[Experiment627]

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

Empties:

Jo Malone lime basil mandarin shower gel (mini version)

Brazilian keratin shampoo and conditioner minis. Really rated these. So may buy full size once I’m done with the redken all soft shampoo (which is up next).

today I've finished a 100ml simple protect moisturiser. its my fav and I will repurchase but got a soap and glory plumping moisturiser to use up first.

Have also hit pan on shade 4 of my naked pallet. Woop.

Just dropping in with this as I thought it might be a good idea, apologies of it has been highlighted before...there's a charity called Give & Makeup, where you can send decent unfinished make up and products for redistribution to women in refuges. Check out the details here www.carolinehirons.com/page-give-and-makeup. The guidance says that if make up is in a state that you would be happy to give it to a friend then it is fine to send here (they don't accept mascara and lipgloss). Address is

Give & Makeup
PO Box 855
London W4 4AW

Apologies - I've just seen a note that London address is closed atm but this address can be used instead

Well done @ememem84 !!!!

@sleepwhenidie thank you for this! I give things to a local woman's refuge.

I have two empties:

• L'Occitane almond shower oil and milk concentrate travel size: I like the scent but it has no staying power

I bought the game of thrones palette

@ememem84 I have never seen an episode but I would still LOVE to see a picture of said pallete 😍

kwicklet and I are moving to our new flat today - majority of stuff coming on Wednesday- so exciting times!!!!

Luckily I have a few more empties I may be planning a massive blow out once we are settled

• Nivea in shower moisturiser dry skin: Holy Grail for me - love the smell and the performance will defo repurchase
• Boots coconut and almond conditioner: meh but was vair cheap if I recall
• Mini tub of coconut oil: was using this on Kwicklet until I discovered it made his eczema worse

experiment it’s arriving today or tomorrow hopefully 😍😍

Not an empty, but it will get me well on the way to an empty - has anyone tried Korean Italy Towels? I am super late to the party, but I tried them yesterday. They were a 4 pack for about a fiver from Amazon, and they're like an exfoliating bit but a million times better. I already exfoliate twice a week, so I didn't think they were going to be amazing, but they have really worked. I didn't think they were working at the time as I didn't see skin come off or anything , but my body moisturiser sank in way better after I used it, and my skin feels very soft and smooth and nourished today. Like the moisturiser has been able to sink in really deeply.

I have finished a crabtree and evelyn lavender hand cream. lovely texture but horrible scent!

Not bought anything for the past 2 weeks, which is suprising🙈

Empties are:

▪︎Refreshers shower gel. Smelt nicw and my skin felt soft after use
▪︎Sleepy shower gel from Lush. I love this, i need to repurchase and would like the body lotion to match too. Darent step in a Lush shop though as ill get my ears chewed off🙈😂
▪︎Percy & Reed hair perfume/mist. Awful. Smelt like a mature ladies perfume, and makes your look greasy. I dont get along with this brand.
▪︎Satsuma body butter. Enough for one use, was nice enough.
▪︎Sally Hansen no chip top coat. I must of had this a few years, its finally gone. Another one stashed away.
▪︎Neutrogena hand cream. Quite greasy.
▪︎Aveeno cream. My holy grail for my face. Doesnt trigger my eczema!
▪︎Used up a shade in my HD eyeshadow pallette, got in a LF advent 2 years ago, wasnt going to use but 2 shades work for my brows. Using Benefit Gimme brow then will make a start on another shade out of the pallette

Ahem

Managed to use up a 200 ml shower gel and an aloe body cream this week.

My nuxe eye cream with tube cut off and your good skin night lotion nearly all used.

Finished off a soap bar in the shower this morning... there's the tiniest sliver left but it's no good for washing my body as just breaking into wee bits now. So that's a new soap from the stash into the shower.... fragrance is grapefruit and it's a lovely savon de Marseilles....looking forward to using my chunky new soap later .....I have so much soap! if Brexit ever happens and we have any toiletries shortages, at least I know I will be clean for many many months😁

@ememem84, im not into eyeshadows or GOT, But thats a great looking pallette! Enjoy

Finished up a facial cleanser. -417 re define gel. Really liked this, has tiny little exfoliating things in it which i really liked.

Marshmallow blends Pink Sugar Shower fluff & body butter. Ahh, i loved these so much, the scent was beautiful, my skin felt soft and the body butter was very thick and the scent lingered. Will be repurchasing once im running low on shower products

Thanks caggie it is lovely. I’ve used the pale blue shade and the reds and golds so far. So lovely.

Did I need it? No. But I can’t buy clothes at the moment as they don’t fit (7m pregnant). So......late payday treat?! Or early payday treat?! (Payday is 21st of each month).

Paula's choice toner full size used up.

I've chucked a tea tree treatment from 2001 and some boots bath salts that did nothing in the bath.

Finished a L'Occitane rose shower gel 100ml that was ok but not amazing.

Ive spent around £45/50 on a FabFitFun subscription box🙈 Has some Sol de Janierio goodies which i would of purchased in the future. So warrants my purchase

Nspa vanilla body mist- Used to own lots of body mists, id rather use perfume now. Fine for after a shower to spritz on!

Head & shoulders conditioner. Really liked this, didnt use it on my scalp as makes my hair greasy quickly. Ends of my hair felt soft. Have another in backup

Aromatherapy deep relax bath oil 9ml. Smells like fence paint, really hated the scent. Skin feels soft enough. Jo Malone is my go to for bath oils!

Jo Malone LBM Perfume sample. I love it, i really need to purchase this in full size!

Yes I prefer perfume

Superdrug hand cream all gone

Seem to have loads of perfume

It’s been ages since I’ve been in this thread - I’ve been busy with my now 19 week old baby.

I haven’t used a lot of makeup, but I do have a few empties to report:

Redken Blonde Idol shampoo, 1000ml. I love this, but my DH uses this more than I do as I felt like trying something new and am using Maria Nila at the moment. We have one or two more bottles. It has been discontinued and my DH is surprisingly annoyed about it.

Alpha-H triple action cleanser with thyme. Was good, smelled of new car IMO, but it didn’t do better than Cetaphil. I will not be repurchasing, and I have bought a CeraVe cleanser instead.

Lumene peat to foam cleanser, travel size from advent calendar. This was odd. It comes out brown/peat coloured with bits of peat in. Smells weird but not unpleasant. Does the job. But those bits are just so off-putting... I will not be repurchasing this.

Dove antiperspirant spray. I love this. It works and smells good. Will repurchase.

Maybelline Snapscara mascara. It smudges but most mascaras do on me. I’ll stick to my trusty Catrice tubing mascara.

Superdrug spray anti perspirant (ooh the glamour)
L'Occitane Almond (topped up from the pouch) shower gel but I still have a 500ml pump .

Working through some sample/travel sized skin washes .
Need a new Konjac Sponge but it hasn't fallen apart yet .

Hi!
Hope you're all well :)
I've finished a huge pump dispenser of doublebase - boring but needed using up, I actually quite liked it. It was prescribed for my dad but he got better quickly and didn't need it any more!
Also finished one of those this works three in one face creams - photo ready or something? I started this just after BabyCant was born and it was quite nice to feel like I might look ok even without makeup. Or sleep.
Finished a travel size champneys hand cream too. It was really nice but I don't think they make it any more.

Used up some travel bits and pieces, so more out of my collection!

Nivea invisible anti perspirant- okay, does the job!

Malin and goetz shampoo samples, i likes this, but it smelt like nit shampoo!

Soap and glory sugar crush 75ml body wash. I hate this scent, i really did not like it! Its used up though!
