250 ml Aveda Shampure

Gutted because I love this .
So does my DS . He wafts about fragrantly post-shower denying he's used my very distinctive and expensive shampoo.

I will invest in a 1litre with the pump

haven't posted for a while but finally have some empties to report Smile :

Botanics micellar cleanser really liked this, good for my sensitive skin and would buy again.

Dr Organic Moroccan argan oil restorative treatment conditioner took literally years to use this up! too heavy for my fine hair really, and a rather strong perfume. Wouldn't buy again, but probably be OK for thicker hair and you don't mind patchouli!

Kind Natured sea minerals foot cream liked this, lovely minty smell and very moisturising, used overnight.

H2K of Harrogate Vit E bath & shower gel travel size, lovely aroma but bubbles didn't last long, might be better used as a shower gel.

bathroom cabinet beginning to look pleasingly organised...

ememem84 · 23/03/2019 14:35

Keep falling off thread. Oops.

Anyway. Empty!! Finally finished my mega bottle of micellar water. Wahoooo. I didn’t like this so much actually.

Moving back to take the day off (as I accidentally bought about 4 bottles on a boots order!) much nicer!

Also used up a pack of travel face wipes. And a travel toothpaste that had been kicking around for ages. Wahooo

Alicatz66 · 23/03/2019 19:29

Finally finished the giant tub of Soap and Glory Righteous Butter !! It went on for EVER !! I do like the smell but think I will get Body Shop one next time

Alicatz66 · 23/03/2019 19:33

@Experiment627 ... I actually threw something away today as well ... the Moor Cleanser ( beginning with O .. I'm too lazy to try to spell it ) .. I thought it was horrid and I never usually waste things .. DD wouldn't want it either

Caggie09 · 24/03/2019 17:56

Masque bar rose gold foil sheet mask: Lots of serum left over in the packet, skin looked nice this morningSmile Would try more of these masks!

Tub of superdrug moisturiser. I always buy these.

Batiste heat spray. Dont normally "care" about my hair, happy to have a hair mask and have clean hair. But starting to take care of it more. Have 2 more left. Then will try another one!

Experiment627 · 25/03/2019 16:58

I have an empty:

  • Neutrogena hydro boost hand gel cream 75ml: felt drying rather than hydrating 😬

I have a few empties:

With the help of DH used a Murad Age Reform AHA/BHA Exfoliating cleaner- wasn't bad would maybe repurchase at some point
Milk Makeup Lip+Cheek-was creamy and the pink blended pretty nicely

@Experiment627 not good when your hand cream feels Drying (yikes!)

woodhill · 26/03/2019 19:31

1 empty - soap and glory mini body butter, this was a lovely product and nearly used all the same scent mini shower gel up

bobinks · 26/03/2019 23:21

Just finished Dr Organic Rose Otto Restoring Oil Facial Serum - was OK for night time but pretty much a facial oil (less of a serum) and would probably try something less scented next time

woodhill · 27/03/2019 13:04

I'm using that Bobs feels like a facial oil.

Caggie09 · 27/03/2019 13:27

Ive also used that product before Bob & Woodhill Agree its more like an oil!

More empties!

Ren ready steady glow. First few uses it made me spotty, i quite liked it. Wouldbnt repurchase as i bought the Lacura pixi dupe toner. Have 4 toners to use before i use that one anyway🙈

Philip Kingsley body building conditioner. Made my hair silky soft, more runny than i expected though.

Sol de Janerio bum bum cream. I think everyones used this product or given it a whiff at some point. I love it so much i ration it. Ive gone through 2 tubs, have one left and ill be using it sparsely before i repurchase it. £44 for the bigger tub, expensive but ill wait until a discount comes up!

bobinks · 27/03/2019 23:06

woodhill & caggie

I'm using the Botanics face serum atm, hibiscus one I think, and it is really nice - sinks in fast, seems to help with the fine lines and a good price

CantChoose · 28/03/2019 19:43

Hi all, not managing to use much up post baby :/

However, I've finished the full size Sanex 0% shower gel as recommended by the midwife. Having met my milk monster I don't think any amount of scented shower gel would make him not able to find my boobs! I started a new Korres gel this morning and it was bliss.

Hi Ipoke hope all is well with you xx

Experiment627 · 30/03/2019 08:45

I have an "empty":

  • eyeko Black Magic mascara: I always get marks on my undereye when applying this mascara. It has dried up so I am chucking.

I used up a Garnier Micellar water the hugeeee bottle. I noticed mine smelt abit funny, as i was getting close to the bottomConfused Bought another one qs i think its good value. Hope this one is whiff free!

Also time for the bin is Lancome custom strobing drops. Ahhh, i was so excited to try these. I used it as a liquid highlighter, the pay off was good. The bottle just makes a mess, product spills out the sides. Will use my Huda high light pallete nowGrin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/03/2019 18:28

Nearly finished a Korres showergel, I think one more wash in it.

Bought some Noughties hair products last week (even though I didn't actually need more hair stuff, it was on 3for2 and 2 items were for DD . I got a Co-Wash product which I really like , my hair needs something to coat it or it goes very wayward Grin )

Near the end of a BodyShop Ginger Conditioner though

Experiment627 · 31/03/2019 10:04

I have an empty:

  • Citrus Herbs bath and shower gel 250ml: this came from Poundland. A dupe of Jo Malone lime, basil and mandarin but not a patch on the Aldi one.

Caggie09 · 31/03/2019 13:39

Two more things i have!

Dream cream. First time using this, really liked it. Would repurchase.

Being by sanctuary shower burst. Salted caramel and macadamia. Ohh im a sucker for sweet smells! Didnt feel "clean" though using this product. Prefer a gel or an oil to a foam.

Latest in beauty is doing The Times awards, so paid £30 for 6 items. 5 of which are things i was going to repurchase or similar. So well worth it for me!

ememem84 · 31/03/2019 20:55

Dm gave me a max factor eyeliner pencil and a mascara today. So have added them to the stash.

I’m almost done with my eye cream day cream and night cream.

Experiment627 · 02/04/2019 09:07

I have an empty:

  • Heathcote & Ivory: Lavender Fields bathing salts - ok but the bits of lavender not great to clean out of bath

I am chucking Kiko Slin Modernist 2 in 1 foundation & concealer warm rose 30: have not worn this in a year and do not remember it being that great.

Did two pp says they were Space NK top tier members? 👀 Curious to know what birthday gifts you get. I seen on the FAQ's that you have to ring up to get your gift? They havent emailed me yet about my gift, and i really want it😂😩 I was holding out to buy products and get my gift at the same time!

ememem84 · 02/04/2019 21:46

No7 eyebrow pencil finished. Not bad. I bought three of these as I had no7 vouchers and needed them. Will absolutely rebuy when I have more vouchers.

Have about another day/2 days use of my Clinique night cream.

Pennycandy · 02/04/2019 23:38

Finally have a couple of empties!

A travel size Bare Minerals matte liquid lipstick . It wasn't bad not a huge fan of matte lip products though. It had a sweet smell kind of like a bakery item or something lol and applied decently.

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. LOVE this product. Just ordered another one. The black honey color looks pretty dark in the tube but really it's more of a YLBB color. Very pretty and flattering I think for most.

While ordering another Almost Lipstick also purchased a treStiQue color and smudge shadow crayon and a Laura Mercier Cavier Stick Eye Shadow. I had a coupon from Sephora Blush and those items are almost gone, in my defense.

I think I will have a few more empties in the near future at least.
