No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2018

One UU this morning:

Noreva Sensidiane Micellar Milk 100ml WBA but not right. I've got another one to use in my stash, so I'm going to replace it with that one.

VALM

OK, as the title suggests there are things to report:-

INS: 2 x Bath & Body Works hand creams. I also got 2 x candles. Think I need to find a wax anonymous forum as this stash is growing rather than decreasing!

UU: Bath & Body Works Magic in the Air body lotion. Still have some of the shower gel left but am going to pull out some travel sized lotion in the hope that this will last until the shower gel has gone.

PAN: Have finally hit pan on the Urban Decay Easy Blush. Yay. Have been using it consistently since New Year.

CALAMITIES/TA: The top came off my Laura Mercier Caviar Stick this morning whilst it was in my make up bag and what was left of the product fell out. So TA. WNBA. Wanted the Mally TSV to try her version of this but alas.

The end broke off my Benefit Goofproof eyebrow pencil and there is no product left so UU/TA? Annoying, again there was a replacement in the Mally kit which didn't arrive. I really don't want to shell out for new stuff now after having a hefty weekend in Newcastle so at weekend I'll have a dabble at applying eyeshadow to my brows.

As mentioned in previous post, have hit pan in blush. Would be nice to finish by the end of the project now. Been making a big effort to wear the NARS crayon daily.

One OUT today:

The Ordinary Buffet 30ml

I sold this on Reddit to someone and I've just posted it today. Someone else might use it more than I will.

And one IN today:

Superdrug Little Moisturising Blue Stick Lip Balm 4.8g

A back up ready to go.

Ok this is the thread for me...

Currently, I'm heading towards the end of my Nyx buttergloss and I'm putting my foot down about buying more!

I've picked up a super-cheap lip brush to extend the life of some of my lip-sticks (so I can get the very last bits out) and was looking at something like the every drop spatula on amazon -
Except it's six quid and the reviews are not great.

I'm going to be looking back through the previous threads for ideas but a quick search hasn't led me to what I'm looking for.... Is there a cheaper alternative for getting the last bits out of lip product/concealer tubes? My plan is to use as much as I can (already know about pulling out the stopper! ) and then depot the last dregs into little pots (acquired for free, and if I can prove they're saving me money then it's not "hoarding rubbish"!)

So far I've looked into using cotton buds (and risk soaking up product into the cotton? too risky!) paint/lip brushes (may be difficult and slow transferring into a jar) toothpick/skewer (again, might only get out a few drops at a time?) and using hot water (risk of ending up with a soggy mess and no more product!).

It's entirely possible I've gone weird and obsessive over how to get the very most out of my makeup, but have serious savings goals and not risking losing out on lippy while I do it!

I can’t add anymore tips but would advise against removing stopper as the gloss then leaks everywhere. Admire your commitment though.

One UU today:

Nivea Pearl & Beauty Deodorant 50ml WBA but I prefer the Stress Protect from the same range. Will be replacing it with the Stress Protect deodorant.
