No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2020

lantanna

We don’t have Aldi in Northern Ireland but I’d like to try the Lacura Pixi glow tonic dupe

I tossed out a hair treatment it was kind of terrible and seemed to really stick in the bottle.  

Threw away eye shadow in Calvin Klein in brown. I never got around to using as the colour looked too dark and red based.

Three UU to kick off July:

Beauty Pie Retinol Serum. WNBA. I've cancelled my membership as I don't really like the way it is set up.
Beauty Pie Retinol Night Cream. WNBA. As above but hated the smell of this.
Aveda Cherry Almond Shampoo. WBA. Already on to my next bottle.

What was wrong with your membership? You mean the whole idea or something specific to your account? Just being curious!

One UU from last night:

The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml - WDBA and have done. Love this stuff, so gentle and effective  

I don't think I have found a better cleanser to use for make up removal.  We seem to go through a pot so quickly though.  Still using Elemis Cleansing Balm before I return to using this one. 

I find myself going back to this regularly, definitely great product.

I found that I either didn't have enough credit to buy everything I wanted or I had credit but didn't need anything. So I just felt it's not a good way for me to buy my products. Much of the stuff I tried was good but I don't want to pay monthly in the long term. 

This is what I find offputting about Beauty Pie, the monthly layout when I know I will want to shop around for products.  I don't like buying just from one brand. 

I have just ordered the SkinSense TSV from QVC because I have the overnight mask already and it is wonderful (previously, I wondered what they did but my skin feels so supple and smooth in the morning after applying this) and I want to try both the retinol eye cream and serum. 

These goodies arrived yesterday.  Can't wait to try them.  The first will probably be the day cream which I'll use as night cream at first as I still love Elemis PCMC.

Changed my mind on the LF, I do get some good gems in it and I think it stops me spending as it satisfies an urge every month. I’ve booked a week in Lanz in feb so the travel sizes will come in handy again. 

I feel that way about sub boxes and may try another one.  I only kept the Birchbox going for the three month period.  I was meant to go to Lanzarote in April.  Can't wait to be able to book again.  Which area are you staying in?

I have removed the stopper from a different lipgloss.  MAC Tinsel Teaser.  It's the last of the set of 4 (Pretty Little Things) that Emma bought me for Christmas. 

I have just finished this.  I've decided that I am going to throw away all the ABH lipglosses that I have left (3) as I don't like the glittery chunky bits.

Finish 7 by Autumn and will include:-

NARS Gilda - I want this totally panned.

ABH lipgloss in Sunset Strip - am scraping the sides

Smashbox matte eyeshadow - again, I want this totally panned - have attempted to repress this but it's just loose now. 

Bare Minerals Queen Tiffany loose eyeshadow - to use as much as I can.

Liz Earle No 9 Botanical Essence fragrance - DONE

Laura Geller Gilded Honey Highlighter - I want this totally panned

Bare Minerals Love lipstick - it won't get finished but want to try and use it as much as I can.

Liz Earle perfume done.  I have a back up bottle of this.  Am going to rotate in a 10ml bottle of Kat vonD Saint perfume which is half finished as it is so early in this challenge.

Not doing well with this Project at all.  Have not used Gilda much because it is vexing (!) me that I haven't hit pan in the Outlaw colour in this palette.  Have just thrown away the lipgloss.  I'll choose another to replace this.  The eyeshadow is now loose as I attempted to repress it and failed.  I can't stand the Bare Minerals eyeshadow and am throwing that away.  Will replace it with Colourpop Super Shock shadow in Birthday Cake as I need to work on this more. Do have pan in it already.  Have used the highlighter consistently but not the lipstick either.  Must try harder.

VALM

So, I am replacing the ABH lipgloss with a Kat von D one called Lovecraft. 

I have also UU a fragrance sample of Emporio Armani In Love With You.  Nice, Reminded me of Burberry, My Burberry.

I’m staying in Playa Blanca, I go on my own so prefer it for solo travel. I like Puerto del Carmen when going with others. Costa Teguise, I’ve only been once but found it very windy

Two UUs from yesterday:

Soaper Duper Shea Deluxe Shea Hand Cream 75ml - WDBA but may try a different scent next time. This has been my hand cream in my bag for work, it's got a lot of use over the past number of weeks. Very nourishing. 

Superdrug Whitening Floss Tape 40m - WPBA but I much prefer the Oral B Satin Tape. But this is good and effective too
