No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2020

London_baby

Unfortunately stash has grown due to increased free delivery prices, ins are:
4 x Ecodenta toothpastes
1 x Lacura hydrating sun spray
2 x Lacura natural vegan day cream

UUs: 
Schwarzkopf live luminous brown hair dye: WMBA, best hair dye I've used in terms of leaving hair moisturised and non-drip formula. However, grey coverage is only 75% and I think you need two boxes if you have thick hair.

Lidl Cien Q10 hand cream: WBA, only 59p and moisturises hands despite the thin consistency of the cream.

Superdrug cotton wool pads

Oral b satin tape floss

I'm having a very slow month, we are doing lots of renovation work on our house so everyday I just put decorating clothes on and a bit of mascara, hair has had no tlc for about a month now.  We are having a bit of a breather before the next project so I will be using my makeup again at least.

4 ins to report, 2 HG,s bought for stocks due to 15 per cent discount code Laura Mercier Translucent powder, Pixi glow tonic, Cerave Cleanser been wanting to try this for ages and the order came with a free sheet mask.  Was going to go to Home Bargains and would have spent the £ on a load of stuff but didn’t so that’s my justification lol

A bit more progress for July, why is the month going so fast

Elemis Frangipani Shower Cream 3/39. Like, but WNBA

30ml Shower Gel (left over from a hotel visit, brought home to finish) 4/40

Decent size sample Lancome Foundation. WNB prefer my Clinique one. 5/41

Sample sachets skincare 7 used Vichy & P & Mortar Eye, Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior Serum, Exfolikate exfoliator, 2 x Exfolikate Moisturiser, 1 Neals Yard Rose Balm. WNBA, except perhaps the Pestle & Mortar eye cream, really need another sample, not sure if it was the cream of hay-fever which made my eyes run.

A few INs from yesterday:

Maui Moisture Agave Shampoo 385ml
Maui Moisture Agave Conditioner 385ml
Farmologie Unfragranced Moisturiser 100ml 

The Farmologie Moisturiser is made by Child's Farm and it sounds nice to have around for when my skin is irritated. Shampoo & Conditioner are essentials. 

And one UU from this morning:

La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml - WDBA and have done. My HG moisturiser.

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.

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

After having a really difficult year in 2019 (work, divorce, mental health struggle, money worries), I was looking forward to this year. I'm glad I'm healthy and well but still having another year written off from my life gets to me..Twirly_035 said:

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! 

Welcome back. I'm using and loving No7 HydraLuminous Dark Circle Concealer, along with the matching foundation. It has mixed reviews but works well for my skin. I have a combination skin that tends to be on the drier side. 
I also liked Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. For the price of £4.19, it is a great buy.
I have Benefit Bo-ing Industrial Strength Concealer on the go and really don't like it..Too oily and creases  a lot.
I have GA a perfume and two hair products today.
Received a body scrub as a birthday gift.

Two outs used up, Foreo cleanser, WNBA was just ok but £9 for a tiny tube. E Cooking Serum 10ml, quite likely this wasn’t expecting it to finish today for some reason I had been taking the label mark as the level mark, def need my eyes testing.....

I've also got the Benefit Boing, it's the hydrating concealer stick but really don't rate it, creases under the eyes and the coverage is not the best which considering the price is not ideal! 
I'm writing all your concealer suggestions down so I can give them a try, thankyou
Hate spending lots of money on a product and then it really doesn't match up - we've all been there!  
I was looking for some bamboo / reusable cotton wool pads so I could cut down on my usage, as I do use them quite a bit for cleansing with micellar water or taking eye make-up off. On Amazon struggled to get a set for less than a tenner, braved my local Primark last week and they had a set of 10 pads for £2! I was a bit dubious but they're really nice , feel soft on the skin, don't soak up too much product and they wash well. They also come with a little bag to wash them in, although i've been using a mesh zip bag that i normally put my bras in when they go in the washing machine.

Another UU:  John Frieda Frizz Ease Smooth Conditioner.  New HG.  More in stash as nearly always on 3 for 2.

Etsy is a good place for re-usables too. 
Yes, I know what you mean, spending a lot of money on something only to use it once!
