Old thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/2801640-Ashamed-of-my-beauty-product-hoard-part-4

My name is kwick and it has been 3 days 8 hours and 20 minutes since I last bought a beauty product...

Kwick and Woodhill that sounds great too!

Cheers Frugal!

I am popping to Liberty with the intention of buying one cleanser for face washing and one balm for taking the makeup off and a shower gel. that will be it - definitely!!!!!

Empty! Boots soltan mousse fake tan. Slapped some tan on my pasty white legs.

Dh pulled a blinder today although increased my stash a bit. Bought me some clarins stretch mark cream and oil. And some sunscreen. He thought I'd need a treat as the preggo hiccups have started and the bump is showing a wee bit. Only a wee bit. And I got a bit freaked about how things are changing last night.

Looking good frugal. I won't post my selfie as a snotty mess with a swollen eye.

You guys rock plum and kwick I think we need badges like blood donation service. Different colours for different amounts of stash reduced.

mint I love lrp sunscreen too. My DS has to avoid sunlight to avoid reactivating his illness so he's an expert now. We use anthelios xl, a hado Labo gel one and a Tony moly mango one. Last 2 from korea or Japan so I order from eBay but worth it I think.
One more empty here (well dropped it and it broke!?!) blusher from benefit, coralista I think? Nearly there with lipsticks so yes need a new list. Any thoughts?

That's a lovely addition to stash em. A keeper! I went crazy on pregnancy things but when you can't have gin, you gotta live somehow!

Wow Pinkie you are so far ahead of the rest of us.
I checked, I have finished just 3/12. Lots of products are almost empty so I will see whether I can catch up by Easter...

And amazing progress with the lipsticks Pinkie.
I hope your eye heals soon!

From my part, some really sobering stats - I have accumulated just as many new products this year as I have used up. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mum will get to go home tomorrow, we are so happy ☀️

I have an empty!
Nip + Fab glycolic pads, I use these pretty sporadically for chemical exfoliation. They work well but are strong sun sensitizers, so it's time to switch to salicylic acid and daily sunscreen.

#12disciples: 4/12 gone!

pinkie when dh came back from nz he bought me some non alcoholic gin. He is a keeper #handsoffmydh haha!!

ememem84 I had no idea you could get non alcoholic gin.

Thank you pinkie

five me neither. It's called seedlip spice 94. It's nice.

em this man just gets better and better! Will look out for that (for afternoon drinking!)

Well in anticipation I have purchased Clinique take the day off balm, got one day left of the Pixi and the new Clinique Vit C cleansing powder and moisturiser booster thing - the booster is added into normal moisturiser and the cleansing powder will replace my cetaphil as a morning cleanse - for "Brightening" purposes!!!!! Cetaphil is almost done - but this will be replaced as a second cleanse at night- I like it!

Downside is the amount of freebies I got was stupid - Brain kept saying - "say no, say no, for the love of god woman step away" - mouth did not comply with these instructions. may think that giving them to someone I know will appreciate them is the way forward!!!!

Used my stretch mark cream and oil today. So far no stretch marks. It's magic 😂😂😂

Used up a Molton brown shower gel. The purple flavour one.

Great progress one and all!

plum let us know how the Clinique vit c thing performs nearly bought that myself the other say

OMG @usernameinfinito you number your empties???? kwick wishes she had thought of that

Okay one empty:

• Superdrug vit e intense moisture cream - intended for face and neck - I actually bought for my scar line on my tummy which gets irritated if not slathered in cream each day - excellent for that, lovely smell, inexpensive but also LOVELY on face. Will defo buy again - but have lots of other products from the range to try out first.

And I forgot I had another empty!! On of my 12 disciples:

• Body Shop mineral and ginger warming mask... very disappointed, bought after Hirons recommended- did not make a dent in my blackheads - much prefer the Biore nose strips and the Korres rose peel thing.

Well Kwik - first morning this morning - also had to buy the month supply as the weeks one was sold out - its nice not sure If I am all glowy but will use solidly for a week and see how we go!! If I can see results will use every morning till finished and then re-asess!

finished the l'occitane almond shower oil this morning, so will need to purchase a new one at lunch - want something that leaves a nice smell - recommendations please??

Usernameinfinito wow, what a list! Fantastic work! You are really onto something here, enjoy your lovely beauty box!

Do any of you lovely ladies use retinol?

Slightly too hardcore for me, I don't. Have heard great things about it though.

Nor me @mintmagnummm - not recommended when TTC

Got to the point today where I just had to bin stuff I've had forever, rarely worn/used and always catch sight of myself in a mirror and think "that's too too much/not right for your skin tone anymore/looks crap". I've hung in to stuff because it was expensive or I used to wear it and love it but have to admit, my mid 50's skin can't take highlighter and grey eye shadow anymore. No point trying to upcycle. Bin.

4 empties here.

Clarins body lotion full size
Clarins Cleanser " " " "
Clarins night lotion 30 ml
Laser wear Clinique free gift excellent product with SPF so goes over moisturiser without spf

Nearly finished a hand cream

You are all doing sooooo well.

A 30 ml Tresemme Shampoo is empty - have no idea where it came from, it was lurking at the back.
L'Oreal Serum, which I picked up in Tesco when I saw everyone was using a serum. It was only when I got it home and put my contact lenses in that I saw it was for young skin --- by no stretch could I say I have young skin. I did like the product though and made my face feel really smooth.

Anyone recommend a good serum for 'mature' skin - OMG I am 60, how did that happen
