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!

@ememem84

Just given both of you a follow.

Thanks, followed you back xxx

Thanks!

Just wondering, is this thread mostly or all about empties?

@NoMoreBananas we do chat about our empties but also about our hauls, hoards and general addiction to beauty. We sometimes stray and talk about other stuff too. We have been going strong since 2015 (I think).

This was the first hoarding thread I joined and I have found it very useful - helps me stay focused on finishing things up. I have also found some very helpful tips on things to try.

Oh cool. Thankyou. Sounds like I'm going to fit right in!! Thankyou for the wonderful welcome too. Xxx

I saw someone mentioned lip balms earlier, last count I had 176. Just wondering in this group does anyone have more than this ??

I shall follow you both too. Mostly just to smile and wave. I’ve got teenagers, so just learning about the Instaworld. My daughters are unbelievably pragmatic, fortunately (so far)… they send me hilarious feminist stuff.

And now I have a Laneige lip mask on its way .... all down to you @Justilou1 ! 😊
I'd like to try the Nuxe as well but I have a heck of a lot of lip balms hanging around (in bedroom, bathroom, study, car, handbag, etc etc). I hardly wear lipstick these days , always balm.

I've only started insta myself. I have teenage daughters too, so they keep me right lol

@Ponks I hope you love it!!! It’s quite different to the Nuxe. I found that Nuxe sat ON my lips. The Laneige sinks in. (Slowly.)

Ooopsie @NoMoreBananas! What did you say? 😬

I actually have no idea. Lol. Unless I posted the same thing twice and they removed the 2nd one. But I dont remember posting after that last message. Or it could have been one of my usual tricks where I type nonsense cos I'm falling asleep. But I'm as confused as anyone 🤣😂🤣😂

Another one with young adult daughters here so often some of my beauty stuff gets relocated (by them to their rooms usually without my knowledge 😂😂🤣) but hey I'm mum so i don't have all the right stuff or the latest stuff apparently and all my stuff is old fashioned and as old as them haha or so I'm told (they may not be far wrong 😂😂🙈🙈). Anyway I digress... no empties to report but have given u a flow @NoMoreBananas and @Experiment627 I already follow u on YouTube

Oh yes i love how everything I have is 'not with it' but it still manages to disappear and suddenly end up in my 17 year olds room 🙄🙄😂🤣😂. Thankyou for the follow xx

Thanks for all the follows! I have been on IG for a while but only recently switched to a business account and I am still in the trial and error phase of post style, captions and hashtags.

My son is too old to steal my stuff but he helps me put cream on my legs and wash my back with salycilic acid 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Two empties!

A boots lavender bedtime bath and body shop camomile make up removing water.

I really rate the body shop stuff. But the camomile butter is my fave.

Good morning everyone!

I have some empties:

• Your Good Skin SPF 30 anti-oxidant day cream: I have been on the quest to find an HG day cream and this is the closest I have found! Goes on like a dream, feels really nourishing. Downside: foundation does not go well over it.
• Your Good Skin comforting gel cleanser: ok but does not get that oily and I like the ge-to-oil-to-milk ones better
• Your Good Skin balancing skin concentrate: I liked the progress thing on the side but did this balance my skin? Not sure - still have blackheads a go-go.... I prefer other serums more
• Superdrug My Little Star baby bath: this lasted TWO baths with Kwicklet!!!!! Ok but not my fave smell.
• Kingfisher Fennel toothpaste: this is HG for me and I have some in the stash. Love the taste! Fresh but kind to my sensitive teeth.

Two eyeshadow pallets a contour pallet and a bronzer gone to dsis.

This morning's empty.

REN Evercalm global protection day cream. It was a GWP when I bought the glow tonic, REN do excellent free gift/samples, I've had about a month of AM
and PM use out of this tube. It's rich enough that it feels good on my face but not overly greasy. I need a decent level of hydration and this provides it. I would buy again, when I've worked my way through the other moisturisers I have waiting in the wings.

Empty

La Roche Posay Toleraine Ultra Nuit - I love most La Roche Posay stuff, including this. Definite RP for me.

Lots of empties, nothing that I'd rush to repurchase.

• Aldi Q10 serum, nice enough light serum
• La Roche Posay Anthelios age correct SPF, felt lovely but had some pilling issues under makeup
• Revolution 20% vitamin c serum, used at night as again seemed to pill (maybe combo with the spf not great) , stained my pillow a lovely orange
• Eucerin anti dark spot corrector, ok but only small so finished quickly, I'm going to try their serum at some point.

I have some empties, but unfortunatly ive had an allergic reactionto a product! My face has been in a terrible state, the gp has given me some strong antihistamines, and my face is looking miles better. My face was covered in rashes and swollen! Im missing doing my skincare, but will wait out as i dont want to trigger anything

Anyhoo!

• Westlab salts Picked up in the pharmacy as a cheapo. I dont think this has helped my body eczema, i cpuld take or leave them.

• Biossance Peptide eye gel, im really shocked at how quickly ive got through this. I only used 1 pump in the PM. Didnt really stand out to me, lightly moisturising and didnt feel tacky. It was okay as far as eye gels go. Probably wouldnt RP.

• Pixi Toning eye patches It became a little ritual i would do on a Sunday Eve. Even better out the fridge. Cooled my under eye, id say de-puffed, rather than tone. I dont think you'll ever get long lasting results from these things. Nice to once a week. Will RP, have another pot to go through first of K-Beauty ones.

• Augustinus bader cream Totally over-priced!! When i applied, you skin looks dewy and smooth. But i found a few hours in, my face needed more moisture. It doesnt have the wow, a £££ cream should have!

• Deviant cleansing oil I suspect this is what has played havoc with my face. Ill be passing it along to someone else. Other than having a bad reaction. I found it a pretty boring cleansing oil. No scent to it. Just joyless really. It did take all my makeup off, and make my face look brighter. But i did also find, my skin felt tight and dry after. Despite going in with a cleansing cream as a second cleanse.

Oh no @Caggie09 !!!! So interesting what you say about the Augustinus cream.
