My name is kwick and it has been 7 days and 20 minutes since I last bought a beauty product…. but actually was trying to buy some stuff from The Ordinary yesterday and they were out of stock

Oooo sponge I have not!!! Must look this out on my next Lush splurge.

Welcome ineed!!! I too am on a quest for a good moisturiser although cleansers I am now sorted on (let me know if you would like me to share my favs).

Thanks strawberry - empties are like buses actually I had a lot of stuff especially for my holiday and have been hell bent on using up. I find skin products easier than make-up, wjich just goes on FOREVER!!!

I have another two empties:

• Khanya Q10 concentrated firming anti-wrinke capsules: got these in Spain in May. Feel much like a capsule of vitamin E... think I might just use that in future
• Thalgo Exception eyes and lips sample tube: did not like at all on lips, did not use on eyes as I am trying to get rid of sores

BTW seeing as I have done really well with using up stuff... well I thought I would treat myself to a splurge at The Ordinary!!!!!!! So excited!!!!!

Yes please do share!

Here you go Ineed some of my current favourites:

• superdrug vitamin E hot cloth cleanser
• superdrug natural radiance (or something similar) hot cloth cleanser
• lush ultrabland
• bioderma micellar water (pink one)
• coconut oil

Some more empties:

• Sanctuary Spa wet skin moisture miracle 50ml: got free with a magazine, really impressed only concern towel stainage/grease but seeing as I was in a hotel
• Dr Darren Mckeown aha active radiance cleanser: has been discontinued and I only have two more bottles left in stash 😩 this is great at dealing with occasional spots and KP!!!!
• Oral B travel size toothpaste

Well done Strawberry! Sending post yoga glow to the thread!
Because of plenty of sheet masking and sleep masking, I've needed very little makeup over the past week. No foundation, just sunscreen, plus Yves Rocher Rose Somptueux on my lips and a mix of two shades from the Nars blusher palette on my cheeks. Less is more!

frustrated you do yoga with lipstick on??? Wow you are a glam puss! You look great BTW!

ineed I would also recommend the Loreal Age Perfect cleansing milk - remove with a hot cloth.

Just sinned 🙄 at duty free and bought a Korres lavender shower gel...

Sounds like a really lovely shower gel though. Let us know maybe? I do yoga with lipstick on...

And I don't count stuff like shower gel, as you use it anyway. Not a special effort, just routine hygiene. Does that help the guilt?

Nah the lipstick is just a stain left over from lunch. I'm never not wearing lipstick. When I lived in Italy, people went for a run and to the gym with a full face of freshly applied makeup

I went to the dentist the other day and she noticed that my jaw muscles were really tense. I found and want to share it because a) 5 mins of exercises really help release tension, b) she looks amazing at 58 and c) they will crack you up

Kwick you are powering through your stash

Korres is not sinning btw - as long as you don't have a huge glut of shower products hoarded up it's fine. I am soon going to finish a big bottle of Santorini Vine and have really enjoyed it!

Looking fab frugal as always.

Ladies I've gone pink! Just for the hell of it!

Dragon you look 🔥
Loving that pink!

Sheet masking again last night (snuggled up cozily during a thunderstorm), MBD Bird's Nest, woke up with fab feeling skin!

Wow ladies looking good. Will try to get inspired to do some yoga tonight! Me too strawberry so need to get moving.
kwick so good you like Dr Darren's stuff. He's a friend and will love to be mentioned on MN! I will ask if he has any more tucked away!

Used up 2 favourites this morning: Bougois healthy mix foundation and Niod photography fluid. Will repurchase both but have 3 foundations in mean time! Also finished a LRP facial spf spray. Amazing thin spray but didn't last very long so not sure if a winner.
Interestingly I bought a Latest in Beauty box which contained some real hyped up products such as Oribe dry spray and queen of Hungary mist. Nothing really worth hype so far but lovely to try for not very much money.

Finished an ancient Barry m pale pink liquid eyeliner.

Another empty - number 7 protect and perfect hand cream. I quite like this - it has spf 15 in it and soaks in nicely. Not surprisingly, there was another one in the stash waiting to be used.

I have used up the remnants of a herbal essences conditioner thats been hanging around in the cupboard for ages- one more big bottle out the way!

I've just used up a No 7 hand cream which was good plus astral body lotion

Great look dragon!!!

another please tell Dr Darren that I LOVE ❤️ his stuff and tell him I am well it is not sold anymore!!!! Well I never!!!

Great progress ladies!!!

And another empty! A small bottle of tea tea oil (blended with almond oil). Not super exciting though.

Have finally used up the baby oil bottle, which was on my 12 list, was couple of times I considered to pour it down the drain how tired of it I was. Still one last item to go and I am done with the list.

Have also used Madara cosmetics small size Detox mask - must be great for oily skin, but leaves mine too dry - and Madara night cream and that one I liked. With that my Madara stash is almost depleted. But I have booked a flight to Riga in October...

On yoga front I did some on Saturday, but today some friends stopped over, so I let it slip... They left early enough, but I just wasn't in the mood after a relaxed bbq al fresco.

I have used the remains of a Dermalogica sebum clearing masque, that must have been at least 5 yrs old.... Those who wear lippie for yoga, as I do, I wear it, and earrings, for working down the allotment too! .

strawberry well done on using up baby oil. What did you use it for? In the end I used mine on my scar line.

I went to a lovely Yin Yoga and Meditation class yesterday evening sans lipstick and earrings - what is the world coming to!!!!

First day back at work after lovely holiday 😐

Kwick hope you're surviving the first day back!

Empty no. 34 here. Elave sensitive intensive cream. Second of the baby emollients bought for DCs eczema prone skin and never used. Boring in the extreme - no scent and took a lot of rubbing in. Will treat myself to something a bit more luxurious next

Hope work is ok Kwick and you have a treat lined up to cope... I keep seeing things on here I haven't come accross, and I want them, which isn't really the point . I sucuumbed to the no7 offer, with the freebie box. Bought 2 nailvarnishes, which I am low on, and this is the cheapest way to get the box. Have kept the mascara, and the plummy coloured nail varnish, eyeshadow and brush will go to DD/DSD. Does anyone want the 3£ off voucher they gave me?. Used with the offer, it would mean my nail varnishes would have cost about £9, and then got the box of extras free.

May have caved yesterday and bought the bare minerals eyeshadow pallette....

Oops. sorry not sorry

On the use up front I'm pretty sure I'm coming close to the end of my clarins stash....
