Ashamed of my beauty product hoard - part 4

[kwick]

My name is kwick and I am a beauty product addict...

Continuing the great work achieved in previous threads - come join us and rejoice in the joy of using (up) beauty products

PinkiePie and ButtonBee hope you will feel better soon

My 'hoard' now occupies one box (unopened) and under the sink (in use)

In my defence, the box also contains razors for DH and DS (I bulk buy the Aldi ones, DH prefers these over any other)

I bought cotton wool pads, a showergel (Original Source one , going away at NY) and deoderant for DS.
I'll dig out any shampoo/condition that needs used up, and take a good heavy duty night cream.
Combining Beauty Hoard with NoSpend/LowSpend 2017, might get there

I got a Bayliss & Harding candle😗

Get well soon free

Dashes in very quickly...I also got a bayliss harding gift set... I feel so ungrateful but I really really don't like the stuff.

I also got a load of lovely smellies - DH stocks me up for the year so I'm very happy.

Hope you have had a peaceful Christmas and a happy new year. Bit busy dashing around for the next few days. Thank you for being my friend this year xx

However I have replaced some of this products and have also been given toiletries for Christmas

That's a lot you have used up. Well done.

I'm also trying to combine using up products with a low spend 2017.

Hi all just checking in. Hope you are the mend, those of you who are ill over Xmas

Just reporting one new empty - tosowoong tea tree essence. Much of a muchness so won't replace, and I can start on my stash of LJH propolis ampoule samples which I love and will replace when they run out.

Finished 11 off my Xmas list, need to make a new list now! Any ideas?

I forgot to add I finally used up a bottle of foundation, 30ml of it!

I definitely need this thread!

I am a make up addict.
I spent £100 in sales today on make up.

I have a four drawer trolley full and five small boxes / inserts full :/ I bloody love it.

My bargains of the day are a cargo eye-shadow palette I got for £13 in tk maxx and maybelline was 3 for 2 in boots so I've stocked up on the 'fit me' foundation and concealer range.

I just can't not buy stuff. It calls my name!

Finished a sample of LRP nutrivic Roche moisturiser. I have showered and eaten toast. Feel much much better now!

Should have added: after my splurge today my goal is to not by any new products until I have used / expired everything I currently have!

woodhill I'm frantically back-pedalling but I would be happy with their candles just not the huge shower gel and watery lotion packs!

Well done username. Wow! But what next.... I have 2 things left on my before 2017 list which will go but we do need another. Is Easter too far?

Welcome welcome cannot pull up a chair. Yes, just push those palettes and brushes onto the chair. We're all friends here! I try to be a user but I fear I'm also a pusher!
Go for red lippie too! I will when I can rouse out of bed!

Oops missed 70 nice work. Other people's cosmetics don't count! But my DH has so little he really doesn't need a shelf.

Ladies there is always ebay for unused, unopened, unwanted beauty products... just saying!

Well done user!

Welcome cannot!!

I think Easter is too far away - goals are more achievable if broken down into milestones - that way we get more motivated as we go (or something like that). I want to focus on make-up in January - going for full on make-up everyday, except perhaps sunday.

Have any of you lovely ladies ever used a Lush body conditioner? Do you apply to wet or dry skin?

Hope you are all feeling better! Some of you are doing so well on the empties!

It was quite good this Christmas as I only got eye shadows from the DC's (shined max factor pallets) but I haven't been down south yet...who knows what is awaiting me there.

Wow what a mountain of empties! Well done everyone!

I've had two pretty great days relaxing. Lots of exercise and rest and not too much food. Still wearing bright lipstick! Trying to finish a couple of boring products before the New Year.

Oh and just like Kwick I feel I am making more progress if I have a short list of products to finish in 1-2 months! I am thinking of #finish5fullsize by end of Jan - plus GlamJan!

This year has been great, my stash is really dwindling and I will have to buy some shampoo soon because I don't have any backups!

frustrated I LOVE #finish5fullsize and GlamJan!!! I will need to choose wisely!

We (my mum, SIL and moi) are off to Kiko tomorrow - all to get foundations and I may get a new red lipstick

I have an empty:

• Balance vitamin C power serum... ok but no miracle happened

Shall we go to valentines/Half term?

I don't tend to make a list but post as I go along.

I will do the make up challenge, I go back to work Tuesday.

I use up lipsticks and pencils but eyeshadow and blushers go on forever

I am chucking a Rimmel professional eyebrow pencil which is pants - does not go on well at all

I have another empty:

• Body Shop wild rose hand cream - very strong scent and felt a bit grainy

Woodhill Valentines or half term is fine! (Coincides with my birthday ) How about #finish5Feb

Kwick Kiko

I am about to hit pan on my Sensai Total Finish powder compact and bought a Max Factor Facefinity compact as a backup People say the two are very similar but Sensai is double the price. I am happy to pay €€ for perfection (and Japanese chemists) but I have been able to replace lots of high end products with less pricey ones without noticeable differences in quality. Hope this one wasn't a miss - using up powder products takes forever.

Infinito wow!!! Well done you.

I've just finished body shop chamomile butter , it was ok, nice for using in the shower but on a morning I prefer frothy or cream!

Talking of lush I've had a product for a year in the fridge.. think it really needs to go...

I have another empty:

• Lanolips 101 ointment - I really liked this

I am chucking Berkeley Square white tea hand cream - do not like smell or consistency and it has a hole in the tube.
