No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - April

@Clutterbug07 could you use up the No7 resurfacing peel on your feet? That's the one place that I find benefits from some strong acid when I feel like it's too strong to use on my face.
Haven't had any UU but have received the second order that I made to cheer myself up, so have some INs to declare:
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Travel set
Charlotte Tilbury mini airbrushed away powder
Charlotte Tilbury mini Filmstar Bronze and Glow
I had a 20% off discount and have wanted to try Charlotte Tilbury for a while and found the mini's on her site. We'll see if it's all worth the hype 🤣Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20173 -
I don't want to encourage unnecessary purchases, but have to share this.
If you have access to B&Ms, they are now selling The Inkey List.
I've wanted to try the PHA Toner and they had it for £3.99 for 100ml. Boots have it for £11.49.
Please only buy if you really need itUse it up, wear it out, make it do or do without4 -

I own 2 Charlotte Tilbury items which are a lipgloss called Red Vixen (am on my second tube) and the eyeshadow quad called Rebel which is also gorgeous. I did have a sample of Pillow Talk Medium lipstick but it was too dark so I passed it onto Emma. I've bought Emma a few of their lipsticks over the years and she says it's the nicest formula she has.

Thank you. I regularly buy their caffeine eye cream, niacinamide serum, retinol serum and a blemish serum. I think we have a B&Ms near work. Will try to remember to to and look on Monday.

Some more UUsBare Minerals Phyto-Retinol Night Concentrate and Night Cream. Just like the eye cream these products are lovely. I'm probably most likely to run out of night cream first so will look to purchase this then.I also gave away a bottle of perfume today to a friend at work. It's the ALDI Hotel Collection Pomegranite one. She is a huge fan of it and is having problems finding it. I can take it or leave it as I much prefer a more muskier scent.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

That's good to hear about the Charlotte Tilbury @VALM 👍
Have another UU to report:
Biossance Omega Repair Cream - love this, was a mini size that I got in a kit and now moving on to a full size. Perfect night cream for me.

UU Rituals Good Fortune shower gel. This was gorgeous and glad I finished it before the weather gets warmer. If they release this again next year I'll ask Santa for it again.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I did well at the local TKMaxx.
I stocked up on liquid Savon de Marseille from the reduced price shelves at £2.50 for 500ml. I avoid anything with SLS and other harsh chemicals which make my skin sore, and this is good for washing woollens too.3
