No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - May

ruby_eskimo

Will do @Clutterbug07

UU's are a bit limited at the moment as I'm living out of a suitcase and didn't want to pack the spluttering products because I didn't want to run the risk of running out of something and therefore having to pack double IFKWIM.  However do have 1 to declare:

Biossance Lactic Acid Resurfacing Treatment: this was a deluxe sample (about half the size of the proper one) and lasted about a month.  I think it made my skin marginally smoother but have to say I didn't notice a dramatic change for the price.  Will be going back to my Skin & Me retinol when I eventually get home, so until then my skin may be a little more congested and rough than usual.

Nivea Rich Moisturisng Body Lotion - this is a bit like pva glue initially but it rubs in easily, smells gorgeous and is very moisturing and not sticky at all.

Burts Bees Coconut & Pear lip balm - this was a suprise uu.  Love these.

Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion 400ml

I love the Vaseline Cocoa Butter SO much @dolly84

IN 

Loreal Hyaluron Expert Night Cream

Watty1

UU a body lotion I made back in the days i had time. I've put the pot in the dishwasher.

A joy of this thread is I decided to try one of my stash in the shower yesterday. It smelt divine and I felt such joy smelling it.  I had given up using stuff because I was having skin issues about a year ago but I think they were more caused by something else rather than stuff i was using.

The stash got added to as a freebie arrived but it seems more fun than clutter now so IN
Beauty Pie Pure Ceramides Eye Moisture Serum. 

VALM

More UUS

Sample sachet of TBS Vitamin C serum.  This was lovely.  Will look to purchase when the Loreal one is done.

M&S Pure Glycholic toner.  Another HG product although sometimes it's hard to get hold of so I'm trying an ELF one next as a back up for times when I can't buy it.

UU - GWP TBS - Nutriganics Refreshing Toner 60 ml.

I'm trying to go through mini bottles/travel sizes for a while now as I have accumulated a lot of these over the years and I am not travelling this much to make use of them in time. This toner had a very think texture which some may find weird. I didn't find it as refreshing as it claims but it has been in the cupboard for a while so perhaps that might be the reason. It is no longer available I think but even if it was, I wouldn't purchase it again.

One UU today: 

Odylique conditioner. WNBA. Like the shampoo but this isn't moisturising enough

The Beauty Pie - SPF 25 for Face. HG and I have others in my stash. Doesn't break me out, good value and protection.

Another UU over the weekend 

Purito Fermented Complex 94 Boosting Essence: really saw a difference in the hydration of my skin as soon as I started using this.  Plus the bottle lasted absolutely ages so good value for money.  Still living out of a suitcase at my parents and very glad I managed to pack a mini Pukang Yul essence so that's seeing me through till I hopefully get to go home.

Have a few other mini's which might be gone this week but probably not by the end of the month.

Not sure I'm going to have any other UU's this month so here's the updated PP list:

Cath Kidston Lavender Hand Cream
Glossier Rose Balm Dot Com (can't find this at the moment)
Nars Rikugien lip pencil (didn't get a chance to use that much)
4 Sheet Masks (the last of the stash!)
2 body lotions
S&G Foot cream (little bit left, should be gone next month)
Yves Rocher Coconut EDT (same as above)
Umberto Gianni Scalp Scrub
Biossance lactic acid serum
Bobbi Brown Java eyeshadow (completely crumbled but still usable!)

In May I managed to UU 29 products, costing £241.70 and had 7 IN's for £83.13.  Really starting to see progress again and trying to resist buying backups; it's perfectly fine to use something up and then go out and buy the replacement that day - I don't need something there ready to go all the time.
