No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2020

UU

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Handcream. 30ml. WNBA. More of a thick lotion than a cream. Lovely scent, just not heavy duty enough for my skin in the winter months.

Nails Inc Porchester Square - used it last night, there was a lot of tipping and rolling to get enough on the brush, it has gone very thick too so some nails were a bit of a mess but my topcoat saved them. Has gone in the pile in the garage for the tip. This was the old style bottle and I have another this colour and style in the stash and a gel one.

ABC body spray

[STRIKE]Gym for your skin vitamin c serum[/STRIKE]


Gym for your skin vitamin c serum - have recently bought a back up of this. Even though I have said I won't repurchase other items I am going to keep a look out for this to see if I can get it cheaper than RRP (£37.00). Steveo, as my resident skincare guru on here, what is the reommended shelf life for Vitamin C derived serums? I know they have a shorter shelf life but not how long.

One UU from last night:

Oral B Satin Tape 25m WDBA. An essential. Cheap and effective

One IN from yesterday:

Jordan Samuel Skin The Matinee Gel Cleanser 180ml

I have never been so excited about a product in my life. I've been wanting to try this range for ages, and it finally landed on Cult Beauty this week, as you couldn't order it from them directly as they're based in the US. I used this last night and it was beautiful. I could have bought more from this brand but I decided to just get one item and then try one of the other cleansers when I've finished some more of my cleansers.

Three UUs:
Mac face & body foundation - this was OK but I am going back to Armarni Power Fabric, much nicer (and more expensive)
Bar of soap
Hotel shower gel - this smelt like ginger beer which was very disconcerting

No Ins. I seem to have a million travel sized and mini shower gels, don't know where they have appeared from, time to work through them.

I'm enjoying the nail polish chat. I stained my nails with some purple varnish a few years ago and had to keep them painted for about 6 months until it had grown out. Had been having a break, but think I might do a PYNF!

Two IN this week

Sure Invisible Stick Deo 2/2
50ml Avene Rich Compensating Cream 3/3

I will have a UU of the Deo very soon, but wanted to keep the last few applications to go in my weekend bag, we are having a weekend break next weekend and want to pack small/lightweight toiletries.

My local chemist are obvs not stocking Avene in the future and have been selling off remaining stock 1/2 price. I am still having a nasty dermatitis flare on my cheek/orbital bone, so thought it a good opportunity to try the above, sadly it stings like the blazes:eek: Not getting through my products very well as so much is really stinging and really irritating the area.

Remaining items on PP list

200ml Body Shop Coconut Shower Gel
Clinique Grey Eyeliner Pencil **
100 ml Beauty Pie Japanfusion Pure Transforming Cleanser**
30ml Nip + Fab Dragon's Blood Hyaluronic Shot
Full size Lancome Hypnose Mascara
30ml Origins Drink Up Mask
50ml Beauty Pie Super Retinol Face Serum
2 tablets hand soap 1 out 18/1/20**
250ml The White Company Hand/Body Lotion**

I should be able to finish everything marked **

Hoping to PNYF today with OPI Catherine The Grape.

Two OUTs today:

The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Rescue Cream Mask 100ml
Ultrasun Face Anti-Ageing SPF50+ 50ml

The Ultrasun is clogging my pores up and the mask has Dimethicone in which I didn't see at the time. So I'm offering these to friends to try.

One UU as well:

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Mains Hand Cream 50ml WDBA and will do once I've finished the EOS hand cream I have. Love this hand cream, absorbs instantly and not greasy at all.

Would something like Epiderm or Diprobase sting as well?

One UU this morning:

Bioderma Atoderm Huile de Douche 200ml WNBA. I do like this, it's just a bit joyless. Nice body wash, very good for winter though.
