No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - May

@ruby_eskimo thanks for your mini review of Farmacy cleanser. I may try it when I run out of my TBS Cleansing butter.  

I have a H20 body butter in my stash. Couldn't recall where I got it. If it was from Dusney it's very old as we haven't stayed there for about 8 years at least.

You're welcome @VALM - don't think I'd go out of my way to buy the Farmacy unless it was on offer because it is rather expensive compared to TBS one but it is very good IMO.

Have another UU for today:

Umberto Gianni Grow Scalp Scrub - Bought this because I felt that I needed something to really get through my thick hair and properly cleanse my scalp.  It did that, but the scent was a bit off and it too a lot of work to get it to foam up and through my hair.  Think I'd go back to using Lush's Big shampoo instead because that was easier to work with and prefer the scent of that.

Thanks for the new thread, @pinkfluffybabe!

PP list for 2023- picked 23 for 23, so 9 down already!

1. Simple Protect 'N' Glow Radiance Booster SPF30
   
2. BIG Tresemme shampoo: a never ending storrrrrrrrr-orrry!  Also using this as liquid hand soap.
3. No 7 Resurfacing Peel: I WILL at least try this on my knees and feet this month!!!
   
4. The Body Shop: Vitamin E Skin Cooling Gel Mist
5. Tony Moly - The Chok Chok Green Tea Watery Skin toner- using as body toner since it is quite fragranced.
6. The Body Shop- Aloe Calming Toner
7. Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner
8. Jackie's Hen Do Lip Balm x 2
9. Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Oil
10. Elf Jelly Pop Glow Stick: nice but I've had it a while and it's a creamy stick, so should use it up
11. 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
12. LilyLolo Mineral Blush- Goddess: a deeper more rusty rose red colour, doesn't hugely suit me.
    
13. Benefit Gogo Tint: bright cherry lip n cheek tint.  Might last a hundred years as you don't need much of it, and I can't see how much is in the bottle.
14. Sugarpill liquid lipstick- in Trinket:  keep thinking this is almost done.  And then it isn't!

I have some other items I want to finish this year- an I'm From Fig essence, an I'm from Rice toner- but don't want to add them to the official list cos it's more fun to see how many I can reduce that original 23 by, but I'll be working on these other items as soon as I can.

UU

• Pampers babywipes- Coconut Pure Protection:  My home pack of these ran out.  Will need to repurchase soon.

INS

Not here yet, but due to arrive today, so adding it now whilst I remember!

• Mad About Skin- Protect & Hydrate Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ 100ml: for my holiday
• Mad About Skin- Got You Covered Super Serum: replacement- current one will run out soon.
  
• Mad about Skin Maximum Impact Moisturiser: replacement.  My current moisturiser will run out soon, and I missed this thicker one.  Plus will be great multipurpose for holiday since it's quite a large tube for a face moisturiser (without being huge like a body moisturiser)
  

Will no doubt have a few more holiday items to get.  Will probably order some bar shampoo to take with us- this worked well when we went to Italy a few years back, and is lighter to pack than bottles of shampoo.  Anyone have any recommendations?  I have fine hair, prone to getting greasy.

uu

Maldon Soap Co Gentle Eye Cream - this was basic but nice, massive glass jar too, probably 30ml.  I think this brand is a bit pricey for what it is so WMNBA.

VALM

The Ultrasun SPF finally spluttered ots last this morning.

Two UU today: 

Aveda nutriplenish leave in conditioner. WBA. Onto new one already. 

Arran aromatics hand creme. WNBA. Not a fan of the scent or consistency 

VALM

Hi everyone, hope you are having a good bank holiday weekend.

UUs to report:

YSL Top Secrets Moisture Glow: HG. Have more in stash. Great make up base for my skin. Last a long time. WBA.

NYX Makeup Eyeshadow Primer Base: Initially found this good but last few times, it didn't really do the job so not sure about it. Sometimes my eyelids are a bit oily, so perhaps it is ok if you dont have oily eyelids.

Pai Face Cleansing Oil (Rosehip Cleansing Oil for Sensitive Skin) - this was from a box, i think Caroline Hirons one. It is very gentle and doesn't feel heavy on skin. Takes make up off well. I am not sure if would buy it again due to its' price but if you have sensitive skin, would be worth a try.

First UU MAC Stack mascara.  WNB. This came in a kit. Will give it away next time I get one. The wand is too spiky. The struggle is real. Lol

I have a mini of this - they were giving away free samples when it was launched. I agree the wand is not the best and mascara often ends up on my under eyes after a few hours putting it on!
