No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries May 2022

UU

• I'm From- Rice Cream: been using this as a night cream- enjoyed this, it felt nice and rich on the skin.  The tub was quite small though (£16.91 for 50g), so will try and find something a bit more economical next time.

Well, I have a moisturiser in the stash already I was gonna use for night cream, so I'm all good- no research needed right now.

UU

• Boots Glycerin and Rosewater: found in my stash, mostly finished, so used it up in my face spray.  Won't buy again, the rose smell is too strong. Sadly think there is a full unopened bottle in my cupboard.... 
• MAC Fix+- Matte priming spray: WNBA, haven't ever liked this one. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but very splurty bottle and at first the powder in it (or whatever it was) left little bits on my face- though I may not have been shaking it well enough.  Either way, overpriced, won't buy again
• L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Freshwear Foundation- Ivory Rose: love this, WDBA!  Sadly I still have some of my Casper the friendly ghost Urban Decay to use up first.  Booooooooooooo! 
• Garnier Moisture Bomb Sheet Mask- Super Hydrating and Replumping: nice sheet mask, skin felt less dried out from the sun yday after this, WBA.
• Sample sachet- Village Factory- Waterproof Cica Sun Lotion SPF50 PA++++: was ok, didn't burn. Used on my arms.

Back from my trip to Lanzarote too. As predicted, I have perfume purchases

Paco Rabanne Olympia Legend- a bit more spicy smelling than the original 
Escada Cherry in Japan (was given a sample of this to try which I UU).
Valentino Born To Run Yellow Dream.

All bought from a shop called Sasha. They reduced all the prices for me too.

Also bought a bottle of MAC Radiance Pink primer at Manchester Airport.

I have a uu

The Maldon Soap Co Curl Cream 50g - WNBA.  This smells gorgeous, is from a small producer in plastic free packaging, natural ingredients and it works nicely so it ticks lots of boxes for me but it is £12.50 which is just too expensive.

UU- last of the month!

• Maybelline Falsies mascara- Black: Bought this when I was away at Christmas and forgot to take my mascara.  Was ok, good in a pinch.  Much prefer my Lash Paradise.  As we're almost at June, it's time to bin it!
• Sample sachet- L'Oreal Hydra Genius Aloe Water: This was nice actually.  I used it on my arms to sooth after all the sun on Friday and it left my skin very soft.  I might consider buying this.
  

Month tallies

• IN: 7 (£67.16 - 1 more product in, but less money than last month, yay!)
• Out: 25 (1 x GA, 2 x TA, 22 x UU.  Of the UUs, 14 full size, 8 samples)
• Balance:  18 items gone!

Also, forgot to mention an Aloe Vera kit that I picked up on Lanzarote as I got sun burnt.  Contains shower gel (which is lovely), soap, body lotion (again, lovely) and handcream.  I only wanted the shower gel but the kit didn't cost much more.

Updated PP List and more UUs:-

Skinsense Eye Concentrate (carried over)
Perfance face mask (carried over)
Bath & Body Works Pink Chiffon Body cream
 Orly base coat

Seche Vite top coat

L'occitane hand lotion.  This was too thin for hand cream and wasn't much better used on my body.  WNBA. 

I'm holding out hope that the eye concentrate will be finished later but if not this and the other items will be carried over.

Have put the June thread up

Loadsa ins this month because of travel minis and gifts from relatives abroad:

Nivea spray deodorant
2 x 500 ml Superdrug Salicylic Acid body wash
Bogof Superdrug sensitive whitening
Crabtree and Evelyn body lotion
2 x Vaseline tubs

UU:
Dentyl travel mouthwash - WMBA

Must do better for the last half of the year.

I had a few more UUs but not the eye concentrate:-

OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender nail polish (full size).  WNBA.  This came in a kit so I did not choose the shade anyway.  It was ok but not stunning.  I have a Project Polish challenge going on this year and have now rotated in another light pink to replace this which is OPI Callin Me a Lyre.

LUSH Puppy Love bubble bar.  Would probably buy again.

Bath & Body Works handwash x 2 - Lake Side Life and Coconut Snowball.  I do like these but the fragrances, no matter what fancy name they give them, are generic.  Have 3 in stash.  Will repurchase when down to one.

My totals for May are:-

OUTS:-

Bodycare: 7

Make up 4

Skincare 2

Haircare 1

Nail polish 1

11 items IN.  

The OUTS outweighed the INs just about but I knew I would buy products in Lanzarote.
