No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2021

VALM

I'm here though I've decided that I'm having a month off to use whatever I like for fun.  I do have 3 UUs:-

The Inkey List Caffeine eye cream.  Have replaced with the last one from my stash.

The Inkey List Niacinamide serum.  Just ordered a replacement from Boots.

LUSH The Comforter bubble bar.

I have hit pan in another eyeshadow : On Camera from the Morphe X Jacqueline Hill Ring the Alarm palette.  Also hit pan this morning in my Bare Minerals pressed Mineral Veil.  I've just tried to reorder it from QVC but they don't have my shade in stock.  I don't think it's been very well received so maybe they won't restock it.  Bit miffed that I only bought this on 10 October 2021 and already have pan. 

Am enjoying opening my M&S and OPI Advent Calendars every day.

Hi All

A couple of UUs for me. 

Casmara Rejuvenating serum, I cut this tube open days ago but finally used the last of it yesterday, it did seem to have a goo effect on my skin but I have far more creams and potions to use up to justify re purchasing. 

Rainbow Drops all in one hair colour, shampoo and mask, you're supposed to use the same sort of quantity as you would normal shampoo, but that had no effect so I used the whole bottle on my long blonde hair and left it on for an extra 5 minutes and have a very subtle lilac tint, wouldn't buy that again.

I've had some nice bits an bobs in my Body Shop advent Calendar so far, all of which I will probably use myself.

I have GA a natural deodorant from Salt of the Earth on Olio. I never used this as it had a melony smell that I didn't like.

I think I have this, the scent is Melon and Cucumber, I really like that type of scent.

I have some ins

Yorkshire Soap Co Solid Conditioner Bar - I have a solid bar conditioner from another brand but wanted to just go into a shop, pay and bring my purchase home, I am so over online shopping.  I also got the little tin to use with my solid shampoo/conditioner bars.

Body Shop Cammomile Cleansing Balm - I just got the mini tin and used my rewards to pay for it, I've wanted to try this for a while now but will wait until I've finished what I have open.

Somerset Toiletry Co Verbena Hand Cream 30ml - these are really nice hand creams in a little metal tube, a lot like the L'Occitane ones.

I'm with you re online  shopping.  Have had a kerfuffle with Boots this week.  Not happy that you now have to pay for delivery to store as well as home however found something else to order as a gift to take over the threshold.  When, after a few days, I had only had the usual confirmation I called into the Boots local to work to be told that the two items were coming as two parcels and whlst they had one there I would have to await the arrival of the second one to collect both or the system would think I had had both and cancel the order completely.  They also said that items are now reqeusted from various stores to be sent to the warehouse and back out.  How can this be seen as efficient during the busiest time of year?  On top of that, I decided to order something else whilst instore and was told that if you do this you don't get charged a delivery fee.  So again, it's hardly efficient if people can call into store to order and save the postage.  Madness.

I have just re-stocked on the cleansing balm (Black Friday).  Lovely product.

Another UU : Jeffrey Starr Christmas Cookie lip lacquer.  Had a love/hate relationship with the colour.  The formula became sticky towards the end too.  Probably WNBA.  There are other formulas that I like more.

I have hit pan in another eyeshadow from my Smashbox Full Exposure palette.  I've decided that next year I want to try and finish this palette (7 shadows remains), my Lorac Pro Matte (4 remain) and the Too Faced Natural Eyes palette (5 remain).  If a particular shadow doesn't work for me I'll move on but hopeful of getting a lot of these done.
