No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2018

i recieved the laura geller set from qvc and was pleasantly surprised. I put it on haphazardly even with out a mirror and it was great coverage. I am not sure about the highlighter yet as very subtle. it seems a simple solution when i am running late and need coverage without layers of make up.

I've used Laura Geller Balance N Brighten for years and up until the last pot was really pleased with it. It could have been that I stored it in the bathroom but it developed hard pan quite early on in its usage. She does have some great products in her range. I actually just bought the two highlighters from that kit which I'm intending to give to my daughter for Christmas but wouldn't mind them for myself. I have got two other highlighters by her though, quite a few blushers and a few lip products. Love her Spackle primer and always repurchase. From memory, the only items that I have not been impressed by are her mascara and eyeliner which broke not long after I started using it.

UU - a conditioner that you get with hair dye kits
UU - Lush 'Damaged' Hair Oil - WBA: this has made my hair so nice! Actually wish I had stored some of it in the fridge for another use. I assumed it was single use but some of the reviewers on the website did this.
UU - a soap that was from a hotel, over the past 2 years I have been getting into using soap and not buying the pump dispensers to reduce on plastic but honestly I think good old soap is cheaper and lasts so much longer too!

I use bar soap in the bathroom and it does the job just fine.

Avon Hair Colour in Deep Mahogany Red - these are cheap and very effective.

Clinique Moisture Surge 15ml - I used to love this but don't find it moisturising enough now so WNBA.

UU - Nip+Fab Dragon's Blood Fix - Hyaluronic Shot
I have another one of this and I really love it. I WBA in the future. Nip+Fab products are great although and they usually have some good deals.

I fell off the wagon as I could not resist a LE C&P orange & mint which might be last year's scent but smells lovely.

I have a couple of OUTS and some INS:-


First, the INs. I was reading Facebook yesterday and someone commented on finding good dupes at ALDI. Decided to pop in on the way to work because I still really wanted to try the Hot Cloth Cleanser as I've nearly finished the MURAD Cleanser and don't like the Lacura foaming cleanser as it dries my skin out. So I found and purchased:-


2 x hot cloth cleanser
2 x illuminating balm (Clarins copy)
1 x primer (Smashbox copy)
1 Highlighter and Contour set (Charlotte Tilsbury copy)
1 bronzer (Benefit Hoola Bronzer copy).


Some will be gifts (or at least that's how I justified it). I tried both the cleanser and the balm last night and both are lovely so I have thrown away the foaming cleanser.


UU: Benefit Roller Lash mascara. Have replaced this with DiorShow mini mascara. It may be mini but the brush is massive!

Lacura cotton wool pads. In the main cotton wool pads are cotton wool pads. Will buy from anywhere. I don't discriminate (although I remember the Sainsbury's ones were not great).

Neither are Boots' since they changed them! I find Tesco's are the best with the Morrison's Nutmeg ones a close second...haven't tried Superdrug yet....

Wow, this is a really good list, thanks! :A
