No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2020

Superdrug Hand Rescue Balm 75ml - this was kept by the kitchen sink to use after cleaning up, it was nice enough, the only reason I WNBA is the plastic.

I really do need to just buy what is good and I like rather than dither and buy cheaper products because they might be good!

This is my new approach, get everything used up and then restock with things I know work or really like only.

3 out today Used up

Bath bomb
Superdrug satsuma shower gel 100ml
Tresemme shampoo 100ml

Soaked my gels off today ready to be redone tomorrow. My salon charges £10 to remove so I bought acetone, foil wraps and pads last year to use as overtime this will save a fortune. Only my second time removing myself and happy enough

Andrea gentle eye make up remover pads. 75 in the tub. Got another tub that I just opened. I thought it might be more effective to use these rather than cotton and eye makeup remover stuff. Once it's finished, not rebuying. I just can't seem to get rid of an oily film in my after using these.

Tossing:

Benefit mini They're Real mascara. Just do not like the brush. It's got these two little spiky bits near the tip. I'm worried I'm going to scratch the eye. Plus it's clumpy. Maybe it's just a bad batch?

Liz Earle Eyebright 50ml - I just don't see the point of this product so I gave it to DD to try and has made her skin bright red so we have poured it down the sink.


I agree about buying what you know works rather than trying everything and falling for the claims. I've been using a basic and natural routine for quite some time now and am finding that my skin is supple and bouncy and looks healthy, the cocktail of chemicals in products can't be good for us even more so when we layer one on top of the other. I hope to move to more natural makeup eventually but using what I have will be a long job.

I'm back in - albeit belatedly!

A couple of UU's to report straight away:
A Dove shower cream - it was bought post christmas last year in Boots as part of a gift set in the 70% off sale I think so was a bargain. As with most of those sorts of things, it was OK, did the job, smelt nice, and I'd buy it again if it was suitable bargainous!
A mini conditioner that came with my hair colour. I usually set these aside to put in my travel toiletries now as I prefer a heavier duty conditioner once I've used this one once immediately post-colour. I will acquire more as I buy more hair colour.
A Nutrisse hair colour - my usual purple one. I buy these 2 at a time as Superdrug usually has them for 2 for £9, and I will be buying again later this month.

I've also put a mini Clinique mild liquid facial soap into use as I didn't have a wash-off cleanser on the go currently, so that is getting used in the mornings while my S&G and No 7 ones get alternated at night.

I've got a splutterer too - my Olay BB cream tinted moisturiser which is my absolute HG product is on the way out. I have another in the stash though - in fact I may even have 2!

Also got a few in's - the S&G Star Gift tin, as I expected, plus a big bottle of a rather lovely smelling Avon shower cream (it smells of chocolate!) plus a couple of lip balm - no issue having loads of those as I carry one in every coat pocket and they do get used!) All of the above were christmas presents anyway.

Hello all, it's nice to see some familiar names still posting here. :hello: I haven't been on the MSE forums for some time but used to participate in this challenge for a couple of years. I still have a lot of toiletries but have managed to organise them and I rarely buy these days. I'll try and join in again.

Welcome back Babafette!

I took great delight in removing a S&G Clean On Me from the stash this morning and putting it into use! If I actually had a HG shower gel/cream this would be it I think - it smells amazing, and lathers beautifully, without being at all drying. Just a pleasure to use.

I got giddy this morning as I hit pan in the matte shadow in my Smashbox Full Exposure pallette. Went to find my post about the Finish 7 by Spring and only then realised it is no longer in the Project! Never mind, any pan is good right?
