Ashamed of my beauty product hoard - Part 3

[MrsDilligaf]

Continuing the good work we started in threads 1 and 2!

Link to thread 2 here

Ooooo frustrated I am getting into Korres - currently have a deoderant and face peel in use and a mask in my stash!!! Enjoy!

Thanks user oh to have a friend that is a make up artist!!!! I would be round hers all the time asking her to give me a smokey eye!

I have an empty - Apple Blossom bath salts - really could not smell the apple at all.

Right ladies here go my empties. I've cleared out my drawer from last few months..... not got very far with Halloween 13 but have these empty beauties.
Face moisturiser from ballantyne spa. Lovely frangipani smell and feels beautiful but gym too far away to buy again!
Lush foundation. Amazing colour match but went off before I finished it.
Niod multi molecular hyaluronic acid. Really great and will buy again when finish current one.
Travel size St tropez fake tan. Gave me eczema!
Barbara daly golden highlighter. Lovely but haven't seen it again.
Absinthe hand cream from body shop. Amazing on my feet. Will buy again
Temple spa aromatherapy night cream. Wow. Love this. It smells amazing and you are meant to inhale the replacing smell before application.

Also have binned some rubbish ones:
A boujois foundation 'nude sensation' too light for me but nice whipped texture. But on me settled into lines and looked odd after a few hours.
Kiko eyeshadow sticks. I continue to search for shadow pens as a holy grail product for commuting!
Terrible Korean eyebrow pencil.
No 7 lip gloss and soap and glory 'sexy mother pucker' lip gloss. I'm too old for picking my hair off my lips on a windy day!
Phew! What a day!

Ooo I am new to this thread and thought it might help with my hoarding issue but I've just seen loads of things mentioned that I'm now convinced I need. Oops.
And I signed up for another beauty box today because there was a groupon. I fear I am beyond help.
I will continue to work through my whole drawer small collection of miniature hand creams while I choose what to order next...

It's my birthday today and dh has replenished my clarins stash! (And used my boots card to collect points) double win.

another where do you get Niod from?
Great progress... love that you collect your empties!!!

Welcome cant!!!

Happy Birthday she!!! Love the Benny and the Jets reference in your name!!!

Dd came home today and needs travel toiletries so took a Clarins cleanser and an exfoliator. I told her to take sun cream. I'm glad I cancelled the beauty box this month. Nearly used up Clinique toner.

kwick from Victoria health. Great products and awesome service. But ignore some of the dubious science chat!
I'm a proper geek collecting them but love going through them to remember faves as I have so many new things hanging around that I forget what I like!
Good work woodhill and cant. We can do it together. I'm having a rough time so spending lots on fragrance but reckon that's better than cosmetics right?!?
Happy birthday shesgot awesome name.

I may have had a little Lush splurge yesterday

I have an empty:

• Superdrug Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser - love this stuff, will replace in due course

Blimey, I have another empty!!

• Loreal Age Perfect cleansing milk, which I tend to use on my second cleanse. I really like this - it contains Salycylic acid and is gentle but effective. Already have a new one in stock

I feel inspired to list out my 12 for Christmas - although have 3 left in 13 for Halloween.

Was thinking last night about the QVC beauty bash that happens in London in February....I really really really want to go and I hear that the freebies are LEGENDARY

I am going to go - purely for research you understand - and if any of you lovely ladies would like to join me we could have a "Beauty Addicts Unite" meeting in the pub afterwards

I'm going to use something up today. Probably foot cream.

I'm off sick (have a stinker of a cold and figure work don't need me snotting and sneezing and moaning) so am going to do a facial and a pedicure. Boots peppermint and marshmallow foot cream. It's nice (probably about a decade old). But I never use it. Also need to remove my gel nails so can use up the remover stuff I have.

Mrs please provide more info on QVC thingamagiggy

Have a look at this

The SECOND the tickets are released I'm buying two!

Ooooo would love that but too far away! Tell us all about it and the samples!

Thanks Mrs, I WISH I could go to that QVC event but sadly not London-based and not easy for me to get away.
I'm still ploughing through my gigantic collection of Clarins minis. Have finished another pink clay masque, and an eye cream. Can't say I've noticed any results from the eye cream, but the masque is lovely.

Mrs looks right up my alley - I want to block the dates in my diary. If you see the tickets come availble please let me know. Thank you

Okay I know that this thread is about using up stuff and not adding to the stash but this was the haul my friend got last year at the beauty bash (which I shall not mention again )

Looks fabulous.

Ditched the foot cream.

Finished a trial size clarins hydra quench moisturiser.

The cold (the snot sneezy type) has made my skin break out and I've been upping my skincare routine.

Finished gel nail remover. And sorted through my make up drawer.

mrsdil oooooooooooooo

OMG mrs sign me up!!!!

Great progress she!

Am resorting to using one of my 13 before Halloween (a concealer) as foundation... it is like the neverending story!!!!

I've got empties!

Have finished the Clinique version of Touche Eclat. I quite liked it but I have a Maybeline one on the go as well and in fairness there isn't much between them coverage wise. I definitely need an undereye concealer - baby related bags and dark circles.

Have also finished 2 of my 12 products for Christmas:
Branche D'Olive shampoo and conditioner. Theses were full size hotel freebies and although nice, I wouldn't repurchase. They are quite expensive and my hair is quite happy with cheap and cheerful shampoo - currently have VO5 Give Me Moisture on the go and my hair seems to behave very well when I use it.

Electric hope you feel better soon
