No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2018

VALM

UUs:-


Bath and Body Works Snowflakes and Cashmere shower gel. V nice. May repurchase in the future however B&BW have so many fragrances to choose from. Have pulled out one of my mini Atelier Cologne soaps - fragrance Musc Imperial.


Sample of Atelier Cologne Cafe Tuberosa. Nice but would not repurchase. I think I have worked my way through 5 of these samples now and really like both Clementine California and Iris Rebelle.

I don't own a lip brush as I don't wear make up

Cotton buds would probably work if you have some? Not sure what else. I'd probably bin it if I decided it was too much effort - but I have a lot of balms :rotfl:

Use ups really slow now, should manage 1 or 2 more, but will the the best I can do for the end of this year. Still being ultra good and not buying skincare, but have treated myself to:-
IN
Beauty Pie Matte Eye Shadow Palette 1/44

Gave a Leighton Denny nail polish to my friend, it better suits her skin tone, forgot to note the name of it, but not included in this challenge anyway. Also gave her a silver shampoo, as I am now colouring my hair again, I will count this as a GA though:D

I suppose that would work for using up at home and just put a new balm in my handbag.

I use those wooden sticks you can get with take out coffee, don't buy one very often, but they can be used for getting the last dregs of serums, moisturiser etc out of containers and then washed and used lots of time, then use my fingers to spread the product.

Maddie great idea.
i got a palette and spatula in metal in primark and it is great to drag out any small amounts of cream. you can pot excess cream into a sample pot or an old concealer pot, my benefit one is coming in handy in its second purpose,

I'm still here but not actually using anything up, things are just going on forever but I do hope a couple of things will be gone soon, one of them being the dreaded Burts Bees handcream I've been using half my life.

I am calling the Urban Decay Kinky lipgloss done as I can't scrape anymore product from the sides.


In reality, I think this project is finished considering how long I now know certain items take to finish. To summarise though:-


The OPI mini seems to have quite a bit of product left. I intend to keep rotating minis in and finishing them so that I have none left. I think in future if I buy minis I will use them up as soon as I get them.


NARS Albatross highlighter. I intend to pan this NARS Killing Me Softly palette fully next year. Am also working on Orgasm from this palette. Whilst I've depotted that I can't see it being finished this side of Christmas.



No 7 GWP eyeshadow. Have hit pan. Can't see it being finished but will continue to use it until it's gone.


Marc Jacobs Sonic Truth lipstick. Still ongoing. Have pulled out a Buxon gloss to wear on top as I don't like it on it's own. Will continue to use.


UD Darkhorse from Naked 1. I keep thinking that any day now I'll it pan!



5 items used is not bad though?
