Another 6 empties including Elemis cleansing balm
Neom scent to sleep oil-this is beautiful
Radial sheet mask
Philip Kingsley elasticizer
Inkey list retinol serum
Sunday Riley good genes
Total: 25

Thanks @PomRuns

Empties: Charlotte Tilbury Brow Cheat. Seems to go down fast, but they do refills which I've already bought one of. Good colour for my v dark brown brows and the nib has a fine end for filling in hair strokes.

Sol de Janeiro Beja Floor Elastica cream: got this in a AC and didn’t get on with it, doesn't absorb easily. Much prefer bum bum cream.

Philip Kingsley Elasticiser: I like that this is a pre treatment so you're not left with a heavy conditioner after washing but I'm not sure it made a great difference

Clinique smart clinical repair moisturiser: too thick for day and left a greasy feeling. OK as a night cream. Won't be repurchasing.

@Metabigot thank you - I might get that Next box. Although I ordered the M&S box yesterday.

Happy Friyay everyone!

I have an empty:

• The Body Shop wild pine hand balm: love the scent. No the best hand cream though.

I've been good and made it through Feb without buying any beauty products 😇. Have now got my eye on a couple of beauty boxes though 👀

Empties:

15) Soap and Glory Call of Fruity Body Lotion - scent was a bit bubblegumy but it's decent quality stuff. I'm annoyed that there's some left in the bottom that I can't get out! Although to be fair, if the bottle wasn't transparent then I wouldn't even know...

16) Garnier Micellar Water - regular purchase for me. I now have the black charcoal jelly version to try for a change

17) Patchology Night Eye Gels - I'm not a huge fan of under eye patches. Not convinced that they do anything worthwhile

Total for the year: 17/135

I’m currently resisting several beauty boxes, some easier to resist than others, like the Look Fantastic Mothers Day Scent Edit (I don’t wear much perfume unless you count Cheval No.5), and a Cult Beauty hair moisturising edit (I already have several lifetimes’ supply of hair products). Of course every time I look at them, I get an email saying “we saw you looking at this, be quick if you want it!”

I quite fancy the next Elemis box for £60, although I definitely don't need it so trying to resist!

Oh yes that one too, although have plenty of Elemis already. Honestly, it’s as though I’m stockpiling for the nuclear apocalypse.

Two pics of empties and some purchases!
I love some body oil mixed into body lotion

Garnier 7 day body lotion. It’s not fancy but it’s fabulous.
Cowshed bath and body oil. Meh- didn’t do much and didn’t particularly have a fragrance.
loccitane almond oil. It’s ok- I don’t really want to smell of almonds. I always seems to have loads of these minis.
17/80
2 samples

Venn age reversing serum. It's amazing. Figuring out the cheapest way to repurchase ie looking for a beauty event or at least a GWP.

Oh ladies I have fallen off the thread! Still reading it tho, some great ideas.

My empties from several weeks pictured. Best things:
weleda lavender bath milk- love this, it’s a RP
sunday Riley vit c serum - in CB advent and I love it
Estee Lauder ANR very good
dermalogica sleep sound cocoon - bought to fill out a GWP last year and omg it’s amazing, smells so good and really soft skin. Shame I have one million night creams in my stash!

Oh, also loved the Arbirealist bath oil which I think was in Liberty AC. Never enough bath oils in ACs imo. Again may RP.

Amazing @MidnightMeltdown! Well done!

Great job @Rebel2!

@pomruns am going to Superdrug later to get this body lotion - thanks for the top tip!

Nice to see you @clary 👋🏼

@PlugInBaby1 is the Sunday Riley glicolic acid any good? I have a sample that haven’t used yet

@Thereislightattheendofthetunnel I like it yeah. I guess it depends what your concerns are

Thanks @Experiment627

I'm going to have to splurge on some makeup soon as I'm almost out of my favourite concealer. Waiting for a decent offer to come up.

@MidnightMeltdown what is your favourite concealer?

@Experiment627

It's the hourglass airbrush concealer. Not cheap, but it provides good coverage and they do really good shades for my light olive skin tone. Most concealers are too pink, orange, or dark for me. This one blends imperceptibly.

I want to try their foundation at some point.

I finished these products:

Avon planet spa dead sea mineral body mask: took me ages to finish and it does not appear to do anything for me other than getting my shower dirty.

Deliplus unicorn face mask a Spanish treat for my DDs they had lots of fun in the bath with their faces covered in a sheet mask with a unicorn painted on top.

Huggies pure wipes I love this as it is soft and resistant.

Guerlain samples I mentioned before they are too sticky and I can’t get past that. Won’t be buying these.

Super mario bath goo fun play time in the bathtub, feels like slime but it’s soap.

Bepanthol sensi calm nice texture might consider in the future

I love raspberry and blackberry shower gel it tints water and smells nice

My lovely lipbalm coconut and mango H and M had this for a long time I used it on my feet, smells pleasant but it is sticky. Won’t RP I am not sure if they make it anymore.

Handmade soap bars 2 I finished 2 vey basic ones. Not pictured

This seems like a such a bargain and is a one off box. Does anyone have any experience with ordering from them?
Mostly high end products and costs £112, worth £720.

Me too @MidnightMeltdown. I shall note that doen for when the three concealers I currently have on the go run out.

@CinnamonCoffee i really like Nail Inc. their brushes are lovely and I get good wear. I use the sheet pink exclusively with Nail Kale as a base.
