No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in March 2022

• Milk Hydrogrip primer:  still a tiny bit left but it's a pump bottle and nothing is coming out now.  Annoyingly can't open it to get the last little bit, so it is now done.  I don't love this, but it did grow on me as I forced myself to use it actually, as it really does help your makeup stay quite well- probs more than a silicone based one.  

I believe Elf have some good dupes for this style of primer with their Power Grip primer so if I wanted something like this again, I'll go for that.  Actually am using their Elf Jelly Pop Dew primer which has a similar texture too.  

This one was on my project pan due to dislike, so here's an update on that:

Project pan list

• The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow-Protect Lotion SPF 30 - not far off, using on my body as I don't like it for my face
• The Body Shop Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask
• The Body Shop Drops of Youth Concentrate - using on my hands before moisturiser
• Garnier Micellar Milky Cleansing Water 400ml - 3/4 finished!
• The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm - just not as good as the Body Shop Camomile balm!!!
• Aveeno Calm and Restore Cleanser: 3/4 finished
• Haruharu WONDER - Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner- too fragranced, am using on my hands and body.
• Isntree Spotsaver Mugwort Ampoule- not sure if this works for my skin, might use on body
• The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG
• Simple Protect 'N' Glow Radiance Booster SPF30
• 1 x big Tresemme shampoo (my Mum had too many, so she gave me this. it's HUGE)
• MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ Matte 100ml 
• Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Liquid
• Milk Hydrogrip Primer 10ml
• 2 x UOMA Beauty Stay Woke Brightening Concealer- did my own makeup for my wedding, had to try A LOT of concealers to  find the right consistency and colour!
• 3 2 x e.l.f. Hydrating Satin Camo Concealer
• Lily Lolo mineral powder foundation
• Lily Lolo mineral concealer
• Lily Lolo mineral green colour corrector

• Sample sachet- Bumble and Bumble Bond Building Repair Shampoo
• Sample sachet- Bumble and Bumble Bond Building Repair: this felt lovely on application.

Hair did look nice yday when I used these. Would perhaps purchase the conditioner to use once a week like a hair mask, but unlikely as it's quite expensive.

• Sure MotionSense Invisible deodorant

INS

Quite embarrassed about these.  I have absolutely no excuse other than I went into Superdrug and was weak!!   Had a lot of ins this month, and I was tempted to pretend I bought these next month instead, but no, have to be honest with y'all, and with myself.  I don't think it's a terrible thing to treat yourself sometimes, and these items are absolutely lovely, I just bought a lot of products this month so am a little annoyed I didn't wait.

• MUA Blushed Matte Blush Powder in Atomic Tangerine: absolutely gorgeous colour- it's not for the faint-hearted as it is VERY pigmented.  It's not actually orange, like tangerine suggests, but it's a very dark coral. Tis beautiful and not like any colour of blush I have.
• MUA Shimmer Silk in Dazzle: like a creamy highlighter in a golden colour- it looks so pretty on the cheekbones, gives a lovely summery glow.
• Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Dancer: very bright orangey red- I've been wearing it smudged rather than full-force on the lips, and it's again very pretty.

I have an ins

TBS Cammomile Cleansing Butter - I used my £5 birthday reward so this was only £6, I don't need it just yet so will put it away but I wanted to take advantage of the £5 off.

2 x Nivea Body Lotion for very dry skin - these were from DD for Mother's Day, I did ask for some body lotion, I've given myself a strict budget for the rest of the year but at some point I would have been running out of body moisturiser so this seemed a sensible request.

• Lily Lolo Mineral Blush in Clementine: nice pinky peach shade, probably wouldn't buy this particular shade again as I prefer other colours in their blush to this.

Thought I’d google that colour and was surprised that Lily Lolo is still around. I’ve got a Bare Minerals loose blush on the go called Golden Gate which is similar to the Oh La La LL shade.

Used up:


Soap & Glory Melty Talented dry skin balm - WNBA It is actually a really good skin balm, leaves my limbs very soft, but I am over my Soap & Glory obsession.

I’m over the Soap & Glory obsession too though the Line Crush body scrub was so good.

I’ve just finished a bottle of this too and agree about the lack of fragrance.

Were the cosmetics on 3for2? That’s when I usually purchase in Superdrug. You have had a good run if UUs this month so maybe you felt you deserved a treat. Over time your mindset will change. At least the items were unique to you.

i was in Boots collecting a prescription this week and saw that the Clearance shelf was full of No7 makeup and I nearly caved.

Great saving on the Cleansing Butter.
