No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2021

I have an in as part of my 'stopping online shopping unless unavoidable'

Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm 60g - I've been using this for about 18 months now and love it, there is a really nice zero waste shop in Otley and I popped in yesterday for tea, I knew they stocked this and this way I get to support their lovely little shop and the brand but don't have to have it delivered to my door which is the most damaging bit in the whole chain.

We also went to Ilkley and there is a gorgeous shop called The Bath House where we got DH a cologne, we bought Spanish Fig & Nutmeg, he's had it before and it is beyond gorgeous, they are all made in Cumbria, low waste, vegan, ethical etc, they have a few shops in the Lakes and a couple of others dotted about and they are online too.

Hi all. Mad month!

I GA 2 products, 1 Murad Cleanser 1 Clinique Crayon Lipstick to a friend today.

Also UU'ed Beauty Pie Facelift Serum. Nice product but I haven't used this regularly so not seen much of an impact.
WMBA one day.

I also bought a kit from Caroline Hirons, using one of her daily deals. Kit includes 8 products and the offer was to receive 1 full-size product as a gift but I got 2 instead. Not sure if it was an error or I misremember the offer. Will have to go and check.

Sold 4 Sleek eyeshadow palettes today and will be posting them tomorrow.

a tiny pan of Stila eyeshadow from a palette, it was a matte pink/dark brown colour which I really liked.

December PP List

Philosophy Spiced Gingerbread Shower Gel 480ml

Rituals Sweet Orange & Cedarwood Body Cream 250ml

My 7 by Christmas list

1.  Revolution Foundation Stick - b/f from last challenge

2. Soap & Glory dark brown eyeshadow from a quad

3. Stila Eyeshadow in a dark matt pink/brown (this is a tiny pan taken from a palette) - b/f from last challenge

4. Brillo lipgloss in a pale coral colour - keep this in the car to use

5. Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara mini - b/f from last challenge

6. Model Co Cream Blush - would like to hit pan on this - hit pan in November

7. Smiths Rosebud Salve - b/f from last challenge

My updated lists.  The two PP items will be done this month.  The 7 by Christmas list isn't going to change now so I will end the challenge here, the S&G eyeshadow has major pan but I only use it for my brows so I reckon it will last most of next year, the Brillo lipgloss looks exactly the same as when I started and the mascara is still going strong and I like it so will just carry on with it till it dries out.

I will get my list ready for makeup I want to finish next year and post that soon, I think doing this will work better for me as some items take a year to finish.

Rituals Touch of Happiness Sweet Orange and Cedarwood Body Cream - gorgeous scent.

I had a couple of INS yesterday

ELF Hydrating Camo Concealer.  I can see a lot of window in mine now.  The colour hasn't been right this time though.  It's a little too dark although it does blend in well so I've gone for the next shade down.

Inglot Duraline.  I've heard You Tubers talk about this.  One of my Colourpop Supershock Shadows has started to dry out and I was adding facial oil to it to revive it but feel this is a waste of facial oil so got this with my Advantage Points.  I have tried it this morning and it is amazing.  The colour of the shadow (Sequin) is a lot more vibrant.

Have hit pan in another eyeshadow:  Riff Raff from the MAC Princess Jasmine palette I have been panning all year.  Still have four shadows left (including this one).  Really want that Too Faced Push Up shadow done by the end of the year though.

2 UUS today and probably last for the year

The Inkey List Niacinamide. Repurchased recently.

Too Faced Push Up eyeshadow. Again, this performed better prior to depotting. That makes 28 make up and fragrance items panned in 2021. Just reviewed the list and a lot of items I have repurchased. Thinking of buying Bare Minerals Heart eyeshadow from EBay.

so here we are, Merry Christmas to you all. Xxx

Merry Christmas to you all. Hope you are having a good day!

I have UU'ed Zelens Vitamin D drops finally. This was an HG. Got it from one of the Caroline Hirons boxes a while back.
Didn't do wonders for my skin but I didn't use it regularly so maybe that's why.

Happy Christmas everyone.  Hope you are all enjoying the day.
