Two empties:

TO glycolic acid. Love this but I have two Lacura healthy glow Pixie dupes to use next so won't repurchase for a while.

And a foot cream called Foot Finish which is really good, but I won't rebuy until I've used up all the other foot cream in the house, of which I'm sure there must be at least four!

Congrats @Fispi!

Two more empties, both from LF AC.
Rodial cleansing water, bit meh, prefer wash off cleanser
This Works deep sleep body cocoon, love this, yes it on my hands at bedtime, already RP.

Just reporting empties:

  • Anjou deep cleansing nose pore strips: great dupe for Biore and so much cheaper. They need a bit more water to stick but work well.
  • Sanex dermo moisturising shower gel: absolutely fine but will not RP as Kwicklet poured copious amounts in to his bath as it runs well and foams a lot 🙈🙈🙈
  • Evolve Hyaluronic Serum 200: from H&B advent. Really liked this - think I would give HG status except don't like smell - a bit too fermented green muck for me

[quote Experiment627 ]@ememem84 do the Nivea masks smell of Nivea? 🧐[/quote]
Yes - didnt like. but needed to use up.

ememem84 · 21/06/2021 15:05

fispi congratulations! i remember that empty feeling so well! (although have absolutely no desires to have another!)

clary i love This works body cocoon. so yummmmmy.

Caggie09 · 21/06/2021 16:34

Just the one from me.

•Byredo Bal d'afrique body lotion. This was a splurge for me. Love the perfume, so wanted a boujee body lotion. Was lovely and it made me feel good aswell as soft. Id probably only ever RP as a treat. But, i have about 50 body products to work through at the mo. I am sad its gone though!Flowers

Another empty, Omorovicza Silver Skin Saviour; this was in the LF advent and I quite liked it but not sure it did very much. I have had better face masks, liking an Elemis facial peel one at the moment.

SlatternIsMyMiddleName · 22/06/2021 21:58

Despite using products left, right and centre - no empties to report.

I am enjoying reading your reviews though.

ememem84 · 22/06/2021 22:02

Two empties:

Sample size clarins primer
Wishful honey balm moisturiser - also
Sample size.

Loved the moisturiser. Thick but not greasy. Smells amazing. Wasn’t sure if it was face or body. Only thought this as I slathered it on my face. It is face though. Might repurchase but have a gazillion other face moisturisers to get through first.

FreshFaceTime · 23/06/2021 07:35

@VanGoghsDog how do you rate the Lacura pixi? I really like using it but have never used actual pixi glow so nothing to compare it to.

Seems OK, it's years since I used the original though so not sure I can compare. I like the TO one better as it's simple and unperfumed.

Need to use up the Lacura ones though.

Experiment627 · 23/06/2021 10:39

So I have cleared out some of my make-up:

  • Cristian Dior Diorific 020 Brun Big Bang - this lipstick has been discontinued... I have another in my stash.. and this one smells off... also I think the colour is not that great on me anymore
  • PS..Pro longwear finishing powder - this Primark powder is nearly done and was just okay...time for a new one from the stash
  • Essence You better work eye primer: cheap as chips and did help but is now smelling funny
  • Sleek Solstice highlighting palette: I hit pan on one of them and it is just looking a bit rank but great value for money

Also one empty:

  • Eco denta organic anti-plaque toothpaste: this was in the H&B advent. I quite liked this but am back with to my Kingfisher Fennel.

I started a smashbox primer this morning. Am
Really enjoying it.

ememem84 · 24/06/2021 08:46

Coffee scrub used up. Now I smell like a cappuccino.

Also a bar soap dsis gave me. Citrus bergamot mint.

Experiment627 · 24/06/2021 09:14

Broke out an Urban Decay eye primer but eyes are watering and it is a fekker to apply... this is when it hits home how stupid it is to stash make up cos it goes off!!!

@ememem84 - now you’re going to attract hipsters 😆

ememem84 · 24/06/2021 10:39

@justilou1 noooooo!

SlatternIsMyMiddleName · 24/06/2021 16:13

I can’t bear anything coffee smelling. I don’t drink it or even have it in the house. Citrus bergamot mint sounds like it smells divine.

Ponks · 24/06/2021 23:50

Hmmm agree with Slattern that the citrus bergamot mint sounds a lot more appealing than coffee!

This week's empties:

  • Kate Somerville retinol vitamin c moisturiser, this felt lovely on the skin and smelt divine but won't RP as not super-wow and is £££
  • Kate Somerville Delikate moisturiser sample, lovely and soothing, tempting to buy it but if I were going to be spendy I'd probably go for Sunday Riley Ice instead.
  • Tropic Elixir Oil , been adding couple of drops to my moisturiser and love the effect. Would consider RP but have a couple of other oils to use first.

Have caved and ordered a new , completely unnecessary, moisturiser so as one pot is finished another will soon be arriving.. what can I say, was having a bad week.

Caggie09 · 25/06/2021 18:28

Two empties to report.

• Tan Luxe Super Glow body. 80ml. Recent HG for me.

• Calvin Klein Reveal perfume. So glad this has gone!! Been working on it for a week. Not really a scent id go for though. Very tempted to buy a new perfume, i fancy a new summer scent, so might treat myself! (Treat myself, as if i dont alwaysShockGrin)

Experiment627 · 25/06/2021 19:18

I may have bought a new eyeshadow palette today 🙈🙈🙈🙈 but seriously have nothing like it already & I already love it!!!

OP posts:
SlatternIsMyMiddleName · 25/06/2021 20:05

Ooooh, where is the eyeshadow palette from?

ememem84 · 25/06/2021 20:49

@SlatternIsMyMiddleName

I can’t bear anything coffee smelling. I don’t drink it or even have it in the house. Citrus bergamot mint sounds like it smells divine.
It did. And made locally to me as well.

Currently lounging in a bath with some locally handcrafted lavendar bath salts. These came in a wee mesh bag. Last time I used them the bits of lavender stayed around the bath and Dh thought we had bugs.

This time I’ve put the whole thing in. Tied the bag up and have caught the lavender flowers in it. Clever.

So that’s gone. As is a Colgate charcoal whitening toothpaste. And some lavender oil.

@SlatternIsMyMiddleName Makeup Revolution... only £6 and such lovely colours!!! Here let me take a photo...
