No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2024

Throw away

• Plantur 39 Phyto-Caffeine Shampoo for fine, brittle hair 250ml:  This stuff is awful!!!  It made my head so sore and tender, not only to the touch but I could feel my scalp the whole time and it felt like at any minute, with one wrong move, I would accidentally catch my hair on something and rip out every single hair follicle.  I don’t understand how this product is supposed to help your hair grow- aside from how it made my head feel, I think it made the shedding worse.  I stopped using it this week and my head, although not fully back to normal, feels so much better.

Interesting @Clutterbug07   All the "make your hair grow back" products have irritated my scalp.  I've a bottle of shampoo left I will dilute for hand wash because it smells gorgeous but irritated my scalp but I've given up and am researching where to try on some wigs and hair toppers.

I have given 2 liquid eyeshadows away to Emma. REM Beauty Experiment and Labcoat. I bought them as eady one and done shadows for travel but cant wear them as they burn and irritate my eyes. I have 2 left - Cosmic and Science Fair which im yet to try properly.

Yeah I don't know if any of it works except actual rogaine, and that doesn't even work for everyone either as you found out    Good luck with the wigs and toppers, hope you find some you like!  I just use the dark dry shampoo on my second day hair in my patchy places at the front, and for now that covers any gappy bits- I don't think anyone but me would notice yet.  I'm hoping it won't get worse!

Have a few UUs from the weekend:

• Faith in Nature body wash Grapefruit & Orange 300ml: Like this one, smells nice, it's usually gets repurchased.  Not yet though, onto those Body Shop ones next.
• Revolution Hydrate & Fix Fixing Spray 100ml: WBA.  It's replacement arrived last week
  
• Pampers babywipes- Coco: Had another pack in the stash to replace.
  
• Carex Hand Gel in Sherbet Lemon (50ml): My favourite one, will buy again once have used up my others!
  
• Boots Eye Drops- Itchy & Watery Eyes: Hadn't realised these were empty till I decided to wear my contacts on Saturday- oophs!
  

And I hit a pan this morning- my first for the New Year!  Beauty Bay Dark Fantasy palette, in the shade Hack.  Amusingly it is not a dark fantasy- it's a sparkly light silvery pink- very pretty for inner corner or all over the lids when feeling lazy (like this morning!)

A few more UU for January:

A hair co-wash I can't rmember the name of, a bit too heavy and difficult to fully rinse out wnba

A second champneys body butter- again nice smell but hate the texture wnba

Superdrug vitamin E bodycream. WBA and actually already have one waiting to be opened- very cheap for a large tub and feels lovely.

Superdrug vitamin E hot cloth cleanser. WBA. Its almost as good as Liz earle but a fraction of the price. Have not repurchased yet as have other cleanser to use up first.

Boots protect and prefect day cream was GWP. Its pretty good but I do think the perfume irritates my skin slightly so not as good as my usual moisturiser (probably why its sat so long).

Boots No7 hydraluminous lip balm in blush. I love this and wba but already had a spare (bought on 3 for 2) so no need to purchase right now. I think this may be the first lipstick I've ever properly used up as its the perfect my lips but better shade to not look like you're wearing anything.

FlacosFloozie love the No 7 hydraluminous balms- I've just finished one today!  I count my months by payday though so I will be counting it in my Feb tallies. 

Jan 2024 totals
INS: 17 (11 gifts, 6 replacements)- £60.77
OUTS: 15 (12 UU, 3 throw away)

Stash is 2 items bigger than it was at the end of Dec.  Not terrible considering Jan was my bday month and I got both makeup/toiletry presents and also bday money (of which i still have some left......)
