No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July

2 UUs from me

Nip Fab No Needle Fix Eye Cream : I think I got this from TK Maxx. I liked the feel of it but I am usually indifferent to eyecreams as I never really notice a big change after using them so I'm not a regular user. Perhaps I may buy this again if I come across a good deal.
Murad Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture: This was from a Caroline Hirons box and it is a great product, feels really good on skin but if you have a really dry skin, it may not be as moisturising. It is expensive as many other Murad products and while it is worth the money, it is more than I would pay for so very unlikely to buy again.

Scissors! Cut tubes of cream or toothpaste midway, slot them together to keep the air out, in between bouts of scraping the contents out with a finger. Theyll last for a week, maybe more.

I'm in awe of how quickly you hit pan on eyeshadows @VALM - it seems like you're on a new one each month!

I've been working on them all for a while.  I also hit pan on another yesterday - MAC Born to Rule from the Made my Fortune palette.

The decluttering continues!  

Throw away

• L'Oreal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer - 321 Eggshell: I must have bought these for my wedding, in 2021 as I remember buying a load to find the right colour…. Time to go!  Also, I'm pale but it's far too light for me so never really used except a little in the waterline.
• L'Oreal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer - 320 Porcelain: ditto.
  
• Sleek -  Lifeproof Colour Corrector in 'Ditch Dark Circles': An orangey type colour corrector for under eyes.  I never really got on very well with this, and I think it makes my under eye concealer crease even worse.  Plus this is not on my speadsheet which starts in 2021, so…. Byebye
  

Plus a bit of re-cluttering....

• Maison Margiela Replica Memory Box 10 x 2ml:  little perfume samples.  My regular perfume finished last month, and I've been keen to try these fragrances from Maison Margiela.  It's not cheap for what is effectively 10 samples, but this way I get to try most of their scents and then can pick my favourite to get a regular size- so in a way it means you don't waste money!   
• Maybelline Tattoo Liner in 970 Polished White: Bought for the waterline to make eyes appear brighter and more open.  I had been using one of the super light concealer for the task, but said concealer is super old and shouldn't really go anywhere near my eye!  Effectively a replacement.
  
• Sure Nonstop Protection 72H- Cotton Dry 75ml: Apparently I always forget to check if I have deo in the stash and am paranoid about running out!  Oh well, not a terrible purchase though, as I always get through it.
  
• L'Oreal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer - 325 Bisque:  I am literally scraping the barrel with my current one, so this is its replacement.

I've had that kit in the past.  There were a few that I really liked but to be honest they were not long lasting.

I forgot to mention my UUs so far

Benefit Bad Gal Bang mascara.  I am now on my last tube.  Hopefully, this will last until September when I'm next on a flight and can buy it at a reduced price.

Amika dry shampoo.  I liked this but it's pricey.

Kiehls Turmeric mask.  Ditto.

Another UU - sample size of Clinique Dramatically Different Cream.  I like this however I try to stay away from Clinique as it triggers my spending as they do a lot of GWP offers.

I haven't joined in so far this month.  I've had several days laid up in bed ill but am starting to recover now.  I've had another makeup declutter and don't really have much left of the original stash, I had a long, hard look at it and thought this stuff is old, there is no way I am ever going to finish it all, a lot of it isn't right for me now so why hang on to it and try to wade through it?  I only buy what I need now and am able to start using it quite quickly, I don't really have a stash of anything much so I suppose I have graduated at long last.  I will probably pop on from time to time.

Morning everyone!

I definitely need to get back on the wagon with this one

Here is the tally! Definitely some in-roads to be made

Oooh, new layout/design!

Throw away

• Mehron Barrier Spray:  I found this with my Halloween makeup- it is OLD (found email order and I bought it in 2016 ) and smells bad- goodbye!
