Ashamed of my beauty product hoard - part 5

[kwick]

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

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...

Ugh Poke , yes I agree re fish smell (as does some Perricone but finished all that long ago) - plus it stained!

I've just spent the last hour or so clearing off the 4 shelves on the Ikea bathroom whirligig . Now covered in dust but recycling bag (due on Monday) happy and also chucked loads out, took heart from this thread and put in order what to finish.

Now for the long bathroom shelf, but not today.

Well done Selena

I'm off out in town (madness with this cough hanging over me but hey! Life in the fast lane) so I've got smokey lined eyes and a very very very pink matte lip!

Yeah for using full make up 3 nights in a row!

Nice work selena. Hope you're celebrating!
I'm attacking DC products too!
So finished 2x E45, a sun cream and working my way through Boots Derm cream.

Managed to bin a palette on holiday. Blusher really rubbish and highlighter just glitter which is not my look! So finished 2 eye shadows. Which I'm impressed with except got it free with no 7 purchases about 10 years ago so def worth sending to make-up bag in the sky!

Other big news. frugal is proven as a wonder in predicting lipstick usage. Here is my lipstick with only about 5 more wears so finished within 2 days of her prediction!
Other lipstick to be finished is awol. Car maybe?!?
dragon you look fab. Hope it was a good night.

Well done Pinkie! I have never managed to get a lipstick that close to finished!

Way to go selena! Enjoy the decluttered feeling

Very good progress Another

I am actually starting to think about my next day cream as both my bathroom one and travel one are coming to an end... any recommendations?
I was thinking of trying The Ordinary? apparently they have a shop in Spitalfields

Kwick have you ever tried face theory?

I've hit the bottom of my tin of burts bees lemon butter cuticle cream, I LOVE this stuff so will definitely repurchase

Pinkie fantastic progress on your lipstick!!! I'm also almost there with one, hoping finish it by Easter!

Shelves a warm welcome - I think my stash is about the same, three small dresser drawers, one small bathroom cabinet and a shoebox of Korean stuff. We'll keep this thread going for years to come!
Dragon you look fabulous. I love everything about your look, it really suits you!

I've been out in the countryside hiking and working on my book. Minimal cosmetics because everything had to fit into my backpack. I really missed my Narsissist palette - I have started to love its eye brightening shades and dramatic liners.

It's a sunny day here - looking forward to bright lipstick and luscious creamy eye shadow!

And Kwick congrats on panning that shade. That's MAJOR ✨💪🏻🙏🏻

Great work, so jealous of the lipstick finishers!!!!

I finished a Tarte facial oil last night, bought in a Sephora last year and hated it - came out in spots - nice!!! However over the last couple of weeks been using sparingly at night and seems to have been ok!! Glad it's done though was beginning to "bother" !!!

Not much else really the Vit C is going well, reallly liking it - the cream that is added to the moisturiser is meant to last a week for each bottle - may need to start adding to night time routine!!!

Any recommendations for a night time serum? Have Vichy Thermal in the blue bottle but want something for night - was thinking Sunday Riley Luna but then heard the Ordinary was good and a fraction of the price!!

@mintmagnummm no I haven't... what is this Face Theory of which you speak?
I have a Burts Bees in my stash - if you PM me your address I will send it to you

I have heard great things about The Ordinary too plum
Fleur de Force has a whole video on their products on YouTube

I have an empty - Dr Organics Rose Otto face mask. I found the smell a bit strong and did not get amazeballs results, so will not repurchase. I have plenty more masks in my stash!

Lovely day here in Londinium ☀️

I've finished a White Company lavender, neroli & lemon Shower gel. Wonderful product. Great packaging.

Was Builders mate for dh yesterday and cleaned oven yesterday so no make up. Will try today. Off over Easter break and can't be bothered. Make more effort when working.

Morning all! Will read back properly later but just wanted to pop on to update on some hair care empties before I forget!

Finished another trial size Liz Earle shampoo and conditioner. I would repurchase to be honest. And also finally finished an Aussie 3 min miracle intensive conditioner - said bottle has been lurking in the shower for ages so am so glad I've made an effort to finish. I quite like Aussie products but have some other things to try in my stash first. Always on the hunt for those holy grail products that will give me beautiful swishy hair!

Will be back to catch up later!

Should say I would not repurchase the Liz earle. Not I would!

Kwick face theory is a small family British brand with great customer care!! I've been using their relaxing night cream lavender scented (You can choose either unscented or natural lavender) and their signature moisture day cream, you can have either mandarin or unscented. They are reasonably priced too!
They are really thick and creamy and u do have to massage them in a bit but they just melt right into skin leaving no trace!
Go to their website facetheory.com and have a look
Oooh do u mean u have one of those cuticle butters??

Yes @mintmagnummm it has been in my stash for years but you are welcome to it if you want?
Will go and investigate face theory right this minute.

Ha ha, thanks kwick that's really kind of you and I appreciate it but I'm one of these people who won't use something if it's been had a long time lol. I'm a nightmare with dates etc on everything, even if something is off by a day I'll chuck it ha ha but thanks again tho
Let me know if you order anything from them. They send u an email after bout 30 days giving u 20% off next order too

I found a great lipstick for spring in my stash - Chanel Paradis. A peachy coral pink, really light and refreshing. It's funny how changes in light make everything look so different - bright reds look a tad heavy and try-hard, I have a craving for sherbet shades. I also feel nostalgic for light browns and mocha shades - they look heavenly with gray marl and khaki.

Oh God oh God oh God! I like the look of the facetheory website 😐

Ha ha ha ha. If anyone is interested I have the regenacalm from them, I have opened it but haven't used it because I got scared lol (my skin hypersensitive and it's got retinol in it) so if anyone can provide it a good home and would genuinely like it let me know....

Ooh, I'm staying away from Retinol. Scares ME too!

No probs mint! Maybe I should figure out how to use it - any tips?

I am staying away from retinol - not advised when TTC

Kwick I just massage some into cuticles and nails before bed and sometimes during day.
Did you order anything from face theory?
