Just been enjoying catching up on the threads - work has been busy so not a lot of time for mumsnet.
I was working on 14 for Halloween but had quite a few items still on the list by Halloween so now I'm working on Thirty for Hogmanay.
So my Halloween list was
[X] Max Factor foundation - thrown out, think I'd had it more years than I'd like to admit and it was making my skin sore
[X] Origins Drink Up mask - too fragranced, used up on hands and body
[X]Aromatherapy Associates De-stress body wash - nothing special and too expensive for what it is
[X] Faith in Nature Moisturiser - used up on body, smelled too weird for face
- Indeed Labs exfoliator - c/f to 304H
[X] Elemis PCMC Rich - nice enough but lots of others to use up
[X] This Works - In Transit Camera Close Up - not moisturising enough to use as a mask or moisturiser and made my foundation disappear when used as a primer, also did not like the smell of it.
- L'Oreal Gentle Eye Make Up Remover - c/f to 304H
[X] Urban Reivers perfume - nice enough, only had it as I won it in a raffle though
[X] Aromatherapy Associates Relax Body Oil - didn't really like the smell of this and it's expensive so won't repurchase
[X] Aroma Actives Triple Hydrating Gel Mask - moisturising and inexpensive but contained lots of essential oil which my skin didn't like
12. Malin and Goetz Lip Moisturiser - c/f to 304H
13. Elemis Skin Food oil - c/f to 304H
14. Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel - c/f to 304H
So for my Hogmanay list I've decided not to create a specific list, I've gathered all the products I want finished into a box in my bathroom so they are in front of me and will remind me to use them. Some of them are quite old and I'm fed up seeing them so I just want them used.
I also need to make a serious dent in my stash as I decided to make my own advent calendar, (not my best financial decision in hindsight!) but went a little over the top and I will have about 40 products to add to my stash across December - I just love miniature products.
So I'm a third way through my Hogmanay list
- Faith in Nature tea tree bath and shower gel - bought to counteract my whiffy pits (as a result of natural deo), nice enough but lots to use up.
- Superdrug B Hydrated Facial Spritz - I loved this to begin with but the fragrance in it irritated my skin over time. Moved on to Clinique moisture surge spray which is fragrance free and my skin is a lot happier. Unfortunately it's at least double the price.
3 L'Oreal Eye make up remover - left my eyes dry after using, got another one in stash to use up though.
- Yes to Cucumbers conditioner - a bit too light for my hair but smells nice and didn't irritate my scalp.
- Elemental Herbology overnight souffle sample - my skin likes this a lot more now it's cold than it did in September - very moisturising - but smells like This Works In Transit, so I'm not a fan of smell.
- Royal Jelly body cream - got this for Christmas in 2014, so glad to see the back of it!
- Scholl Velvet Smooth foot soak - liked this - a foot product that doesn't smell of mint or menthol - would repurchase but have other products I can use as foot soak in my stash.
- Liz Earle shampoo - love the smell of this - fresh a bit like apples - it's on my Christmas list.
- Indeed Labs exfoliator - SO glad to see the back of this - it foams and I found it drying, I just don't like washing things off my face with water. It's a white powder in a white bottle so it was impossible to assess how much was left so thought I was almost finished many a time!
10. Soaper Duper Fruity Green Tuberose handwash - didn't like the smell of this - replaced it with the lemon version - think the range dries my hands out though.
Hopefully this will be the first list I manage to finish!
