ememem84 it's cath kidston (I hoard notebooks too!) haha 😂

Alicatz66 · 17/09/2018 21:39

The Liz Earle moisturiser is gone !! Rejoice ! Just threw the empty in the bin ... overpriced and rubbish ... I'm off to Aldi tomorrow for the fake Glam Glow !

AnythingButMagnolia · 17/09/2018 21:45

Alucatz, the Aldi dupe is brilliant. I have the original and can't tell the difference in terms of texture, smell, result. The only thing missing in the Aldi version is actual bits of tea leaves, but they used to annoy me rather so if anything this means I prefer the dupe! I'm off to get another pot tomorrow.

SuzeD29 · 18/09/2018 06:53

bought it yesterday, the pot is huge for only £4.99. Will give it a go after my run this morning, hopefully it's just as good

TheHammaconda · 18/09/2018 07:07

Can I join? I have a bathroom full of unfinished (or unopened) beauty products that I need to get though. I need help!!!!

PurpleNailVarnish · 18/09/2018 10:54

25 & 26 John Frieda Radiant Red shampoo and conditioner
I don't have red hair but I use these when my hair goes blonde in the sun to ensure it doesn't go brassy. It's good and I will buy it again when I need it.

RiskIt4Biscuit · 18/09/2018 11:54

Finished a Guerlain Precious Light pink pearly illuminator - a quite pink but subtle highlighter pen.
I quite liked it but it was very pink, so I found it a bit hard to get to look somewhat natural.
I do have an extra in my stash Blush

RiskIt4Biscuit · 18/09/2018 12:35

I forgot, I also have finished an Urban Decay Chill makeup setting spray.
I don't know if it really did very much so I will not repurchase. I think I prefer Mac Fix+ and I would be more interested in trying the cheaper versions as well.

PurpleNailVarnish · 18/09/2018 12:43

Urban Decay all night setting spray is the one I swear by RiskIt4Biscuit, it sets my makeup fast and stops it running onto my work shirts, though it does smell a bit earthy.

ememem84 · 18/09/2018 21:11

Clarins multi active yeux finished. Not sure about this. It was nice. But I bought it by mistake. As in I thought i was buying something else.

Moving on to a benefit it’s potent eye cream. A mini one. Never used before. So will see how we go.

I don’t have dark circles. But not sure if it’s because of the clarins stuff I use or because I’ve been drinking more water etc.

RiskIt4Biscuit · 18/09/2018 21:23

Thank you PurpleNailVarnish, I will definitely have a look at that!

CantChoose · 18/09/2018 23:28

Hi all!
I've finished a Lancôme attraction perfume - the mini ones like you get in a set on an aeroplane. Not really my thing but acceptable for work.
Also finished a smash box primer mini tube from a beauty box - I have a full size one in the stash as I love this but I have quite a few mini ones to use still.
Also finished LRP effeclar H full size which I really like and would repurchase. I was recently persuaded to try a kiehls moisturiser so have that to use up first, it's a little too light for me at the moment though.
Hope you're all well - I've not been checking in as much, I think because I've used so much stash im making slower progress!

Congratulations! Lovely news. Are you both doing well?

And on a much more mundane front, I've finally got an empty - M&S body lotion. Now I'm on to a much nicer Arran Aromatics lemon one.

PurpleNailVarnish · 19/09/2018 10:32

@Experiment627 CONGRATULATIONS lovely.
How brilliant, best wishes to all of you.

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 19/09/2018 18:57

Found my people, esp @SuzeD29 who has the same dual affliction for make up & stationery

TheHammaconda · 19/09/2018 19:16

Congratulations @Experiment627

Finished a Dyptique moisturiser this morning, have another one ready to go once I get through the rest of my moisturisers but none of them smell as nice.

beanaseireann · 19/09/2018 19:21

Aghhh - I bought Miracle Cream in Aldi thinking it was a good moisturiser.
It's a dupe of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream which I hate!!!Sad

Alicatz66 · 19/09/2018 20:42

Many Congratulations Experiment... lovely news xx

RiskIt4Biscuit · 20/09/2018 10:23

Finished a 30ml Kiehl’s amino acid shampoo. It did nothing for me.
I will however keep the bottle for travelling as it is a great size for shampoo for a few days.

Also finished a Simple bar of soap. I have more of these in the cupboard.
It is unscented and to me, it smells of lamb fat and lanolin, which I don’t like, but I haven’t found any other unscented soap bars in the stores I go to. Other than that, it seems to work, and I will probably keep buying it.

SuzeD29 · 20/09/2018 12:31

Congratulations! 🤗

Finished a balance me congested skin serum and L'Oréal elvive colour protect conditioner this morning. Neither were anything special and won't repurchase
