I have an empty! Full size LRP toleraine moisturiser. I was sent this to try and review, I wasn't too keen at first but since I've been using differin I've found it's been a godsend. I will try to use up some samples next but my skin is a bit sensitive from the medication so will repurchase if needed.

Added 10 mini empties to my 2018 list while away - I actually just chucked the deodorant as the ball just kept sticking

4. Avon balance cream sachet
5. Avon radiance cream sachet
6. Avon hydration cream sachet
7. Mini - Silver hair treatment
8. Mini Rituals shampoo
9. Mini Rituals shower oil
10. Roll on deodorant (aloe)
11. Mini toothpaste
12. L'Oréal hair dye conditioner
13. Redken Hair Oil mini (refill)

Binned some sunscreen. 5 bottles. All open no idea when we bought them. So they’re gone.

We’re hoping to move house in a few weeks (once our place sells) so am trying to declutter.

I've been ploughing on through my stash and finally have a few empties to report
88. M&S Formula sleep cream, 15ml. Loved this, will def purchase again
89. Little angels body cream. Yet another unused baby product....
90. LRP micellar water, travel size
91. Nuxe shower oil, mini
92. Shay & Blue blood oranges perfume, 10ml. Another M&S advent calendar mini, loved it
93. Rimmel nail top coat. An oldie which is past its best & I only use gel top coats these days

My new make up bag arrived yesterday. It’s navy with my name in hot pink shinyness. 😀😊

Some more empties here, all deluxe sample sizes:

42. Balance Me Micellar Water - I found this really over fragranced, not a big fan.

43. Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm - quite pleasant but I have plenty of cleansers that are better!

44. Ren Flash Hydro Boost

45. Ren Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial

46. Crabtree & Evelyn La Source handcream

Unfortunately I've received loads of stuff over Xmas so my stash has definitely increased!

Dreggy bits of a Sainsbury own brand shampoo (apple)
Superdrug Vit E scrub (nice because it doesn't leave a 'coated' feel but the gritty bits (I think walnut shell) are like buffing yerself in gravel)

Near the end of a Formula (M&S) Daycream which I would have replaced but being an intense cheapskate/ Low Spend 2018, I thought I'd try the Superdrug Optimum range while its on BOGOF and......yes its really nice. I'm 51 but pretty good skin so I went for the 40+ ones . Its not heavy or greasy and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and cool.

I'll get the the end of the M&S one this week.

Korres Showergel (Rose something) I liked the feel of it and might try the Vine one or the Fig that is raved about.

Wow everyone is doing so well!!!

Just confessing that I may well stock up on sun cream tomorrow as I am in Spain and if I find the one I like I am going to seize the day!!!

I've used a pixi toner and a full size sanctuary body butter.

I go through phases with using stuff up.

Did anyone see the bbc programme on cosmetics this week

Chloe did you REN 1 min facial smell of mouldy green veg like mushy peas on your face?

Go ahead Kwick

I bought three cans of Batiste last week, it’s going to be a busy year for me, lots of domestic and international trips, and I’ve already lost my zen

No empties yet but really enjoying wearing makeup these days.

Me too frugal which is just as well as I have a ton to use. I’m enjoying making time to do my face every day. I stopped for a while as figured I was on mat leave so it wasn’t important ditto shaving legs but turns out it is important. For mental health anyway. Makes me feel more like me and less like just “Mummy” if you see what I mean.

I have an empty because DD finished it for me Aussie winter conditioner which was nice but not as nice as the tresamme from the £shop which leaves my hair tangle free for two days.
Not much progress here at all. Humph.

I've finished a travel size clarins cleanser, the gel to oil to milk one. It was quite pleasant to use but didn't feel like it left my face very clean.
I'm going to use a travel size C&P next as a special treat. This is what I will repurchase for evening use if I ever use up the rest of my cleanser stash!

I wouldn't say it smelt good woodhill but it didn't smell if mouldy veg!

I have a couple more.

47. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream 15ml. This is nice but can't say it's worth the price tag.

48. Some Sensai sample face cream. The matching serum I was given with it is not yet finished which kind of annoys me as when things are supposed to be used together I want to finish them together Is this just me!? It drives me crazy with the stuff in the shower as DH uses my shampoo but not the conditioner meaning I have bottles of hair used conditioner with no matching shampoo.

Good luck with your trip kwick if it's for what I think it's for

Oh yes!!! Good luck, kwik xx

Yes, good luck from me too kwick

Another empty here - small 16ml Korres Wild Rose Night Cream. Really liked it. Definitely on the short list for the Holy Grail products!

Thank you for all the well wishes 😘

So no bloody sun cream ANYWHERE!!! Most of what I have bought are meds but I may have popped into Sephora and Douglas....

@woodhill I have part seen it but TBH I am not that impressed the moisurising test was not on the types of creams I use.

@chloechloe that is most inconsiderate of DH!!!

I have an empty!

• Ameliorate transforming body lotion: does leave skin soft BUT it stinks 🤢, does not go in that easy and is fricking expensive! I cam think of better ways to spend my money!

I've finished a sachet of Kiehls ultra facial moisturiser. Funnily enough it made my skin sting a little so I wouldn't repurchase. Have another one which I will use up but cautiously!
I think I'm allergic to the mascara in the m&s calendar which is annoying.

@CantChoose what a bugger - which mascara? I am using the Eyeko one currently but this may have come from a different advent.

My lovely friend of mine has sent me a package full of samples... I am in heaven!!!!

It's the Diego dalla palma one, kwik, the full size one. Jest feeling quite itchy and sensitive around my eyes by the end of the day. Didn't wear it today and have been fine. I'll reintroduce to be sure...
How are you getting on wit the eyko one? It's a tubing one isn't it?

@CantChoose it is ok except I always seem to have an accident using it - maybe me, could be the wand. Yes it is in a tube.

I am not doing so well on my 14 by Valentines - which is less than a month away!!!! 10 more products to go, many are makeup- I may have been over ambitious 😬

Another empty for me - Clinique eye cream. When I looked at the list of stuff I used up last year, it seemed I use up eye cream, moisturisers and lipstick. I don't seem to use up much else!

OMG these are taking so long to use, everyday I think this is it but no aaaarrrrggghhh
