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!

@Tarragon123 Isnt it funny ? The Umberto Gianini Curl Jelly is my Holy Grail

I kept feeling like I must be missing something as I used it as it just didn’t seem to do anything, maybe my hair is too fine and just not naturally curly enough. The sensitive scalp isn’t the fault of the product per se it’s me.

My holy grail for hair styling is Bed Head foxy curls but the container is not travel friendly so I’d hoped the UG tube would be similar, I hate decanting into travel containers I want the option of buying small refillable containers of my favourite products.

Best wishes for your recovery, inability to shower properly is particularly difficult for those of us addicted to nice toiletries!

In Melbourne heading towards Hobart. Massive car trip (2800km which included an extra stop in the mountains, adding about 500km to my OG route…)
I broke my no-buy because I used up all my cleansing balm. I found another for 60% off and didn’t buy two.
I also emptied the mascara I brought with me and lost my eyeliner. Both replaced.
New balm is green Banila Clean it Zero. Eyeliner is Canmake and mascara is Romand.

@Tarragon123 it sounds like you have really been through it - you poor thing. Really hope your daughter can wash your hair - I think that will definitely lift the spirits. Please take care of you and rest up xxxx

BTW I adore that Murad cleanser too.

I have a few more empties:

• KIN B5 mouthwash - sold to me by hygienist - actually one of the nicest ones I have used - was only meant to last a month - this is me 6 months later!
• OGX Bond Protein repair shampoo: too much for my oily roots - smells like Ouai Melrose Place.
• OGX Bond Protein Repair 1 minute treatment mask: despite containing amodemethicone this is not as softening as the Tresemme one.
