I had to buy body lotion at the end. Two for four pounds at superdrug. It was nice to select just a couple Smile

I finished a Dove shower gel but didn't like it, was a gift. Did order my beauty box this month and bought some nice shower gels in M&S.

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 01/09/2016 16:01

kwick superdrug is the undoing of me! So lovely and cheap except when you spend £100 on make up. Agh. Good luck for pregnancy tests. IVF must be rough.
I too hoard my empties in manner of youtuber! Why??
Plan to get back to kondo-ing now I have a spare shelf to put things away in neatly.

kwick · 01/09/2016 18:39

I want to be a You Tube blogger have you seen how much you can make????- think I will start hoarding empties too!!!

usernameinfinito · 01/09/2016 22:07

Two more empties: L Lolita Lempicka 50ml perfume (had it for years!) and a pink KIKO lipliner. Would like to buy another KIKO lipliner (soft and lovely) but I have a MUA one I have to finish first (the texture is horrible).

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 02/09/2016 07:26

Nice work user perfumes seem to take ages
How much kwick? Asking for a friend! I do like talking to myself.

kwick · 02/09/2016 07:52

So another it depends on how many subscribers you have and how many views... You can actually see You Tube videos about it. Popular youtubers anywhere from $4k/month!!!!!

Ememem84 · 02/09/2016 10:38

Finished aussi conditioner this morning. Yay! Still have the shampoo left though.

kwick · 02/09/2016 15:18

My friend got me a load of beauty products for my birthday!!!! So lovely of her!!!

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 02/09/2016 22:01

Happy birthday kwick. I find it really hard to be grateful for smelly gifts. My MIL is pretty bad for that: 4 pack hand creams every year. And always a too-sweet perfume. Phew. Takes all year to get through!
Nice work ememem Aussie conditioner on my list too!

CoolCarrie · 03/09/2016 02:55

Finished huge tub of Astral recommend by mumsnetters, brilliant, haven't used it for years, but my skin loved it. Used on body and face every night, will buy again, after I've finished all thr other body lotions and potions lurking above the sink! 😀 Hope to finish S & G shower stuff this morning!

kwick · 03/09/2016 11:49

Thanks another! I should have said it was a belated birthday present.

cool I will take note of Astral... I have a stash that will last a long while though Hmm

kwick · 03/09/2016 12:16

Nearly half way there on my 13 by Halloween!!

Nice work kwick. I am at standstill. How much does a tube of touche eclat hold? Realise it is over 10 years old as bought with first proper job wage when I thought that was the done thing! I'm sure I shouldn't be using it although seems fine!

IPokeBadgers · 05/09/2016 09:27

Finished a Marks & Spencer shower gel: had it in the stash for a very long time, I don't think they do it any more. It was one of the Global Escape ones in Cherry Blossom fragrance. I bought it because thought it was an ok cheap dupe for the L'occitane cherry blossom shower gel at a squillion times the price. It was fine, no doubt bought on offer as I rarely buy anything in M&S at full price.

dogdaydisaster · 06/09/2016 15:17

A couple opf make up empties here. Finished a Physicians Formula double ended concealer. one end had yellow pigment for my dark circles, the other end was a normal concealer. I had opened it after buying it in the US, and liked it so instantly bought another.

I also finished a Tarte mascara - the lights camera lashes double ended one with a teeny brush for the lower lids. I like tarte mascaras (especially tarteist) but the little brush was a waste of time.

Slow progress on everything else.....

FrustratedFrugal · 06/09/2016 15:45

I've finished a Benefit Dandelion blusher that I have had since 2003 Blush I hit pan years ago but it took several months to finish what was left.

Will not repurchase. The shade was a tiny bit off and there are so many other blushers that I'd rather use.

#4/13 gone!

FrustratedFrugal · 06/09/2016 15:46

Dogday I own that Physician's formula concealer too and may even have finished it!

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 06/09/2016 17:32

Wow frustrated I've never heard of anyone ever finishing a benefit blusher or bronzer!
I've heard of Physicians formula dogday is it just in USA and worth it?

FreeButtonBee · 06/09/2016 17:47

Not much to report here as I am just back at work and trying to get used to getting out the door looking presentable for 7.55. I need to do a good tidy up of toiletries and see what I have/need to use up. Oh almost finished a LJH honey essence (Korean beauty buy). It's nothing special but once I've finished it I can used my lovely lovely Miss Flower and Mr Honey oil essence. That'll be my third bottle. It's so lovely and smells heavenly. And not tooo expensive.

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 06/09/2016 19:38

Is it cheating to change my Halloween list a bit? Found a few very summery thing so want to use instead? Except will be lotions rather than make up which is what I need to use up!

FrustratedFrugal · 06/09/2016 19:51

Pinkie of course you can change things on your list!! The main thing is the huge satisfaction of finishing up a bunch of things that are cluttering up your drawers!

I am almost there with two lipsticks, but on a day to day basis the summery bright one wins every morning Grin

Kwick amazing progress, I'm Envy
Bee isn't it great to be able to revert to a product you really like!

crookedhooker · 06/09/2016 21:02

Cheap Tesco Conditioner gone it was OK but probably won't repurchase. Avon skin so soft body cream again OK but I've eleventy million others as is the saying in out house. All good. Sadly Bare Minerals lippy bit the dust well DS bit the top off and decorated the bathroom with it. Sobs into pillow.

usernameinfinito · 07/09/2016 11:40

Finished a small bottle of hair oil, I am so happy it's gone, I won't re buy. I don't have more left.

Flamingoteaparty · 07/09/2016 14:03

Ahhh I thought I was alone in my stash of toiletries and make up!
I'll join in. Have finished a tube of Weleda Skin Food this morning.
(But just received a 15 item Kiko deliveryBlush)
