Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream - really sad this is finished, my skin loves it.

Ren Overnight Glow Cream - would repurchase this, feels lovely on the skin.

Sunday Riley Vitamin C Serum - I liked it but have no idea if it did anything for my skin or not as I used it so sporadically and over some time. I want to try other products from this brand but have too many products to use first.

I just ordered it via their site using some influencer discount code.

I did like it but I wanted it specifically for tretinoin and my dose was so low it probably wasn't worth it. Differin is also a retinol and *may* be as good as tretinoin but there's not much research about it yet so time will tell!

Im in ROI, they don’t ship here since Brexit.

It's a cream product in a little pod and I realize only now that the name was wrong: It's called Repair mask, sorry about that!

I've used this bi-weekly, but had been introduced to it by my facial lady. It gets really, really hot on the face for ~10 min and then starts to cool down again and you'll look like a lobster for a bit. Great for battling impurities because you get much better blood circulation that flushes everything and it all looks really plump. i think the package mentioned that you could use it up to twice a week, but I don't have it anymore. I always used it the night before an event as a skin treat.

Mitchum - Invisible deodorant spray - regular repurchase but I’m tempted to try the AKT after all the glowing reviews on here.

Fresh - Rose Face Mask travel sized pot. Received this in a GWP beauty bag. I don’t think it did anything good or bad to my skin and I’m not keen on rose scented products anyway so I wouldn't repurchase.

I’ve never had any success with anything from The Inky List!

It’s looking that way for me too. Funny thing is I bought a bunch of their stuff from B&Ms/Home Bargains. I thought they were a good price but it turns out you can get them cheaper from The Inky List site .

3 more empties

Salt of the Earth 100% natural Deodorant spray - received this in my subscription box. I don’t usually like “natural” deodorants because I don’t find them as effective but this was surprisingly good. The only reason I won’t repurchase is because it takes ages to dry and I just don’t have the time in the morning to walk around for 10 mins with my arms in the air!

Liberty Maze perfume sample - received in my Beauty Drop box. Nice enough but it didn’t wow me enough to purchase the full size.

Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Foundation samples “Light Set 1” - I love Lisa and I was really hoping this would be “the one”. It was fine but again didn’t wow me. I have “Light Set 2“ to try so perhaps a different shade might look better on me. I do love her Seamless Skin Tint though.

I have also been having a clear out of my beauty products and have sold 3 items on eBay. Yay!
So, although not technically empties, they’ve left the building. (We won’t mention the 3 items that I’ve ordered in the Black Friday sales…)

Hey Guys , just wondering have any of my fellow blondes used these? Just bought this mini set to try as its a bit spenny for me to get the bigger bottles, any alternatives any of ye found good Id love to hear

Yes, I use the purple shampoo and really rate it. Just leave it on for 5mins and it leaves your hair feeling really nourished and removes all brassy / yellow tones. Can take or leave the other products to be honest.

Random Q. When a jarred product has a plastic hygiene cover, as opposed to a peel off foil one, do you leave it in after you've opened it or bin it?

I always leave them in as found it helps prevent spillages when travelling. Think it's supposed to help reduce bacteria too.

I didnt realise this until a few months ago, but I’ve started recycling my empties at boots, and if you spend £10, you get 500 boots points. So essentially, if I need something from boots, I recycle 5 things, get what I need, and collect the points, which are worth £5. I don’t know if everyone else does this and I’m just really far behind but it’s so good, especially if you need something from boots anyway x

Genius move! I had no idea you could recycle empties at Boots for points.

Perfect thread for today - finished my pot of Righteous Butter body moisturiser! Used a little bit extra to finish it up so now I'm in my PJs feeling WELL moisturised

(Had a photo but can't work out why it's not uploading 🥲)

I had to resize a photo I took before I could post it on another thread earlier. Think Tattle did an update overnight or something (I know I had to accept a lot of new advertising stuff before I could browse today) and it might have affected the file size of pics you can upload too.

Beauty Pie Uber Youth neck & chest super lift serum spray.

I fell for the hype and the “before and after” photos on their site.
It did nothing.
It didn’t even feel nice to use.
I’m no longer a member of Beauty Pie but even if I was, I’d not repurchase.

That’s good to know. I keep getting adds for this and have been tempted!

Revolution miracle cream. Supposed to be a dupe of Charlotte Tilbury. Finished the last bit today so will need to get some more

I got this as everyone was raving about it and it just doesn't agree with my skin

 

[Mythoughts]

Dove Exfoliating Body Scrub in Crushed Macadamia & Rice Milk (£8)

I buy this on repeat! Love the scent and how it leaves my skin!

 

[50sGirl]

Wow, just had a Google, damn that's spendy

I know! The trouble is I started using this at the same time as a slightly less expensive (but still expensive) day serum so I’m unsure which made the difference or if it was the combination of both.

 

[Grizzlybear]

Fresh - rose hydrating face mask - I love this and have been using it for 10ish years. Will repurchase.

CCS cracked heel balm - another holy grail for me, I pop lighter moisturiser underneath it and Vaseline on top to seal it all in and it’s a miracle treatment! Again, will always repurchase.

abandoned: some noughty conditioner I only bought recently but smells rancid after 1/2 uses.

Maybe I’m really far behind, but why are people removing their cuticles? what does it do? Should I be doing it too?!

No, you really shouldn’t and what I am trying and failing to make prettier is the living skin on the nail, not the actual cuticle. I unfortunately have very thick and dry skin there and had hoped the cuticle remover would help soften it so that I can push it back, but nope. I’m not good at doing manicures and unfortunately also haven’t been blessed with nails that grow into a nice shape on their own, so I’ve accepted that they simply won’t look nice unless I went to a salon.

 

[Mythoughts]

Definitely not! Do you have any recommendations for a new spray similar to it?

Soap and Glory used to do one similar,it was really good. I've just had a quick look and I'm not sure they do it anymore

 

[RR20]

The Body Shop used to have recycling bins in store for difficult to recycle make up and personal care products but seemed to have stopped doing this unfortunately since going into administration.

I've finished the Inkey list Polyglutanic SPF and really liked this and would use again.

I've nearly finished the Lacura Pro Night Advanced Serum (Estee Lauder dupe) I thought this was okay after my skin got used to it but I think it might have broken me out at first.

Slow month, and I am working on multiple things, but I guess the rate they are going, I'll see some at the end of the year still!

Balea Schrundensalbe (foot balm with 25% urea): glad this is gone, I don't think it actually did anything and the high urea content meant it gave you a feeling of wet feet for ages. Won't repurchase this, it was also a pain to squeeze out and by the end the plastic material of the tube had cracked

Dove Beauty Creme Bar - again think I'm roughly going through one per quarter and I got my supply lined up. Will use up a shampoo I don't like much as body wash first though.

Try the Scholl Schrundensalbe - it works miracles in a couple of hours!

 

[coconochanel]

YSL touche eclat le teint foundation-Lovely foundation but too glowy for me so I might try the all hours one next.
Nars creamy concealer-I always buy this but I'm not repurchasing it as I want to try the new MAC concealer.
