Beauty Hoarders anonymous - you have got to be in it to win it!!!!

New Year, new thread!!!! Continuing the great work already started!!!

This thread is for those that LOVE beauty products... so much so they hoard them, and covet them and behold the beauty that they contain 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I've finished an evelyn and crabtree LA source hand cream, its ok but not too keen on smell. Moving onto a bodyshop pumpkin spice one, even though I've been pretty gobsmacked by the Bodyshop at home (and other MLMs to be fair) 'raising money for our nurses O_o' Ie getting people to send them money to buy products (and I bet they aint donating their commision!). Shame as the pumpkin spice scent is lovely.

An Aussie 3 minute miracle. Luckily I have a replacement. I always come back to it.

I'd love to join this thread!! I am an absolute beauty addict with an utterly shameful collection.
Today I took delivery of 21 different products from Mac, becca, nars, too faced, Laura mercier, it cosmetics, Estée Lauder & hd brows! And I still was browsing cult beauty this evening!

Welcome salvamea

Welcome @salvamea! Ive been highly motivated by this thread and got some empties lately as well: hada labo sheet mask and l’occitane deluxe sample body cream. Also put a strongly perfumed Lush shower gel I don’t like into new use - using it as hand soap now . Thinking could maybe use some excess shampoos to wash the loo.

Close to finishing Ordinary vitamin C cream, which I won’t repurchase, as well as travel size Clinique hydrating jelly. Won’t repurchase that either as I really didn’t find it all that hydrating.

I've chucked a Soap and Glory 'mist you madly' body mist thats developed a strange after smell. Got some impulse ones to use up next.

Used up a Balance Me eye cream. Got another one to replace it.

Laura Ashley lemon shower gel gone in the last few days

And a litre of prosecco bath bubbles. Really gloopy almost like jelly. I let ds pour it into their bath (by their I mean ds and Dd). Ds is 2.5. We had a lot of bubbles today. We used pretty much the last quarter of the bottle. Dd (8m) loved all the bubbles. Literally went nuts splashing around.

Hi can I join?

I’ve got a case of empties I’ve been saving for my blog -that I haven’t updated for 2 years-

Welcome to @salvamea and @BunnytheBee !!!!

My hands are raw with all the washing.... trying out a cream I fot for Kwicklet's eczema that did not work on him... only Kwicklet has this thing about sticking his finger into any cream I am using 🙄

@LivingDeadGirlUK the Dragon Fruit shampoo and conditioner arrived and I used it yesterday- so far so good! Thanks for the recommendation!

The realisation has hit that I will never get through my make up stash especially as I have not worn any in days 😂😂😂

My face feels awful... I think I may need to rethink my regime

A few empties today, full size Regenerate toothpaste, I got a sample in a beauty advent calendar and have repurchased several times, really feel my teeth are much smoother and cleaner when I use this

Trial size of Rituals oil for body and hair - nice but strong coconut smell
Anastasia clear brow gel - fine, not much you can say about it!
Philosophy raspberry and cream hand cream - nice smell and sinks in well
Espa overnight facial oil - really like this, skin feels smooth in the morning
Caudalie purifying toner - slightly astringent don’t think I’d re purchase
Dr Botanicals pomegranate eye serum - have thrown this away as I used it for a few days and it really stung my eyes
Estée Lauder night repair and night repair eye - like both of these, but so expensive

BubbleT sheet mask. Ive used two and i really like them. If i cone across id repurchase.

Treated myself to the Elemis TSV.Ive fallen in love with the bath milks, so whenever i see a set with one in ill be purchasing.

Experiment What scent FOB shampoo dod you go for, and what colour? I really want to give it ago once ive used my shampoos up!

Also By terry rose lipbalm. Used this up pretty quickly. Moved onto EOS, its crap though!

@Caggie09 I went for Dragon Fruit - basically hair was ok for a day and a half... wish I could get one that works for two whole days and not get an itchy scalp
Maybe it will work better over time...

Yay! A litre bottle of Kerastase shampoo gone! I've got half of my yellow neutraliser to use up and another bottle ordered.

I've been using my new Aussie and it's so runny. It's the new bottle so I guess they've changed the formula. Time to switch I think but I'm not sure what to. Any recommendations for bleached balayage will be welcome.

I've also ordered some peel pads even though I haven't finished my REN one. I need to stop doing that.

Soap n glory travel showergel gone.

Dove deodourant

Benefit pen eyeliner.

Ok I used up....
Hotel chocolat body butter
A stretch mark cream I had from my first pregnancy. It smelt of oranges.
Cougar beauty snake venom face mask

But I bought myself....
Love Boo Mummy Bath Soak
Love Boo Mummy Stretch Mark cream
And a dry body brush

Three in and three out!

Not much happening here atm 😞 I thought being stuck at home would make me more disciplined with my personal care routine, but somehow I have no energy/motivation to pamper myself. My makeup usage came to a complete halt, too. I doubt I will meet the goals which I set at the beginning of this year.

Now I wish I didn’t acquire anything in the beginning of 2020 (I bought 5 products, and received 1 GWP). With that in mind I have decided to put further restrictions on my purchases, and move from a low-buy to a replacement only no-buy with a permission to purchase non-replacement products only during the month of November to take advantage of Black Friday.

I hope everyone stays safe! ❤️

I’m continuing with my normal routine, including make up every day. I don’t normally go out as I’m disabled so life hasn’t changed that much for me

I’ve finished a full size Nip and Fab body cream, a regular for me, a trial size caudalie foam cleanser, not that keen, sample size Erno Laszlo hydration lotion, which was a bit too small to test really, and trial size philosophy cranberry medley hand cream, which is very nice and moisturising

Emptied a freebie sample size shaving cream. Won’t repurchase as I honestly don’t see the added value of using shaving cream. I shave in the shower and the water seems to be all that is needed.

Also started using two of my lanolin cream tubes as nappy cream for my DS. I have purchased those to be used as lip balm, and I do like it for that purpose. But it lasts forever and the first tube isn’t even close to finish, so why on earth have I already bought a second one probably close to one year ago (I know, because it’s from a webshop and thought I wouldn’t make another order before I run out...as if..). Have lots of other lip balms too..

Started using my DSs bepanthen cream for my face, to get rid of an almost empty tube hanging around the bathroom. I bought it in the autumn when he had a rash and haven’t used it sense. The cap is missing too, so need to get rid of it soon. Makes a pretty good face cream actually!

Two today, a trial size of Ameliorate body lotion, I’ve had this before in a beauty box and think it works well but has a strange smell

An exfoliating coffee scrub, which didn’t seem to do much really

@Experiment627 and @Caggie09 I've started trying the aloe vera conditioner with the dragon fruit shampoo and its nicer on the scalp, steer clear of the tea tree shampoo its quite harsh.

Oh thanks! I seen they do festive scents too, so that intrugues me!

A sample of Viva La Juicy. These little samples are too easy to accumulate. I tend to forget about them. Ive repurposed an empty Jo Malone candle and stuck them all in there.
Also ordered Dior Poison Girl and Elie Saab Girl of now, i do love collecting perfumes🙈

Been gifted 4 Rodial Glamolash Mascaras, reading the reviews online, they dont seem that good! My stash of mascaras mean i shouldnt have to repurchase for another 2 and half years!

Hope everyone is still safe & well

Ok so I have been bad, I like the love boo products so much I ordered the oil, body wash and bust cream too.
But I have organised my face masks and plan to finish up at least three pretty soon as they are mostly empty. Have also collected all my small bottles of body lotion together to use them up during lock down.

Another giant pile of empties!
