Happy Friday Beauties,

I can't believe we are already going into May on Mon. Hope everyone had a good week and will be having a great weekend. This week I used up;

Avon Little Dot Violet Perfume Splash - .14oz This was in a limited addition holiday gift set a few years ago. It came with two others, Rose and Hyacinth. The Rose spilled out in the drawer I keep my perfumes in, and I used up the Hyacinth a few weeks ago.

Bath and Body Works Island Margaita Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap - 8oz This scent has been discontinued.

Avon Anew Clinical Overnight Hydration Mask - 1.7oz Replaced with same.

Yves Rocher Rose Absolute Perfume Spray- 1.7oz This has been discontinued by the company. The top note are fresh and mildly spiced, middle notes are Turkish, Bulgarian and Morroccan rose, base notes are patchouli and tonka bean, if intrested and can find it on E-Bay.

Pure Silk Dry Skin Therapy Shave Gel - 8oz Replaced with same.

What did you use up this week?

Happy Friday Beauties! I had a good week using up/tossing out items this week!

This week I used up:

Unconditional Love spray fragrance 2oz- I really like this scent but I am done with Philosophy. I want to replace it in the future with a dupe from PSS

Tarte travel size Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara- this was ok, I got it in a Sephora lash discovery set of 5 different brands. I wouldn't pay full price for it, I just can't justify spending over $20 on any mascara. The sample didn't last very long, dried up quickly. I replaced it with a travel size from Makeup forever

Kroger facial cleanser 16oz- this was a generic for a Cetaphil knockoff- I never used Cetaphil so I can't compare, this cleanser was very watery and not my favorite, but it worked ok for morning showers. I replaced it with an Avalon Organics Vitamin C cleanser which I am actually really liking so far

Equate dry skin cream 6.5oz- I was looking for something to help with my terrible dry skin this past winter and picked this up as a Pond's knockoff. I didn't care for it at all, felt much to greasy for my face so I used it up on my neck and chest and even my arms and legs.

Tossed: 2 BE brushes that I never use. I only use two brushes, one for powder foundation in the summer and one for blush

Physicians Formula Shimmer strips eyeliner in black that was getting dry-I rarely use black eyeliner, don't care for it, but one comes in every set I get it seems

Ulta gray eyeliner- also came in a set and I just didn't care for the color. I didn't think I would but the set I got at Christmas was so inexpensive that it was cheaper to get a set of 5 than just to buy 2, so I got the set. I think next time I'll just get individual eyeliners, I really only like brown and purple anymore.

LA colors eyeshadow palette- I picked this up at the dollar store, it had 12 small shadows in it. I only used 3 of the colors, didn't care for the rest, pastel blues, purples, greens, so I tossed the rest.

Whew! That's it for me this week! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Isomers Glutathiosome high potency face serum - was good. Was an older item I had, glad to have used it up. Not a repurchase.

Skinn body balm - was good, you know like a balm. Not a repurchase. Replaced with Mama Medicine balm, which was previously suggested on these boards.

Not a lot for me is going to be a repurchase until I figure out what I am doing. I am finding a lot of these products unnecessary.

Not much for me this week either.

TooFaced BTS Mascara- this was a travel size I received in something. I don't remember. I like this one, but I've discovered a mascara from the brand Essence that I really like and it's like $4 at Ulta. So I won't purchase full size.

JM Argon Oil- I got this in a kit also. It was fine, but I know I can find a cheaper price for argon oil. I've switched a lot of my skin care to The Ordinary and am really liking it.

That is it for me! Have a great weekend!

Hello Beauties,

I tossed quite a bit due to expiration date:

Sure antiperspirant

Secret antiperspirant

Almay antiperspirant

Neutrogena Healthy Skin anti wrinkle night cream - won't repurchase. Now using prescription retinol

travel size Crest toothpaste

Earth Science almond aloe moisturizer spf 15 - I need at least 30 spf so won't repurchase.

Vanicream spf 50 sunscreen - will buy again. This is heavy but it does protect when you are outside for a long period of time.

Avalon Organics coq10 firming body lotion - ick, didn't like and didn't do any firming.

Didn't use up much this week

Hello Gorgeous Gang!

This week was not much for me! I used up a travel sized Up & Up Eye Make-Up Remover. Need to re-stock my traveling kits again.

I dropped a well used Smashbox Palette and it shattered into a million pieces....treated myself and replaced it with the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette.

That is it for the week!

Re: TGIF Beauties! What Did You Use Up This Week?

momoftwo2007 — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 12:53:04 GMT

Used up:

Soo Ae Coolagen Essence Vitamin Sheet Mask I got this from the Walmart beauty box. It's my first experience with sheet mask. And I think I'll stick with the wash off mask.

OGX Argan Oil Shampoo this is a trial size. And I am really not impressed by it. Other cheaper drug store shampoos perform much better for my hair than this.

