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!

I have finished ( but kept to refill)
Small bottle of Rituals Sakura shower oil
100ml bottle Molton Brown Orange and Bergamot Shower Gel
Both favourites and I have larger sizes to decant .

Tried once and threw out sample size of Rituals of Karma shower gel that I got as a GWP . It was so nasty I had to rewash .
I've got a bagful of things to go through .

Sam McKnight - good girl: I have one of these is several baskets already, it’s a brilliant volume/texture spray

Agent Nateur - Holi oil: didn’t suit my face so used on my body where it was great. Far too expensive for body though.

Chanel No5 sample: gorgeous, works so well on my skin. A bottle of No5 will be on my Christmas suggestions this year. I know it’s old and fusty on some people but on me it has gorgeous lifted white florals and an impression of soapy clean.

Emptied a mini Molton Brown shower gel - Sunlit Clementine and Vetiver. I have tons of
MB travel minis and this was a nice one.

Inadvertently emptied a Laura Mercier caviar eyeshadow stick in Strapless when the cap came off in my handbag. Luckily it’s not highly pigmented 😀
