No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in Feb 2025

Hodgepodge

UU

• Super Sensitive Cleansing Cream – Votary WNBA. It was ok and I had no issues with it but the texture didn’t excite me. There are cleansers that I prefer way more than this.
• The After Show Treatment Cleanser for Sensitive Skin - Jordan Samuel Skin Will definitely buy this again when I am ready to do an order with Jordan Samuel Skin. It is beautiful.

IN

·       B. Intense Hydrating Serum - Superdrug

·       Happy Face No-Stress Jelly Cleanser - Beauty Pie

·       B. Hydrating Face Mist - Superdrug

·       Vitamin E Facial Mist - Superdrug 

 

The Superdrug Ins were from the Caroline Hirons promotion and I got the Vitamin E mist for free. I only have 2 cleansers left that I can use on wet skin in the shower, 1 nearly used up and 1 is a mini, so bought the new Beauty pie Jelly Cleanser as a replacement which will be needed soon.

Few more UU from the weekend:

Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm - HG balm, use it morning and night, must be the one in the pot though as find the stick version is too waxy.  Have a replacement ready to go.

Wild Deo - replaced with same, use it every day.

Bayliss and Harding Bath Cream - was part of a christmas gift in 2023, smelled good, had a good amount of bubbles.  Have a couple of Lush products to work through before I buy anything else.

Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Body Mist - this was actually a TA of the last bit as it started just smelling of alcohol.  Now down to 1 body mist and a couple of mini perfumes so might ask for some perfume for my birthday soon.

More UUS - 3 Lacura products

Bath soak - Radox copy. I use the lavender one. Will repurchase at weekend

Body wash (used as hand wash) - replaced with Rituals one I got as Xmas gift.

Face base - love this. Have others in stash but will be replacing with one from Busy Beehive Studio that I bought in Hawkshead.

INS

Lacura facial serum. Am using this at the moment. Bought back up.

ELF Concealer. Mine is spluttering.

More UU's to report - this month has been a pretty good for using things up so far:

ELF Power Grip Primer with Niacinamide mini - HG, love this and have another couple in the stash.  

Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter - was part of a christmas gift in 2023 so about time I used it up!  While it does a good job at moisturising, I don't like the scent that much, can be a bit overpowering.  Have replaced with a Garnier Body Food.

CosRX Snail Mucin - have another one in the stash to use up so will work through that and then try the Byoma one I think.

Clinique Take the Day Off Mini - got this in the M&S advent calendar last year.  Going back to the body shop one as found the Clinique felt a bit too thick.  Plus the packaging was bigger than it needed to be, was actually surprised that I had finished it so quickly!

Lush Power Conditioner - HG, love this and the massive sized pot like this one last me ages.  Have replaced with a Shea Moisture hair mask that I need to finish sooner rather than later!

UU

• NEOGEN - Dermalogy White Truffle Serum In Oil Drop [50ml]: From my PP list, finally finished something of it!  This is an oil-serum hybrid, and it's a nice product, but I just didn't know how to use this in my routine as I like using actual oil, which makes this combo product a bit pointless for me.  I used it up on my body.  WNBA
• Umberto Giannini- Wonder Lift Plumping Spray: This product precedes my toiletries spreadsheet!  Since I started using it last year, I have really liked it.  It does help my hair look a bit fuller, a bit less gappy. Purchased the replacement in December, don't think they do the exact same but I bought their closest thickening texture spray so we'll see how that does.
• Boots Anti-Dandruff Ketoconazole 2% w/w Shampoo: Bought the replacement last week.

And I hit pan in my Beauty Bay- Mini Charms (9 pan) palette, in the shade Milky Way- a lovely white duo-chromey shimmer.

25 for 2025 PP list: 1 down, 24 to go!

