No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - May

Korres Bergamot Pear Body Milk 40 ml
This was from LF Beauty Box and I liked using it. Great consistency. Like all other Korres products, I might buy it although i think it is no longer available.

Oh my gosh I just realised I deleted the note with my stash list and detailed notes on it, nightmare!
Anyway I came on here to say I had to TA my Ordinary Hemi-Squaline as it had definitely gone off. Would buy in future, this was passed on by my mum though and god knows how long she'd had it, I would use more quickly so it was fresh.

I work in the NHS and was given a 'goody bag' on a shift today containing toiletries, going to pass some along but will keep and use the following:
Palmer's Cocoa Butter
Mitchum mini deodorant
Burt's Bee's Red Raspberry Lip Balm 
Essence Crystal Crush Eyeliner
Unwined by Hask deep conditioner treatment - bizarre... this is inspired by Pinot Grigio apparently

so there goes my less IN's than OUT's this month I reckon.
Don't want to get involved in a debate but I agree that non-NHS people who work in key roles and the supply chain should be recognised more, supermarket workers are not getting enough. I definitely think it has gotten to the point where giving stuff to NHS workers is now a PR stunt. I am grateful to have a job right now. Take care everyone and be kind to each other.

One further UU today:

Trilogy Rosehip Oil. WNBA. A good oil but I think there are others that are better.

That’s a shame. I haven’t tried Revolution make up, I don’t think but did have a MUS dupe of UD Naked which I used so much. The packaging broke though.
if anyone wants a palette recommendation I would suggest the Urban Decay Born to Run palette. So nice.
ive had a go at repressing an eyeshadow from my Too Faced Chocolate Gold Palette today. Seems to have gone well and hopefully I’ll be able to finish it soon.

That Born to Run looks lovely; it's reduced on lookfantastic but I really don't need it! Or do I?! I haven't had much UD; I had a palette which had eyeshadows, blush/highlight, mascara and lipgloss in - Naked On The Run I think? Was sold as a travel palette but it was so bulky I depotted it into a magnetic palette. Do you have a preference between UD and Too Faced formula? I've never tried Too Faced but like the look of the Born This Way Natural Nudes palette

I like both formulas equally. I don’t know much about the new Too Faced palette. I know some of their “holiday “ palettes have had bad reviews as the formula apparently is not the same. No complaints with any of my UD ones at all. I like the colours in Born to Run as I don’t have ABH Modern Renaissance and these colours, I feel, are similar. I bought mine discounted too.

Hi, I have deleted my post. I shouldn't have quoted you in it in the first place, as you say you were replying to another comment. This is not the place for this discussion in any case so I shouldn't have got drawn in. Obviously I am stressed but that is no excuse and I shouldn't be letting it out online. I just want to say though that people in many of the essential professions don't seem to be able to win these days. It's like they're saints or devils and can't be anything in between when we're all just normal people trying to get by, whatever job we're in.
(Also I would contact my MP if he was in any way a decent human being. Alas, personal experience has shown me he is not.)
Anyway, I genuinely hope you're having a nice evening, and I'll only talk about the important things from now on - toiletries!

I don't think anyone meant to be rude to be fair so I'm sorry you took it that way, definitely wasn't my intention  and hope you are having a good evening too.

I ordered The Inkey List Retinol Serum, Medik8 C-Tetra Serum and The Ordinary High Strength Peptide from Look Fantastic today.  Cut open Clarins One-Step Cleanser 30ml so it should be gone soon.

Very interested to hear how you get on with The Inkey List Retinol Serum. I’ve been impressed by all the products I’ve used from that brand. 
Have really got into listening to podcasts while in lockdown and have recently found The Double Cleanse, a podcast about skincare.

UU Neutrogena T-Gel Shampoo, this was super intense, to be honest I would be unlikely to repurchase.
UU Lush Cookie Dough body scrub - I don't know if I would repurchase this either, it wasn't bad but it didn't blow me away. Bit like the cupcake facemask.

Another two UU today:

Soaper Duper Coconut Shower Gel. WBA. Really liked this and it lasted ages.
Aveda Hand Relief. WBA. Really good, have a couple others to use up but plan to replace.

Realised I posted this in last month's thread!

UU Tisserand Cucumber and Grapefruit natural deodorant

WNBA because the smell was a bit weird, but other than that it was a great rollerball deodorant, so would consider purchasing a different scent. Got another one in my stash I have had forever to time to use that up.

I have another eyeshadow out.  I tried My Little Beauty Eye Crayon yesterday, it is a dark bronzey brown which is lovely but too dark and red toned on me.  I have put this and lots of other things recently into a new makeup case I had and will be passing it all on to a friend and her daughter soon, they can see what they fancy keeping from it then.
