No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2023

Hodgepodge

I'm aiming for a no beauty spend February - wish me luck!! 

VALM

@Hodgepodge - you've got this!

2 more UUS:-

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish - HG.  More in stash.

Kiehls Rare Earth Deep Cleansing masque - sample sachet.  Put this on whilst in the bath last night.  Could feel it working.  Don't think I would repurchase.

Good luck @Hodgepodge!

I have a Boots order on it's way, so deffo not a no-spend for me, but hopefully a low spend month, and not too many unnecessary items.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I did pop to Boots to get a nail strengthener, but I didn't have one and my nails are flakey right now, so that's ok, right?

IN

• Essie - Hard to Resist Nail Strengthener- "glow & shine" (the pink tint one):  been using a lot of polish recently and its made my nails a bit flakey.  I'll be getting a gel polish for a wedding in a few weeks time (which destroys my nails), so I need this to give them a fighting chance!  Used Boots points to get this, so I technically didn't spend any money!

Question- how long do y'all keep your lipsticks for?

I just realised I have some that are reaaaaaaaaaaally old. One of my faves, I just checked my emails for a receipt, is from 2017.... I mean, it hasn't killed me and I use it all the time, but y'kno, that will be 6 years old this year.....  and I have two that I have no idea when I bought and could be even older!

@Clutterbug07 I know I have some Revlon ones that are 10 years old because I bought them on our first cruise in 2012. As long as they don't smell or taste of crayon I continue to use them.

2 UUs

Diddly Squat soap. This was so lovely. I will be repurchasing after I finish my tub of LUSH Cup o Coffee.

Skinsense eye concentrate. This doesn't seem to work anymore. Have an Origins one to try but want to work some eye masks out first.

A few v boring INs, of some items that either have run out or will be running out shortly.

• Umberto Giannini Grow Long Lengthening Conditioner: Like the hair mask, giving this a try as my hair has thinned a bit this last year.  Don't particularly want it to grow long per se, just to stimulate hair growth. My current one is probably one wash away from done, as I've had to put a bit of water in to get the last bit out
• Pampers babywipes- Coconut Pure Protection x 2: Got two- one for home as its run out, and one for work which wont long be finished too!
  
• Garnier Micellar Water Facial Cleanser For Sensitive Skin (pink one) 400ml: mine is nearing the bottom, and this was cheaper than the large 700ml one.
  
• Batiste Dry Shampoo - Medium & Brunette 200ml: Current one is feeling v light and almost done.  Always have to have one of the brown ones on rotation, so replacement ordered.

If they smell fine and work well I just keep using them.
