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

I used up a bottle of Rapture shower cream from Victoria's Secret. I didn't replace it as it seems to be discontinued. I have a couple more stashed away somewhere.

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

It's the end of the year and I will be tossing what is left of my pan that palette for 2016.  From the Laura Mercier Smoky Nude palette, I used up one shadow and hit pan on the other 3 shadows.  It started out fine, but over time it wasn't performing as well.  I won't be purchasing any more Laura Mercier eyeshadows as I have come to realize that I always go back to Urban Decay.

 

I am also tossing what's left of the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector.  It's very nice but I rarely use it and it's old.  The spongy applicator can't be sanitary anymore.  I won't be repurchasing it or any other lipglosses.  It's just not my preferred lip product.

 

Used Up:

Colour Pop Brow Pencil in Dope Taupe - This is a really nice eyebrow product but I never know when it's going to run out because the lead is not retractable.  I prefer the pomade version.

 

Lush Rose Jam - I really liked this scent for a while.  But I have grown tired of it and will be trying more naturally fragranced soaps which are paraben-free.  I was surprised to see that a Lush product contained parabens.

I tossed out a Joe Fresh white mattifying powder compact as the pressed powder was messy to use as the makeup brush grabbed too much powder because it wasn't pressed very well. That's it for the last week of the year.

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

Good morning.  I don't keep a "stash" like some of you, so when I empty a jar/bottle, I go buy a replacement. 

 

This week I used up:

 

Avalon Organics Vit C Intense Defense - I've used this brand for years and decided to try something new.  Replaced with Garnier Vit C sunscreen lotion.

 

ROC Retinol night cream - replaced with same, as usual.

 

BBW 'Hello Beautiful' Shea Butter body cream - replaced with BBW 'Magic in the Air' body cream.

 

Tossed:  Half bottle of Maybelline 'Fit Me' foundation - I just didn't like it.

Am scraping the bottle of Perricones eye serum. Been using it for several months and haven't seen much change---so will cross that off my list of things to replenish.

Finished a bottle of Rusk shampoo and threw out an old Revlon mascara.
