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 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Carex Sherbet lemon shower gel, smells like Jelly babies too me. I loved it!

Footner socks used up!

Hi Everyone! I think you are all my spirit animals! Please can I play too? I will do a stocktake of my stash today (used to work in the industry, so it’s not small) and upload photos. In the interests of transparency, I have already offloaded most to my teenage daughters already, and I still have way too much!!! I live in Australia, so some products may be different here.

Aldi face cream gone (but I have two more in stock)
Original Source showegel - Lime . Cheap'n'cherrful, usually £1 . Good for work mornings when I need a shower to wake me but I don't want to waste anything nice at work

I thought my M&S Radience Peel was empty but it has at least another dose in. Used it today .

Un dug some Superdrug Trichology shampoo/conditioner that I bought when my scalp was being an arse . Discovered why I had shoved it into the back of the cupboard . Might divert it to DS (who doesn't mind what he uses)

There's a Shea Butter Mask and a Gianno Umberto Mask with one dose each so they'll go soon.

I'm mustering up the enthusiasm to empty two boxes of Superdrug dye onto my sad little barnett .........

Nivea Age defying hand cream. Think ive had this for about 4 years. Sunk in quickly and the smell was pleasent. Trying to remember to pop handcream on more, to take of them with extra washing!

Drunk Elephant b-hydra 8ml. Already have full size in back up.

Drunk Elephant F balm Waterfacial night mask.. I dont feel like this done much for me, i think the Korres rose one is more effective. It says to use 4-5 pumps, which is alot of product, feels to heavy when you put that much on, also stung parts of my face which is suprising considering there is no "nasties" in it. Got it as part of a GWP. Wouldnt repurchase.

Fresh Soy cleanser. Smells of cucumber but too pricey for a face wash. Having said that I've just bought Drunk Elephant Jelly cleanser, along with more stuff from SpaceNK as I got my birthday treat.

Thanks for the tip @LivingDeadGirlUK

Welcome @justilou1 !!!

Some major progress!!! Well done!!!

BioEffect day serum. Didnt mind using it, didnt excite me though.

Actually just remembered that the Ordinary has a very good clay mask with salicylic acid too! I have t tried it because it’s always sold out where I live! (I still suggest bunging extra salicylic acid on first to chew up what’s in the pores - even leaving overnight if your skin isn’t too sensitive, then mask)

Sorry! That was a reply for someone else!!!

Finally finished a Molton brown handwash that has been on the go for donkeys, I always have a bar soap on the go as well and tend to alternate what I use.

Also finished an Elemis skin nourishing shower gel. Would probably buy again if it was part of a QVC TSV....that's the only way I ever buy elemis... Too tight to pay full price for it. Oh, and an Elemis PCMC night cream....not full size.

Due to bad skin that I think is caused by stress I have bought a few eucerin products as think I need to strip back to unfragranced/simpler products for a while...miss my lovely bits and bobs but need to get this calmed down ☹️

Having DH wfh is making it much harder to organise and photograph my stash than I thought! I will get there eventually. Might have to do it in stages!!!

Hi everyone! Just checking in really. I keep forgetting to update, though I’m hoarding all my empties to exchange at John Lewis post lockdown.
Hope you’re all coping ok!
I can’t remember remember what I last posted about to be honest.
I’ve finished an aveeno baby moisturiser and childs farm one. These were MiniCant’s but I cut them open to use the end bits.
Also finished a full sized Liz Earle toner and have opened a new one. I don’t think I have any in the stash now so I’ll have to decide what to use next. I’ve never been that bothered about toner types to be honest, they all seem much the same.
Finished a fairly big sample tube of nip n fab kale moisuriser. I was surprised by this and really liked it so would repurchase. I’m surprisingly short of day moisturiser now. Only a few tiny Elemis marine samples left. I’ve just started a giant oil of u/Olay (can’t ever remember which it is now) spf moisturiser which is ancient but seems ok and will last quite a while anyway.

Also thought I’d report that my skin is the best it’s been in ages. Presumably as I haven’t really work make up for a few weeks

@LivingDeadGirlUK our ‘local’ body shop person has posted in the local Facebook groups About buying the hand creams and she has said she’s not making any commission from it. I wonder whether that’s just her or universal though and also whether it still contributes towards their selling targets...

@CantChoose yeah they will still run it through their accounts even if they drop the price so they aren't making commission. The lady I used to buy off of would use part of her commission to offer free postage to people, this obviously didn't make her any money so she went on a recruiting campaign, cos when your onto a looser the best thing to do is drag some more people in too!

Anyway don't want to derail the thread and I'm due my next Body Shop rant in a few days when I finish this Shea handcream . I've only 3 shower gels, 2 body butters and a body lotion left to use and I promise to shut up after that!

Just as a warning, I've some Neils Yard in the stash too :D

Hi all! I've sold a few bits on eBay and finished a 5 pack of dr Dennis gross peel pads. I've repurchased too.

Keep on rubbing and scrubbing everybody!

Palmers cocoa butter moisturiser finished. I couldn’t get any more out of the bottle (pump one) so chopped it open four days ago.

Dh and I have both been using it.

And now it’s gone. Yay. I love this stuff though so nice and moisturising.

But I have a ton of others to use.

Inspired by the body shop chat will probably use a body butter I have in the stash. I love the pink grapefruit one. Or raspberry. Or mango. Generally only buy when on crazy sale though as they are expensive!!!!

@ememem84 I find pump bottles really annoying as there’s always so much left in. I’ve got a few in the cupboard that I can’t face throwing out but they’re too hard to cut. The flexible ones are ok. Maybe I’ll get a hacksaw out 😆

I stabbed at it with scissors and hacked it up. On occasion I have been known to use the bread knife......

@IPokeBadgers hope your skin calms down soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Ooooo I wonder what Violet said!!!!

@ememem84 🪓🪓🪓

Ok so my mum has lots of stuff --that I may have left here~ that is near to the end so my empties list is not a true reflection of my real use but I am using the lockdown as an excuse to really get through her and my stuff!

• Bioderma sensibio micellar solution: I used to think this is way better than the much cheaper Garnier one... now I am not so sure
• Philip Kingsley weightless shampoo: was in an advent, LOVE the smell but not great with my oily roots
• Yves Rocher Jardins de Monde Almond shower cream: not a strong enough almond smell
• J&J baby shampoo: was diluted with water as really the dregs - ok but I am not using on DS

Another empty!!!!

• Body Shop Shea hand cream 30ml: not keen on smell but nice cream

Empty no. 17 🚮 The Organic Pharmacy Deodorant Spray (50 ml; £13.21).

A pale yellow liquid with an intense lemon and rosemary scent in a spray bottle. The expiry was short due to all-natural ingredients (9 months), but I managed to use it up within 6 months. Stings a lot when applied on damaged or irritated skin, doesn’t keep body odour at bay during even mild exercise. I was left very disappointed, because all the online reviews gave it 5 stars ☹️

A total number of products left in the deodorant category: 1 full-size product, and it is my HG! Hooray! 🥳
