No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries April 2020

sstevo19

One UU from the other day to report:

La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml - WDBA and have done. My HG moisturiser. My skin seems to respond well to this and I'm a bit hesitant to try new ones. It's also very hard to find moisturisers which don't have any Dimethicone in them. My skin breaks out because of that one ingredient.

A UU tonight - LUSH Yog Nog shower gel - this was a secret santa and I don't think I would have chosen to purchase it myself but I ended up really appreciating it because it smelt so cheerful!

Will stick these here, thanks everyone for a motivating month

April PP List
Philosophy Raspberry Glazed Shower Gel 500ml

Soap & Glory Butter Yourself Body Lotion 500ml

L'oreal Ever Riche Conditioner 250ml

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Nourishing Mask 300ml

Charles Worthington Overnight Hair Healer

My 7 by Summer list

1. No17 Brown Brow Pencil - this has been hanging around long enough

2. No17 Falsifye HD Mascara in black

3. No7 High Shine Lip Crayon in Statement

4. Barbara Daly Trade Secrets Sheer lip melt in Adorable

5. Rimmel Hide the Blemish concealer stick

6.  Miss Sporty Dr Balm lipbalm in  Sweet Kiss SOS

7. Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight - don't think I have a chance with this but will include it.

I finished the L'oreal Ever Riche Conditioner yesterday, this one is for dry, fine hair which is mine exactly, it worked really well, I have an Ever Sleek one plus plenty of other conditioners to use before I try out a solid bar type.

I have got rid of a tiny bottle of MUA nail polish in a sort of purply colour, it was pretty much used up, when I say got rid of it is in a bag in the garage to go the recycling centre hazardous waste area.  I haven't painted my fingernails in about 2 months and they are stronger than they've been in a very, very long time, I'm still painting my toes though.

I will carry over the shower gel and hair mask to next month.  I'm using the mascara and brow pencil from my 7 by Summer list everyday, the concealor is a bit light at the moment so I am using a darker one and I am using the lip crayons when I go out but it's only to the supermarket a couple of times a week and a daily dog walk, the No7 red one is not too bold so I can get away with it.

Totals for April in = 0, UU/GA/TA = 20.

VALM

Scores on the doors for me are 3 TA (including the OPI Nail Envy.  It became too gloopy to use), 16 UUS and 11 INS.

Another out used up. Prai Throat Creme 15ml. Didn’t see any real benefits, have a 30ml of it now to tackle. Both came in Sub boxes

OK, I'm in as usual.  Would miss you all otherwise.  Update re: Finish 7 by Summer Challenge:-

Rollin in Dough eyeshadow

NARS Gilda Blush

NARS Outlaw Blush

These three items are almost done so will lump them together as a springboard: Marc Jacobs Infamous mini lipstick, Anastasia Beverley Hills lipgloss in Weekend Barbie and Bare Minerals loose Blush called Hint

Smashbox matte eyeshadow from Full Exposure palette

Laura Geller Gilded Honey highlighter deluxe sample size - do have pan in this but still think it will last until Summer

Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder in Dim Light - again I already have pan.

The pan is widening in Rollin in Dough, the Smashbox shado, Gilded Honey and Dim Light.  Of the three items that I counted as one I now only have the ABH lipgloss to work on.  Those two blushes are still defying pan!!  I've started bringing in an alternative to use as I am a bit bored of them.
