Lucozade. Eugh.
 So Finish 5 by Spring is done.
 I did pretty well with this as I rolled replacement items in. I finished:-
 Benefit Dallas
 Smashbox shadow from the Full Exposure palette
 Laura Geller Balance n Brighten
 L'Occitane Amber & Santal fragrance
 Marc Jacobs mini lipstick in Jetaime
 OPI mini in Time For a Napa
 I gave up on Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Grey Pearl and TA
 I Adam still working on:-
 No 7 powder
 MAC eyeshadow Whenever You Call
 No 7 Sugar Mauve lip lacquer
 NYX concealer
 OPI Let Me Bayou a Drink.
 Anyone up for a Finish 7 by Summer?
 If so, I'll add Lorac Pro eyeshadow in Bare and Tommy Girl fragrance to my list.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!

            My nails and cuticles are responding well to all the TLC, so much so I might use my current £5off voucher to order in another of the No7 Nail & Cuticle Care creams. Although I am keeping them short there is now enough growth to get out the nail polishes again:j Today I will be using Ciate Bonbon, I had fun swatching a few this morning before making my choice:D
 I would like to join in with the Finish 7 by Summer Challenge, for once I have been able to find products which should qualify.
 15ml OPI Nail Envy
 Boots No 7 lipstick ? Rose (label worn)
 30ml Clinique Moisture Surge tinted moisturiser Shade 02
 3.2g Bobbi Brown Bone eyeshadow
 9.4ml Maybelline Lash Sensationa; WP mascara black
 21g Smashbox Halo Mineral Powder Light

            One UU from last night:
 Superdrug Calm Skin Refreshing Facial Spritz 100ml WPNBA. This has a nice scent but the spray nozzle is way too powerful for me to use on my face. I used this on my body to help my body lotion sink in easier.
 Progress seems slow on my PP list items. Most of them are no where near finished 0 0

            My PP List for the month is:
 [STRIKE]Avon Naturals Cinnamon and Cranberry Spritz 100ml[/STRIKE]
 Bioderma Atoderm Huile de Douche 200ml
 First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream 56.7g
 Noreva Sensidiane Micellar Milk Cleanser 500ml
 [STRIKE]Paula's Choice Calm Redness Relief Normal to Dry Skin Moisturiser 60ml [/STRIKE]
 [STRIKE]Superdrug Calm Skin Refreshing Facial Spritz 100ml [/STRIKE]
 Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Toning Shampoo 400ml
 The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% 30ml
 My updated PP list. The Bioderma Shower Oil is lasting forever. I've used it nearly everyday this month and it's only half empty. I hope to finish the Micellar Milk and the FAB cream this month, and the shampoo hopefully0

            My 5 by Spring list
 [STRIKE]Garnier Oil Free BB Cream[/STRIKE]
 [STRIKE]No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing Eyeshadow[/STRIKE]
 Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Birthday Suit - I would just like to hit pan on this.
 [STRIKE]No7 stick concealer[/STRIKE]
 Mac Lipstick
 This is how I ended the challenge. I am calling the stick concealer done as I am using a brush to get the last bits out and have been for ages, as I only use it on blemishes it will still last forever.
 Never managed to hit pan on the cream eyeshadow (I don't think it has pan) and I used a different lipstick.
 I'll do a 7 by Summer, my items will be
 Mac Patisserie Lipstick
 Bourjois CC Cream
 Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow Birthday Suit - try to hit pan
 Nails Inc Top Coat
 Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer
 Body Shop Lip & Cheek Tint
 Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Plum RussianDebt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

            UU and replacement of bottle of Boots nail polish remover. Emma used a quarter of the bottle to soak off acrylic nails.
 Repainted my nails last night and am wearing ESSIE Ladylike. Very similar to OPI Tickle My Francey.
 I did pick up an order from Boots too. Got a bottle of Childs Farm Moisturiser for Emma as her psoriasis is back.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
