No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries March 2019

One UU this morning:
Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Picks 60 count WPNBA due to the environmental impact of them. Handy to have around though.
A few INs this morning as well:
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume 15ml
SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml
La Roche Posay Nutritic Levres Lip Balm 4.7ml
La Roche Posay Nutritic Levres Lip Balm 4.7ml
I made an Easyparapharmacie order as I need more SPF and the SVR Sebiaclear one is one of the only ones I can use daily with no problems. And I thought I would get a small tube of Cicaplast to keep in my locker at work or my backpack, which I normally take to work. And I've missed the Nutritic lip balm which is perfect for this time of year.0 -
A bit late, but here is my March PP/In Use list.
150ml Superfacialist Rose Cream Cleanser
100ml Alpha-H Liquid Gold
15ml NIOD FECS
30ml Pestle & Mortar Pure Hyluronic Serum

200ml Decleor Aroma Cleanse Micellar Water
GWP size E.L. Beautiful EDT.

8.8ml Sally Hansen Cuticle Rehab
5ml Gatineau Anti wrinkle serum
100ml Heathcote & Ivory Lavender Hand Cream
Only the last 4 items are newly added this month, but keeping some of the others on here might give me a nudge to UU, or at least keep using some of them:oThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -

I keep putting some oil into bath water.
I have some new oils that I would prefer to put in a bath, not that I have many baths, but I have some tea tree oil that I bought a number of years ago as I'd heard it was supposed to help with an itchy scalp if you added a couple of drops to your shampoo. Trouble is my scalp isn't so itchy now so just not sure what to do with it.Did owe £9,951.96
Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

If you have children it’s worth adding to their shampoo as a head lice deterrent.
UUs yesterday:-
Sample of The Ordinary Buffet and sample of The Ordinary Granactive Retinol. Nice products but the regime is Too convoluted. Have a sample of the Retinol and Caffeine Solution left.
INs - went to Superdrug yesterday and bought the ELF concealer and Maybelline highlighter In Molten Rose Gold. Didn’t buy a lip liner because there were no testers out at all. Bought a second highlighter for Emma on the 3 for 2 offer. Also bought 2 spray bottles to decant the Jack Wills Body spray into.
Painted my nails last night and am wearing OPI You Don’t Know Jacques, Have a Project Polish going on and this is in it. Want to finish as many red and nude colours as I can this year. Other polishes included at the moment are Red My Fortune Cookie, I Theodora You and Tickle my Francey.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I have a uu which has come as a bit of a surprise to me:
Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Nude Mauve - this is a domed blush which I now assume is baked, I have been using it for 2 weeks or more thinking that it had got hard pan and I was struggling to get any colour, this morning I scraped it and all that is left is the clay pan so no wonder. It is a really gorgeous glowy blusher which I have loved so WMBA.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I spotted a request on Freegle for books and equipment wanted for student about to study hair and beauty. I offered a whole load of eye palettes that for various reasons I don't use.
It turned out that the young lass is currently home schooled because of bullying and has the opportunity to learn hair and beauty with a salon who can put her through some of the training and hopefully when her confidence improves she may be able to attend conventional college. I sent her mum off with all the eye makeup, some empty dropper bottles for mixing oils and potions and the following:-
90ml NIOD Mastic Must 1/3
90ml NIOD Sanskrit Saponins 2/3
Everything was very little used and I hope that she will have lots of fun with them at least.:)
I was bullied for a while around the age of 9/10, but thankfully never later and I could cry when I hear some of the things that happen:eek:The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -

I've heard tea tree is supposed to be good for that. Might start using it on a regular basis on my son.Did owe £9,951.96

One UU tonight:
Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner 3ml sample WDBA and will do in the future. Love this toner. Helps hydrate my skin.0 -
Maddiemay- It was lovely of you to giveaway the palettes to her. I hope that it will bring her joy and encourage her that there is kindness from people. All your goodness will hopefully encourage her to see beyond the bullies.
Dolly84- sometimes pans just appear out of nowhere. I will look at maxfactor more now as it sounds really nice.
Valm- Elf range is fantastic, the products I highly recommend. They stay on really well and last ages.
Gemzie121- Welcome back. I missed your posts and hope that you are settled in your new home. I feel off the wagon too so just getting back to panning all I own.
Used up Aldi glycolic wipes. They are so gentle that I imagine that they are low strenght. They have no sting, very mild. WNBA. Keeping on panning stuff is hard going but I can see some light as a few long haul will end soon.0
