No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries April 2020

VALM

Looks like a lot of my PP list will be rolled over.  I have some INS however:-

The Inkey List Kaolin Mask.  I've tried it once and whilst it was brightening it did tingle.  Not a lot and maybe it tingled becuase I used it the same day that I used TBS Vit C peel.  Will let you know when I try again.  As long as the tingle doesn't become a concern this is a strong contender to beat my beloved Decleor Herbal Clay Mask.

The Inkey List Caffeine eye cream.  Too soon to see results but like the light gel texture.

The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum.  Bit disappointed by this as it is more a lotion consistency than serum.  I added some Vitamin B booster to it this morning so I could apply it more evenly.  My skin does look brighter though.

The Inkey List Lactic acid.  This went into the stash and will bring it out when my Glycholic pads are used up.

Then MrM treated me to the recent Elemis TSV which has arrived today containing shower milk, body lotion (good as I'm getting low), eye mask (stashed until the above Inkey List one is done), PCMC (again stashed) and Cleansing balm.  Think I will use that when my TBC Chamomile butter is UU which won't be long.

No ins this month. Not expecting to finish any more by the end of the month so remaining items will just be carried over to May. Hoping to go through stuff again this weekend if possible and work out what I am likely to need in the next few months.

Hope everyone is doing OK in current circumstances.

With no duty free spends likely no this year my stash is going to be depleted. Not a bad thing.

Ages ago I bought a set of mini Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks in the Space NK half price sale, I have used two of them up completely and these were the lighter colours, the others were really dark and just don't suit me, I have tried the remaining one in Khaki for the last few days but have decided to let it go.  These are lovely products in the rosegold type shades for me so WMBA.  I have put the lid from this one in my cosmetic recycling bag to try and get rid of at some point.

I liked the rose gold one too.  They always broke on me though so I decided I would not buy them again.  I have a couple of Mally ones that never get used.  Once my other "bases" are done I will switch to these.

Where do you buy your Asian beauty from sstevo? I tried yesstyle yesterday but only expedited delivery was available and it was so expensive!

I bought the Klairs items from Beauty and Seoul, an UK based site. They're very generous with samples as well. I bought the Hada Labo refill off eBay, surprisingly it arrived quite quickly from Japan. I read that Yesstyle is using expedited services until things start to go back to normal-ish. I did have to pay a bit more for the Klairs items than I would have if I used Yesstyle but I can wait till the shipping rates are back to a reasonable rate.
