No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries March 2019

asajj

Hello everyone. Had another long week at work so not much update on UU front but I will order a couple of things next few days from Paula's Choice as they have 20% off for International Women's Day.
My LF box for the month has arrived and there was a full size Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid in it - I'm surprised and happy. Other INs from the box are:
Morphe High Impact Highlighter
Esos Lip Balm
Madara Charcoal & Mud Face Fask
Rituals Sakura Hand Balm
Onorovicza Cleansing Foam 30ml (will put on Ebay as this brand makes my skin itchy due to heavy scent)

I have gifted a Ted Baker hand cream to a friend. I also selected few other things to put on Ebay tomorrow.

UU - Japanfusion Day Cream from Beauty Pie. WBA. Really good.

Another UU:

Dr Haushka Quince day cream. WNBA. Felt like a nice product but I'm pretty sure it's the culprit of the spots all over my chin!

Two INs from yesterday:

Nivea Pearl and Beauty Deodorant 50ml
Oral B Satin Tape 25m

Popped into to Poundland to pick up a few back ups for some items that are nearing the end.

I thought the miracle cream could be a knock off 8 hour cream but i looked at them today and the main ingredient is petroleum jelly- it would be better to buy vaseline and save half the money.

A few UU to report:

Superdrug crush body spray - WNBA I didn't love the scent.

Lush berry berry Xmas shower gel 250g - WMBA this was ok. The scent grew on me a little in the end but wouldn't say it's a favourite. I don't need to buy more of this anyway as I've a 500g stashed away. It's quite a pine-y scent when I expected a really fruity berry scent. The consistency is great though, a little goes a long way and it's a beautiful colour. The scent also lingers on your skin which I love about lush products.

Sanctuary radiance exfoliator - WBA HG product. The right amount of scrubbiness and makes my skin feel lovely. I like to pair this with the sanctuary foaming facial wash.

Was naughty today and treated myself to Lush American cream perfume before it sells out. I nearly bought golden pear and sweetie pie jellies but read someone say that golden pear is very chemical smelling so that put me off even though it's one of my favourite scents, and I talked myself out of sweetie pie because I know I've at least one pot stashed away. I figure if I miss golden pear I can buy more of the soap at Christmas instead. American Cream won't be a bad purchase as I adore the scent so it will get lots of use and won't be regretted.

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.

:wave: savingfortomorrow!

It's bizarre to think we've been here for 2 and a bit years now! Most of my posts were at my old house, and when I did the sleep in care job! It does feel like home now but we are still unpacking boxes after all this time and still so much to do. I've been at my job for 2 years now too! I still have a ton of toiletries in boxes in the garage, I haven't been adding to it as such the past 2 years, only really essentials that run out like mouthwash and the like. I did sell a ton of lush so my stash figures won't be accurate anymore but I wouldn't know where to start in adding it all up again. I've had some surgery too which reduced how much I was using up as I wasn't able to wash my hair everyday and so on but I'm trying hard to remember to use everything again now like I used to. I got lazy for a while and stopped using my toner, lip scrubs, face masks etc but I'm back on it again now and trying to get my old routine back. It's taken a while to settle in to this new life but starting to get there. Things are a bit more organised and more stable.

I remember posting when we got Theo hamster in 2016 too! He had a happy 2 and a half years bless him. Time just absolutely flies, it's crazy. We have a little apricot and white coloured hamster called Barley who came to live with us last September. He's the total opposite of Theo - very timid and quiet but he's a lovely little man. It wouldn't be home without one. The nice thing with having a day job now is that I can spend more time with them than I used to be able to.

I hope things are going well and that you are ok!

Used to love TBS body butters. When the recession hit there used to be loads of offers/glitches on when ordering these online and when we used to visit the Outlet at Cheshire Oaks more often I'd pick them up. I find the Boots Extracts body butters comparable and those by Bath and Body Works.

TBS are my favourite too out of all I've tried. I always come back to them. I like the odd lush lotion like sympathy for the skin, and do like B&BW Shea creams but TBS still my favourite by far. I still have ones I bought in the Xmas 2014 sales . Still kept their scent too! Oh yes and boots extracts are lovely. My favourite one was the cocoa butter. I haven't used that one in ages, will have to dig one out of my stash next time I'm in the garage. Garage door is broken so needs 2 of us to open it so have to wait until mum's about to help.

Does anyone know if garnier fructis is discontinued? I used to love the colour one but in the shops the other day had a thought that I haven't seen it in forever. Shame if it is as I loved the scent and it worked well on my hair, was always in the pound shop too. I'm praying if I root through my tubs that I've still got some stashed away.

I threw away the bottle of OPI I Theadora You last night. The top was wedged on and I seriously could not be bothered busting a gut to remove it. All in all the formula had gone off and I did use it quite a bit during the Project.

Made an order yesterday for 2 x tan accelerators for Emma and I as we go away in 5 weeks time. I usually buy Elemis but wanted a cheaper one. Have ordered Protan from justmylook.com. I also ordered a replacement OPI Infinite Shine Gloss (top coat) as mine probably has little left in it (black opaque bottle that is difficult to see through). This is new HG. Consistency has not changed at all.

GA
Baylis & Harding soap gift set
Pantene volumising mousse
V05 dry backcombing spray

Also GA 2 of my OHs hair styling product rejects so a nice little de-clutter.

Make up Revolution Foundation Stick - I scraped the last of this from the tube into a pot and did find it was much heavier coverage that way than using it straight from the stick but wanted to use it all. This is £5 and currently on 3 for 2 making it amazing value, it is so easy to apply and blend, the coverage and finish is fab. Might not suit very oil skins though. WBA HG but I have other foundations in the stash so I will wait until the next 3 for 2 and let Superdrug be the stockist instead of me.
