No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2018

VALM

3 UUs :-


L'Occitane Almond shower oil. I threw the rest of this into my bath yesterday. Felt lovely. Remembered to use the pumice too - get me!!


No 7 Cuticle cream. Finished on MrM's feet. Have spare that I kept at work and didn't use so will take home.


L'Oreal face mask. This was Emma's. Have a new LUSH one to start next.


Have decided to "declutter" the Urban Decay Cheeky blush from the Gwen Stefani palette as it doesn't suit me at the mo with a tan. I have a back up palette in any case so will see if it suits me better in the winter. There was only this blush left in my original palette.



Have tried yesterday and today to get hold of the Lacura dupe of C&P but both ALDI stores I visited didn't have it. Fake news, maybe? Picked up a copy of Marie Clare with the free Murad cleanser on as Emma is travelling to Ireland tomorrow so can take the mini cleanser and mag with her though I want the discount code from inside as I'll need to order more Toner soon.

3 UUs:
Simple facial cleansing oil. WBA, big fan of cleansing oils, although prefer the pump packaging of the L'oreal cleansing oil.
Mac Studio Fix foundation in NW13. Lovely foundation but slightly too dark for me - can just about get away with it in the summer. Will wait until I'm pale again and go to be re-matched.
La Roche Posay cicaplast balme sample.

And I broke my No Buy July although on necessary-ish grounds:
In - Aveeno moisturising lotion. Got a super itchy rash and hoping this will help.

Tolteca87 if there had been a MAC close enough to me I would definitely have succumbed!

There was a nice range of colours on offer too:)

Hi all. I was away on holidays and just came back yesterday. I've UU a fair amount of samples and travel sizes but I didn't keep track of each. I do have a big stash of samples and minis and I'm trying to go through them, so that's good news.
I have sold TBS Silky Cleansing Oil on Depop - this is amazing if you have dry skin but didn't work well for me. Whenever I used it, following day my make-up didn't stay put.
I've TA Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara - I'm back to lash extensions and don't use any mascara anymore. This one has been open for a while too. Never really liked it. Good for length but didn't give the volume I preferred. WNBA.

Also this morning, I UU a bottle of shower gel (Bubble T) and shampoo (Elvive Extraordinary Oil). I have replaced the shower gel with a foaming wash. I think I have another Elvive in my stash. Both are nice enough. I still haven't found my holy grail shampoo.

INs
I bought Origins Essence Lotion and Renewal Serum with Willowherb. They were on the clearance shelf and for half the price what they would normally cost. I didn't need them to be fair but I love Origins and they were half-price

If the Aveeno doesn't help, try the Child's Farm baby moisturiser. Did wonders for my prickly heat and dry patches afterwards.

Probably the last UU of the month: Nivea Pure roll on deodorant. HG and replacement ready.

One UU this morning:

Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner sample WDBA. I already have a full size of this and I love it, so I thought I'd use the sample sachet up first

Im in a Boots online focus group for Max Factor this week and with all the focus on it I caved and bought:

Max Factor Lipfinity 120 - I finished my only red long wear lipstick when I started this challenge and its an essential really
Max Factor Miracle Prep Lip Scrub - useful when long wearing lip sticks dries the lips and in prep for winter - this doubles as a balm too! Scored this at reduced price because they put the wrong price on the shelf :-p
Max Factor Lasting Perforance Setting Spray - I have an oily tzone and Benefit poreprofesional does nothing, this was free when you spent £12.

UU
Pantene volume conditioner
Aveeno moisturiser sample

I think thats it for July. I started with 132 down to 127. Ive got a few toiletries on their last legs so hopefully Ill have a good start to July..
