No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2019

mrs_potato_head

I’ve been following this thread and have decided to have a go myself, picked 8 beauty products that need using up, and 8 makeup products (8 for Easter).

One of the products I’ve got is a full bottle of Sanctuary Therapist’s Secret Facial Oil - https://www.sanctuary.com/therapist-s-secret-facial-oil/

I used to use this years ago, but found it makes my eyes watery now if it goes anywhere near them. Does anyone have any suggestions how I could use this up? I don’t fancy putting it in my hair as I love Moroccan hair oil for that.

Loving this thread!

Could you use it as body oil after a bath or shower?

I’ve just ordered some ABC Skinwash from QVC. Their Big Deal at the moment is a kit containing a litre bottle, 3 x cleansing balms and a bottle of the oil.

Hoping to finish the Nivea eye makeup remover later and also a Bath and Body Works handwash.

Went away for a few nights, only UU’d a shared dry shampoo! Because I have hardly any mini’s now, I mainly took full size products and decanted some - it’s not as bad as you think to be without mini’s. I didn’t buy anything either and the opportunity was definitely there..

I guesstimate I’m down to about 114, (excluding my Neals Yard INs and UU’s! :whistle: )

Good idea!!! I’ll give it a go tomorrow I love Nivea eye make up remover (the one you need to shake?) and have almost finished my bottle with another on standby LOL

Happy New Year to everyone!

UUs:

Lacura expert double effect eye gel - Copy of a L'oreal product, even down to the packaging. WNBA, seemed nice enough but I think the best remedy against eye bags is to actually sleep at a decent hour.

Rosewater/glycerin mixture, which I have replaced with a new mixture.

Waitrose baby wipes, WMBA, copy of the branded baby water wipes. Unfortunately, last few wipes dried up so I re-purposed as cleaning wipes.

Ins:

I couldn't resist temptation and bought some boots bargains so reinforcing my 2019 no purchases challenge:

3 x Soap and glory body scrubs
3 x seventeen lipsticks
75 ml boots smile mouthwash
2 x Boots baby wipes
Blue indulgent bathing luxury gift box- GWP

One UU tonight:

The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml WDBA and will do. I've got another tub of this on its way to me but I'm focusing on using the REN Hot Cloth Cleanser up first. I love this Cleansing Butter so much. And I love the smell. I love it that much that it would be one of my desert island products. I'm rambling now ��

Same here although it does not remove all mascara. I'm using Diorshow at the moment and have to double cleanse with a No7 wipe as well.

Yay, first UUs of 2019, so excited (I know, I need to get out more!):-


1. Bath & Body Works Foaming Hand Wash - Fresh Spring Garden - Nice enough. Not sure I would repurchase this fragrance. Have 3 more in stash. This was in our kitchen so will replace it later.


2. Ateliar Cologne Bois Blonde soap - this was a mini from my advent calendar. Whilst I've said before that these are creamy they do break up quite quickly and once a soap does this I need to discard of bits so that they don't bung up the drain. Thought the fragrance was a bit meh. Could smell vetiver but very mildly. Preferred the Vetiver Fatale.


3. Atelia Cologne Santal Carmine sample - I'm not a lover of santal fragrance. It's too musky.

I 'hit pan' on my Palmers solid cocoa butter which felt like it was never going to happen!
PYNW yesterday I painted my nails using both my PP basecoat and emerald colour! Might commit to this shade of nail all month and keep reapplying it...
