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 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Curel intensive moisturiser, another on of Mr Prozac’s purchases that he never stuck with. I’m on to the inkey list water something or other next.

Finally I have two empties to share!

1. Lancôme Bi-Facil eye makeup remover. Perfectly serviceable but WAY overpriced for what it is. Will not repurchase.

2. Simple micellar cleansing water. Left my skin feeling clean and didn't irritate it at all or leave it too dry. That said nothing made it stand out, my skin didn't love it, it just did the job! Might buy it again if I need a cleanser like that again.

Technically not empties however I've just thrown away:

The ordinary face acid (the tiktoc famous red liquid one). Far too strong for my skin.

A hair conditioner spray. No idea how old it was so it was time to say goodbye.

A Time Delay gradual face tanner. It has gone bad due to age.

No 7 holiday prep serum. No idea what it was meant to do but it's old so it went too.

Grüm sunscreen. Again, no idea on age so I doubt it's really going to be factor 50 still.

Nip Fab overnight acid treatment. It had done lumpy(!) so in the bin it went!

Overall what I've learnt today is I hoard products until they go bad. 😅 In my process of clearing these bits out I've discovered I have 10 cleanser. 10! Who needs 10??

I threw away a load of lipsticks! I never wear lipstick. I kept the only one I like in a lovely Guerlain case!

Emptied a box of Tampax Compact and am now precariously embarking on my menstrual cup journey. I still have lots of pads which I'll use to gauge how useful the cup is, then hopefully empty those and just be on the cup and period pants. Anything I need to know/expect? Thanks

I used a menstrual cup for about ten years.. worked really well for my flow which wasn't too heavy. I stored mine in an old deep conditioner tub and soaked it in water and milton after finishing with it for the month

Empties finally! (I can finally contribute to the thread 😂) Very basic stuff.

-a bottle of dove deodorant (I found 10 half empty bottles 😂). On the way to using them all up in favour of AKT balm instead.

-L’Oréal elvive hair oil - wouldn’t repurchase. Too heavy.

-Simple face wash - would possibly repurchase as a basic cleanser. But prefer my liz Earle cleanse and polish.

If you have a coil fitted I don't think you're meant to use cups. If you've not got a coil then you should be grand! 😊

FFS. Thanks for this. No mention of it anywhere on the cup info. Hmmm. Not sure it's worth the risk having just Googled. For everyone reading it can basically suction an intrauterine appliance free!

I know! I feel like that should be a warning in large, friendly, letters on the box!! Esp when you consider how painful having the coil fitted is. I can imagine accidentally pulling it out at home 😅😬

It's disappointing for a product aimed at solely women to miss out on providing that much needed information. It's a failing on part of the company imo.

Also loving this thread. Finished a Lush Snow Dragon Bath Bomb. Broke it up to get 3 uses. In a former life I could identify Lush products by their scent alone, there's a pink Asda washing up liquid that smells exactly like Rock Star soap bar!

My empties from this weekend:
- An incense stick for the bathroom (replaced with a cheaper and much better smelling one from Lidl lol)
- Multiple diet cokes as it's my current fixation
- A whole pack of chocolate digestives because mr mog went out at 2pm to "see it his dad and have a pint" and didn't get home until 11pm

Finished a bottle of Original Source shower gel. I found a Almond Milk & Honey soap bar from The Body Shop in TK Maxx I'm using next.

Also finished a Tresemme Heat Defence Spray which is okay and I might repurchase at some point but bought an OGX spray to try.

Also finished a polyglutanic face serum and a bottle of Zoflora Cucumber and Mint disinfectant.

- Liz Earle Smooth & Glow Exfoliating Tonic

Absolutely love this. Gentle on the skin, makes your face feel nice and fresh and gives you a lovely glow. This is the only toner I’ve found that doesn’t make my skin brake out. Will purchase the full sized bottle when I get through everything else.

- The Inky List Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Again it just didn’t do……. anything?
