No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June

UU Small bottle of Rituals Sleep Ritual of Jing Body Mist and Pillow Spray. Still have a large bottle to go. I like the smell but but not sure it works as well as the "This Works" Pillow Spray. i might use up as a body mist after an evening shower and see if that helps with my sleep.
UU Salcura Bioskin. Bought when I was suffering really itchy skin. Not sure what has changed, it might be the hot weather and getting sun on my skin, the lack of sleeping meds or the reduction in stress but the itching has decreased to minimal. This product helped but it has a slightly medicinal smell and is greasy on application. I noticed my skin was great on this product but the smell and feel puts me off. One to remember if I struggle again in Winter
UU Zara White Perfume This is a small spluttering amount that refuses to come out of the bottle. I love this perfume, very inexpensive and gorgeous. Am not re-purchasing as I have two perfume bottles to use up but this is on the shopping list as soon as one of those is empty.
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

UU TBS - Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
Pretty good, long lasting and gentle on my eyes.

Shocked to discover Radox shower gel is no longer sold with a hanging hook. Luckily my local Sainsbury’s had four bottles of old stock … I know it’s old because it says “shower gel for men”!4

Hello, I was away in Lanzarote last week. We only took carry on bags so I had to be frugal with the liquids and didn't finish anything whilst we were away however today I finished the bottle of The Inkey List Niacinamide Serum that was opened prior to going and that I left here. Have the one I used on holiday to replace this with.

Hope you had a good time on your holiday @VALM
Have a few more UU to report:
Lush Yellow Submarine Bath bomb: bought this from the Liverpool store when I was there for Eurovision. Smelt amazing and just what I needed for a relaxing bath. Would buy again if I'm ever back in the area
Garnier Anti-fatigue sheet mask: was ok, did the job, didn't notice any anti-fatigue but did moisturise my skin pretty well. Only 2 more sheet masks to go!
Versed Dew Point Moisturising Gel Cream: love this moisturiser for the day time, sinks into my skin, keeps it hydrated and layers well under and over my other products. Replaced with another one.
Nivea Sun UV Face Protect Fluid SPF50+: bought this as a stop gap between the SPF I was using and the one I was waiting on from Stylevana. Mixed feelings about this - yes it gives the protection I want, yes it was easy to apply but the alcohol level in it freaked my skin out a little from time to time and it was just so shiny! I literally look like I've dunked my face in cooking oil. Layered well under makeup despite feeling like it was sitting on my face. Have replaced with the SKIN1004 one which I'm excited to try tomorrow.
Also have a rare TA
Soap and Glory Hand Food Mini: this had been in my stash a little while and appears to have separated majorly (think curdled milk 🤢) so have had to chuck. Only went to get it out the stash as I couldn't find my other hand cream but realised I'd left it in the office so rescued that yesterday.

The stash has gone up. Was shopping on line and a trial box of Green People made its way into my basket because (here goes with the justification) my make up remover is almost done and I wanted to try a cheaper 'natural' one but didn't want to splash out on the large size in case I dont like. Thus added a trial size moisturiser, facial scrub and the make up remover. Plus a freebie trial pot of Oskia Super C capsules.
Loving this thread because previously things like the scrub and super c would have just ended up in "the stash" and now I am using stuff up and enjoying that. Plus my skin is looking better too.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

@ruby_eskimo - had a fab time thank you. Would love to move to Lanzarote. The LUSH store in Liverpool is massive. I used one of their wax bars last night which was lovely.@Watty1 - glad you have found your groove with this.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
