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!!!!

Also wanted to share with the group that last week I got my BFP! I am still in shock lol. Good thing I have been clearing stuff out and now have more room. Will continue to do so.

Wahoo!!!l @Pennycandy !!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Woooo penny!!!

ALSo finished a ysl purple mascara. Love love this. It makes my eyes sort of pop.

Have a reckon black one to use next. But have another ysl in the stash.

Still not finished soap n glory face wash....

Ffs. Revlon

I have two empties:

• Nutrafix jojoba oil shampoo
• Nutrafix almond oil conditioner

I get seduced by the Poundland price but really these are not doing my hair any favours

Clinique night cream finished. Wahooo. I love this. It’s not greasy and my skin feels amazing for it. Plus cheaper than the clarins I was using. Admittedly only by £5 or so but still cheaper. And more in the pot I think.

Aussie 3 min conditioner used plus small Bert bees boy lotion, prairie? Neck cream as well. Small size - great product.

Getting there

Got rid of a this works pillow spray- not sure if thid counts?!

These are my goodies from LiB, im very happy with them

Had a sort through the stash today. Have enough stuff to last for a long while. Am going to make a concerted effort to use stuff up.

On my list:

• the bloody soap and glory face wash
• eye cream - Clinique
• day moisturiser - Clinique
• body butter - mini joules rose flavour
• Bare minerals foundation
• John Frieda frizz ease shampoo and conditioner
• hit pan on another shade in my naked pallet
• simple cleanser

The things I want to use up I’ve put in full view. So they become my go to.

EMPTIES: origins moisturising gel 30ml, part of an m and s beauty box. Loved it, but now starting on my Voyage skin feed, which was part of the Liberty advent calendar.

Also m and s peach and almond bubble bath 500ml for £3 which is a great price, but the Waitrose range is better value.

Finished a small sample bottle of Next 'pink macaroon' perfume - lasted ages but was a bit too 'sweet' for me so wouldn't buy full size.

emem yes why do face washes last for ever? I'm trying to use my current one up but it seems to just keep on going!!!

bob don’t get me wrong I do like the s&g face wash but it’s been almost a year....I’m bored of it now. On the plus side it’s been going on for so long I haven’t used up anything else....

More stuff arrived today.

I did a boots order earlier in the week. I needed eye cream (which I actually found in the stash...!) but if I bought 2 I got a free gift from Clinique. Oops

So I have- a small take the day off, a mini mascara, a lip gloss, a face wash, and a bronzer. All reasonable sizes.

I have three empties!!!

• Aldi No1 hand and body lotion: fab stuff cheap and a dead ringer for Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin
• Aldi No1 hand and body wash: ditto - will certainly restock but until we have moved
• Dr Lipp original nipple balm 4ml: yuk yuk yuk! Tried using this on fingers but hated the consistency so used up on nipples 😳

Two more empties here:

• Laura Ashley Sweet Pea & Freeshia hand cream 30ml: perfecf hand bag size
• Ren V-Cense night cream 15ml: meh - much prefer the M&S one

Seems like there are a lot of empties out there.

I have a few myself:

treStique shadow crayon (which I already have the replacement). I liked it good pigmentation and staying power

Grown Alchemist hydra-restore cream cleanser: l liked it because it's gentle and has a lot of natural ingredients

A bottle of perfume! Rebelle by Rihanna (way before her Fenty Beauty line lol). Wasn't bad I could never smell it on myself, like ever. I thought it was a little heavier scent good for cooler months, so I'm glad its finished up now

So chuffed with my empty: A whole 100ml Vera Wang (the original one) perfume. I love this, and will re-purchase as it is stupidly cheap online now, but I have three full size perfumes in the stash. Next one to use is Roger et Gallet Fleur de Figuier.

BTW, Lidl does a Jo Malone knock off Hand Wash and Hand Lotion too. I haven't tried the hand lotion, but the liquid hand soap is fab. I have the nectarine one and the lime basil and mandarin one. Bought before Christmas for £3.99 each. Never in stock anymore in my local Lidl though.

My face wash lasts forever too. I am using a full size Estee Lauder cream cleanser daily and I swear it has been months. Lovely stuff, but I have a stash of face wash due to M&S beauty box and Liberty advent calendar, and I feel that I need to make better progress through them.

Clinique day moisturiser finished.

Also a powder foundation done.

I really like the nipple balm by Dr. Lipp. Best lip balm ive possibly used! Ive never used it on my nipples though!

Ive been really lazy when it comes to my skincare, feel a minger tbh! But i have got rid of some bits anyway.

Sarah Chapman overnight facial. It smelt really nice and i noticed a difference! Dont think id repurchase it though. Lovely to try.

Burts bees hydrating face mask. I lovw rhe fact it comes in the paper packaging, but it seems there wasnt much serum on it, and it seemed dry.

John Frieda, detox and repair protect spray. Ive used this for a few months now for when i dry my hair, and i love it. It smells nice and it makes my hair feel lovely and soft. Its one of those products thats possibly super pointless, but you darent remove it from your routine incase it goes down hill again! I have one in back and will repurchase more when its on offer again!

Thats all for now!

Just found another empty product lingering!

Nspa pinapple body mist. Nice enough scent, use perfume more than body mist. Habe 5 more body mists to use up, but not a go to anynore

I've finally given up on a few bits of makeup that were lingering in my kit:

Benefit Hello Flawless powder- liked this and used up until just a tiny scrape left in the corners, even though not quite the right colour. Probably won't repurchase as packaging is so clunky.

Clarins blusher, was ancient, hit pan ages ago and I'm not sure it was actually providing any colour any more

Hourglass mascara, really great and I used for far longer than you're supposed to. I'm going to repurchase.

2 boxes of hairdye ( semi permenant and the same shade) now been used .

I fancied the Superfacialist cleansing oil but missed the special offer in Boots , but saw some Micellar Oil Cleanser in Superdrug ( half price) so bought that. My skin is a bit meh , I was ill last week so it needs a boost.

Done a SpaceNK order yesterday. Arrived this morning minus the free birthday gift. There sending me something else out in the post instead!
Got the IGK first class dry shampoo to try. Heard good things, and on a whim picked up the Kate Somerville Dermal quench liquid lift. Looks interesting. Wont be using it for a while though.

Empties;
Happy Naturals argan oil hair mask. I picked this up for 50p, good for a quick hair mask i thought. Not keen at all, think it makes my hair greasy quickly. Used it all up now. Dont think im really keen on Argan products as a whole, the next hair mask im using is also an Argan oil product. So will see if i have problem with that.

Superdrug nose strips. Like these, and they actually removed the gunk!
