No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - May

savingfortomorrow

valm - the cerave is lovely on the face. It absorbs well and does not roll off with make up. It is really nice. I really like the lotion in cerave before make up, it is a good option too. 
I didnt use the remainder of the tester on my face as i had it in my pocket and put it through the wash and spin cycle. I kept it post wash for my hands in case anything got into the cream.

I used up another tester of citaplast balm and it seems to be helping my hands. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I have a large tube of balm to work through eventually. 
I have a lot of sputtlers and will have a good amount to use up soon.  

this month I want to use up
1. balm to oil cleanser from primark
2. current bottle of foundation
3. clarins hydraquench moisture mask
4.  Moo goo evening primrose oil
5. Estee lauder primer

Thanks dolly84 for the new thread  

My PP list for May is:

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume 15ml
Soltan Protect & Moisturise Lotion SPF50+ 200ml
SVR Sebiaclear SPF50 Creme 50ml

And I've got one UU already:

Oral B Satin Tape 25m - WDBA and have done. Cheap and effective.

UU
TBS British Rose Shower Gel.  60 mls.  I was expecting more scent.  Bit disappointed in reality.
I'm sticking to my no buy of eyeshadow or blush.  Definitely got too much.  I'm trying to use up small sizes and then a large.  Foil packets are fair game.  I need my space back.

Hope everyone is well and safe.

Just did a big cult beauty order, so have 10 ins to report. I had a 15 per cent off code for my birthday and also 5 per cent Halifax cash back. 

My birthday present to myself for later in the month. 

Got a Foreo Luna been eyeing them up for a while. But as it is an electronic item I’m not counting it. 

The ten items are
Opalex shampoo, conditioner and treatment - hair is currently in a terrible state so dry. 

Foreo cleanser to try with the Foreo. 

Caudalie Beauty Elixir - I use face mists in work and coming to the end of current stash
Lanolips green apple, Rosehip Oil, Tan luxe face drops, Too faced sweet peach palette, pixi glow tonic about to finish one of these.

2 UUs:
L'oreal preference Brasilia dark brown hair dye: Decided to start dying my hair again as the greys are making me look scruffy. Decided to use this hair colour as it has been sitting in my cupboard as I have been trying to go auburn with mixed results. WMBA, had great  grey coverage but I don't know if the formula has changed as it seems very runny and has a strong ammonia scent.  

Home made rosewater/ glycerin mix - have mixed another two bottles.

Happy Birthday. Some nice items there. I had the Too Faced palette. I really miss the colours but did not get on with the fragrance. My daughter has it now.

my Birchbox came yesterday. It contained one of those Foreo type cleanser pads (non electronic). I’ve given it to my daughter because I’m guessing that it only works with foaming cleansers and they dry ny skin out. I’ve kept the cleanser that was in the kit for now. Also got Dome Beauty English Rose blush (lovely) tinted lip balm and sheet mask. Have stashed the lip balm for now and gave sheet mask to daughter.

Not sure if I mentioned that I also got a new Bare Minerals highlighter called Joy. It is gorgeous and pairs well with the new blush.

I finished the balm to oil cleanser from primark. Great stuff.
Gone is the neutrogenia cleanser- I was surprised it finished, I thought it would last forever as it seemed to be endless.

I can see space freeing up with things finishing. 
I have enough shampoo and conditioner to last a long time. i am ok for bosy scrubs and moisturizer for face and body for a year. i have s much foundation that im good for a long time. I have at least two unopened mascaras and loads of lipsicks. 

I want to focus on saving the money for a more of a slush fund over the next few months.

Happy birthday lantanna.

Ages ago I depotted some shadows from palettes I didn't really use and put them in a magnetic palette.  Yesterday I got rid of two single shadows, both were a gorgeous dark shimmery pewter colour which looked lovely swatched but wasn't right on the eyes for me, just too dark.

Thanks dolly and valm.  Your daughter must love when you pass things along Valm. 

I used to get Birchbox but stopped it while back. I still get Look fantastic.  They are a nice little treat every month and expose you to brands and products you may not normally come across or try. Jealous of the metal tin this month in Birchbox!
