TGIF Beauties! What Did You Use Up This Week 12/8?

joseygirl — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 12:33:02 GMT

Happy Friday Beauties,

I was able to get through a couple of things. This week I used up;

Avon Foot Works Overnight Renewing Foot Cream - 3.4oz I like the Avon Foot Works products and they work for me , I will repurchase this.

Yves Rocher I (Heart) my Planet Radiance Shampoo - 10oz It has a very pleasent "green" fragrance, that is not over powering. I have two more in stash.

Waht did you use up?

Good Morning Beauties!

This week it was Cover Girl Lashblast mascara.

Grabbed CG Clump Crusher from the stash to replace.

I buy these from Dollar General when they are on sale, and with a coupon they run about $5.00. Works better than the $$$ brands for me.

@joseygirl: I am another fan of many Avon products, including the Footworks line.

Happy Friday, Joseygirl, and thanks for the start! This week I can contribute! Yay! Finished a Chanel primer. Expensive and liked. Replaced with Algenist color correcting primer - so far love this. It's a matte finish instead of feeling as though I'm putting a slick finish on. Also finished a tube of Perlier Carribean Vanilla body butter. Replace with a Josie Maran butter from the TSV last year which included 10 smaller sized tubs. I have more of both in stash.

I used up my huge Kiehl’s Creme de Corps body lotion. Expensive stuff, but works great. I try to stretch it out by alternating w/ Cerave.

I didn't use up any full size items.

I only used up a few sample packets:

Garnier Moisture Bomb

Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb

(Both of those feel really moisturizing)

Loreal Infallible Paints in Nude Star (lovely color. It's like a gloss/lipstick, or melted lipstick).

All these samples are very nice, and I might purchase the full size if there is a sale.

Happy Friday, Beauties!

Happy Friday!

I used up this week

Origins Gin-Zing 1 Ozs.moisturizer replaced with The Body Shop 1.69 Ozs. Pink Grapwfruit Body Butter.

I like both of them. The scent IMO lasted longer with The Body Shop product. I have a full sized Origins Gin-Zing Moisturizer (1.7 Ozs,) I am using as a foot/hand cream at night.

L’Oreal Brow Stylist Definer in Brunette shade replaced with same.

Made a substantial donation of various unused or gently used makeup products to Project Beauty Share.

Hello Beauties!

This week I used up a tin of Benefit Bathina that I had recieved as a gift a long time ago. This is a fabulous gift as I would never purchase this for myself! It is a body balm that smells to me, faintly of roses. It makes skin shimmer ever so slightly. It's lovely.

That all!

Enjoy the weekend!

Helllo Beauties,

This week I used up the following:

1. Philosophy White Cherry shower gel. 6oz replaced with Philosophy Sparkling Holly berries shower gel 6oz. I like the smaller sizes I can get at TJ Maxx. Otherwise I tire of some of the fragrances in the larger bottles.

2. e.l. f. Daily face cleanser. I l iked this at first and I did purchase again, but this now seems to dry out my skin. I finished this tube up and I don't believe I will repurchase. 5oz- I am now using my Lancome comfort cleanser at night and Neutrogena foaming cleanser in the shower.

That's it for this week. Have a Great Weekend.

See you all next Friday~~

@Leeny I find the Lancôme cleansers are more thorough at removing makeup than micellar water (Not Lancome’s but Garnier’s version). Even after using a cleanser, I apply a toner just to make sure all makeup is gone.

Used up:

BeautyCounter Cleansing Balm - This was part of the collaboration with Target. At first I really liked it, but I found another balm cleanser that I like better. I'm glad to be done with this as it's pricey and I wouldn't want to repurchase it from BeautyCounter. It did come with a nice muslin cloth and tiny spatula.

This week I used up:

-the little bottle of conditioner that came with my hair dye.

-a huge pump bottle of Giovanni shampoo (the 50:50 Moisturizing and Clarifying shampoo). I like it and would repurchase it, but I have a set of Giovanni shampoo and conditioner in those huge pump bottles in the olive oil and avocado formula to use now.

I took a big step and decluttered almost 50 items from my makeup, fragrance, toiletries, medicine cabinet and stash. Some were tossed and others are in a box that will go to family who may want the stuff. The one thing of note was a body spray that reminded me of my ex-boyfriend. I loved it, but it made me sad to smell it, so I finally poured it down the drain once and for all.

The new year is coming up. New year, new you.

Happy Saturday!

Used up Amara Organics 20% Vitamin C serum - replaced with same because my skin loves this stuff!

@mistriTsquirrel-awesome job cleaning out the stash! That's a lot of items! I bet it sure feels good getting rid of all the stuff that you don't use or love. I know with me it becomes such a burden at times trying to use up stuff that I don't like just because I don't want to waste money. But sometimes it's just worth it to toss it. Especially it makes you unhappy, time to let it go, life is too short. Congrats!

Happy Saturday beauties!

I used up: BBW Pocketbac in Sugar Plum Dream- these BBW scents are just too strong for me anymore, I don't want my hand sanitizer overpowering whatever fragrance I might be wearing that day. This was my last one and I won't be repurchasing. I just replaced it with a generic one from the dollar store, I haven't used it yet but hopefully it's not too strong. I want to just get unscented ones from now on

Tossed Almay I-color mascara in brown- this wasn't gone but had been opened for several months and it was time for it to go. I didn't like the wand, it was very wide and I had trouble getting to the base of my lashes. And the last few times I used it I kept feeling like it was flaking and getting in my eyes. Not a repurchase. I have a Marc Jacobs sample I'm using now, the last one from my Sephora sample box then I have to look for something else

That's it for me, have a great weekend everyone!

@JustJazzmom

I agree with you on the Garnier micellar water cleanser. I do use the micellar cleanser after I cleanse sometimes. Lancome's cleanser is a great cleanser and mild for my sensitive skin. I seen the dept. store had the Lancome cleanser and toner on sale. I should go out and pick one up.

skinn 6x balm - 3 in various stages to go. Once done not a repurchase. not as moisturizing as my first set, but also I prefer stick balms.

My use up has been going slow but I am at least close on one other product.

nice weekend, Everyone.

Happy Weekend to all!

Just a few things this week:

Elf pressed HD finishing powder. I used this on my neck over all my lotions and potions so I could apply some bronzer. I won't repurchase since it makes my face look ghostly.

Dermacil lotion that I got at the dollar store. I use this to moisturize my feet before bed. Cheap but effective.

Tossed: Neutrogena Healthy Volume mascara. I've had this before and liked it but this one was dried out from the start.

Carlypup — Sun, 10 Dec 2017 01:32:29 GMT

I used up a few things:

Lather lavender & eucalyptus foot cream - I love this foot cream, but recently have been using various oils instead and that has worked as well.

Philosophy Lemon Custard Body Soufflé 7.5 Oz - one of my favorite scents, but have replaced with Snow Angel for the winter months.

Josie Maran Milk 1 fl oz - use daily, so replaced with the same.