1. DERMATORY - Hypoallergenic Cica Gel Cream 50ml: carried over from last years PP.
2. MAC Black Cherry Glow Play Lipbalm:  carried over from last years PP list.  Bought in 2021.... need to finish it!
3. Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Oil 200 ml: had this a while. I’ve figured out the best way to use it now- mixed in with some moisturiser makes it less greasy.
4. Klairs Supple Preparation Toner: accidentally bought the fragranced one last year, want to get this used up on my body.
5. Redken 11 Thermal Spray: heat and hold spray. Don’t like it, too thick/heavy for my hair- want it gone so I can get a lighter heat protectant spray.
6. Tigi Bedhead Motor Mouth- mega volumizer with gloss: like this, had it forever though so probs time to finish it up
7. Lilylolo mineral blush in Beach Babe
8. iUNIK Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Vitalizing Toner: don’t love this, too thick for a toner, would like it gone so I can go back to one I love.
9. 17. Gorgeous Gloss- yellow: like this, but the soft brown is my fave. Not heaps left, I could finish it this year!
10. Klairs Supple Preparation Unscented Toner- mini 30ml size: like this from pre-skin issue days, so want to try the sample to see how I like it now.
11. Skin1004 Centella Toning Toner – mini 30ml: has very mild form of AHA exfoliants. Want to see how my skin does with this as I’d like an AHA in my routine but am very wary of going OTT and destroying my skin.  If I put it on this list, I will have to try it- currently a bit scared still about introducing new products.
12. One loose eyeshadow: unspecified: but I want to finish one this year.
13. One nail polish: ditto.
14. The Body Shop British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask
15. Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter liner in Distortion: iridescent glitter liner, bought in 2021…. Still using it but really shouldn’t.  Sadly they don’t seem to make these colours anymore so I’ll be sad once they’re gone.
16. Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter liner in Grind: the pinky one.
17. The Body Shop Festive Berry hand cream
18. Vaseline Lip Therapy- Gold Dust:  not sure when I bought this… has teeny tiny shimmer in so give lips a nice sheen. It’s kinda old though and I have a big pan so would like to finish it this year.
19. Mad About Skincare Gentle Jelly Cleanser: putting this on the list cos I am being FAR too lazy and using micellar too frequently instead of actually washing my face. I have one back up of this in my stash so I don’t mind finishing my current one either as I won’t need to replace it.
20. Aveeno Dermexa Daily Emollient Cream – 500ml: want to be better at moisturising!
21. Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Body Booster Mousse – 50ml travel size: don’t really use this, would like it gone. Or at least used frequently enough that I can see whether I like it.
22. Collection Glam Crystals  Lip Rocker lipgloss: bit too frosty rather than sparkly, so don’t love this.
23. Revolution Colour Correct & Fix Primer- Green: I don’t think this does ANYTHING, so I would like it gone.
24. Essie Apricot nail and cuticle oil: would like to try different oil for nails, so got to get this one used up!

UU Beauty Works hair oil - pouch packaging meant I sometimes applied too much. Replaced with Lacura one with dropper. If i see another today in store im getting back up.

I think I may UU the Garnier body lotion but everything else will roll over. Also ill get the uses on the nail colour.

Im nearly at the end of my  Niacinamide serum, concealer and tinted moisturiser but have back ups. Im getting to the point wher i wont be able to get my top coat out onto the brush so am getting a new one today.

For some reason February is the month where everything is just being used up!  Few more from the weekend:

Lush Christmas Capybara Bath Bomb - Nice scent, cute bomb, quite cheap for a Lush one.  WBA if it comes back next Christmas.  Oh and despite it being really yellow, it didn't stain the bath!

Westlab Epsom Salts - this was a joint UU between me and DH (used more by him I think) but still counting it.  You can't beat some epsom salts in the bath when you have sore muscles from DIY.

Biossance Copper Peptide Plumping Serum - WBA and already have a replacement ready to go.  Definitely notice a difference in my skin when I've been using this and it works out more cost effective than The Ordinary "dupe".

Also have an IN to report:

Byoma Brightening Serum - have been using the Beauty of Joseon Glow serum and like it but it was OOS from my usual places and the Byoma one was cheaper and I think I need the ceramides in it at the moment as skin is being a bit temperamental.