Tossed whole bunch of stuff:

Pacifica Moisture Natural lipsticks in nude red and superlove. The colors are really beautiful, and it's very moisturizing. But it last no more than one hour.

Ulta Lip Gloss in Cheerful. It's too heavily fragranced. Smells like candy.

Wet n Wild Coverall Correcting Pallete It's one of those green, purple, white, yellow paleetes. I feel that the regular skin-toned concealer is much easier to use than this.

Maybelline Exper Wear Eyeshadow and Loreal Color Riche Eye Shadow these were about two years old. I have since found other eye shadow pallets that are more pigmented and better quality.

Korres Hand Cream in Guava 3 oz I wanted to try Korres and bought the Guava because it is the most popular scent for the company. But I cannot stand the scent. It really bothered me.

Have a great weekend, Beauties. I always enjoy reading about your posts!

This week I used up-

A box of 500 Q-tips, will repurchase

Was cleaning out my closet and found a big box of Smashbox make-up, mostly eye shadows, gave to my 12yo granddaughter to play with

1. Derma-e hydrating night Cream sample, OK nothing offensive about it, but did not me say wow.

2.Bliss foot patrol aha cream sample, OK but I would not buy a special foot cream.

3.Foreo night cleanser sample. I used this once, yuk, waxy, I had to use a different cleanser to get it off, I did not rinse off. Threw it away.

Lipstickdiva — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 14:16:55 GMT

Very slow week for me but I'm close on a couple other things.

Bliss Foot Patrol foot cream - full size. This was just meh. Nothing I would purchase again. I will need to buy a footcream when I go out this weekend.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Wow, good job so many in the group with long lists. Opened a Chanel mascara primer and the tube fell apart. In trash - too bad. Was part of a special promotion and was included with a mascara so not out $$ for this one. Have great weekends!

Hello All You Beauties!!

It was a pretty good week here so here is my list:

1. White Shoulders Cologne 4oz spray. I have another in my closet so that's a good thing. This is my go to fragrance for everyday. Been wearing this for about 35 years.

2. Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado Oil Bath and Shower gel 16.9oz. This is a great line when I can find a deal on it. I now replaced with Yves Rocher Lily In the Valley shower gel. I like this scent for spring/summer.

3. Bath& Body Works Gardenia & Spring Rain gentle foaming hand wash. Replaced with French Lavender B&BW hand wash. Both scents are nice, but I am sure they are limited stock.

4.ELF Daily Face Cleanser 3.7oz. This is ok to use in times I run out of my other cleansers. I don't know if I'll repurchase. I replaced with Yves Rocher White Botanical Mousse Cleanser.

5. Skinn Cosmetics Restore C+ Vitamin Concentrate. I will not be purchasing this as I didn't notice any difference.

Have A Super Weekend and I'll see you all next Friday

Oshare-girl — Sat, 29 Apr 2017 00:46:36 GMT

Used up:

Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum - Really like this and replaced with the same.

Decluttered:

Vapour Stratus Soft Focu Skin Perfector - Got this as part of a Beauty Heroes box so I didn't pay full price. But it still makes me sad that I have to pass this on. It makes me so itchy. I think it's the titanium dioxide.

Perricone MD No Blush Blush - Another one that I am passing on because it makes me itchy.

NeoStrata Sheer Physical Protection SPF 50 - Another pass-on that makes me itch.

I finally am realizing that these products are not good for me and am passing them on to someone else that could get use out of them.

Hello Beauties,

This week I cleaned out the nail polish bin, out went: two OPI's, two Essie and one Avon. Also tossed an old Burt's Bees Pink Blossom Tinted Lip Balm.

Wishing all you Beauties a nice weekend and happy May.

Not much for me. I used up a couple Kerastase shampoo sample packets this wk - their new Aura Botanica line. Smells wonderful for anyone wondering. I am a die hard wen lover/user, but over the course of using it since June of last year I have learned that my oily scalp def needs a good shampoo cleansing a several days a week or it's not happy.

Hi Ladies:

I have been busy so haven't posted the past few weeks but I have been saving my empties to stay relevant on this thread:-)

Here is my list:

Nivea Moisturizing Body Wash-Care & Happiness, this is my favorite but have a hard time getting this scent, they are always out when they are on sale, I have my backup of the regular Nivea Body Wash

Signature Club A-cucumber meltdown, this is a personal favorite, replaced with my backup stash

TRESemme Botanique Curl Hydration Conditioner- replaced with same, I like this product and they were on sale

IntinsivEYE Vitamin C Extract makeup wipes- replaced with Dead Sea Elements wipes

That's it for now, hope everyone has a great weekend:-) it's going to be 93 degrees here today....

I used up an E.O. face wash. I was using it on my face and realized it would be better to use the rest of it up as hand wash. I need face wash made specifically for dry, congested skin, not "everyone."

I also got rid of what was left of an Elariia body cream, in one of those tiny jars they used to have in sets. I saved the jar though, as it is glass and I have a use for it.

That's it for this week.
