No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2019

VALM

UU Bath and Body Works Summer and Lemons handwash. This was lovely. Will repurchase. Replaced with pumpkin smelling one. Doesn’t matter what the name is, they all have generic smell.

VALM

Another UU : Dove deodorant. Must stick with my Nivea HG which I am using next.


I also hit pan on another eyeshadow this morning: Rollin in Dough from the Too Faced Chocolate Gold palette which is a cream matte shade I use for setting my primer.

Oh, and nearly forgot, my INs from my calendar for yesterday and today are Mineral Veil (will go in Emma's stocking) and BM Prime Time primer.

When I finished my Clinique lipstick recently I got out a mini Lancome Rouge in Love one to replace it, it is in a dark berry colour and is a sort of matte velvet finish. The last few days it has been wobbling when I applied it and this morning it broke off at the base and fell on the doormat in the hallway. I have had to throw it out now. I wasn't too keen on it anyway due to it being matte.

I think I may need to join you all again - having suggested this morning that MrEH might like to buy the the S&G Star Gift from Boots as part of my christmas present. While far from the heady "old days" of this thread when I had a stash of a ludicrous size, I DO have quite an accumulation of body butters of various types that I'd like to get through.

My decision on the S&G set is from a position of logic - the mascara & lip gloss are my favourites, ditto the shower gel (and it's a mahoosive bottle that lasts for ages!) - the face wash & body scrub will get used and that alone makes it worth its money at the reduced price. The other bits are all added extras but in fact again I'll use the lot - however I do have duplicates of most (other than the hair mask) already in the stash so...

Currently in use:
No 7 Gel to Oil cleanser
S&G cleansing milk (Peaches & Clean)
Micellar Water (a Garnier one I think) *
Tresemme shampoo and conditioner - the HUGE bottles - these are a LONG way off finishing!
Moroccan Oil
Dove shower gel *
Body Shop Spiced apple bubble bath
Clinque Sparkle Skin Scrub - need to use this, not covet it for "best". (PRCP)
Body Shop Brazil Nut body butter **
Body shop peppermint candy cane handcream (home)
Molton Brown Orange 7 Bergamot handcream (Handbag)
Clinique Moisture Surge

* these are both on the way out - I have about half the shower gel left but that will go down quickly, and the micellar water probably has another month in it.
** I really don't like this - it was given to me as a gift and I'm just not loving the smell at ALL. That in turn of course means I don't use it. I think I may need to bite the bullet on this and just bin it.

I'm not going to list the full stash - it's kind of under control these days aside from the body butter mountain anyway - although that might change after christmas! :rotfl: Posting on here again should make me focus on using things up though!

UU omSHE aromatherapy Hemp shampoo - not my cup of tea and did nothing for my hair WDNBA - ended up using most of it as shower gel which I still hated!

Betharooni

IN - 3 boxes Kool ‘n’ Soothe Migraine Cooling Strips

Not a planned purchase but have been suffering really badly with migraines over the last few months and they were on offer.

No UUs yet but down to last dregs of a few bits so should have some to report fairly soon.

Welcome back. I think a lot of us OG Forumites are pretty well behaved now. For me, this is the place for a good chat about various products and I’ve learnt a lot. Also love that none of us are judgmental. We all still make purchases but it seems that these are always considered.
