Beauty Hoarders anonymous - come join our toil!!!!

[Experiment627]

Continuation of previous threads - come fess up here! We love hearing about stashes but also them being used up!!!!

Thanks. I will look at the smash box one when my stash is reduced. I have a full size REN primer from my advent calendar, and an Estée Lauder illuminating primer to get through, plus two elemis brightened/primers to use too. But the smashbox one is now calling me ...

I also find I use loads of the porefessional so even though it’s good I didn’t stick with it after I tried it.
The smash box one is excellent, you won’t regret it, WellTidy. After you’ve finished all your others, obviously ;)
I use the light one as my primer and just use some of the Clinique pore refining stuff over my nose pores.

I have finished off a bodyshop pumpkin vanila shower gel, I am a bit of a vanila addict and really liked the scent of this. I smell delicious lol.

Chucked half a mini soap and glory body butter - it smelled funky

Finished a Nivea soft body cream

Yeay something to report

@CantChoose you crack me up 😂😂😂 Sixth form gym bag!!!!

@WellTidy I am liking the Prai thing too

I have two empties!!!

• Nuxe Nuxuriance Ultra body cream 30ml: sank in nicely but seemed to be used up very fast; smelll very subtle
• Body Shop Vitamin E gentle facial wash full size: I love this range - no need to replace as have lots of washes in stash

Picked up a shampoo in Aldi as I do not like the herbal essence one I bought before Christmas. Also picked up a night cream as seen a few people on here talking about them and I have never used one before. Maybe it will help with my wintery dry skin.

I'm in!

Promised my DH I'd use up my bathroom stash before buying more.

Is it OK to use v old shampoo & conditioner d'you think? like 5 yo and open?

Joules rose shower gel gone. Yay. On to bar soap now.

That’s two down from my list.

Interesting that we are all finding that we use a lot of product with Porefessional. I asked the Benefit lady in Boots today if this was common, and she said she had never come across it, and that a pea sized amount should be enough.

I will get the smashbox one next, definitely.

I tested some of the Murad serums and eye creams in m and s on the back of my hands today and was really impressed. they are super expensive though, and I have a good 50ml of serum to get through before can buy more. My hands looked great for a while!

@bobkins well I just used my >10 year old shampoo and conditioner and nothing bad happened so I assume it's ok

I've ditched a double wear mascara as I've had it open more than 6 months. I was recommended it by a friend but I don't rate it at all. Very clumpy. Doesn't really smudge admittedly but doesn't look great and was very expensive. I preferred the £2 Rimmel one I was using before! My lovely mum bought me a Lancôme set for Christmas, I really rate their mascara so I'm moving on to one of those. A trial size volume one, can't think of the exact name.

Just realised that based on my normal 3m for a small one 6m for full size, I got a year and a half worth of mascara for Christmas. One less thing to buy on mat leave I guess!
Unless there was one in the M&S calendar I've forgotten about - then it will be even longer!

Welcome @bobinks!!!!

This months Glossybox if anyones interested. Swiftly cancelled as i forgot too!

Garnier ultimate blends balm/mask gone. Liked this would repurchase!

Gearing myself up for a splurge in Duty free next month. I see going to airport as a massive shopping experience. Is it sad im excited just for the Duty Free

That argan hair mask will probably be alright caggie. I get that brand from primark sometimes - just used up one of the hot oil tubes which was quite nice.

Any body shop recommendations? I've got a voucher & don't know what to buy. Got enough body cream for a year so don't need that!

Hello. If this is where I come to use stuff up, then I think I need this

Whatdo you want to know about me? Stash isn’t massive but I get easily distracted...

@tinyradish I like the Body Shop fragrances, particularly vanilla, and there's also a nice pomegranate one. For skincare I like their vitamin C range. I have the vitamin C skin recover and it lasts for ages and does seem to improve the look of your skin.

Empties-wise, I've finished a Body Shop rose fragrance mist , thrown out an ancient Boots 17 lipstick that was lovely neutral colour initially but faded to a bright pink on the lips over time, which I really didn't like, and finished a Superdrug shower gel mini - I get these at Christmas every year and they are great for the gym.

Finished my shampoo and conditioner. Lee Stafford poker straight. And the ysl mascara. Yaaaas.

So that’s another 3 from my list.

Sorry for intruding, I don't really have much to add other than I've used up a soap and I'm onto the next into my stash (3 left but I always buy in bulk anyway). I came onto the thread just to say, every time I see this thread title I always read it as - come and join our time off in lieu

Another empty this morning. Tresseme dry shampoo. Probably sprayed far far too much on this morning to use it up. But it’s gone. On to a Pantene one next.

Body Shop - I like the their hemp hand cream, almond shower gel (not as nice as Occitane, but loads cheaper) and vit c face stuff. I must say though that I have not bought anything for myself from there since about 1989, what I have used will have been presents.

I have an empty - Estée Lauder ANR eye cream. I have another (two?) in the stash so will not replace.

ememem how would you say the tresemme dry shampoo compares to batiste (the only one have ever used)?

well it’s on a par if absolutely buy again. Think cheaper too.

Hello all, can I rejoin? I had a beauty box and a calendar last month and I’m overflowing in products again. I have also joined the no beauty spend thread so this year should see a good reduction in my stash.

I’m going to make a list of 12 to finish this month, will update with list.. love reading about everyone’s empties hope to add mine soon

Thank you for the suggestions :) I must admit, I didn't wait around but instead went ahead & ordered the 'Oils of Life' day cream & facial oil. Helpfully they're nice!

@tinyradish I LOVE their Vitamin E serum in oil

Welcome @DamsonWhine !!!

Welcome @Sitranced !!!

Welcome back @mowglik !!!!

Amazeballs progress ladies!!!!
Wahoo!!!

I have 3 empties:

• Dr Organic Manuka Honey face mask: quite hydrating
• Molton Brown Jasmine & Sun Rose shower gel 100ml: not a fan of scent
• Body Shop British Rose fresh plumping mask sachet: um not sure as just used - face seems much unchanged
