I used up

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Cleansing Gel I love the the scent and the feel of this cleanser. But I probably won't repurchase. It's fine as a second step of cleansing, but for stand alone cleansing, it doesn't wash off all my makeup completely. Also the product has a 6 month period-after-opening expiration date. I had it for a year and it seems fine. But it just gives me pause to see it has such a short expiration date.

I gave away

a big bottle of Marc Jacob Daisy perfume. It smells great in the store, but on my skin,it smells bad.

I tossed

a bottle of Neutrogena Skinclearing Foundation. It oxidizes so badly on my skin. It makes me look orange.

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick (nude in the city)-- don't care for the smell, and the color is too light for me.

NYX Matte Lipstick (Euro Trash)--It is very drying.

Have a great weekend, Beauties.

And thank you @joseygirl for this thread to remind us to use up what we have. It is extremely helpful for me.

This week I used up:

Neutrogena Hydrating Serum, love this and will re-purchase! Keeps my skin moisturized all day!

Lano Everywhere Multi-Cream. Save your money, many drugstore creams do better at 1/3 the price.

One Carmex Lipbalm, replaced with same.

See you next week!

I used up:

Herbal Essences Body Envy Hairspray - full size. I don't care for this hairspray. It is way too stiff of a hold for my hair. I am going back to my normal Got 2 B volumizing hs.

I donated a ton of items to a women's shelter. Lots of soaps, lotions, toothbrushes from my dentist, body washes and haircare items.

@Lipstickdiva I am sure that the women's shelter will appreciate it very much!! I am also in the process of starting a box of items to take to my local food pantry (where it takes new and unopened items).

@Lipstickdiva how nice of you to donate so much.

@redwingsgal I love DG light blue.

I tossed some old lip balms this week. Also tossed a Batiste dry shampoo. It didn't work well for some reason. I read some people felt it contributed to hair loss😲. I won't repurchase as I have some Philosophy in my stash.

Hello everyone,

I used up two 6 ounce bottles of Philosophy Body Wash- Snow Angel and Pink Chocolate Macaroon I have plenty in my stash to replace.

Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear Make Up I really liked this foundation but I can't find it in the drug store and I need to replace ASAP so I am going to try Neutrogena Hydroboost Hydrating Tint.

Used up this week several things:

Lancôme Sample Visionnaire Face Cream — very nice & non greasy. Might consider as a replacement for the Lancôme Renergie line.

Lancôme Sample Skin Feels Good Multitasking, Hydrating Skin Tint in 01N Nude Vanilla & 02C Natural Blond shades — both shades were light coverage as a substitute for a liquid foundation. The Nude Vanilla was more in line with the Lancôme Teint Idole 210N shade I usually wear. The Natural Blond looked like I had a bronzer on. Would I buy this? Maybe if I wanted light to medium coverage. It doesn’t have much sunscreen in it.

Lancôme Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Night Cream 2.6 Oz. jar— replaced with same but smaller jar —probably a GWP jar.

Lancôme Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Eye Cream 0.5 Oz. jar — replaced with same sized jar.

Lancôme Drama Liqui Pencil In Noir Intense (black) shade — replaced with GWP Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil Perversion (black) shade

Origins Ginger Burst Body Wash 1.7 Oz. tube — place with small bottle of The Body Shop Frosted Plum Body Wash

Hello and happy Friday!

This week I used up:

Laura Geller Baked Italian marble lipstick in Riviera. These are very much like a lip balm with a hint of color. I used it on top of lipsticks that were too dry. I will choose another lipstick from my stash.

Native deodorant in unscented. Replacing with their lavendar pear scent. I love this alluminum-free deodorant.

That's it for this week. Enjoy the weekend!

SKINN Essential Radiance Body Butter. Have one more in stash but will not reorder as prefer the Body Butter Extreme as more moisturizing.

Happy Friday everyone!

