No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2022

UUs

• Nivea Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover: HG. Got my replacement
• Elf Matte Magic Mist & Set: This literally lasted one month, so not repurchasing! Trying one from Revolution which is a bit larger
  
• Sample sachet- Make Prem- Safe me. Relief moisture Cream 12: One of my many samples, nice enough.
  
• The Body Shop- Strawberry Shower Gel (250ml): Think this was a gift from my Mum- she loves to get me a set for either Christmas or birthday gift.  Nice and fruity!
• Tigi Bed Head- Fully Loaded Volumizing Conditioning jelly: HUGE 750ml bottle, been working on this for ages.  Fruity smell. Slightly weird texture- it vanishes into your hair, it's bizarre- I guess that’s why it is called a jelly and not just regular conditioner.  Don’t think it particularly volumised, won't buy again I don't think.  I like the Tigi shampoos- the one for coloured hair smells divine (burnt caramel gorgeousness), would probs purchase one of their others in future. For now, switching to my Pantene Grow Strong Conditioner With Bamboo And Biotin- am in need of some hair repair
  
• Travel bottle- Sanex Zero showergel: Decanted to travel bottle at some point for a trip- decided to use it up.
  
• Sample sachet- Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream: Very thick, actually used it on my legs as it's loaded with lavender oil, citrus oil, Eucalyptus oil, lemon oil.  Didn't smell too strong, but was concerned to put it on my face.  Was nice on my legs
  
• Sample Sachet- Frudia Citrus Brightening Cream: Used on my other leg
  
• Olaplex- Hair Perfector No. 3 (repairs & strenghtens): Hairs been both dry and brittle so started using this again once a week overnight to try and help.  Now used up, but had another in the stash, so will continue with this
  

Throw away

• Boots- Repel- Light Fragrance: Ancient bug spray, no idea how old it is, binning it
• Boots- Repel- Holiday and Home Light Fragrance: another ancient bug spray, no idea how old it is, binning it
  
• Make Up Forever - Aqua Seal:  Meant to mix with eyeshadow to make it smudgeproof/waterproof etc, but I don't like it, it's rubbish. Is greasy and just makes my eyeshadows crease!  Had this for ages, so just giving up.
  

Gave Away

• Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint- Party Ring: Very pretty lilac colour, I got it not too long ago, but it just does not suit me.  Too pale for my already pale skin- looks a bit dead on me   Gave away to a friend (the friend who loves lilac nail polish and inspired me to try it) so it went to a good home.

INS

• Nivea Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover: replacement for the one that ran out.
• Simple Detox & Brighten Clay Mask: Been missing a clay mask in my routine since my other one ran out in Feb, so high time to get a new one. Giving this a go, fragrance free, cheapie cheap- alternative to the more expensive Isntree one I want to try, so figured try the cheap one first!
  
• No 7 HydraLuminous Lip Balm- Coral: I am v excited about this, it seems like a great dupe for my much loved MAC Glow Play lipbalm (bullet format, not tub/tin) in Floral Coral.  The MAC is £20 and the No 7 is £10- an absolute bargain!  My MAC is on it's last legs and I was v sad about this as I wasn't going to replace it, too extravagant for a balm-type product (originally bought for my wedding/honeymoon), but NOW, I have this!  
  
• Collection- Gloss Me Up lipgloss in Lychee: Replacement for my Nivea peach shine lipbalm/chapstick that I am scraping out past the plastic end bit!  Seems nice, pretty v light colour, a bit minty/tingly.
  
• Revolution- Hydrate & Fix Radiance Make Up Fixing Spray- 100ml: Replacement to try instead of the Elf. Similar ingredients but larger, and with added hydration so hoping it'll add a bit of plumping too.

I have this in Raspberry and in Caramel and love them, I want to try some others but the testers are never there in store!

Ooooh I just googled- pretty colours! Is the raspberry quite pinky?  Yeah they didn't have all the colours at my Boots either, think they had three.  When my other MAC lipbalm runs out (a cherry blossom one- I like to have a pink and a peach) I will check out raspberry I think!

No I wouldn't say it's that pink, more of a muted cherry colour

kadison - the Gruum bars are nice, my hair feels nice but I've had the shampoo, body wash bar and the facial bar and all of them have been used up in a flash and the facial bar sort of melted into a liquorice consistency in the heat.

UU

• The Ordinary- Matrixyl 10% + HA: Didn't love this peptide serum.  Not sure it agreed with my skin that much, and I mostly use it as a moisturising-plumping-type serum, but I have peptides in other products and there are other products I would prefer to use in this function/type, like a nice propolis serum
• Simple Micellar gel wash:  WNBA, it doesn't feel like it rinses off, never liked this one, but worth a shot as it's so cheap!
  
• 'Jackie's Hen Party 27.07.19' Shea Plus Luxury Lip Balms- Cranberry Orange:   Ordered these off Etsy for my sister-in-laws hen do (as you can see by the date, it was a while ago!), and I have a load left over to work my way through- all different flavours.  Have been using on lips of course, but then had the good idea to use it in place of vaseline for when I do my overnight hand treatments.  Will get through them quicker that way, which I probably should since they are old!!  Full of goodies, coconut oil, beeswax, shea, apricot kernal oil, Vitamin E.

Morning all.  Thanks for starting the new thread @pinkfluffybabe.

Have been away for a couple of weeks but my PP list from August now looks like this

TBS Avocado body butter
Foot Cream
4 sheet masks
1 body lotion
NYX Iced Mocha eye pencil
UD Smog eyeshadow
1 lip balm
1 hand cream
UD Primer Potion
1 deodorant

which I'm pretty pleased with.  Not going to put a proper list together for September but will instead focus on the remaining items from the August list.  Had quite a few UU's on holiday but too many to list here!
