St tropez Gradual tan classic. I really shouldnt use products like this.. I just end up looking streaky😩 I do like the glow and hint of colour it gives though!

John Frieda Detox and repair heat protect. I do like this, but i have othere to use up for now.

S&G Flake away, i prefer a gritty scrub, this isnt as tough as id like. Smells nice, have another one in a stock pile.

Radox soothing rose bath oil. Really good if your on a budget, skin feels soft and its better than a boring bath🥰

Nivea Sun scented shower gel. My second time using a Nivea shower product🙈 Loved this, skin felt nice after use and didnt cause itchiness. Sometimes its the simple products that dont seem to exciting that are fab!

Snow fairy body conditioner. Cracked open a christmas scent. Lovely.

Kate Somervile dermal quench liquid lift. A foam which i didnt expect. Skin seemed in good condition when i used this. Would try more from the brand...

Garnier moistire bomb eye mask. Nice, still woke up with eye bags!

Tulip face mask, nice.

Laura Mercier Foundation primer. Used before, okay. Possibly repurchase..

Revlon foundation.

cheesenpickles · 28/08/2019 17:54

Used up a Laura mercier primer, really liked but want to try a few more out, La Roche Posay moisturiser (likes but want to try others) and on the dregs of my make up revolution primer and Ordinary errr not sure what it's called. Won't repurchase the primer and undecided about the Ordinary stuff yet.

Clarins day moisturiser (jar) done. Another tube in the stash to be used up.

Caggie09 · 02/09/2019 17:27

Pre-ordered the Fortnum and Mason advent! Couldnt help myself!

A mini bottle of Hermes Twilly perfume. A little grannyish for me

Missguided bubble bath. The scent reminds me of something from my childhood. Also lots of bubbles!

Crabtree&Evelyn La source hand cream. Sunk in fast enough. Now using up a rose scented one.

Sally Hansen nail polish remover.

Is it weird that sometimes i admire my stash and feel proud?Blush I get so much enjoyment ratching through it allGrin

ememem84 · 06/09/2019 17:24

TWo chubby benefit eyeliner pencils ditched. Too small for sharpening and ancient so probably shouldn’t use.

Experiment627 · 08/09/2019 07:09

I have two empties:

  • Le petit Marseillais lavender honey shower gel: a lovely friend left me the end of a bottle after she stayed - gorgeous subtle smell, wish we could get in Blighty
  • eyeko lash alert mascara: ok but got quite a lot of spillage

BishopFrownofStThigh · 10/09/2019 13:00

Finished:

Dr Sebach serum repair
Filorga time-filler (sample size)

Don't need (well, want) anything else for a few months now

Experiment627 · 13/09/2019 08:41

I have an "empty"!

  • Beauty Kubes shampoo for oily hair: these are cubes that you mush with water to a paste then appy to hair. My hair liked these only issues: I kept on forgetting to take one into the shower with me and they are quite expensive

Lush Snow Fairy. Will be buying another even though i have one in back up.

Molton brown body wash in pink pepperpod. Didnt lather as well as usual.

Acqua di parma shower gel.

Jo loves bath cologne in pomelo. Nice enough.

Benefit Gimme brow. Was going to repurchase, but its pricey for 3g. So bought a NYX dupe for £6.50. Just as good and saved me ££.

Lacurq paradise power cream. This was from the sol de janiro dupe range. Loved this, would 100% repurchase if it comes back!

Bought myself the ultimate body shop advent too. So trying to use up lots of products to make way before December😊

saucyspice · 15/09/2019 22:38

Have lurked on here for a while but never posted. Seem to be buying more new products than I'm using lately so keen to have a bit of a sort and just repurchase Holy grail products!

Have a few empties today:

Nivea double effect eye make up remover - this will definitely be repurchased as soon as I find it on offer somewhere.

Sanctuary classic hot sugar scrub - liked this but not worth the money and I usually buy fairly cheap brands for body care so will not repurchase.

Jinju cucumber sheet mask - nice and soothing but nothing special and won't repurchase.

