Beauty Hoarders Anonymous: you have got to be in it to win it!!!

[Experiment627]

Carrying on the great tradition of this thread - where those that are addicted to beauty products come together and support one another!

@LivingDeadGirlUK ooopsie sorry about the thread giving you expensive tastes!
I am using the Boots Your Good Skin day cream & I must say I am really loving it!!! Goes on really well - feels hydrating but light enough for hot weather and has a SPF 30. Really like the gel cleanser too.

M&S Spiced Apple Foam Bath.
This was from Christmas bit shimmery but actually smelled more like cough medicine than Christmas

Korres shampoo/conditioner . Did nought for my hair sadly , I had it hanging about for over a year and thought "Hang It" and dumped the remains .

I'm patiently waiting for an M&S 20% to get a new Aveda Shampure

I am thinking of treating myself to a Space NK splurge for my birthday (more than a month away but I like to be prepared 🤣🤣). Thinking of trying out Briogeo... any of you lovelies tried it?

Empties for the week. Nothing I'll be sorry to see go.
The Clinique Smart Clinical had an unpleasant scent - more cleaning fluid than beauty product.
I'm not sure the No7 Hydrating mask or Lumene oil-cocktail did much.
The Rotuals body scrub was pleasant enough, and I'd happily use again, but I didn't like it enough to buy it.

Two more empties, evolve serum, which I really liked, and another Lumene moisturiser, OK esp with SPF but a bit heavy. Have started an Elemis marine moisturiser today ooooh I love it.

Anyone else really noticing their skin feels better with all this effort to use up product? I am layering up to six things on my face and it feels so so smooth and soft!

@laselvar I had been eyeing up that Lumene oil cocktail (definitely do not need it!) but thanks to your feedback I shall give it a miss.

@Experiment627 - I have used a generous sample tube of Briogeo “Don’t Despair Repair” mask. It was nice, but I have fine hair and it weighed it down a bit. My hair did feel very soft afterwards though.
Also the kale (?) shampoo. Overhyped.

Room for one more?

I have 3 separate friends all selling Body shop at home, so my bathroom has ended up looking like a warehouse. I'm also trying to declutter my house in general, so I'm finding all sorts.

Declutter - a 70% used Body shop Drops of Light face peel. I've been using it on and off, but I'm distinctly underwhelmed and bored, so it's gone.

Empties - Body shop Vitamin E night cream which I loved and will RP at some point, and a Bodyshop Lavender pillow and Body Mist. It was ok but nothing special.

Potentially a couple more empties later this week.

Thanks @Justilou1!!!

Welcome @Seiheiki !!!

I have finished two things! (Yes, just two, I honestly have about three things that are near the end).

Ecooking (is that it? Daft name) trial size moisturizer. This was OK but nothing special.
Guerlian perfume I've been using as air freshener in the downstairs loo.

Damn the preview button!! Typed it all out and lost it all after i clicked back! Anyway as i was saying!!

@Experiment627 Ive tried a few Briogeo bits now, amd ive enjoyed them all. Using the Honey Bear hair mask at te mo, which is nice. The Rose hair oil was nice, frizz milk spray worked wonders on my hair and the charcoal shampoo (was only small) was nice too, but id like to try a full size tp see if it helps my greasy hair!

Also, im not using much up this month! Used up an IGK first class dry shampoo. Only one that really works for me, but at £22/23 its to expensive to shell out on all the time. So a treat buy every now and then or when i get a GWP.

Thanks @Caggie09

So I have a "chuck" to report:

• Ecran Sun lemonoil spray protector SPF 50: love this brand for suncare... hard to find in Blighty. But am chucking this as defo way more than 12 months old and I think past it

A few more empties:

• Medik8 C-Tetra vitamin C serum, sweet smell but another watery serum, I think I prefer gloopier or oilier serums, stupidly I think they feel more potent if they are a bit thicker!

