No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2019

fixx

First post for Feb, but I'm def back in

UUs - I've got through alllllllll my conditioner! It was quite a lot, especially as I often buy multiple large bottles of my HG, which takes up a lot of space.
- Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Reconstructor, 750ml. WDBA - HG, have been using for years.
- Luseta Keratin Conditioner, mini/40ml. WNB - fine, but nothing exciting.
- Tesco cleansing facial wipes. WMBA - cheap (cost me 50p) and cheerful, and perfectly usable.
- Elemis Papaya enzyme peel. WDBA - HG mask, always makes a difference. Expensive so I only buy on offer.
- The Ordinary Buffet serum. WMBA - got it for £5 in the Black Friday sale, and quite impressed, but don't loooove it. Sometimes feels a bit 'slippy' but does quickly sink in. Seems to need a bit more per application than other serums I like though.
- Origins Plantscription Anti-aging Power Eye cream. WDBA - annoyingly, as this isn't cheap, it's the best eye cream for my fine lines that I can remember using. Lines decreased enough when using for me to stop being bothered by them, and since I've stopped using it, they're definitely more noticeable, and bugging me again I'm experimenting with other creams in my stash, but will def be keeping an eye out more more offers on this.
- Clinique moisture surge intense mini. WNB - like it, always happy to use it, just not a HG.
- L'Occitance immortelle divine cream mini. WMB - really lovely. Just not sure it's a HG.
- Clarins Instant Smooth perfecting touch primer, mini. WMB - it's very nice, definitely smoothing. I've got others in stash to use first though.
- Ren V-Cense Revitalising Night Cream, mini/15ml. WNB - nice, but not amazing.
- Cotton pads.

In:
- 2 packs of cotton pads from Aldi
- Lush Big solid conditioner - trying something new
- A from a charity sale at work, I paid £1 for a drinking bottle/cup with some mini toiletries: Being by Sanctuary Spa - Hibiscus & Coconut shower gel, body lotion, and body mist.

Edit: 1 TA also - L'Oreal Elvive dream lengths no haircut cream. WNBA - I tried repeatedly with this, but it was average at best, and just not worth persevering, given I have other hair creams and serums in my stash that leave my hair looking loads better.

Lovely lady fixx PMed me and offered a free Mally eyeshadow stick called Snow Drift as it pulls more grey on her than the sandy colour that it looks in the stick. I have received it and it pulls grey on me too but is perfect for under my Smashbox grey shadow from the Full Exposure Palette. Thank you Fixx for you random act of kindness. I like the formula again and (so long as it doesn't break like the Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks did) I'll look to purchase at some point.

You are very welcome - I'm glad someone can make use of it, and it's one less thing in my makeup pile

4. No 7 Cuticle and Nail Cream Not repurchasing this as I'll just rub hand cream into my cuticles and maybe rose hip oil if I feel the need.

I have used several Rosehip oils, Trilogy, A'Kin and Fushi most recently. My favourite is A'Kin and I have a back up of this. I find it to be very gentle and healing and have been able to use it even on dermatitis outbreaks on my face.

PYNM I just applied Barry M Gelly in Blue Jade, love this shade.
I am not loving the Barry M Peel it base coat I have but it won't get used up if I don't use it!

Thinking of trying to cut down the amount of times I wash my hair... and use up my dry shampoo more.

Not posted any UUs for a while but that's mainly because I'm not using stuff up regularly enough but do have three recent ones to report.

Avon handcream. An ok handcream, did the job but not as good as the one I used to get that they don't seem to do anymore.

Dove deodorant. My usual go to deodorant but now have a friend who does forever living and so have ordered a deodorant from her as quite like their deodorant. Picked it up tonight so I can start using it tomorrow.

Perfume sample from FM World. Using up all the discontinued samples. A nice scent but not a favourite.

Do you know what it was called? I can ask on the Rep page.....

An update from me (obviously I'm in for another month!)

INs
Batiste Dry Shampoo 200ml - Tropical
Dentyl Mouthwash 500ml - Smooth Mint
Femfresh Powder 200g x 2
Lacura Beautifying Daily Balm 50ml (seems to be a dupe of Clarins Flash Balm)

TA
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream 56.7ml - I found it at the bottom of my dance bag and it stank!

UU
Soap & Glory Righteous Butter 300ml
Superdrug Trichology Scalp Tonic 150ml - HG
Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash 30ml

GA
Lacura Coffee Scrub 200g - Coconut
Lacura Coffee Scrub 200g - Orange
I used about half the orange one but I hated how long it took to get rid of all the grains, the smell of coffee was a bit horrible when mixed with orange and it left a very weird looking tint on my skin!
Olay Daily Facial Cloths x 30 - felt very drying

If you want to try a coffee scrub I can heartily recommend LUSH Cup o Coffee x

A few INs today:

Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner 190ml
Paula’s Choice Defense Antioxidant Pore Purifier 5ml
Paula’s Choice Clear Oil Free Moisturiser 15ml
Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Gel sample
Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Gel sample

I bought this using the money I received on my birthday, and I bought these as a treat to cheer me up after failing my driving test last week.Though I am nearing the end of my open bottle of the toner, so that's a replacement ready for when I finish it.

It was called Avon Nail Experts Hand Care Complex Hand Cream and was a white tube with a pink lid. They then replaced the packaging to all white. I'm using the white tube now and although it sinks in really quickly it's not very moisturising but that's probably down to how long I've had it. If you can find out what the equivalent might be I'd love to know as not been able to find a hand cream just as good as the white and pink tube.
