No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2018

London_baby

UU:

Cindy Crawford Meaningful Beautiful glowing serum sample - WNB Received from a birch box. Had texture of fat and don't think it made a difference to my skin. I will see how my face progresses now that I've run out of serum.

Ins:

2 x Monuskin firming moisturiser - Think I was had by this 'bargain'. I will pack away to use for winter.

One small IN today:

Superdrug Pro Care Whitening Floss Tape 40m

I don't know whether I prefer this more or the Satin Tape I got yesterday.

I love Superdrug Vitamin E Eye Make-Up Remover but my eyes are not that sensitive. Worth a look though.

UUs:

Lancôme - 'Eau Micellaire Douceur' cleansing water - This was a GWP and it is an amazing product but too expensive for me to keep buying.

Clinique Smart SPF 15 Day Cream - Another amazing but pricey product. I WMBA though.

2 more UU:-

Tesco cotton wool pads. I like these bigger ones however I've replaced with ALDI smaller ones.

Mane and Tail shampoo. Replaced already.

I've also cut open the M&T conditioner but there are probably a few uses left.

It seems that QVC are aiding and abetting my No Buy. The Auto Delivery of the Mally TSV I originally ordered in June may not arrive as they are having stock problems. Bit miffed because I wanted to try a couple of products out and use for travelling if they were ok. Oh well.

VALM

[STRIKE]Urban Decay Easy blush from Gwen Stefani palette[/STRIKE]
MAC Brave lipstick
Avon eyeshadow (from Warm Cashmere duo)
Urban Decay Darkhorse eyeshadow from Naked palette
Wet and Wild Contour duo - yellow powder only
Benefit Boing concealer
OPI mini -This is not Whine Country

I am really hopeful that the lipstick will be finished next week as it's getting to the point where I'm nearly level with the plastic at the base of the bullet. I will be calling it done then and not scraping product out.

The Boing concealer is also starting to show pan as the sides of the tub so maybe this will be gone early in September.

The pan is expanding on my Wet and Wild powder. I'm presently using this all over my face on top of a YSL foundation sample that I'm using. My other powders are making this too cakey.

The Avon eyeshadow has a sizeable dip however Darkhorse is still plodding on. I use it daily in my brows if not on my lids. I wonder how many You Tube Beauty Gurus will go out and buy back ups of the palette now it's been discontinued. I wouldn't. The only shadows I really love from it are Toasted, Sidecar, Smog and Half Baked (and I have that again in the Naked 2).

Ath and Body Works Vetiver handwash

[STRIKE]Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen for face[/STRIKE]
Lush Cupcake Mask
[STRIKE] E45 body cream[/STRIKE]
Murad toner

I'm hopeful of cutting the eye cream tube open soon as I have to really squeeze it now to get product out. Same goes for the scrub. I've hit pan in the night cream. The handwash will be the next item to be UU. Everything else being used at a steady pace.

One UU today:

La Roche Posay Toleriane Caring Wash 400ml WBA but not right now. This was nice and decent to use everyday as my morning cleanse, but I didn't enjoy it as my second cleanse on a night. I prefer micellar milks as my second cleanse/morning cleanse, they're a bit gentler on my skin. Replacing this with the Aderma Micellar Milk in my stash.

I might have 1 or 2 more UUs this month but that would be it i think.

INs 2 x Clarins Energy Booster - half price as they are discontinuing and I also had a £5 voucher to use so not bad value. They will last for a while too.
I have listed a few more stuff to sell but it takes ages. I find Reddit a bit confusing to use (the interface is not for me) but might dive into Skincare Exchange.

Thanks, no Superdrug here, but on hols soon and be able to visit 1 or 2:D:D I may try one of their hot cloth cleansers again too, I had a prolonged spell of allergy break outs/eczema, but now been clear for a while and can try some things again:D
