Finally got an empty - protect and perfect night cream. It is a bit of a staple for me and I've already got two more sitting in the cupboard.

I've finished another little elemis cream - only two left now.
Also finished a sample of elemis lavender face mask. I really wanted to like this - I love elemis, lavender is supposed to be good for spots and it had a nice creamy clay texture. It just didn't seem to do anything... so I wouldn't repurchase.

I have soooo many face masks. Pamper night here (DH is out). Currently working my way through a full size Liz Earle nourishing one and used my Footner socks tonight (not sure if it counts as stash as only bought last month!)

I have two empties:

• Oskia Renaissance mask from advent: ok but no miracle results for moi
• Avon Anew Clinical Lift and Firm eye cream: this has a gel thing for your brown area and a cream for under eyes... bit of a faff and no miracle results here either

I have only 4 items left on my 14 by Valentines list but they are all makeup items so I will not be done in time. I am going to start a new list for. Not sure when Easter is... would that be too ambitious?

Korres Bergamot pear body milk 40ml. Got this in my Amazon luxury beauty box over Christmas. Okay, but nothing wow.

I may actually have to buy some body moisturiser - I think it's all gone!

15 empties since I joined on 21 January! Not bad. Now to work my way through the mountains of face masks, shower gels, soaps, lipsticks, eye shadow pallets etc.

Nice work Engels. Make up is the killer!
This weekend I’ve finished dry shampoo, a Lush shower gel, 2 soaps (proper scraggly ends too so extra satisfying!) and 2 perfume samples. Phew! Also have 4 bottles in my travel bag for this week and will feel very virtuous. Binned a rubbish eyeliner too.

Except have placed Perfume Parlour order, Korean beauty order (for finished things mostly) and just read Lush post so quite tempted to visit one while on holiday! Nooooo

Finished another Molton Brown bauble. The elderflower shimmery one. This one smelled nice. But for some reason was a bugger to get out of the bottle. One more left.

We are moving out of our apartment on 9 March and will be staying with my parents for a bit so will make sure I take all my stash with me. And just go for it while we’re there.

In the mean time am going to have a good sort out.

Palmers self tan moisturiser is gone!

Moving on to half finishes clarins one now.

Then jo Malone grapefruit body moisturiser.

A big 500 ml bottle of Wella / Vidal Sassoon shampoo and a can of coconut Batiste are gone. Very few empties this year as I am using a lot of f/s staples.

Used up a small Clarins facial oil, loved this

Just have finished the last product on my Valentines list. Yay!
One remarkable empty for myself is Pixie lipgloss from advent calendar. I haven’t used lipsticks& glosses for about last 15 years, so that is definitely major for me.

15ml neutrogena concentrated hand cream (rescued from an abandoned handbag).

Have just found a big bottle of after sun that needs using, so guess that's my body moisturiser for a while.

I am so close to finishing a lip balm.

Wow @Strawberryfield12 how did you finish the lip gloss so fast?

Very jel of all the progress.
I have started to write my 12 Disciples list (for Easter)... am very hesitatant to put any make-up items on it - they are so hard to use up!

Dragon was it you who bought the pureology to try? If so how are you getting on with it and how does it compare to your usual redken?

Another empty: a Rituals body cream. Red tube, called Honey Touch from the 2016 advent calendar....have a feeling I got a new one of these (now renamed something else) in the latest calendar. ..which is good because I really like it.

Perfume done. Jo Malone grapefruit. I loved this. The bottle is gone. I still have a few days worth in my atomiser though.

After it’s gone I’ll be using my ever faithful tommy girl.

Another empty - clarins body lotion. I do love this as it’s rich and super moisturising. However it’s in a tube. Which means that when I’ve rubbed some in and need more the tube is slippery!!!

On to jo Malone grapefruit moisturiser next.

54. Omorovicza firming neck cream 15ml. Not sure I'm old enough to need this yet!

I'm feeling proud of myself as Space NK sent me a £15 off code which I didn't use. I'm always such a sucker for discounts. So I've not bought any products at all this year!

Makeup is a killer to finish kwick! I do wish brands would make smaller products. I could easily live off my makeup stash for a few years. I think I'd only need to replace concealer and mascara in the next 3 months but I have enough eye shadow, blusher and eye pencils to become a professional MUA.

A bottle of micellar water (Estonian supermarket brand) used up.

Mine seem to be coming in pairs at the moment!
A balance me body wash, I think it was called super moisturising. It had a herby scent and was pleasant enough but nothing special.
Also a REN night cream. I can't remember what it was called. Again this was ok bug I wouldn't repurchase.

I've got quite a few nearly done ones so watch this space!!

I agree about the make up, kwick, I'm using up a lipstick that I was convinced I'd finish on my 25 for Xmas list. I'll still be using it into June at this rate!!

Ladies tis I, the OP! I fancied a change.

Hoping to report an empty sometime soon...

Today’s empties:

Clarins day moisturiser - travel size
Clarins hand lotion - travel size
Molton Brown elderflower shimmery Christmas bauble shower gel.

Woooooooohooooooooo!!!!!

Well done @ememem84!!!

I have an empty:

• Eyeko Black Magic mascara drama and curl: was in advent, I always have accidents upon application and it flakes

Have finished Zelens eye cream and peeling pads. Nice enough products, but will not be rushing to reorder due to the cost. For the price it would have to do the miracles with my face.

How long is felt tip eye liner supposed to last? Started using one in December and it looks like it is about to end. I do use mascara and eye liner every day, no matter what, but usually liners seem to last for ever anyway. But not to worry, have about three more in a stash...
