No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2024

Comments

  • A TA to report - Soap & Glory The Real Zing Body Sorbet 

    I really did try to use this up it smells amazing and initially sinks into the skin lovely but 10 minutes later it pills and flakes off, I’ve read the reviews on boots and others have said the same.

    Have replaced it with Sol De Janeiro Brazilian bum bum cream for my PP list

    @Allthatglitter when a product has pilled on me in the past it has been because it contained white clay.

    Another UU - Bondi Sands facial SPF. Replaced already as it was on offer at Tesco for £6 recently.

    Also meant to say that I ordered the Glossybox Summer bag yesterday. The bag looks gorgeous and as there will only be one product I wont use I considered it a good purchase.

    UU Lacura Hot Cloth Cleanser. Very sad as it looks like Aldi have discontinued this. Im thinking of moving onto micellar water wipes for future second cleanse as I have some that I bought in Lanzarote which are working well for me. I actually bought those in error. I intended to buy tea tree wipes and assumed the green packaging was tea tree.

    Benefit Bad Gal Bang mascara. This started to flake yesterday so time for a new tube from my stash.

  • Oops some ins, nipped to Meadowhall last night and bath and body works were having a sale.

    I picked up the cozy vanilla bourbon and calypso clementine body lotion and the sea salt coast body scrub - they were all down to £5 each.

    I am running low on my body scrub so I would have needed that soon that’s how I’m justifying it to myself anyway haha! 
  • UU
    • Mad About Skin- Protect & Hydrate Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ 100ml: HG, love this one. Had a spare in the stash.
    • Sample sachet - Cerave moisturising cream: second and final sample of this
    • Nina Ricci- 1 x sample spray

    INs
    • Maybelline Tattoo Liner in 970 Polished White: current one is pretty stubby now, so replacement for when it goes.

    @Allthatglitter I wish B&BW would have a UK website instead of Next so we cpukd have access to more fragrances than Next offers.

  • @VALM  I agree! The American stores/site also have better offers and a reward scheme.
    Some of the scents I have to buy off eBay which obviously bumps the price up even more.
