No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2023

VALM

I've given my Fenty Heat lip oil? to Emma. This product burned!

Also some TAs

A few perfume atomisers. They were cheap and leaked all the time. I have ordered some better ones.

Stila eyeliner. This didn't show in my water line nor on my upper lid. I could see it if applied below my water line but I don't like wearing eyeliner like that as my eyes are too small.

Hello ladies, hope all well. I've been well busy over the last year, passing my driving exam, buying a house, starting a new job first in January then December so have gone awol but moving to a new house comes with the realisation that you have too much stuff and I have been clearing out more rigorously than before, as I also have less space in the new house.

New job also means I'm now going into the office twice a week so I'm using more products as a result. 
I still feel I have a good chunk of things to go through and I miss the chatter in this thread so I will try to pop in every now and then. Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to read your posts again.

Welcome back @asajj

Have a few more UU to report:

Clarins Double Face Serum Sample - have a few of these sachets hanging around and they're good for the odd night away.  Didn't really notice anything special because its just one use.

Elie Saab Le Parfum Essentiel sample - Wasn't the biggest fan of this but managed to use it up anyway

TBS Himalayan Charcoal Face Mask mini - love the effect of this on my skin but the scrubbing bits can be a bit harsh sometimes, so I've gone back to an old favourite of Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore clearing mask

Bayliss and Harding Jojoba and Vanilla bubble bath and bath salts - working my way through the advent calendar stuff

Missha Lemon Sheet Mask - only 2 more of these to go!

Urban Decay Shag deluxe eyeshadow - this was a long time love and eventually decided that it needed to go so been working my way through it and eventually it's now finished!

asajj - that's quite a year you had- congrats on the driving test, new house, and new job- you have been busy!!

• The INKEY List™ Succinic Acid Treatment 15ml:  I like this, I do think it help reduce blemishes and it definitely takes some of the inflammation down. Have already repurchased as this was on its last legs for ages!

INS

These were from the other week.... I didn't mention them then as I was a bit embarrassed to make such unnecessary purchases, however in my defense, I am very happy with what I bought and have been using them a lot.

• Maybelline Color Sensational Loaded Bold Gone Greige 893:  My grungy Trinket will be done soon, and I have enjoyed having a darker brown-leaning (on me) lippie, so ordered this as a replacement.  Gone Greige is a cool-toned, medium-dark taupe- basically a grey/brown/mauve.  It gives that kind of 'dead' look if too heavily applied, but smudged out I like it.
• MUA Shimmer Highlight Powder- Pearlescent Sheen: Gives a real "alien !!!!!! moment" (Theresa is Dead, thank you for that phrase ) and I love it!  It's got a sort of pink-blue sheen, it's so pretty.  Bought in a moment of weakness.  Luckily not too expensive
  
• Max Factor x Priyanka colour elixir lipstick in Golden Dust: A beautiful orangy brown nude, absolutely stunning colour and it makes me happy when I put it on.  Actually wearing it now. :-)  Another completely unnecessary purchase though, but one I know I will really get a lot of use out of.
  
• Garnier Moisture Bomb Lavender Hydrating Face Sheet Mask: Got suckered into this at the till, I don't know why, I never do that.  But I like these Garnier sheet masks, so I'll use it up.

2 UUs and 1 IN

UU

Bath & Body Works Handwash in Cinnamon Rolls fragrance. 

Biyoma jelly cleanser. Now that I've replaced this I decided to dump the last of this into my bath water which I did last night. The amount of bubbles that this made was pretty disconcerting however at least its been put to use.

IN - a lovely friend at work gave me a bottle of OPI Infinite Shine Polish in the colour Good Girls gone plaid. She said she saw it whilst she was out shopping 

and thought of me which is so lovely.  I'm wearing it as an accent nail today. Coincidentally I was already wearing OPI You've got that Glasglow from the same collection.

I hit pan in another eyeshadow yesterday.  Colourpop Telepathy.  Love this colour.

One more UU to report

Beauty of Joseon Rice Probiotic SPF 50+ - really liked this.  It left a satin finish to the skin, quite moisturising but didn't leave me particularly oily.  May buy the full size when I need to replace my eye cream and essence.

VALM

I hit pan in my bronzer today - Urban decay OC from the Gwen Stefani palette.

I've cleared out my dressing table drawers today and even though I declutter regularly things still mount up.  I've got rid of several empty jars and pots I've been keeping for decanting things into, I have one or two still just in case.  I got rid of a Wet Brush which is well past it's best and a comb I never use along with a hair stying device neither DD or myself use (that will be donated).

TA

John Frieda Frizz Ease Go Curlier - about a third of a bottle left but I don't heat dry my curls.

Bumble & Bumble Air Dry Cream (can't remember the name), this was for thick and coarse hair which I do not have but I have used it along with DD, there was barely any left but it is really old now so out it goes.
