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...

Yes I have @littlepooch - I had 2 baths yesterday!!!! and used a bomb in each!
I really liked the Honey Bee one - very moisturising on the skin and the Cotton Flower one had a lovely scent. Some of the haul can be used up to 6 times!!! Really good value for money.

@IPokeBadgers I am a terrible hoarder - a friend is coming to stage an intervention next Saturday to help me declutter a bit. My focus at the moment are books - I have a lot of "chick lit" which I do not really read anymore and probably should give to charity.

Well done on all the empties!!!

Can I ask how you used the Waitrose baby bottom butter? I have one sitting around and not sure what to do with it. The smell is nice but the texture 😏

Few empties this month:
Trilogy hand cream full size - this was lovely, my MIL send it to me from NZ, may repurchase once I'm done with couple of other HC's
Eucerin eye cream - this was ok, prob won't buy again
Batiste dry shampoo - this is a staple, will be repurchased
Burts bees shower gel - 50 ml size, unusual scent, sort of minty and warming.
Couple of nail varnishes, used them to decorate Easter eggs. That was a massive fail, got annoyed with the result that binned the varnishes, bowls, eggs and other kitchen utensils used in the process 😖

Finished a sample clarins body scrub. Yay.

Wow loads of empties!!!

Ladies you may recall a few months ago I reported that a Dr Organic honey deoderant had gone "mouldy". Now I have a Vitamin E one with the same issue... what do you think? Apologies if this grosses you out!

Mandelinka I've just used up a bottom butter by using it as a cleanser. I rubbed on my face and used a hot flannel to take it off. It worked really well and didn't leave my face feeling dry. The main ingredient is olive oil, it was easier than using a liquid oil in terms of getting the required amount out and not spilling it.
Only drawback for me was it's smell, but sounds like you like it.

Max Factor Raisin is finally gone! A great everyday lipstick, probably purchased 8-10 years ago. Superb quality for the price, definitely worth buying and the third Max Factor lipstick I have finished in the past year. I got a bit bored with it and had a hard time remembering to use it.

My next lipstick to use up will be Chanel Coco Rouge Orchidee. About 50 wears left. It will take a month unless I get sidetracked a lot.

Kwick do you keep it in a damp place? Would storing it in a warm, dry place help?

I only use stick deodorants so not much experience with roll-ons. I love Degree from US drugstores is my all-time fave but Sure is pretty decent too.

@FrustratedFrugal there is loads more you can get out with a brush !!! Just joking - well done!!!

Yep deoderant is in bathroom. I am trying to switch to ones that do bor contain aluminium and silicone etc. Am trying a jason aloe vera stick one now - hopefully that lasts without moulding!

I seem to recall a fellow hoarder loving Burt Bees lemon butter cuticle cream - I have found one in my stash completely untouched, still sealed - PM me if you would like me to send to you.

PS stash is kept in bedroom - so un damp conditions

Trilogy Rosehip oil....used on my heels and elbows as it'd started to smell musty. Won't repurchase.

Oil of Olay Firming Day Cream. Gone but, I do recycle the pots for travel as the labels peel off and they're a light plastic 😊

Really liking the new No7 Serum in the deep pink tube. Has made me look okay-ish in the mornings. We will see....

Kwick that's me! I'm not sure how to pm you?? I'm on the app

kwick are you sure it's mould? Maybe it's dead skin cell build up?

Reporting another empty - dh helped me finish this one. Love boo soft and creamy body smoother - was using it to prevent stretch marks and it worked a treat, got a bit fed up of the scent though so dh offered to use it up on his feet

Great stuff though would recommend for normal body butter use as well, does indeed make your skin silly soft

Just realised i have way too many hair serums/sprays so im going to try and finish a few of the half used bottles - fingers crossed am going to have lots of good hair days next month

@mintmagnummm it is a bit if a faff trying to PM through the app - much easier if you go to the website- which you can still do from your phone.

@mowglik think I might rather it was mould... both are ewouw!!

Ok kwick I'm on website now but still can't work it out lol

@mintmagnummm I have PMed you - you should receive an email telling you I have done so and with a link.

Thanks Kwick I have replied

Thanks oldjoseph,, will give it a go. The scent is pleasant for hands/feet/bottom, not sure how much will I enjoy it on my face. But excited to experiment

Just sorted through my clarins sample and gwp stash. I clearly have a problem..... 😆

Well I bought Biologique Recherché P50 PIGM400 and the Vivant masque thanks to Liberty and various instagram posts!!!

The masque I swear to god looks and smells like marmite - very sticky but God the result is amazing - instant glow and smoothness - didn't have a face mask at the moment so quite happy to have that.

the P50 toner - don't need but will use in conjunction with Nip and Fab glycolic night pads and then repurchase the P50 and not the Nip and Fab.

Started on a Chanel lipstick this morning, after finally finishing a Clinique chubby stick - so quite please with that!!! Hopefully in the final stages of Clinique's foundation stick - love the finish but too many other foundations/CC/BB/tinited moisturisers to get through before repurchase!

@BigStripeyBastard I am very jealous of your stash but appreciate that is not quite in the spirit of the thread 

Great progress @plumstone!!!

Woah bigstripey that's some stash. Good work.

Wow BigStripey - and as a fellow addict, I recognize quite a few products. The upside: if you give them a chance, you'll have lovely soft skin for summer.

I'm done with a Dove Blue Fig shower gel. It was nice and moisturizing but smelled like loo cleaner. Back to Korres after this one.

bigstripey nice stash!
I'm after P50 plum. Was it easy to get?
mandel I used it on my feet. Very soft too!
