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!!!!

A Molton Brown gingerlily travel body wash has gone. I liked how it felt, bit sick of the scent. Got two Lush ones open at the mo to get on with!
Omorovicza moor cream cleanser, been using it on and off, wouldnt buy again!

Did have to restrain myself in Aldi today, the advent calendar was is in, i dont need the stuff in it, so left it! Havent seen the makeup dupes though? Quite fancied taking a look at Lacura version of Benefit's They're Real. Who thought of the name Too Legit- sounds like dodgy makeup on a table in a market

Finished a Mane and Tail conditioner, just another couple of goes with the shampoo left and then will gladly bin....feel it is overrated, as did nowt special for my hair...

Have bought a Tigi Bedhead duo which I'm opening up next, got them for an exellent price on All Beauty but still the most I've ever spent on shampoo and conditioner so hope it agrees with me. 🤗

Caggie09. I hear you re: the shampoo stash. It was realising and being slightly ashamed of how much I had stashed in terms of everyday toiletries that inspired me to start the original one of these beauty hoard threads many moons ago! I don't stockpile to the same extent at all and I'm much more mindful about what I acquire now. As well as actively trying to use and enjoy what I do have 😀

Welcome to all the newbies!!!!

@Caggie09 what a lovely stash!!! 

Gorgeous as usual @DragonNoodleCake 😘

@twoblackdogs here you go!!! 🥇

I am delving into my stash to provide stocking fillers for my mum and SIL.
I was also very restrained yesterday in Superdrug and only got myself an eye cream and 3 sachet masks whilst getting more stocking fillers.

I've finished up a heat protection spray for hair, a sukin toner mist, multiple shower gel minis, a younique mascara & a small flowerbomb perfume!

I'm not buying replacements for any & am making do with things from my stash... Until Christmas when I know I'll get skincare & perfume :D

However I have finished a blonde brow gel which needs a replacement.

@twoblackdogs you are my hero! I might have started a Birch Box subscription, thanks to the Black Friday offer

This morning I finished a L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coconut Hair Mask (yes, I looked up Boots to get the name right ). It was pretty much the same as a conditioner, although I have very hard water so it might work differently somewhere with softer water. I liked it, but the tub container was annoying for the shower, so I won't buy it again.

Finished a sunbed tanning accelerator lotion and another handcream I had in the car

Opened my whole Elle calendar.

Really pleased with it.

Cupboards now really bursting, so really no more now!

Notreally, i opened my Elle advent by the sides for a sneaky peek. Its really good, i cant wait. Not long left before i get to rip into it

Last night i used a Hydrating sheet mask from Superdrug. Ergh, it stunk I love a sheet mask, but nope was gross!

Have ended up spending £20 this morning on nail varnish. Then bought a body oil thats meant to help you sleep, will trial tomorrow!

Got this 5ml boss perfume through the Glamour beauty club! Trouble is, i hoard these mini perfume bottles because there too cute! But chuffed, love a freebie

Finished a bar of Simple soap.
I don’t like it as it is boring and smells of sheep, but it does exactly what it is supposed to do, and I will keep repurchasing it.

I also got my 3 Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks, and 5 lip balms from France today. My lips are terrible at the moment, and my usual lip balms do not seem to do the job, so ordered some I used to really like. My DH has said he will happily take one of the lip balms, so I don’t feel too bad.

You do know you are going to end up on the naughty list for opening your calendars !!

Empty!!! Clinique night time moisturiser. Loves this. More than the clarins one I used to use. Less greasy feels lighter but more moisturisey.

Pretty sure I have another one stashed away I bought in a gift set. Seriously hoping to get some gift set bargains in January.

Alicatz66 my DH was absolutely horrified I did it and I had to give the kids a disclaimer- can just imagine waking up on Saturday morning with them having eaten all their chocs in one go!

How nice is Brazilian bum bum cream though, this might be my holy grail of holy grails!

Finished a mini Clarins instant eye makeup remover- my absolute fave, have a slightly bigger but still small bottle lined up to replace it already.

Notreallyhere23 .. I love that Clarins eye make up remover .. I'm using up a mini too !! Best one ever .. but I find the blueNivea one quite good .. I'm trying to go cruelty free as I use up the stash so may try Body Shop one !! .. The Clarins one is amazing though

Oh yes the clarins eye makeup stuff is great. Don’t think I actually have any in the stash.

I do have 5 things of Clinique take the day off. This is equal to the clarins stuff imo.

Easily done @DragonNoodleCake 😘

@Suzyloo I always keep the empties until I can list correctly here then they go in the recycling 🤓

I opened my ASOS calendar in one go this morning - some great stuff in there. I will try and do the Look Fantastic one correctly (so starting tomorrow). Lord knows where the M&S has got to.

@RiskIt4Biscuit what is it that the Simple soap does?

I have 4 empties!!!!

• Body Shop French Grape Seed body scrub 50ml: as scrubs go I quite liked this. Has a spa like smell.
• Body Shop Berry Bon Bon body butter 50ml: not that keen on scent but goes on well
• Lush Bubblegum lip scrub: LOVE this! But as drying out I used up on rest of face and shoulders!!! I will repurchase if I do not get some for Crimbo
• Superdrug B Hyaluronic Acid spray (full size): this is holy grail for me and I will defo repurchase once I have used up all facial sprays in stash

Experiment627 It's just an unscented bar of soap - there's nothing special about it.
I've been trying to avoid a lot of scented products during my pregnancy because of the allergy risk (which may be overstated) and also because I've found I got nauseous from a lot of perfumes, soaps and so on.
The Simple soap has been pretty good, unlike the other products I've tried from the Simple range - the deodorant stick was particularly bad IME.

Just bought the Tili box. Why have i done this when im going to end up with 100 extra products through December? Looked quite good for £12😫 Spent £20 on Superdrug this morning on foundation- but is an essential and 20% off!

One empty today : Garnier Royal honey shampoo. Ahh, i loved it. Even the hairdresser complimented how nice my hair smelt

Empty: clinique day moisturiser.

Another in the stash.

AND today have finished a perfume. Tommy girl. Love this.

Hello lovelies!
I've finished a clarins daily energising cream sample which I really liked, a mini tube of Elemis marine cream - I love this but can't afford to use it as my regular moisturiser, really. Also finished an old ted baker mini perfume, XO I think. It was ok, pretty boring and glad it's gone.
I did t buy myself the M&S advent this year as we are trying to save money but turns out my mum's lovely husband has bought me one!! So I'm very pleased - though it won't help the stash!
I bought my mum a clarins gift for Christmas, it's arrived and has loads of extra samples in the box. Torn between keeping and giving as part of the present...

Finished a perfume, it was a Chloe one. Another annoying packaging, couldn’t turn the sprayer around so was trying to tip it backwards for the last 2 weeks to get it up the tube while not spraying it everywhere I didn’t want it.

Also just finished a pack of this works in transit face cleanser pads-the pads were too small but they smell lovely.

Thought I'd share the clarins stash with you... there's also a beauty flash balm that I've already misplaced - I've probably put it in a box with the other fifty million samples of it I've accumulated over the years!
