No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2019

radioles1408

Hello, I'd like to join in for the first time too.

I am fed up of the number of almost finished toiletries in my house, so I'm going to attempt to use up 30 things this month, one for each day in September. Some of these will be mini or medium size products that have come from hotels or gift sets, but I figure they all count

Had a great start yesterday, between the family we managed to finish up 4 shower gels and I then finished my Jack Wills Five Body Wash and Body Scrub last night, so 6 UU.

September total UU 6/30

Finish 7 by Autumn NARS Outlaw and NARS Gilda blush
OPI A Definite Moust Have
A fragrance
Colourpop Supershock shadow : Bill
OPI mini lacquer Aurora Berry Alis


Thought for a moment that I had the tiniest speck of pan in the Outlaw blush but I think this was wishful thinking!


Keeping a fragrance in there as my Liz Earle Botanical No 1 is getting low so may finish this too.


I'm really not getting on with the Smashbox eyeshadow since I broke it from the pan and have tried using it loose and with Fix Plus but it still migrates down my face. Calling it done.


Can see some daylight in the bottle of A Definite Moust Have and am going to apply it again tomorrow.

I'm not sure that I have time to tot up my totals for last month. This month has been spendy already though as I ran out of everything at once. Have ordered:-


Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser
Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream 100ml as both Emma and I use it and both out of stock.
Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue


Also ordered Elemis Sensitive Shave Gel for MRM.



I'm probably going to need a new concealer soon as I popped the stopper out of mine this morning.


As I made considerable savings on the items above I splurged and paid full price for an Hourglass Dim Light powder on Saturday. I was looking at them on Ebay but am so dubious about buying make up in case I get a fake. This powder does last me a year though.



Have brought the Nude by Nature powder into work for a friend. It wasn't staying put on my face the way the Hourglass one does.

My PP will focus on make up this month. I’m off work for a few weeks with family visiting and there will be lots of photos taken. I’ll be focusing on anything I don’t / don’t often wear to work:

1 concealer
1 contour kit
2 blushers
4 liquid/cream eye shadows
4 kohl eyeliners
Brow highlighter
3 red lipsticks
3 wedding/honeymoon lipsticks (why let them go bad saving them for special occasions?!)
1 lipgloss

I had a terrible make up day today. All the foundation and powder seemed to look cakey on the left cheek and the nose all the foundation evapourated. My eye make up seemed to look more like a horror show than glamour. must do better.

It's bizarre same products and giving longer to allow layers to settle or even too much product can throw everything off.

sunny-money- it's wonderful to wear a special lipstick frequently and bring back memories of a special event more often. Wear them and if complemented tell someone it was a colour you wore for a wedding, it will make you smile telling the story.

I forgot bought aloe vera gel earilier in the week.

Thank you. MrM didn't think so re: the powder but it lasts me a year so the ml for ml value is phenomenal ha ha. Absolutely hate paying full price for anything. Was kicking myself though as the next day I saw someone selling the Hourglass powder on one of the Facebook Groups that I belong to but hey ho.



UU today: Elemis PCMC. Hoping the 100ml arrives soon.
