No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2018

fixx

Bit late re-joining this month, but I am in. I had one carry over from October - the Benebalm still isn't finished! It's never-ending, though I can only get it out with a brush. Hopefully a few more days and it'll be done...

A few UUs:
- What's in it for me shower scrub (50ml) . WNB - fine, just nothing special. I prefer a scrubby mitt with shower gel.
- amika soulfood nourishing mask for hair (20ml sample). WNB - nice, but not as good as my HG, Elasticizer.
- skinsense hydranet insense concentrate (25m sample). WMB - really liked this, sank in really well, no irritation. But not quite HG.
- Elizabeth Arden white team hand cream (30ml). WNB - very nice actually - rich, soothing, sinks in well. I just wouldn't pay that much for a handcream.
- Elemis frangipani monoi moisture melt (full size). WDBA - HG, but it's pricy, so I wait for offers. I've got another 2 in the stash at the moment :A
- M&S Formula Ultimate sleep cream (15ml). WDBA - I do really love this, and have just started another mini. Will def buy once I've UU all my other night creams.
- Clinique smart custom serum (10ml vial). WDBA - really really like this. It just works - sinks in well, and my skin is great. I've got 5 more of this size saved from a previous glitch (I knew at the time I loved it)
- Lancome Genefique concentrate (7ml). WNBA - I do like this, but prefer the clinique serum above.
- MURAD eye lift firming treatment (5ml sample). WMB - I was reallyimpressed by this. I'm normally unhappy with the fine lines around my eyes, but I'm much less bothered at the moment. I can't pin it down to this or my new eye cream though, but I do think this really helped. I'll keep an eye out for offers...
- Clinique fresh pressed Vit C cleaser sample. WNB - just ok, and a bit fussy to use.
- Clinique fresh pressed daily booster with Vit C sample. WMB - this did really perk up my skin!
- Olia hair dye. WDBA - HG.

One GA:
- The Ordinary AHA 30 + BHA 2 Peeling Solution - gave to a friend who loves it. I did use it quite a bit, and it's fine. I just prefer Elemis enzyme peel personally.

And some Ins:
- Clinique Pep Start Hydroblur Perfecting Cream 50 ml. Bought with the Boots £10 off offer. My new HG, having used a few samples. I looooove this.
- Holland & Barrett clean beauty advent calendar I couldn't resist it at half price! I'll use everything in it, and the box. Yeah, this one was naughty though.

1 UU today:

Barry M Berry Good Lip Oil - WDBA, very good consistency and works wonders.

Stash total is 138

Threw away a nail colour yesterday: Liz Earle Ebb Tide. Was not sure I liked the colour anymore and then it started to shrink away from the nail edges later in the day. I think my greige days are over.


This week I will be wearing:-


Essie Angora Cardi (wearing this today), Essie Designated DJ and OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons.

One UU today:

SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml WDBA and have. I really like this. Not irritating and it sinks in quickly.

I really like Angora Cardi and Ebb Tide. I've found the Liz Earle colours really hard wearing so I hope my don't start shrinking.


I repainted my nails last night with Essie Haute in my Hot Tub.

UU - Elemis samples of night cream and day cream - from the vegan range they do, was excited to try these but the scent is not my cup of tea which is a shame!
UU - Lush Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar - really enjoyed this WBA
UU - Lush Rehab shampoo - technically WBA but I think it really strips out colour from your hair so maybe I wouldn't

UUs:

Mum soft pink roll-on - WNBA, too gentle for a sweaty betty like me and packaging is a heavy glass bottle.

Organic Root Stimulator Carrot creme oil - HG, none in stash so will need to replace before my next hair wash day.

I have INs. I succumbed to making an Avon order because I wanted an eye cream so have the Anew one to try. Did apply it last night for the first time so watch this space. I also ordered a lipgloss because I thought it would be a good dupe for the Chanel one I had but it's a dupe of a Laura Geller one I own!



Have decided I am going on a strict no buy next year, only purchasing items that I run out of and trying to pan as much makeup as I can. I do intend to joint Beauty Pie at lunch time today. Anyone else considered this? I'm going to try their enzyme peel mask, moisturiser and starter kit of cleanser etc. The only HG products that I won't try from anywhere else are my Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser, Hourglass Dim Light powder and Kat von D Tattoo liner.



I did take stock of my stash at weekend and am pleased to report that I now only have one drawer that contains hand washes and hand cream. I also have a box with various travel sized body lotions that I intend to use up as I won't be travelling abroad for the foreseeable future. Am pretty pleased with this.



I've also decided to do a full pan that palette next year using my Smashbox Full Exposure palette and my NARS Killing Me Softly face palette.

have UUd a few bits and made a cheeky Elemis order today

UU
Clarins eye make up remover 10ml sample - this was ok and would definitely keep if in a GWP, think I have a few other sizes of this in the stash, but I would not buy as I prefer the Elemis or Clinique ones.

& Other Stories topanga waves body scrub - WNBA this was so soapy and quite unpleasant to use so pleased it is gone!

Clinique moisture surge 15ml - WDBA love this range and still have some to use in the stash

Elemis Order ins

Will have to unsubscribe from their emails as it is just too tempting sometimes! I bought the Ginseng toner which I love and got the following free: 50ml biotech cleanser, full size hand cream and full size hand wash. Also 10% cash back and £2.50 bonus so feel I can justify it

I saw the beauty pie advert on fb but didn't look any further at it. What exactly is the deal?
