Hi beauties.  Only 2 things!  

BBW cotton blossom mist.  This was sooo old, but still smelled great.  Will pick something from the stash.  

FAB 1 oz hand cream in cranberry pomogranite.  Opened a Loccitaine.  I have hand cream minis everywhere.  Kitchen sink, nightstand, purse, car, travel bag.  So it is something I use up often.  I passed on the recent FAB TSV.  Too many creams in stash.  (Minis, full sizes too).  

Have a great weekend everyone.

@kathie66  I've noticed you like TJ beauty items. It's a small offering but good quality, great value/pricing and it's fun to see the limited quantity seasonal items.

I stopped at TJ's today to pick up some groceries and the cute 'in demand' Fall mini totes. They limited 4 per person; I bought 1 of each color, but in hindsight I should have bought all 4 in the solid black. Going to keep one and use the 3 others to fill with beauty items to give as Christmas gifts instead of Christmas stockings. 

This week I refilled the small travel sized SKINN Manuka Honey Oil bottle that I keep in the bathroom with the same from my final stash jumbo bottle that I keep in the refrigerator. The recent SKINN TS offer was timely as I'm using my last bottle. I ordered 3. TS Jumbo bottles. 2 to keep and one to gift to a close friend. I also bought the upsell reusable eye patches.

I used up a jumbo sized tube of Korres Body Butter in the Melon scent, love this scent for the summer. Bye bye Summer 🍹Replaced with Trader Joes Cacay Oil Body Butter from my stash. It is a very emollient cream that has a pleasant scent, I Love it 🥰 

Have a good weekend 💖

@Calibeach I do love TJ's beauty items! I also picked up the fall totes.They are perfect for gift-giving! What a great idea to use them in place of stockings at Christmas!  I can't wait to fill up one for my little Grandson with babyfood treats for Halloween! Have a lovely day!

Used up a Philosophy Hope In A Jar.

I won't get another at this time, as this was a random purchase, in a Philosophy holiday gift pack I got at Marshall's 2 years ago. Though I used to use HIJ for many years, in the early days, it got too expensive and I started using Dr. Denese more. (I am still using her Dream Cream and Hydroshield.) I used this HIJ for travel (small jar) and randomly in between DD days. So if I were to find it again, randomly at a deal like this was, maybe I'd get it again, but not on the hunt for it and don't need it now.

Like ALL Philosophy products, sadly a shadow of what it was since the Coty purchase...this too had changed greatly. The original formula was like a very light, whipped cream consistancy, like no other moisture cream consistency at that time. It did have a certain smell, and some stinging if you got it in your eyes, but I always thought it was just the ingredients "at work" and you just needed to avoid your eyes. It was also a yellow color. This jar was a lightweight, white cream, no fragrace (which I preferred), nice absorption, nice softening feel to my skin.

I liked it...just very different from the original.

Long dissertation on HIJ, lol...but that's my one "use up" this week...and I always give those details as I figure others, like myself here, like to get a review of what people use...I learn things on this thread.

@kathie66  Happy Friday  Aren't those totes cute! I bought the Spring set earlier this year and used some of them for Easter gifts stuffed with a variety of goodies. It will have many uses for your Grandson. 

I always look forward to the TJ Fearless Flyer for the witty way it is designed and written. Occassionally, a good receipe or hack for using their products. And it gives a consolidated way to see the "new" items since they aren't always displayed in one place in the store.

Excited to see what is "new" for the TJ Christmas season. Last year they had a lippie set that is like a dupe for Laneige lip mask. I bought several of them for myself and for gifts.

@Calibeach I'm looking forward to the holiday offerings from TJ's too! I love getting their Advent Calendars for my DD, DIL and myself. And I love when the latest Fearless Flyer comes out as well. Enjoy your weekend!

Another is on the way and then I think I'll be out of luck after this one.  Either can't find any more or what I can find is more spendy than I'm willing to spend.  100ml.  We use it at the kitchen sink.

Lucky you.  I'm envious and I don't have a jealous gene.  Summer is still hanging on.  Mid 80s to 90 for the next 10 days.

I used up Sephora collection Weekend Warrior touch up cream. It's like a tinted moisturizer. I'm not sure it's available anymore.

I also used up a Caudalie hand cream. It was part of set containing three hand creams, still have two left. These are nice creams, slightly scented and very hydrating. 

BTW, I like the Glow Recipe Cloudberry moisture cream I got with my Sephora points. It's travel size,and when I use it up will consider reordering. Right now I have other moisturizers, so will use up a few before buying anything else. But will keep the Cloudberry in mind.

Naturium - Quadruple Hyaluronic Acid Serum 5%
