No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July

Clutterbug07

UU

• Elf Matte Magic Mist & Set:  Well that didn't last long- I only bought this a month ago! It's only 60ml and £5 so not the end of the world, but it was a bit surprising I got through it so quickly, though had been using it as both a primer before makeup and a spray after, so it was on double duty

@Clutterbug07 I get paid on the 24th of each month so if it falls on a weekend then we get paid on the Friday.  Just means some months are looonngg and others are quite short.  

Another couple of UU's to report

- H2O Sea Salt Body Lotion: Love this stuff as it makes my skin feel amazingly smooth but it's ridiculously expensive for what it is.  So I just stick to picking up the "freebies" when I stay in Disney hotels 😆
- Missha Lemon Sheet Mask: another one bites the dust.  
- Apothaka Cleansing Oil sample: this is ok, does the job.  Think I prefer a balm so won't actually purchase.

UU

• Sanex Zero Shower Gel (dry skin): will check my stash to see if there is any in there, and if not will buy replacement.
• The Body Shop- Black Musk Eau de Toilette (30ml): My small version is all gone.  It's a nice everyday perfume.  When I get paid, I'll replace this.
  
• Lily Lolo Colour Corrector- Blush Away:  Green colour corrector powder.  I'm so sad this is gone, I was enjoying using this again on leftover dark marks, or any blemishes under my foundation- meant I had to use WAY less face makeup!  I have a yellow version (Peepo) which might work on dark marks also, so I'll give that a go first.  If not, will repurchase either this, or try the NYX green colour corrector, though I like the preciseness of this powder as I hardly have to use any for it to work.

Uus:

Noughty detox shampoo - WNBA, need loads to lather and wash hair properly.

Aloe Vera gel - WMBA, nice to use on hot weather.

Dr Sante anti breakage conditioner - WNBA, ok but not amazing.

Sleek foundation - Had for ages, wnba, as better products. Will also try to  use more up make up for office days. 

Al rehab Africana perfume oil - WBA, when stash decreases. 

Ins:

3 x Crest whitening strips

Months end for me, so here's my summary for July:

• IN: 11 (£73.15 - 4 replacements, 7 unnecessary/not-replacements.... though 3 of those unnecessary were Barry M Nail polish so it wasn't like I went super crazy)
• Out: 25 (22 x UU, 3 x throw away. Of the UUs, 19 were full size, 3 were samples)
• Balance:  14

 Well that was a better month I think!

I had been planning a little K-Beauty haul in August, but am not sure if I will this month.  Face Theory currently have 50% off for new customers (though they are out of their azelaic acid serum- boo!) and my MAS super serum (azelaic acid, vit C derivative, panthenol, urea, peptides) is about to run out so will need replacing and I might try their lip conditioner too as my lips have been super dry recently.  Seems a bit extravagant to then do a K-beauty haul, even though I set some money aside. hmmmm.

We'll see.  It wouldn't be very 'No-buy August' would it!

I've just returned from a trip to Cornwall, I didn't buy anything whilst there even though there are lots of lovely 'made in Cornwall' body products about, I did bring home 3 mini bars of Suddy Nora soap from the cottage we were staying in.  I didn't have any uu's whilst I was there either.

Last few UU for July:

- Lush Jason and the Argan Oil shampoo bar: my hair loves this and I love using a solid shampoo.  Replaced with a Honey I Washed the hair one and it's a bit too rich for my hair, still going to use it up but know for next time to just stick with the Jason one
- Sensodyne Deep Repair toothpaste: love this and replaced with another one.
- Clarins Blue Orchid Oil sample: found this in my travel toiletry bag when I went away for the weekend and used it up.  Bit too rich for my skin but did the job.  Back to my Kiehl's Midnight Recovery
- Missha Lemon Sheet Mask: still have loads of these to work through
- TBS Pear Bath Blend: picked this up in the sale earlier in the year to get free shipping.  Was ok, smelt more like banana than pear.  Have replaced with a cheap Imperial Leather one
- Patchology Posh Peel Foot Mask: this is one of those acid peeling foot masks that starts working after a week and all the skin peels off your feet.  I'm going on holiday at the end of the month so thought I'd better get cracking with this now so my feet are in tip top condition.  Picked it up in the Space NK sale a couple of months ago and it came with one of their moisturising masks too for £10 when the kit retailed for £30 originally!  Time will tell if it actually works!

And totals for July:

UU = 30 items at £138.83
IN's = 17 items at £152.87

Quite happy with that as the IN's were mostly all holiday related and will wither be used up while we're away or will continue with when we get back.
