This week I used up-

 SCA shampoo/conditioner 8oz, my favorite, replaced with the same

Thymes plum body lotion, sample, did not like

Threw out a bunch of packets of Aveeno body cream left over from my grandbaby, not a fan

Happy First Weekend in MARCH, Beauties! 

Life is horribly hectic right now so what follows is for two weeks. I did my best to put my empties in a little pile but I might have missed one or two. 

USED UP:

• SKINN Chin-Up Pro Redensifying Neck Serum (the yellow one) 1.7 oz. - as far as I can tell, this did nothing. I won't be repurchasing. I have another SKINN neck product but haven't gotten it out yet & can't recall the name. 
• SKINN Vacuum Deep Pore Cleansing Mask 2.0 oz - Love this; it does a great job. Replaced with same. I picked up a 2-pack at a great price not too long ago.
• SKINN Matte Manager Daytime Pore Reducing Serum - I really like the SKINN pore reducing products. They make a visible difference with my combo/oily skin. This serum was part of a 3 product kit that I'm on A/D for. I don't have a replacement yet. I've got plenty of the other products left so I think I'll either pick up the single product or the kit, if a good price, on eBay. 
• SKINN Olive & Enzyme Make-up Removing & Cleansing Cloths 30 pack - I really like these. I usually use them to remove my makeup in the evening and later cleanse my face. Replaced with the same. I'd purchased a 3-pack of these and now have one more left so I'll start watching for a good deal on them before too long. 
• SKINN Cosmetics Collagenesis Scalp Revitalizer Volumizing Serum 3.4 oz - I like this. When the planets are aligned in just the right way, it gives a little lift to my very stick straight, never-heard-of-body-or-volume, thin hair. lol That is more than any other product does. Replaced with the 2nd of a 2-pack. I do wish these came in larger bottles and were more economically priced. I will be looking on eBay in the future.    
• Borghese Fango Ferma Mud Mask - I love Borghese mud masks! I'll replace with the one I received not too long ago. I think it was part of the last Borghese TTV on Evine.

If I miss a week know it is just my real life interfering with my Internet reality. I'll probably be back the next week. Hopefully, things will calm down before too long. 

Have a great weekend, Beauties!

This has been a good use-it-up week for me.

Used up:

Philosophy Purity Made Simple 2 oz - This used to be my HG but then I switched to cleansing oils.  I have been using this to clean my brushes instead.  I found one tiny bottle left in my stash to replace this.

bareMinerals Mineralixirs 5-Oil Blend - This took me 10 months to finish!  I started to mix it with my body lotions.  It has been discontinued.  

Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation Serum .3 oz - I only buy this in the small bottle since I am trying to ween myself off of foundations.  It is nice for a natural look and it has SPF 30 plus other "treatments".  I have more in the stash.

NYX Proof It! mascara top coat - I use this over non-waterproof mascara.  It works and I have another to replace it.

Tossed:

Priti NYC Soy Nail Polish Remover - This took a lot of work to remove nail polish so I hardly used it.  It's supposed to be gentler on the nails but what's the point if I have to use so much elbow grease?

L'Occitane - deluxed sized sample of almond oil - very nice and nice scent, however, not a repurchase since they are not cruelty free.  And anyway, ton of oils to work through.  Replaced with a big bottle of sweet almond oil.

So close on some other things. One by one.....

Have a great weekend.

What is sweet almond oil? Where do you buy it and is it s dupe for L'Occitane? TIA

@scatcat,  The one I have is from Aura Cacia and I got it from Vitacost.  I am sure you can get it in your local stores but vitacost I have found to be cheaper.  I just add a bit to my moisturizer for the body since I am so dry in the winter.  It is not a dupe for L'Occitane.  You could use it as an oil when you get out of the shower but I don't use it that way, I just add it to my  moisturizers for a boost of hydration.
