Beauty addicts thread: share empties, chucks and mindful buying tips

[Experiment627]

Welcome back (or welcome in!) to our little corner of beauty bliss, where shelves are full, wish lists are longer than ever, and there’s always something new to try.
This thread has been around for ages (since at least 2015), and many of us have even tamed our beauty-buying habits thanks to the wisdom and support shared here. We post our empties and chucks, helping each other make smarter, more satisfying choices next time we shop.
All beauty product addicts welcome!

@Experiment627 Ive just placed an order on tiktok. Have took pic of basket/ checkout

Im in no way connected but it works for me. I usually get off official site as always offers, loyalty vouchers, etc but this is a better price and a freebie x

Had a clear out this morning and filled a bag of half empty things or stuff that has been hanging around and now smells weird. Feel better for doing that.

Have sorted everything into clear boxes in my drawer. I now know I will not need to purchase hand cream for the rest of my life 😅 Biggest thing for me was the sheer amount of perfume samples and bottles, I really cannot purchase another fragrance till I have got this down a bit...I reckon it will take me a couple of years!

I'm annoyed at myself for spending over £60 in Rituals sale but I am aiming to use it all for gifts rather than myself.

You have no idea how good I feel getting that all sorted out and it's made me determined to only buy now when something is needed.

@dogloverthat is good to know- I am nearly 2 weeks in so hopefully I will begin to feel better soon. Joint & muscle pain has plagued me for years- could really just have been a lack of collagen?
I will definitely check out Will Powders once I have finished Elavate.

@Lifeisforliving2025 well done for the sort out. Maybe some of the perfumes can be used as room fresheners? That is what I am doing...

Actually thats a good idea. I used some of the hand cream on my feet today.

I have a small bit of Valentino Donna Aqua left, love love this but its discontinued. The perfume is getting darker so I've decided to just use it up instead of keeping and taking up space in my drawer. I reckon it will be finished within 2 weeks.

36/100

Aveda shampure - love this scent, usually a win for me but left my hair a bit lank this time round

ouai st Barthes body crème - gorgeous, love the scent, absorbs quickly, very effective. Possible repurchase when I’ve got through the stash
