No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries April 2025

• e.l.f. Stay All Night Setting Mist 80ML:  Like this, has a nice mister.  Gone back to the Revolution Hydrate & Fix one as it's a bit more economical
• Lily Lolo- Mineral Corrector in Peepo:  Yellow powder colour corrector. Woah, apparently this is not on my spreadsheet as an IN and I checked my inbox and aside from the replacement I bought last month, I last ordered this in 2020….. I can't have used it that whole time….. I mean you only need a little bit and it lasts ages, but it cannot last 5 years! :-P  Lets see how long the new one lasts!

Oh, and hit a pan in Shroud's It's Freakin Bats eyeshadow palette, in shade Handbook- a yellow-green shimmer.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the JSS products @Hodgepodge - I think the Matinee Gel cleanser isn't really working for me which is a shame as I loved the original Aftershow one for so long.  

And that's great customer service @VALM, hope the replacement doesn't have the same packaging issues.

Have a few UU's to report:

Imbue Mousse - WNBA, this kind of flaked off my hair as it dried... enough said really!

Cantu Define and Shine Custard - was ok but couldn't get it to spread properly throughout my hair so ended up with really defined and lovely curls in some sections and then really flat bits in others.  Think I'm going to go back to Lush Curl Power once I've finished my JVN Air Dry Cream

JVN Scalp Repair Oil - this was a mini size that I got as a freebie somewhere and it was actually quite nice for helping my scalp which was freaking out after using some shampoo that wasn't my usual

Kebelo Clarifying Shampoo - WNBA, this was another freebie that I just wanted to use up and yeah it was a little too harsh for my scalp

Aveda Botanical Repair Hair Mask - this was a mini from the M&S advent calendar and was ok, didn't see any amazing results from it.  WNBA.

Garnier Invisible Serum SPF 50+ - WBA, really like this but got through it so quickly.  Have replaced with the SKIN1004 centella one.


Also have a couple of IN's to list as well, thanks to recycling stuff at Boots:

NYX Epic Wear eyliner - my UD Perversion one is starting to dry out and thought I'd give the cheaper version a go

NYX Control Freak brow gel - sometimes I need a little more than the Glossier Boy Brow and have another Etude House brow pencil to use so needed some brow gel to go with it.  Again picked up thanks to recycling stuff at Boots.

@rubi_eskimo Have you tried the Aftershow cleanser for sensitive skin? I loved it just as much as the original aftershow cleanser.

I purchased some items yesterday:-
I'm at the point with my bottle of Nail Envy where I can't get sufficient product on the brush so bought a new Essie base coat while food shopping in Sainsbury's. There is a 3for2 offer across all cosmetics and as I knew I wanted to try the Maybelline Fit Me powder I got this and a new Essie nail colour called Playful and Rebellious. The powder therefore was free.

I also ordered a new tube of ABC body lotion from Amazon using a gift card.

Superfood Facial Oil - Elemis - Facial Oil - a beautiful facial oil but does not beat my all time favourite of Neal's Yard Frankincense Facial Oil. WMBA.

Lotus Flower Treatment Cream - Emma Hardie - Moisturiser - not a bad product just did not feel the love. WNBA.

Hydrate The Mist - Jordan Samuel Skin - Toner - a nice mist but wasn't blown away. Like other mists more. Have another in my stash which was a freebie. WMBA.

2 more UUs

KVD Tattoo Liner - this was a HG however Im a bit miffed that this one didnt last as long as usual. I usually get 12 months daily use from this bit this time its been 9 months. Think ill look for cheaper alternative.

ABC body lotion - HG - repurchased at weekend.
