No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries March 2023

Loves this month :

My Mad About Skin face sunscreen spf 50- it's so light and non-greasy, I absolutely love it!

My crazy Odens Eye highlighters- who doesn't love an alien !!!!!! moment? if you know, you know

Beauty of Joseon Retinal eye serum- have actually been using it all over my face as a starter retinal.  V gentle really, but hopefully it is doing some retinally goodness.

I think next month I should finish 3 items from my 2023 PP list which is exciting!

VALM

Uu BlabzBeautyBar cuticle oil. I love these pens. Spare one in stash.

I ordered a tube of Australian bodycare body lotion yesterday as there was 15%off so I effectively got free shipping.

UU

• Mad About Skin- Protect & Hydrate Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ 100ml: Love this spf, my replacement arrived the other week.

Few more UU from the weekend

2 x Bayliss and Harding Body Lotions: again from the advent calendar, think I have 2 or 3 more to go and each one lasts me about 1.5 full body applications

Byoma Brightening Serum: not sure if this actually does anything for my skin but it definitely doesn't do anything bad to it and its relatively cheap so have replaced with a refill from the stash

Missha Lemon Sheet Mask: this was the last one I had from my trip to Korea in 2019.  Only 1 more Etude house mask that will get used this weekend and then I only have a small handful of sheet masks to use that were all purchased in the last 12 months or were freebies.


I haven't really had a PP list for this month but as for things I've been loving 😻: 

Avene Cicalfate + to help soothe my skin that was going a bit crazy from the increased retinol strength I was using

Mac Woodwinked eyeshadow which I've realised I can't use as a "1 and done" shadow like a lot of people do, and instead it has to be a little highlight in the centre of my lid to look good

Biossance Copper Peptide Serum which I had a deluxe sample of I think made a bigger difference to how hydrated my skin was compared to my usual Vichy Mineral 89.  So now I'm debating buying a full size once I run out of the Vichy but it's expensive 🤔

And another item has been used up:

The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector: this was a long haul product and I wasn't expecting it to be finished last night but no, there was nothing else in there.  This is the heavy duty hand cream that heals my hands and keeps my nails looking good, but I don't really like the scent but it is very cost effective.  Have replaced with a mini cath kidston hand cream from a Christmas set.

That hemp hand cream is great, it really helps doesnt it!  I've always got a tube of it as well as all the Christmas-gift type ones since they're mostly nice smelling rather than actually doing anything!

One UU this morning.  I could have had two- the Concrete Mineral eyeshadow in Ruse from my PP list literally has one more use left (thank god!!!) but I just couldn't face it!   I'm WFH tomorrow as well so I'll do it then.

• Garnier Ambre Solaire Overmakeup Super UV sunscreen spray/mist SPF50 75ml:  From last year, so thought I should use it up now whilst it's not v sunny/UV is low.  This literally had one spray left could have been finished last summer!  Oh well.  They're great for when you're out and about, say if you're on a day out, nice walk, that kind of thing.  Quick spray and you're topped up again without messing with your makeup.

Gruum Charcoal Facial Cleansing Bar - this one didn't melt like the other piece did last summer, I used this to the bitter end and it was nice, not drying at all.

Eve of St Agnes Hydrating Facial Silk 50ml - this smells amazing, unfortunately I find it a bit lightweight for me so WNBA.

VALM

UU Bayliss & Harding bubble bath. This was a Christmas gift. It was lovely however I would not purchase for myself.  Was always a bit wary of picking up the glass bottle though the packaging was beautiful.

Cue the trumpets and angels singing- I have finally finished the Ruse eyeshadow I've been hate-panning forever!!!!!!!!!!!!

UU

• Concrete Minerals- Mineral Eyeshadow in Ruse:  description says bronze w/ gold sparkle, and is, but it's so pale and bland, it looks like nothing on me.  I am so glad this is gone and I never have to use it again!!!

Updated PP list for 2023- picked 23 for 23, so 6 down already!

1. Haruharu WONDER - Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner
2. Simple Protect 'N' Glow Radiance Booster SPF30
   
3. BIG Tresemme shampoo: Second HUGE bottle my Mum gave me. The husb uses this, but since half the time he cycles to work and showers there and it is HUGE, I think this may outlive us all! 
4. Concrete Minerals mineral Eyeshadow in Ruse: the never ending eyeshadow, almost threw it out the other day just so I wouldn't have to keep hate panning it, but then I would feel cheated after having used this mediocre eyeshadow all this time!  It CANNOT be a throw away now!
5. Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum: soooooooooooo fragranced. Using up on hands/body.
6. No 7 Resurfacing Peel: this was a gift with purchase and I am too scared to use it- it's 15% glycolic and I think it might burn my face off.... I only use 7%!!
7. The Body Shop: Vitamin E Skin Cooling Gel Mist: think this will be good in the spring/summer
8. Tony Moly - The Chok Chok Green Tea Watery Skin toner
9. The Body Shop- Aloe Calming Toner
10. The Body Shop InstaGlow CC Cream
11. Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner
12. Jackie's Hen Do Lip Balm x 2
13. Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Oil
14. Elf Jelly Pop Glow Stick: nice but I've had it a while and it's a creamy stick, so should use it up
15. LilyLolo Mineral Blush- Beach Babe: for some reason I ordered a few of these over time, clearly not realising I already owned it- *doh* and I don't love the colour that much, so would like at least one gone from my stash
16. LilyLolo Mineral Blush- Goddess: a deeper more rusty rose red colour, doesn't hugely suit me.
    
17. Benefit Gogo Tint: bright cherry lip n cheek tint.  Don't really use this very much (always prefered the cha cha peachy one), so would like to use it up this year
18. Sugarpill liquid lipstick- in Trinket:  keep thinking this is almost done.  And then it isn't!