Experiment627 · 16/09/2019 15:02

I have an empty:

  • Body Shop Hemp hand cream: I am not a fan. I do not like the smell and quite greasy
  • Kingfisher fennel toothpaste with fluoride: I am back to the non-fluoride one = yay!!!!

I am currently sitting with my feet in foot peeling socks. Hope they help with my awful dry skin.
I have also bought a new hand cream in hope that it will help with my terrible cracked hands. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

No7 eyebrow pencil finished. This one was rubbish. Kept snapping. I’ve used them before and they’ve been fine.

Dd is being a bit of a pita at present growth spurt or something I think. Will. Not. Stop. Fussing.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 21/09/2019 17:17

Finally some empties!

Dove visable effects moisturiser full size. Ok but bit of a funny smell.

Threw away a trio of blue eyshadows from Rimmel. Really old the pigment has all gone.

Also threw away a manky lush massage bar.

Caggie09 · 22/09/2019 19:09

Being by sanctuary chilli mango & Tonka body butter. Really nice, i have 3 other scents in this range to try.

Rituals 10ml karma body cream. Tiny sample, done two legs and a bum cheekGrin Ive never used anything from Ritauls, was nice to try.

Benefit porefessional. I hate this primer now, the texture is awful. Glad to be rid!

Batiste Heat protect spray.

I have ordered the Body Shop Vanilla Pumpkin shower gel and body butter. Didnt need it, but wanted it🙈

RoseyPeas · 28/09/2019 10:43

Pleased to report that I have used up
Dove Cream Bath (quite nice for the price)
Champneys lip balm (pretty old and had gone gritty Shock so have been rubbing it into my feet!)
Amber Solaire sunspray (glad I've finished it as it was a real nuisance to apply!!)

I find reading this thread so motivating - I just need to avoid looking at any special offers as I can't help myself buying replacements so my stash never goes down Blush

Crazybunnylady123 · 28/09/2019 11:10

I am working on reducing my Stash before Christmas. DP has just bought me the Holland and barratt advent calender for part of my Xmas present as always wanted a beauty calendar and most are too pricey.
So hopefully I can use up quite a lot ... here goes. 👍

Caggie09 · 28/09/2019 16:46

I counted my facemasks yesterday... 55Blush Need to use them up!! So a pamper night is in order to use these products up..

@crazybunnylady132, ohh very nice. I quite fancy the h&b one. Will be holding off until black friday though. Enjoy your goodies when its time to crack them doors open!

I lost a lipbalm, does that count as an empty🙈😂

Experiment627 · 30/09/2019 13:43

@Caggie09 I hope the 55 are sachets and not tubs/tubes!

I have some empties:

  • Friendly Soap Shampoo Bar lavender & geranium: actually this is a chuck. Used twice - yuk yuk yuk! Left an awful residue - worse than having unwashed hair!
  • Garnier Micellar cleansing water: ok - handy size that fits in my bathroom cabinet
  • Superdrug B Nourished eye cream: ok and cheap
  • M&S Rose roll-in deodorant: staple

Hair mask used. Palmers one. WAs ok.

woodhill · 30/09/2019 21:23

Used a body shop pomegranate skin cream up. It was ok

woodhill · 30/09/2019 21:24

And Clarins blue perfume

Writersblock2 · 01/10/2019 07:50

I need to join this thread. I’m basically stocking a shop here. Mission before my holiday is to smooth and buff to (im)perfection!

ememem84 · 01/10/2019 11:43

Soap n glory mascara used. Didn’t like it. Probably didn’t finish it. So it went in the bin. Next one plucked from the stash is a max factor one and is brown/black instead of my usual black black. It’s doing the job so far!

saucyspice · 01/10/2019 12:55

Have two more empties!!

Nip & Fab dragons blood plumping mask - this was ok but nothing special and I won't repurchase.

Nip & Fab glycolic acid pads - these were good but definitely prefer pixi glow tonic. Found the pads left my face feeling a bit sticky.

Overall I definitely don't think I'd buy anything Nip & Fab again loads of there products have rave reviews but I've never been wowed by anything I've used!

Writersblock2 · 01/10/2019 13:40

@saucyspice - agreed. I find N&F decidedly mediocre!
