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...

I went past the Body Shop on Friday but it was closed so I could only gaze at the mojito range through the window! Which was probably just as well for my bank balance!

lifeistooshort three moisturisers - umm well, I went a bit over the top, I bought two LRP Toleraine moisturisers as they have been discontinued and then a Eucerin one that has similar ingredients to see what it's like. So I must not buy any more now!

I'm not making progress with fiveforsummer either, one tiny empty not on that list, omorovicza eye cream sample sachet, was nothing special.

Oh Sorry I forgot lifeistooshort vitamin c serum, I have been using Melano CC Age Spot Beauty Essence for just over two weeks, I got mine from Amazon UK from a Japanese seller, so it does take 3-4 weeks to arrive, but I like it, it's a watery texture and smells like fizzy orange. Other than that I know The Ordinary do a few different vitamin c products but I've never tried them but they get a lot of love on other threads.

Hello all.

Been a bit quiet as had a lot going on. I'm still trying to get through my 5 for summer products but not sure I will finish the last 3.

I have 2 empties though - a travel size Bliss face wash and a full size body shop Moroccan rose perfume.

I was VERY good today. I went to the big Tesco in the next town and stood looking at the soaper duper stuff for about 10 minutes before walking away. I really don't need any more shower gel, body lotion etc but it was sooooooo hard to resist!

I have an out!

I've finished a pro collagen cream cleanser from Elemis. It was nice but I wouldn't pay full price for it. Now moving on the pro collagen balm.

frustrated- your holiday sounds amazing!

@mintmagnummm I did and liked it... funny how products work differently on different people or I have a terrible memory!

You are very strong @littlepooch

Two empties to report!!

• Yves Rocher almond and orange blossom shower gel 400 ml, have another in my stash but do not plan to repurchase - so many more fish in the sea!
• Yves Rocher almond and orange blossom body lotion 200 ml - no more in stash. Goes to show how little I use body lotion. TBH I am so lazy I think I will try and use more in shower ones going forward.

Oh ok Kwick thats good.

1. Betty Jackson lavender bath gel, ok, present received years ago

Making good progress but received a gift today consisting of Huile Prodigieuse, Nuxe shower gel, Nuxe body lotion, 3 x 10ml l'occitane handcreams, Aveeno shampoo and 5 x Nuxe testers

Fab gift but not helping with the body lotion and handcream mountain!

Btw can you lovely ladies please tell me what I can do with Huile Prodigieuse other than use it as a body moisturiser

Uh oh... I have no empties (other than another small bath bomb I gave to the kids) but bought 6 new products today (mostly inexpensive though!)
Nip+fab tummy fix 100ml, 2x witch overnight clearing serum 50ml, 1xwitch blemish stick and 2x nivea anti age sunscreens 50ml.
They were mostly on offer though! Still, 4 of my 5 for summer products left to work on. I am very close on 2 of them.

3/5 empties!
Eau thermal body wash
Aussie Miracle Shampoo
Umberto Gianni Conditioner (got another three washes after cutting the top off!)

I have 2 empties:

• Superdrug B. confident hyaluronic acid facial spritz: LOVED this. Very moisturising and I have just discovered that if you have sunburn in a hard to reach place, this can be very helpful. I have a replacement at the ready back at home.
• Aussie 3 minute miracle reconstructor for damaged hair (travel size): I really liked this - did not cause an oil slick and left my hair nice and soft.

Sadly still very behind on my #5forsummer list

Hello again, Iris :) I swear I'm not following you from the other thread. How did you like the Aussie shampoo? I use the 3 minute miracle and love it. I used to only buy conditioners in salons and I feel the 3 minute miracle is just as good if not better.

Went to the local Tesco this morning and they have 1/3 discount on all Soaper dooper products. Just saying! :)

Have got rid of travel size Clinique mascara. Have used it for few weeks, so feel it can go now.

So we have 13 days left for the 5 challenge! I'll do my best to get it done, but there might be something left to finish off past the deadline.

I thought i was the only one who did this. I am so ashamed of my cupboards full of trial products, hotel freebies and duplicates of things I had already bought but forgotten about!

Finally I have another empty! The second of my Summer 5- Body shop vitamin E body butter. I do really like this but won't repurchase as I have enough body lotion and body butter in my stash to last a very long time. I'll replace it with an already open body shop vanilla body butter!

The next three to be used:
Aussie Miracle shampoo (500ml)
Aussie Miracle conditioner (250ml)
Bayliss & Harding Lavender body wash (200ml)

Another empty - clinique dramatically different moisturiser. I like clinique products but only buy them when I can get a gwp, so I have loads of their moisturisers. I quite liked it, but not sure I'd pay full price for it, even though I used to buy it and wear it all the time.

Hi again
I've been seriously awol - got a few empties

Someone asked about Aveda be curly - all a bit meh apart from the curl cream which is fab. I find the boots curl cream fine for day to day.

I have got a lot of shower gels and soap bars to work through. (superdrug not helping)

Wow amazeballs progress!!

My meagre addition:

• Emma Hardie amazing face moringa cleansing balm 15ml: so glad I got a trial size as whilst ok at cleansing - I did not like the smell nor taste (why does stuff always get into my mouth???). I think coconut oil is the way to go!!!

I had five of the tiny clarins hydraquench moisturiser sample tubes which I cut open and scraped ino a little tin. I have now finished the tin.
Does that count as one empty or five? 😃

Defo 5 stripey

I have finished 2 full size body lotions... I should get adoration tan more often :)

I have finished an Avon Anew lip product you put under lipstick and a Vichy tiny serum, I am nearly through my loccitaine small lemon verbena shower gel and body lotion. NO7 nighttime handcream using up last tiny bit. Slow progress.

I feel lousy today. Headache and nausea. Feel dizzy, not good.

wood get well soon and and

I just tried the Lipstick Queen frog princess - barely can see the colour on my lips

Cannot wait to get home - could do with a nice soak and bed!!! Just hopee no delays with flight etc

Nice progress people. I'm in awe!
I'm still battling with a never ending lipstick. Good grief. Every day since April and still loads left. No 7 must have magic powers!
