Re: TGIF, Beauties! What Did You Use Up This Week 2/21?

I used up a Korean Esfolio  collagen peeling gel facial scrub -- it has cellulose and carbomer to make those pilly scrub particles in a gel base that are supposed to exfoliate your skin. I decided to use it up as a shower scrub because I didn't use it very much on my face. It's an OK scrub but not one I would like repurchase from Winners as it has fragrance in it.

 

I tossed out a Maybelline x Gigi Hadid City Mini eyeshadow palette as it started to develop a funky scent. Since it was manufactured and sold in 2017, I figured it was time to declutter it.

 

I also decluttered some Covergirl x Olay concealers as they don't do a good job of concealing and replaced them with the new L'Oreal Age Perfect Radiant concealers which do a better job covering my dark undereye circles.

 

I also tossed out some Real Technique ball shaped makeup sponges - it's a bad design when trying to use them around your eyes.

 

Lastly I decluttered some lip glosses I don't like including a recent 100pt Sephora sample of Bobbi Brown's lip gloss as it was tacky and sticky.

Happy weekend beauties! It's been pretty slow going here for me lately but I did finally use something up last week:

 

Ulta Facial Cleansing Wipes for sensitive skin 25ct- I don't use these often, mainly in the summer if I don't wear makeup and just want to wipe my face off, but once in a while in the winter if I don't wear a full face of makeup, just a bit of foundation, and I want to wash it off. I have 2 more of these here to use up.

 

I also used up a small bottle of Suave Almond and Shea Butter conditioner and a Bolero hand soap from Dollar Tree. The conditioner I replaced with a Daily Defense from dollar tree to try, but I have more of the Suave here if I don't like the other. 

 

Replaced the hand soap with Kroger brand. I don't spend a lot on that. 

 

That's it for me, hope to see you next week too!

Re: TGIF, Beauties! What Did You Use Up This Week 2/21?

Used up:

 

-90 ct jar of Stridex pads.  These are fine if you are looking for a BHA product.  Alcohol free.  Am replacing with something else in my stash though.

 

-24 oz bottle of Giovanni 2Chic Avocado & Olive Oil Ultra Moist Conditioner.  This is really nice for dry hair.  I plan on repurchasing this, but have some other things I want to use up first.

 

-a Leaders 7 Wonders Mediterranean Olive Brightening Mask.  This is my favorite sheet mask to add a little moisture to my skin.

 

 

Tossed:

 

-an Avon Big Color eye pencil in shade "Chocolate."  Have tried using this with and without an eyeshadow primer, and it looks patchy.  I have a couple more of these in lighter colors.  Not sure yet if I want to keep them or not, but this one had to go.

 

 

That's all for this week.  Have a great weekend!!

Re: TGIF, Beauties! What Did You Use Up This Week 2/21?

Active Argan supple balm- replaced with a new one!

 

Avene gentle toning lotion- I have another one in the stash, but I’m trying to get through other toners I have open.

 

Paula’s Choice Calm Redness Relief SPF 30 - Normal to Oily moisturizer- threw out because I think it went bad. Would consider buying in the future.

 

Isomers-oxygenforce energy boosting serum- replaced with a new one. I tend to use this on weekends.

 

Trial size Dr. Jart Peptidin Radiance serum- replaced with a regular size one. This is another one I tend to use on the weekends.

 

During the week I use a vitamin C serum and then Isomers All-in-one firming serum.  I don’t know if it helps to switch things up or not.

Hi everyone.  I'm late chiming in.

 

Just a few things this week:

Jergens Natural Glow lotion/self-tanner.  This is a staple for me.

 

Botanics eye cream (can't recall full name)  Replaced with Hada Labu eye cream which I like a lot.

 

100% Pure Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream.  This smells like coffee and I really like it but the Hada Labu eye cream contains caffeine so not replacing.

 

Hope you all have a great week!