• Tropic vitamin toner pore refining mist (I see I've been getting my vitamins in 😊), well this was inoffensive but didn't notice any pore refining properties.

• Caudalie vinoperfect rafiance serum - a light lotion sort of serum, no idea what it was supposed to do (was in Cult Beauty GWP)and wasn't wowed.

Hello,

Hope all enjoying the sun with our lovely nourished, protected skin !

Garnier 7 day lotion A regular repurchase for me, very effective for my dry skin.

Fresh rose face mask Not sure did anything,

It bye bye make up Loved it, took every scrap of make up off and wasn't drying. A definite repurchase.

Aveda Botanical repair Like it, but keen to try a non Aveda leave in conditioner.
Any recommendations?

• Zelens Z Balance mist. Come to the conclusion that Zelens is overpriced and overrated! Didnt like how it misted out, and didnt feel that refreshing.

• BS Rose Shower gel. I found it pretty boring, i wanted a stronger scent from this. Other than that was a nice lather and felt clean. Would try other BS scents over this one.

• Benefit Gimme Brow mini. Already RP, In a lighter shade though.

• Honey Essence mask. Enjoyed using. If im in TKMaxx, ill probably pick some more up, but a different variety.

Thats all from me for now! Using alot of full size products up, so taking longer to get through them!

It's taken a while because I have been squeezing every last drop out of the tubes, but I have some more empties to report on.....
L'Occitane Shea shower cream - This was very luxurious but I wouldn't repurchase as I am a soap devotee normally.
Ren Revitalising Night Cream - I wasn't keen on the smell of this initially but I got used to it. Also, I bought some Elemis moisturising balm and the smell of that is sooooo offensive that everything else pales in comparison
I've actually grown quite fond of this night cream and might RP once I've used the others in my stash.
Imbue Curl serum - this is a HG product for me and I'd already repurchased another. It does a fabulous job of de-frizzing & defining my curls.
Clinique Take the day off liquid remover - I'm not a fan of this but the Clinique balm is a HG product for me. I have a few of these liquid bottles that were GWP's though and they'll do in an emergency.
Clinique Moisture surge eyes - Couldn't get excited about this and definitely wouldn't RP. TBH, I have never found an eye cream/gel etc that actually does much

Empties!

ZO cleanser. My HG. just started on the Dennis Gross one which is pleasant enough but would rather spend the money on the ZO so I'll go back to that.

Sisley rose serum. It was ok but nothing special. I've started on a mini REN global day protect.

A radox shower gel.

Not many empties this week.
Margaret Dabbs fabulous hands - love this, pleasant citrus smell and absorbs really well.
BYREDO hand cream - expensive, too greasy and didn't like the scent.
Murad prebiotic multi mist - couldn't figure out was this was supposed to do, but pleasant enough spritzed in face during last weeks mini heat wave.

Finished a small bath foam. And a Nivea face mask.

@PomRuns I felt the same about the Fresh mask. Disappointing as I really like the brand.

Empties:

Me! I have a 3 week old baby and do not miss the bump.
Fresh Soy cleanser, slightly odd smell but lovely cleanser. Wont RP as mum treated me to Oskia which smells nicer.
CeraVe hydrating cleanser. Will RP.
Jo Loves Pomelo sample- love this but doesnt last on my skin
Garnier micellar water - too drying wont RP and will stick with oil/balm
Yorkshire soap company - cant remember which scent but love these soaps will RP

Congratulations @Fispi !!!! Hope you and bubba are doing well!!!

@ememem84 do the Nivea masks smell of Nivea? 🧐

Congratulations @Fispi how lovely !

I feel the same about that Jo loves perfume. Love the fragrance too.

Oh how lovely @Fispi! Glad you and baby are doing so well! (Hope you are getting some sleep!!!) Congratulations!!!

Congratulations @Fispi !

My empty of the weekend is a Fresh Black Tea Firming overnight mask; this is lovey and skin feels better in the morning for using it.
