No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2020

pinkfluffybabe

First UU of 2020:

Odylique coconut cream cleanser WBA. Really like this with a hot cloth.

IN: Doctor Wolff Plantur 39 Conditioner for fine brittle hair - this is 'for hair over forty' and I am not quite there yet but I am intrigued because it seems like it might work on my hair type. I technically didn't need to replace my conditioner but I wanted to switch one in to the mix.
ETA: I used my superdrug gift card

FluffyDog

UU
L'Occitane Dry Skin Handcream 10ml. Nice scent, the men will use it. It's frigid here (-35C) our skin is like paper and I have tubes of handcream scattered everywhere. Need to use it to knit, put on hose and oh, my sweet lord the skin on my back is so dry, husband say's it just soaks lotion in.

VALM

UU Percy & Reed dry shampoo. So torn by this product. It gives a lovely result. My hair looks really shiny with it but £20 for a dry shampoo when I can buy Batiste for £2. Batiste stops my hair from looking greasy so it works.

FluffyDog - wow, I would love to feel how cold that actually is.


VALM/maddiemay - my nails flake at the tip too, do you know anything which helps? I find the hardest wearing polishes for me are Essie, Liz Earle, Avon and Barry M. Nails Inc, OPI and LD just chip straightaway.


uu


Body Shop Wild Argan Shower Gel 250ml - if Body Shop start doing refills near me (like they used to back in the day) I would replace this, it was lovely.

I forgot my other uu


Bare Minerals i.d. Mineral Veil - I don't know what the i.d. means, this brand seems to have a lot of names for the same products. This was a mini pot but still took forever to use, I don't like the mineral products they make my skin feel really dry and itchy and tight, I invested in quite a lot of the products and brushes at one time and I do use the brushes with other products but they seem to irritate me too, they are quite rough - goat hair iirc.


I don't know what is wrong with me this morning I have another uu I had forgotten about.


LyonsLeaf Beauty Balm 60g - used this to remove my makeup, it does a great job and my skin likes it, it's a natural product, made by a small company in the uk, in a glass jar with a metal lid, you don't need a lot so it works out economical too. WBA and have already replaced it but I am going back to a part used 100ml tube of C&P for now.


asajj - I will let you know if I buy any Epsom salts, I am currently trying to find Soda Crystals in a box - not easy.

This seems like a good article. I use OPI Original Nail Envy as a base coat.

I have a small pot of this in my stash. I’ve never had any adverse effects with the products but could not get the foundation to work for me. It was too much like hard work.

I am using their loose blush in Hint at the moment and really liking that. I also like the new presenters on QVC.

Another UU Prai Neck and D!colletage Cream. Sample size pot that I received in a beauty bundle. Can’t say that I noticed a difference. Will not repurchase.

1 UU - Elizabeth Arden 8 hour hand cream. This was really good but not sure if it is available to purchase anywhere. I got it from TK Maxx a while back. Would buy again if come across.
