Just finished another (I think my last) Chloe miniature perfume from a duty free impulse buy: it was Love Story and I really like it. Not sure I would buy full size but if someone gave me it as a gift i would be very happy. if I buy a full size Chloe perfume at some point, I will get the original....it is lovely and lasts so well on me.

Also binned a Pantene hairspray. It had sat on top of the bathroom cabinet, unused, for years. Got home last week to be shown (by an irate husband) brown "stuff" running down the tiles: the humidity in the bathroom had completely corroded the bottom of the can and the thing had leaked rather badly Blush

Oops!

Badgers is Mr Badgers less irate now?

There are things on top of our bathroom cabinet that only get moved once in a blue moon when I clean the top of it.

Dilli - less irate and more amused now I think....he was mystified at how I hadn't worked out that a damp atmosphere in the bathroom would not be good for a can of hairspray....cant say it even entered my mind that it was a bad place to keep it!

kwick · 21/09/2016 19:51

badgers it would never cross my mind either!!!!

I just put on a pair of socks and my feet completely flared up so I think the allergic reaction I have is down to washing powder - switched over yesterday to Ecover. Fricking hope that does that trick as my skin is raw!!!

kwick · 22/09/2016 19:24

One empty today - a firm favourite (have 3 tubes in stock!!):

  • Kingfisher fennel toothpaste
FrustratedFrugal · 22/09/2016 19:54

I'm on a roll: 9/13 products used up! Two samples (Sensai foundation and Garnier cream), a mini toothpaste and a full-size Degree deodorant. Only Sensai and Degree are worth purchasing - and not now because I already have other similar products.

I am adding to the list some new products that I will include in 12 by Christmas after I'm done with the Halloween challenge.

You are on fire frustrated!!!!

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 22/09/2016 19:55

Wow nice work. My stuff is going forever. However I have a sneaky suspicion I have a primer and leave in conditioner that may be finished this weekend.
Don't mention the 2 new lipsticks.....

kwick · 23/09/2016 07:02

I am so pleased I have finished Etre Belle aloe vera gel (one of my 13 before Halloween)) - when I first started this last summer I really did not like how it has this sticky texture. But I had a flare up near my tummy scar line and I have been slapping this on Grin

kwick · 23/09/2016 07:06

I have only 4 things left on my 13 list but I have not even made a start on the concealer... Hmm I wonder if I can use as foundation...

3 empties here!!!

  • Yves Rocher grapefruit shower gel - not a patch on the Body Shop one... But think it was a BOGOF
  • Yves Rocher almond orange blossom shower gel - nice, I have more in my stash
  • Yves Rocher almond orange blossom body lotion - ditto

Have a great weekend everyone!

MrsDilligaf · 24/09/2016 12:15

Sounds great Grin

I finished the second shade on my Chanel eye quad. The third is almost gone too. The darkest shade, a bitter cocoa brown, will go on for ever but it is the perfect liner shade for my eyes so I don't mind.

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 24/09/2016 15:18

Wow guys. I am determined to wow you all next week as I feel 3 empties coming on!
Also -kwick nice work on a simultaneous body wash/cream finish. A lovely feeling!

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 24/09/2016 16:41

mrsdili that sounds lush. Where did you try that?

MotherofPearl · 24/09/2016 18:38

Oooooh, love the sound of that facial oil.
Kwick, that's almost as satisfying as co-ordinating a simultaneous shampoo/conditioner completion. Always eludes me.
I need you all to stage an intervention! I got a Clarins voucher code in the post and am having a very hard time not using it to replenish The Hoard. Help!

woodhill · 24/09/2016 18:55

I'm doing quite well. I finished a small Clarins shower gel, nearly at end of serum, and body scrub. Body lotions going down.

I'm also wearing make up more and using eyeshadow most days.

Ememem84 · 24/09/2016 20:23

I caved on Monday and out in an order with feel unique. Tigi bedhead shampoo and conditioner arrived today with a new lipstick and an eyeshadow single. And a bunch of free samples.

Shampoo was on offer and it's the nice one I love!!! And there's about a litre of each.

FrustratedFrugal · 25/09/2016 07:47

We wouldn't be hoarders without occasional deeply pleasurable shopping binges Wink

I quite like the general balance of occasional splurges and patient using up. I love cosmetics, enjoy using them, and letting go occasionally in duty-frees, drugstores or Boots, Sephora, and Kiko feels great Grin

I've finished another boring tube of Eucerin moisturizer on my legs. Not worth wrting about and not worth repurchasing - but 10/13 items are gone!

I saw a cheap 2€ Dove shower gel with in the local supermarket and bought it on Friday - I love everything figgy and my wonderful Palmolive fig shower gel is almost gone.

I believe this thread is all about joy - I get a lot of joy from acquiring beauty products and I get a lot of joy using them up - especially, I realise now, if there is a MN thread and a list involved Grin

Happy Sunday everyone!

Oh so much joy opening my box from feel unique!!!

Foot cream used up and in the bin
