No buying unnecessary toiletries May 2019

One UU this morning:

Noreva Sensidiane Soothing Micellar Lotion 500ml WDBA and will do. This is my HG morning/2nd cleanser. Love this stuff, very gentle and soothing.

I'm hoping to finish an SPF and my eye cream before the end of the month

Pickle- I was interested in the soap making as years ago I had to do it for chemistry. I remember being disappointed with the yields. So bare with it, the yields will improve with the technique

I learned a long time ago many hand made soaps use a glycerin pre-mix soap base- they add the favours/ colours and solid (flowers, oatmeal and sparkly stuff) to the mix and pour into molds to set.

Hopefully once you get the process down the yields will be great as it will be a lovely Christmas present.

Thanks for the tip.

Yes, it would be nice to make then as a Christmas present. I work in a large office so buying even something small for people works out very expensive!

I have a TA!

Yonjai Spa Cedarwood and Orange Body Lotion: this was a present I didn't get the chance to use before it went off. Admittedly, I had it lurking round for a while, but looking up the company online as I have never heard of them, I think the gifter might have had it hanging round for a while before giving it to me! :rotfl:

Still, if it's not usable there's no point having it taking up cupboard space.

Philosophy Pure Grace gone. Used as a room spray in the end. Would repurchase but at a time when I can use it quite quickly.

I think I’ll have 2 more items from my PP List done by the end of this month being the Elemis cleanser (bottle cut open) and Lacura serum. Apparently loads more skincare goodies going on sale at ALDI next week.

Other items that are close are Nicea deodorant (storing upside down, Lacura primer (cut open), Lacura Flash balm (very light) as too is my litre sized ABC skin wash. OGX shampoo is spluttering but I only use this twice a week at most so may last longer.

Another UU today:

Emma Hardie super rich body butter. WNBA. Very moisturising but took ages to rub in, so not great for rushed mornings.

UU Elf Concealer. New one in stash.

My updated lists. The Philosophy shower gel has just a few more uses in it now but the body lotion is still going strong as I was using the Dermol one more. The 7 by Summer list hasn't had any movement for ages, the mini mascara is starting to get drier now but is still really nice to use, I don't think I'm anywhere near pan on the blush or the eyeshadow and that brow pencil will still be with me at Christmas I reckon.

Hello everyone. I have a TA - Bourjois lipstick in Sweet Kiss. Only used a couple of times but this colour is not something I enjoy using anymore. Also has a strong cosmetic scent that Loreal lipsticks also have and I dislike.
I also selected a couple of items from my stash to sell. They are all new makeup products and I will not get around using them so may as well try and sell.

Didn’t have the pamper weekend I planned to, not because of lack of time but lack of motivation... hmmm..

UU

Body Shop oils of life facial oil, used on body and felt bad about but have too many face moisturisers to use.

Simple face wipes, mainly used by OH and hopefully she won’t purchase again now we use the face halos. Although an update on these, I feel like I have to machine wash them more often than I planned and mine doesn’t come fully clean anymore already.

Had to throw away my bottle of OPI You Don't Know Jacques this morning as the brush broke away from the bottle top. Never had this happen before. Not that bothered either as I was really feeling meh about this colour now. Will choose another nude for my unofficial project polish. Am wearing OPI Tickle My Francey instead. This is in my Finish 7 by Summer challenge but I fear will still be going as I have a good half bottle left.


Pulled out a mini to replace the one I finished last week - OPI Aurora Berry-Alis which looks lovely.

One UU from last night:

Garnier Eye Sheet Mask Hyaluronic Acid and Orange Juice 6g WDBA and may do in the future. This is nice. Very hydrating for my under eye area. Very nice. I'm probably going to look for more biodegrable options in the future, I've seen that the Heimish Rose Hydrogel patches are water soluble, so that's a bit better on the environment.
