No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2022

London_baby

UUs:

The Ordinary Marula oil - WNBA, can't fault it, but I need an heavier oil for my lizard dry skin.

J'adore scented body cream - WMBA

Perfume oil dupe of Baccarat rouge - WMBA, didn't last long enough on skin. Will treat myself to some al-rehab oils for my birthday next month.

Superdrug feminine wash - WBA, very gentle, better than leading brand and can double as a body wash.

Ogx vanilla chai conditioner - WNBA, not moisturising enough.

Will focus on using face serums and oils to try and clear some space on bedroom table.


Ins:

Pumpkin seed hair - For hair and face

Korres Basil Lemon Body Lotion - nice scent.  I think I have another in this scent in the stash.

VALM

Updated PP List

ABC Body lotion (actually on the last bottle of this so hopefully it will last the month)
Lacura Glycolic pads
L’Occitane hand lotion (on desk at work)
OK Face masks (try to use one every Sunday)
Rituals handcream (carried over)
Skinsense Day Cream
Skinsense Overnight Leave on mask (carried over- tube is very light).
Yorkshire Soap Company Happy Hebden Bare soap (carried over).

Avant Pink Orchid Serum UU. This made my skin feel so good in the mornings however I found the consistency too runny. It came in a Beauty goody bag and was in a 30ml tube. I'm partaking in a You Tube Project "Pan Our Way To 5K" so looked up the value of this. Holy Guacamole Batman it's £92! Lovely that it bumps up my money for the Project but I don't think I'd spend that kind of money. The packaging when bought (as opposed to being promotional) has a pump which would be better for application.

More UUs from the weekend:-

LUSH Vesuvius bubble bar.  Lovely.  WBA.

Apothecary Calm body wash from M&S Advent Calendar.  Nice enough.  WNBA.

Hawaiian Tropic body spray.  I kept this at work as room spray.  WNBA.

It's my birthday today and I'm pleased that I have not received many beauty items.  I got a bottle of Hotel Collection Pomegranate perfume and some bath essence.  Other than that I got a candle and reed diffuser in the same fragrance, an oil burner, a book and some wine.  MRM has bought me a new handbag and Emma is getting me a new purse.  I feel quite proud that I didn't ask for anything beauty related.

Thanks.  It was good despite not having any plans.  MRM is in the middle of installing our new kitchen and then working away.  We'll celebrate properly when the house is straight once again.  In any event, I got home last night and my daughter had left more goodies on my bed.  She gave me a book, bath bomb, bottel of wine and some choccies so I had a lovely soak in the bath with a glass of vino.

I ended up with more products than I started with in January due to my birthday. So this month I want to use more than I buy.
ins this month are:
2 x bath bombs by bomb (really cheap in Xmas sale)
Superfacialist  vitamin C cleansing oil
superfacialist purifying facial wash

UU’s so far:-
superfacialist vitamin C cleansing oil - got this in a beauty box and like it so much have already replaced
Dr Botanicals Dead Sea minerals exfoliator - impulse buy from TKMax nice but prob won’t buy again 
2x bath bombs

Total UU for Feb = 4

@VALM new kitchen will be great when it's done, though I imagine less fun whilst it is happening!  Lovely surprise from your daughter- sounds perfect!

@perfect10 Been thinking of trying the Superfacialist  vitamin C cleansing oil when I'm done with my balm/other oil cleansing products- does the Vit C tingle/irritate at all?

UU

• TBS British Rose Plumping face mask: WBA, is a bit different, a gel texture rather than clay so non-drying.  Smells divine.  Actually have one in my stash, although I did get one for my bday in Jan, so might actually have 2.... should check that.
• Batiste Travel Size dry shampoo- original:  wish they did travel size of the ones with the hint of colour, these are chalky white, but good for a weekend away (or when trying to use half finished items up!).  Would probs buy again as they're always handy to have in your arsenal for lazy days. 

IN

• Klairs Daily Skin Hydrating Water- HUGE 500ml bottle: green tea, calendula- soothing calming watery toner- for my spritz bottle once my Centella toner is done.  It's quite economical because it is massive bottle!
• DR. CEURACLE Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence: I just wanted this one. I have no reason to justify purchasing this!   It's meant to be amazing, hydrating and moisturising, but not greasy or too heavy.
  

I'm definitely not doing as well this month, quite a few ins.  These ones above I had a 15% discount code for, and the others were Boots points and "freebies" from selling some leggings, so don't think I have paid out too much, but my stash has definitely increased.  No more for the rest of the month unless it's deodorant or something!!!

VALM - Belated birthday wishes.

I have some ins

Martha Hill Honey Hydro Moisturiser x 2

Martha Hill Honey Treatment Cream x 2

My skin is becoming much drier these days and I need to change my skincare up a bit to help.  It hasn't helped that I've had/am still recovering from Covid and that has dried my skin out even more.

UU

• Tigi Bed Head Colour Goddess conditioner: WBA when colouring hair (not at present) as it smells like burnt sugar caramel and is delicious!  I *think* it helps keep the colour?
