No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2023

VALM

Updated PP List:-

Ultrasun SPF 

Pure night cream 

Too faced Old Money 

Bare Minerals Heart 

Lacura hand cream

Bioma jelly cleanser

Kiehls ultimate cream 

Superdrug shampoo

UU Automatic shower gel.  I don't know which hotel I brought this home from however it was so so.  Another mini out though.

I have ordered a new cleanser - the Ordinary one that I like - and when I receive it I plan to dump what's left of the Biyoma one into my bath water as it is truly awful.  It has started to dry my skin out so I'm done with it.

Omg I am eyeing up eyeshadow palettes and feeling huge urges to buy something!!!!!!!  I'm gonna go swatch some of my eyeshadows to stave off the desire!!!!!!!!

I've been feeling the same since I started the low buy hence why I also set up a skincare one but now I'm hankering after new fragrance.  Hopefully, all the ones I have bought on my break and birthday will now curb that feeling.

Belated birthday wishes VALM.

Small bar of guest soap from a Cornish brand

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque 1 Litre - I haven't actually finished this, I've decanted the last of it into the tub I keep it in in the shower and by the time I get through that I might have forgotten the name so I'm mentioning it now.  I have had this a very long time, it was massive and I only use it once, maybe twice a week, I had bought smaller tubs in the past, it is really lovely and reminds me of a product I used to buy from Boots many years ago called Henera something or other.  I just looked up the price of the Macadamia masque and half the size is £22-£29 a pot.

Happy Birthday for yesterday @VALM!  Hope you had a good day?  Looks like you got a lovely lot of skincare/body products/makeup, and hopefully it scratches that itch!

The swatching really helped me, and also taking a step back and thinking about the colours in the palette I was lusting after- a stunning mix of purples and greens.  I have lots of greens and purples can make it look like I have a black eye- there's a reason I don't own many purples!!

• Garnier Sensitive Skin Micellar Water- 700ml: Used up the last of it wiping eyeshadow swatches off my arm yday.  It was fun seeing all the pretties!
• OGX Argan oil Shampoo: Smells nice. Despite having the argan oil, I'm not sure how nourishing this is.  Would maybe buy again, though I think I would try a different OGX first.  No need to buy a new shampoo, I have a pantene one in my stash.

• Puresource Rotuorua Thermal Mud Bath Salts:  Bought this on an amazing holiday to NZ in 2015….. It has been unused since then due to our rental not having a particularly relaxing or pretty bathroom (so I don’t wanna hang out in there).  It might still be ok, it's just bath salts, but I think I'm really clinging onto it because I got it on such a fantastic holiday.  Due to the thermal muds it smells very sulphury, and I don't think that when we finally buy a house (which will hopefully have a nice tub), that I will want to use eggy bath salts.

I have two lippies with a crack in the lid.  The lippies themselves are old and I don't remember when I got them, and they've both had cracked lids for so long I can't remember when it happened.....  Probably not hugely hygienic and I know I should get rid, but my heart is sad about it as I do like them, so I'm not officially listing them yet

• Naturally Thinking - Avocado organic carrier oil:  A long time ago I used to use avo oil to cleanse my skin, but this one has been sat there for a hundred years now (bought in March 2021) and I havent finished it.  There's a label on there also to say it expires 23/11/22.  It's not far off two years old, so time to go, as oil does go off!
• E45 Cream- 350g tub: According to the side of the tub, use by 1 July 2021…..so I've had it even longer.  Time to go in the bin!

Rose & Fankincense Skin Cream 60g - this is made by a local health food shop and is sort of light, creamy balm which turns into an oil on contact with the skin.  I've had a couple of jars of this now and WBA.

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml - this lasted a very long time as I had another cleanser on the go at the same times so I could alternate.  It does a good job at dissolving make up quickly.

Lost???

Boots Lip balm - this was a little metal tin and it was from when Boots were bringing back some of their original formulas, I didn't find it very good but I kept it in DH's car to use and I recently put it in my pocket when we were out walking then I put it in the hallway to go back into the car but I think DH has thrown it into the recycling bin.

I've ordered a couple of perfume samples recently- Replica - On a Date abd Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb. Both are lovely will save these little vials for the weekends.

Emma is currently working for a Next that has a small Bath & Body Works department. We were visiting her store yesterday and handwash was on offer so I bought 2 - Black Cherry Merlot and Peach Bellini. 

Ordered The Ordinary Squalene Cleanser from Next. 

Went to Trafford Centre last night to eat and MRM bought me 2 bath bombs from LUSH   

I do need to purchase my HG TBS Chamomile Cleansing butter. Was waiting for Birthday gift card from TBS so will order today
