No empties but I used the sample of clarins eye make up remover today with my reusable cloth wipes. Nice nice nice.

FiveShelties · 14/01/2017 22:19

Well done user that is a lot of empties.

MotherofPearl · 15/01/2017 07:38

User, that's a great achievement, well done!
Need, do you mean treating or concealing the dark circles? I'm a fan of Clinique's All About Eyes for treating under-eye puffiness and dark circles. For concealing, everyone seems to use touche eclat? I'm the only person on the planet who's not tried it!

Needastrongone · 15/01/2017 13:59

Wow User, that's brilliant.

Sorry, yes I mean concealing dark circles. There's a current thread though on the very subject, so I will read that too!

No empties. Poor selection of smellies at the hotel.

Used S&G hand cream for the first time, and very much liked. Another tick for S&G, I'm feeling the love for the product and price at the minute. Smile

DragonNoodleCake · 15/01/2017 14:18

Wow user well done.

ladies I am sorting/clearing out.
My vanity desk drawer is now making me happy.

However I am perturbed by the 8 yes open Avon super extend liquid eyeliners. Seems I had one in every handbag. 3 black, 2 teal and 3 plum and another unopened black one!!
That's after chucking 2 dried out ones.

Bad dragon

But look how pretty the drawers are!! Good dragon

Its all about balance

Need- I use a yellow corrector under concealer. Currently using one I got in the us, but urban decay do one in the naked range.

A few empties here- another 5 min miracle conditioner which is my staple, so will definitely repurchase.

I also finished a pot of nip and fab dragons blood pads, which I like, but have other to get through first.

Also a couple of minis from my decleor calendar- the eye treatment and a cleanser which was so thick it was like glue.

Off to see La La Land with DD now, enjoy your Sunday everyone

ememem84 · 15/01/2017 14:52

dsis brought me a few minis last night. I benefit porefessional primer, a lip tint, an eye cream and a highlighter. So will add those to my holiday stash.

kwick · 15/01/2017 16:08

Wow dragon!!! Well organised!!!

Soooooooo want to have a bath!!!

applesandpears33 · 15/01/2017 16:47

Well done user - that is quite a list of empties.

I have no empties to report. I'm slowly working my way through products and hope to have a couple of empties to report in the next week or two.

woodhill · 15/01/2017 17:15

I used up an organic surge cream cleanser you use with a cloth, very impressed so have another one ready.

Have bought some nice body shop fruity shower gels at a charity sale but still.

FiveShelties · 15/01/2017 17:47

Ultimate Blends Strength Restorer Shampoo and Condition Sample Sachets used up. I have a few of these, but no idea where they came from. A tub of Natio Spa Body Butter which I really loved has gone - I will repurchase when I have made an impression on the mountain of body moisturiser, which could take a while.

purpleviolet1 · 15/01/2017 20:52

Not been managing to keep up am afraid but just wanted to report I threw away a body shop seaweed exfoliating which I think I've had for 5 years.. it had a funny smell...

Currently using a burts bee facial exfoliator, want to finish it asap! It's ok but not great.

FreeButtonBee · 15/01/2017 21:31

Sleeping pack finished.

Will alternate cheapy Superdrug vitamin E overnight mask and £££££ aromatherapy associates anti aging overnight repair mask. I don't use them every night but they are a nice moisture boost when you have the time/energy. Those will keep me going for a good couple of months I reckon and I can do some nice leisurely research for the next big thing.

Had another bath and used the smelly dragons blood serum for my body again. Looking forward to finishing that. Must try to use it on my legs during the week but too much effort normally.

Everything else is lasting forever.

DragonNoodleCake · 15/01/2017 22:32

Doing well with empties everyone! I have 2 to report:
Redken scalp relief shampoo - love it, a new one is waiting
L'Oréal colour extend conditioner (in the colour box) I always end up with loads of these.

Also based on my clearout today. I have some new and sample stuff that I'd be happy to re-home. See the photo attached (details below) - if you want anything I can send it to you!

  1. mini Lancôme hypnose drama mascara - Already promised to anotherpinkie to try.

  2. Lancôme blush in rose paradis- far too pink for me

  3. Lancôme mini le crayon kohl in black

  4. 2 x Avon glimmersticks eyeliner in blackest black - 1 is still boxed but both new.

  5. Avon matte lipstick sample in perfectly nude

  6. Avon matte lipstick sample in posh petal

  7. Avon gel finish nail polish - red

  8. Avon gel finish nail polish - iceberg white

  9. Avon glow nail polish - plush berry

  10. peach coloured make up bag

Please forgive my ignorance but how are overnight masks supposed to work? I mean do you have to lie on your back all night to stop the gunk getting on your pillows? Confused Help please!!!

Empty - bourjois ultra glam curl mascara. Have about a gazillion more to use up.

ememem84 · 16/01/2017 08:11

Posted too soon.

I like that mascara. It's not too pricey it makes my lashes look longer and doesn't clump and is easy to remove. Smile

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 16/01/2017 13:16

Nice work dragon. Thanks for remembering me. Would love the mascara sample and the lipstick samples look great sizes so if no one else replies, I'd love to try those too cos what I need are more lipsticks!!
Will message my address or collect if I'm passing! Thanks

Finished 2 candles but a few more in stash. They were bath and body works which I have to get off eBay at ££ but best I've ever tried for longevity and throw (is that right word?!) so worth it for an amazing smelling house.

ememem84 · 16/01/2017 13:30

Have bought more clarins eye make up remover ( necessary as mine is running out). And got some more free samples (cleansers, toner and a day moisturiser). Perfect for holidays.

FrustratedFrugal · 16/01/2017 17:56

Ooh loving how organized you are Dragon and what a great idea to share stuff that you don't need!

Mega busy week here, hardly time to sleep.
So I am using up staples on autopilot - a couple of full size ones are nearly gone, and this is also the perfect week for my Max Factor lippy as it does not require touchups after lunch. And I can avoid decision fatigue.

I'm still dry and not shopping, and given how much s* is going on this year that is truly a miracle!

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 16/01/2017 20:08

Good work frugal Flowers hope things get easier soon.

Needastrongone · 16/01/2017 21:25

Frugal. Hope you are okay. Flowers

I am SO desperate to tell you that I've used up my Ton Ford Black Orchid perfume, but it's like the gift that keeps on giving at the minute......
