No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries April 2024

@Clutterbug if you have colour treated hair it may be best to look at reviews before buying the TBS Banana product. My daughter tried the Herbal Essences one and it stripped her colour.

Oh no, how annoying!  I don't currently have coloured hair so shouldn't be a problem for me, but a great warning for others, thank you!  Noone wants to spend money on a lovely hair colour only for it to be immediately stripped out of your hair!!!

I have no empties to report but I hit a pan- the shade Daydream from my Beauty Bay Pastels palette.  It's a cute pastel purple shade that I love to use to blend out periwinkle/blue/purple eyeshadow with.

I have 6 more uu

2 x Bath & Body Works handwashes - Peach Bellini and Mahogany Teakwood. Replaced with Warm Vanilla Sugar and another Mahogany Teakwood.

2 x shower gels - ABC Skinwash which ive replaced from stock and Lacura shower gel. This was orange coloured abd pretty horrible. Reminded me of Lucozade.

Elf concealer. HG. Replaced from stash.

Bare Minerals primer samples. This was a card to which were stuck 4 different primers. The silicone Smashbox dupe was nice and the one with SPF was nice.  They didnt include the glowy one so I couldnt compare it to my HG MAC one.  They look as if they are more expensive too.

With 7 days to go im hopeful of finishing all the skincare items in my PP List and the lipgloss. Ive been wearing it on top of pink lip liner to get more wear out of ot too.

A few more UUs and an IN

UU Marseille Chocolate soap. These are lovely and creamy. We are now using the last one that I bought.

UU The Inkey List Retinol Serum. Have a replacement ready.

UU Grogu mask. Used this last night. My skin feels plump this morning. 

IN Went to TKMaxx last weekend with Emma because she wanted some coffee syrup. Picked up a tub of Nip & Fab Micellar pads. Im going to Lanzarote next month and we are carry on only. Want to pear my skincare down and thought these would be kinder to my skin than face wipes.

UU

• Colab Dry Shampoo, Original, 50ml: nice dry shamp, good travel size for a week away. Would repurchase.

Throw Away

• Elf Big Mood Mascara:  Used this for a month despite disliking it from the word go, and I'm just done now.  It's annoying to apply- brush too big, goopy/lumpy, and now its also giving me bad panda eyes so I cannot be doing with it anymore. In the bin it goes! It was a GWP so I dont feel too bad about it, and I did give it a chance.
