No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2020

Two more UU:

Ren Evercalm Cleanser. WBA. Am already onto next one.
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser. WNBA. Wasn't all that wowed by this.

I have received a sample of The Ritual of Sakura - Magic Touch Body Cream via SoPost.
I love Rituals products and this cheered me up a bit as everything feels a little subdued at the moment.
They also sent a %15 discount code.

These are my IN items so far this month:-

30ml The Ordinary Lactic Acid

30ml The Ordinary 2% Granactive Retinoid Emulsion

110 ml Pantene Texturising  Sugar Hair Spray

I have bought some Darphin Redness Relief Serum from an e-bayer, this was a HG for me when the dermatitis on my face was so bad, I hope to alternate it with Zelens Power D which is amazing for me, but very expensive even when discounted.

I know what you mean, I am totally fed up, I alternate between fury, frustration and tears over my children's future.

Hi everyone, 
I'm new on the forum (after a few years off) so thought i'd come and say hello.
I used to follow this thread a few years back (on a different username) and there's still some names on here that I recognise which is amazing!  
I'm still a sucker for beauty products, particularly skincare so definitely have some bits and bobs to use up, but not as many as when i followed before, so perhaps some progress?! haha 
I was wondering while I was here if anyone could recommend to me a concealer that is their HG product? I don't really need it for blemishes, more for non-cakey under-eye coverage and possibly a little for the redness on my cheeks under foundation as it tends to burn through. Any recommendations gratefully received!

Thanks for the new thread.  PP List

The Inkey List Caffeine eye cream. Status is the same. Will be carried over.
The Ordinary Rose Hip oil - at least 2/3rds left. Will be carried over 
Nivea Deodorant- probably 1/4 left. Will be carried over.
Elemis Apricot Toner - about half left. Will be carried over.

Benefit Goofproof pencil - this feels like it won't wind up much further

MAC Prep & Prime Radiance Primer

ELF 16hr Camo Concealer

Cerave moisturiser (20g)

Superdrug nail polish remover

Elemis Lime Blossom Cleanser

Updated list

Eyecream tube is cut open
Deodarant DONE. HG. Replaced.
The moisturiser is feeling light so will probably be next and I’m getting less concealer on my wand so the stopper will be removed soon.

Also UU Liz Earle C&P. Replaced with Superdrug version and a sample tube from my last Birchbox. I think it’s called The Real Chemistry. Tried it last night and it was lovely. Started off foamy and then became creamy.

Welcome back x. I love the elf 16hour Camo Concealer. Only £5. A tube does last me about 3 months I’d say with daily use. Loads of shade choice. I wear Tan Walnut.

Hi maddiemay. I can’t rate The Inkey List enough. Very low prices.

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’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 

We stay in Playa Blanca too. We are now booked for May 2021.

Thanks VALM...when we can test make-up on skin again in the shops i'll give that a go! 
My PP List for July going into early August:
Avon Anew cleansing balm 
Sukin sensitive facial moisturiser
Sukin hydration elixir
Decleor Aromessence Neroli facial oil
Lacura caviar night cream 
All quite low, although 3 of these are HG products so will very likely buy again soon, but perhaps after i've used up a few others bits first.
