Finished a Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder.
Love it and already have repurchased.

My mum asked me to buy the it cosmetics iiluminating cc cream for her, so I am packing it along with some samples and travel size products I’m unlikely to use and will send it to her soon.
So far I have packed some Laura Mercier primers and a Clarins day cream, but I probably could find more in my stash.

Caggie09 · 18/06/2019 21:00

Experiment627 · 19/06/2019 15:35

Well i have one empty to report now.. a Nivea lip butter that i opened at the start of the year. Wasnt even near finished, but it went through the washing machine and tumble dryer. So it is no more. Glad really, i was bored of it anywayGrin

Caggie09 · 23/06/2019 18:01

Essie gel couture top coat. Liked this. Essie do the best top coat imo!

Show volume mousse. Crap.

Optrex warming masks. Love these for a night i just want to have a pamper😊

Ikoo thermal treatment hair mask wrap. Loves this, my hair looks really good today. Even if i say so myself😂

One for the bin Yes to cucumbers facial mask. Smells off, time to get rid

Kabloom · 28/06/2019 13:25

Avon Cocoa Butter Hand Cream not a favourite but part of my mum’s stash. Prefer glycerine hand creams.

Jurlique trial rose hand cream. Liked this smell and moisturising qualities.

Molton Brown Pink Peppercorn Body Polisher. Liked this. Not too scratchy and lovely smell but I have a lot of scrubs to use.

Caggie09 · 28/06/2019 20:13

Being my sanctuary salted caramel body lotion. Loved this scent, i have plenty of other products in this scent to sicken myself with🙊

ememem84 · 30/06/2019 21:44

Rose body butter gone.

As is Clinique eye cream.

Have started on a palmers cocoa butter body moisturiser. Yay. Love love this. And it’s cheap as chips. It’s the one I always go back to.

Caggie09 · 03/07/2019 13:33

Loreal clay shampoo. Not keen at all, claims upto 72 hours of none greasy hair. Didnt live up to that..

John Frieda lemon miracle masque sachet. This was really good! The scent was lovely and my hair looks niceSmile

Sally Hansen double duty base coat. Okay, but want a base coat that hardens my nails too.

Clarins blue orchid fave oil. Swear by Clarins oils!

A Zoella body mist.. Only picked them up because there were a pound for a pack pf four.. Okay for spritzing after a shower!

Away on holiday so trying to use up mini shower gels and other small products from M&S advent calendar - Very useful.

I did fill some small bottles with shampoo and conditioner and I think from a reduction in plastic use POV I may do more decanting in future

CantChoose · 05/07/2019 18:52

I’ve finished a REN revitalising night cream. It was nice enough, a bit too heavy for my skin so I wouldn’t repurchase.
I also finished a clarins ultra-Rich body location. It smells like old ladies to me so definitely wouldn’t purchase!

ememem84 · 07/07/2019 21:08

Bar soap (Johnson’s baby) has gone.

STarted a pink peppercorn molton brown mini shower gel.

Experiment627 · 08/07/2019 16:13

I am very behind! I have been a bit busy/Kwicklet rarely lets me catch up.

Two empties:

  • Your good skin soothing micellar water: meh
  • Superdrug Vitamin C brightening eye gel: meh

Pink pepper molton brown shower gel finished. Travel size.

totaltime123 · 10/07/2019 09:03

My hairs gone white after bleaching want it back brown what should I put on it what's safe and cheap did it two days ago it's gone wrong

totaltime123 · 10/07/2019 09:04

It's my fault

IPokeBadgers · 13/07/2019 14:09

Some empties....Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish...this is a bit of staple so I know there is another one on the stash. This is always an option for me if I can get it the right price as in a QVC tsv or the like. Hence the bottle of eyebright. I use it to take off light eye makeup.

The Estée Lauder cleansing foam was lovely and I really enjoyed using in the shower. Again, was part of a gift set so wouldn't pay full price for it.

Have had a few slips lately so have added to my elemis stockpile, cos wanted to try the rose cleansing balm 🤭

I threw away a bronze eyeshadow that had gone manky. So much makeup left to get through.

Caggie09 · 13/07/2019 19:09

BBW peppermint shower gel. Anything minty gets my vote!

Really old Skin therapy hand and foot scrub.

Nivea fresh deodrant. Ergh, crap.

Sisley night cream. Really thick and moisturising. Nice, but probably to expensive for me to buy😊

Mark hill argan oil shampoo and conditioner travel size. I love the smell of these, but the shampoo is to thin for my liking, i use more than i should be to feel like my hair is actually clean.

ememem84 · 15/07/2019 08:11

Molton brown white sandlewoood showergel travel size. Done. Nice smell. Wouldn’t re buy as am trying to reduce single use plastic. But would use again if gifted --Dm I’m looking at you-

woodhill · 18/07/2019 14:25

total did you sort your hair out?

Caggie09 · 18/07/2019 19:42

Love the hint Ememem84Grin

On a mission to use up alot of my skincare and body products before Advent time rolls back around. Im already thinking about them!!

Used up:

Kocostar rose mask. Bit fidly seen as you place the petals all over your face😂

Aussie scentsational conditioning mist. My hair smelt lovely and the scent lasted about 2 days, before it faded. Woudnt repurchase though

Katy Perry Killer Queen perfume. Okay, nothing special..

Avon Lavender bubble bath, smells like a granny lavender, i prefer a sweeter scent. Lots of bubbles and lasted ages. Would repurchase but have plenty to use up!

Experiment627 · 19/07/2019 06:37

Have any of you ladies tried the cleansing sticks? 🧐🧐🧐🧐

My skin is really looking mank at the moment I am thinking about treating myself to an overhaul of products... it is after all my birthday next week....

OP posts:
Caggie09 · 19/07/2019 21:49

Oh treat yourself and share the goodies here so we can see🙊

Ive not tried a cleansing stick, once i use all exfoliators i was thinking of getting a St ives one to try!

Experiment627 · 20/07/2019 11:25

If you insist @Caggie09 😂😂😂😂
So that said any recommendations?

I have an empty:

  • The Body Shop Vitamin E moisture cream: may be one of the reasons my skin is so shite at the moment - this just does not cut it for me
