No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2022

Have another UU to report this morning:

KVD Beauty Lock-it mini setting powder: I've just realised that it's taken me 7 months to use up this tiny little powder.  That's because you literally only need the smallest bit.  One of the finest milled powder's I've used and managed to get the full size on sale a couple of months to ago to replace it with.  Rather than recycling the packaging by throwing it away, I've refilled the mini with some of the powder from the full size and thrown it in my travel bag instead 👍

A couple of UUs and a couple of INS

UU

• The Inkey List Peptide Moisturiser: A surprise finish, hadn't expected this as it still felt very heavy. Realised I could unscrew the weird pump lid and discovered its cos there is so much plastic!!!  Moisturiser is nothing special, and I didn't like the funny pump lid (which I think is a dupe style for a v fancy moisturiser?), WNBA
• Soltan Once Face Advanced 8 hour Protection- SPF 50: Love it, got my repurchase already.
  
• Sample Sachet- Pyunkang Yul- Calming Moisture Barrier Cream: Seemed nice, used it on my legs which have been v dry with the changing season.  Probs WNB
  
• Sample Sachet- Aromatica- Aloe Hi-Ffective cream: Ditto above
  

INS

• Elf Holy Hydration Eye Cream: Decided to give this a try in place of the COSRX snail one I wanted, as it's half the price.  If at the end of the tub I don't like it, I'll get the snail as its replacement. Got this so I can alternate with the retinol one.
• Sure Antiperspirant roll-on - Invisible Aqua: Replacement for my other that ran out (same deo)- it's nice and non-sticky
  
• Batiste Dry Shampoo- Brunette - 200ml: Replacement dry shampoo with brown colour- This ones great, replacement for my other brown one which ran out and I didn't like (the Boots version)

UU

• John Frida- Frizz Ease Original - 5ml:  Had this TINY 5ml travel version about a hundred years, thought it was finally time to finish it as it has been mostly done for a long time.  Been putting a bit on my wet hair before it air dries.  Nice enough. Think I have a 3/4 finished full size, so will continue to use that.

I bought some soaps from Marseilles.

UU:  Drumroll please - Laura Geller Colour Brilliance Lipstick in colour Kiss.  I have owned this forever.  Got it years ago in a kit from QVC before the brand was bought out.  It never changed in consistency but because itw as part of a generic kit the colour was chosen to suit everyone and was a so so bland pink. I have been using it as cream blush also to finish it.  Anyway it's gone and it is product no 22 in my Finish 22 in 2022 Project.  I thank you.

A lippie uu, well done you.  I've been complaining for ages about not being able to wear lipstick at work because we were in masks about a thousand years after everyone else, at the moment we don't have to wear them and I'm still not wearing lipstick - there is just no pleasing some people.

I put lipstick on when I get ready in the morning and never reapply through the day so I basically just wear lipstick for the drive in to work.  Alone.  

 This did make me laugh! 

Well done @VALM - actually finishing a lippie is v impressive!!!  I was checking through my lippies yday actually, and even one I use all the time isn't even remotely half done!

Not as impressive as finishing a lippie, but two serums finished this morning so am quite pleased with that!

• Mad About Skin- Got You Covered Super Serum:  Love this, got my replacement already!
• SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Asiatica 100 Ampoule: Meant to be calming and soothing, but don't know how much it really did tbh. Quite watery serum.  Probably won't buy again.  Currently have another serum that includes centella, so will use that up and then purchase a new centella serum as I do like to have some soothing steps in my routine.
  

INS

• Mad About Skin- Got You Covered Super Serum
• Mad About Skin Gentle Jelly Cleanser: This will replace my current cleanser….. Though I shouldn’t have bought it yet, as my current one's not remotely done!  Unless it's one where the packaging is v heavy and makes it seem like there is a lot of product left..... you never know, it happened with my Inkey list moisturiser!
• Essie nail polish- Licorice:  realised I was out of black nail polish and I'm all about the dark grungy nail colours, so had to rectify that situation pronto.  But I treated myself to this with my Boots points, so it was basically free.

It literally takes me about 2 years to pan a lipstick.  I have a MAC one called Dare You that is half way there and a mini by Marc Jabobs called Goddess which has had some serious attention too.  I do think I'll finish another liquid lipstick soon though - Too Faced Caramel Apple - as I'm not getting much product on the wand now.  Won't remove the stopper for this one as it is too small and I ended up cracking a tube open the last time I tried to remove one so small.  I practically re-apply all day!  Lol. 

Went to the Trafford Centre yesterday. Bought some LUSH bath bombs.  MRM bought me the MAC Christmas set for Christmas. 

I also went into Quality Save this morning and picked up a bottle of Balance Vitamin C Serum as my Skin Saints one is nearly done.

I don't think I've ever finished a lipstick - but have managed a couple of glosses so 👏 to you @VALM

I also went to Lush at the weekend and bought a few bombs and bubble bars as well as replacing shampoo and conditioner that's going to be finished soon.  Oh and bought some bubble bars as gifts for Christmas.  It came to a lot of money but I only really buy bath bombs etc at Christmas so didn't feel too bad about it 😆
