Happy Friday Beauties,

Hope you all had a good week and a happy and safe weekend. I did not use up anything this week. What did you use up?

[Big Joanie]

i have been working so hard to try and use up 2 hair care products...

I had to be wasteful .... but I have been using them so long I am just

getting sick of looking at the containers !!!  The professional products

seem to last so long..... but I'll hang in there ... probably no more than

5 days left ...then on to something else ....and Yes I already bought

something ...!!

Slow week for me. 

I used up a 2.5 oz. Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo.

That's it.

I hope everybody has a nice weekend!!

A fun Friday to All!

This week I used up:

NYX Proof It, love this stuff and replaced with the same!

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Serum, the weather has been so bad that I finally got through this! Used it for years but now have been using dry oils instead.

Lastly I tossed the last Philosophy body lotion I will ever use, Lemon Custard. A huge bottle that finally went bad. I kept buying it for that wonderful lemon scent that lasted exactly 2 seconds on my skin. And in all honesty, it wasn't very good at moisturizing either! Rest in peace, I won't get suckered again by Philosophy!

See you next week!

Happy Friday, Beauties!

Used up this week:

Avon Skinvincible Day lotion SPF 50

Avon Rare Pearls deodorant.

Replaced deodorant from my stash: Avon Cool Confidence

Replaced day SPF lotion with Avon Youth Restoring lotion + Serum SPF 20.

Lighter for the coming warm weather months and more budget friendly. I buy several of the above items when they are on sale.

I did buy 2 really nice lipsticks at Marshall's: Ellen Tracy in Ruby Red (Love her colors for my skin tone!) and a Kat Von D. in Vampira. Both are much lighter and more wearable than they appear in the tube and total for both was $11.00, a splurge I can handle!

I used up:

A big tub of Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil Hair Masque. I really like the scent and the feel of this product. But I probably won't repurchase, because I really don't have time for Hair Masques. I used it as hair masque a few times, but it was time consuming, so I used up the rest as conditioner.

A bottle of Schwarzkoff Gliss Hair Repair Shampoo. It is my new favorite drugstore shampoo.  I have more in my stash.

A sample size of Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum. I am not sure if this works or not, since the sample was kind of small to actually see results. But it feels nice.

Have a great Friday, Beauties!

Good Afternoon to the TGIG Gals,

I used up the following:

1. GWP size of Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Night Cream for face and neck. This is a nice enough night cream, but too highly fragranced in my opinion. I replaced with a night cream (GWP) from Lancome, Absolute for now.

2. LaBella Provencia Jasmine Lavender scented shower gel. 3.4oz size. I received this in a gift pack with other scents. I kept this one and the Orange scented one. This was ok, but not a repurchase. 

3.ELF eyelid primer in Pearl. This works quite well and for the price I felt it's a good choice for me right now. I replaced with the same.

That's it for this week. I hope you all enjoy your weekend. See You all next Friday~~~

Happy Friday the 13th!

I used up a GWP jar of Lancôme Renergie Multi Action Day Cream with SPF 15. Replaced with same size jar.

IT Secret Sauce. This just didn’t wow me. It’s pricey, and IMO it’s heavy. I replaced it with the Neutrogena Hydro Boost moisturizer, and this is a gel like formula, which will be great for summer. 

La Mer sample size moisturizer which I used as an eye cream. It was fine, but I would never purchase the full size.

I used up a container of Cottonelle baby wipes. I buy them at Costco and use them as makeup wipes and personal care wipes. They aren't scented.

I tossed out my travel shampoos and conditioners before I came back from Australia. I planned it that way as I didn't want my 28" checked bag to weigh over the 50 lb limit as I had bought souvenirs, sunscreens, a bottle of wine, and a soft side insulated grocery tote bag and those went in my checked bag.

I went through 2 boxes of hair color in the past 3 weeks, I have to do a root touchup about every 10 days or so as my hair won't hold color at the roots.

I also used up a tube of Maybelline makeup primer, the regular one in the black and white tube. This is nice and I have a second tube already in use.

I gave my daughter a travel size Clinique sunscreen SPF 30 as I had bought enough Australian sunscreens that I figured she may want a travel size one to carry with her in her backpack.

Finally I tossed out a Marcelle tube of lotion. I think it went bad as the texture was runny. I'm not happy as this was part of a set that I bought post Christmas but I am not surprised that it was bad as the face wipes that were also part of the scent smelled off and that was a pack that I brought to Australia. I tossed out the rest of the wipes before I came home.

And lastly I also tossed out a couple of Burt's Bees lipsticks. The texture is grainy and doesn't go on smoothly. The color is great but it bugs me that it's not very smooth.