This week finished my second tube of Tarte Lights, Cameras, Mascara, that's 2 out of the 3 tubes in special offer from QVC. Have one more to go. Hope all have a great weekend.

Good Evening Beauties,

I Know I am kind of late, but here's my list.

1. Zest Aquamarine Body Wash 18oz. This is a nice body wash which really surprised me. I would buy this again, but right now I have 2 more bottles of different brands in the shower.

2.Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream 0.25oz. I got this in a sample bag at Sephora. I priced this out and it's kind of expensive. Now I know why I liked it. I won't be purchasing this anytime soon.

3.Crabtree & Evelyn Lily hand therapy cream 0.09 oz. size. This came in a Sample box at Christmas. I believe there were 6 tubes of different scents. I like the Crabtree & Evelyn hand creams. I replaced with the Iris scent. These are nice to put into your purse.

4.Shea Moisture Dragon's Blood and Coffee Cherry Instant Rebound Eye Cream in the tube. It states it is for Stressed Under eye skin. I love this product and replaced with the same.

5. Last, but not least is a tube of Yves Rocher Anti-Age Global for the eye. This is another very nice eye cream. I had just a little left so I finished this up this morning. I would also repurchase this one. It does a nice job in moisturizing the eye area without any sting or itching.

Well, gals, that's it for this week.

See you all next Friday~~ Have a Great Week!

It's been a good week.

Used up:

Korres Body Butter in Apple Blossom - This is a nice lotion and I have one more in the stash. I usually buy them from Hautelook at a good discount.

Lush Naked Shower Gel Rose Jam - Love this seasonal scent and I wanted to try the bottle-less version. I still think this gets used up faster than liquid shower gel. Replacing with the Twilight scent. I only buy this during the holiday BOGO sale.

Innersense Harmonic Healing Oil - Got this in a Beauty Heroes box last year. It's supposed to be a hair oil but I noticed it was giving me breakouts on my neck so I used it mixed in with my body lotion instead. I don't know why it's so comedogenic on my neck but not the rest of my body.

Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara mini - I ended up really liking this mascara. The brush is huge but it lays down a nice coating of mascara. I got this in a Sephora sampling set with a certificate to purchase a full size. I'm going to redeem it for a full size of this.

Tossed:

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer - This was the wrong color for me and super thick. It was so cheap and on sale so I caved but it was a waste.

Max & Me Circle of Protection mini - This was another body oil that came in a Beauty Heroes box. I liked the scent but so did the ants! They swarmed the bottle so I had to throw it out.

Happy weekend beauties!

Used up:

Marc Jacobs mascara mini-this was the last one in a set of 5 I got from a Sephora Lash set over a year ago. I liked it and would consider purchasing it. I have 2 Wet N Wild ones here right now and I don't care for either one, so I need to look for something else soon

Dermasil lotion 10oz-I always keep this on hand because it's just a basic unscented lotion and sometimes I just don't want a scent. Plus it's something my boys can use. I actually replaced it with the cocoa butter formula which I like even better, the scent if very mild but the formula is creamier

Spa Haus Skin Relief body wash 16oz- this wasn't my favorite Spa Haus body wash, but I'm not that fussy about body wash. I replaced it with a different scent

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

I used up a L'Oreal Ombrelle facial sunscreen SPF 50. This is a nice chemical sunscreen as it doesn't look white and pasty on my face and it plays well with foundation or CC creams.

I used up a box of Revlon Colorsilk hair color in 41 medium brown. I also gave away some makeup primers, NYX shine control and another NYX primer as they are too drying on my face.

Edited to add that some makeup just doesn't play nicely with my suncreens and some of my older sunscreens have become difficult to blend well on my face without leaving white streaks so I also tossed them out including Almay foundations which are settling into pores and Cerave mineral sunscreen (the yellow and white tubes). I also tossed out the setting powders that I tried due to youtube beauty gurus as they don't work for me.
