  • Well done gothrockchic!

    I'm waging my own war against cleansers and mineral make up and foundations. I've had yet another reality check and decided to get real. I ran out of a concealer this week, have another one on the go and thought, I'll buy another one and completely ignore the mineral ones I have in the cupboard.

    Get real time - USE THEM UP, DON'T BUY ANY MORE UNTIL YOU HAVE RUN OUT

    That's my message to myself and please let me imprint it in my head

    Im just the same I have loads of Body Lotion which I have brought and been given and Im loving seeing the pots empty and empty. I just cant say no to more thats the problem, went down the aisle today and just resisted! I think its a bigger buzz to use it up than buy it now. How sad does that sound? :o

    I am reporting a used up selection of items - all done at the same time!

    1 x eye cream 15ml pot
    1 x superskin moisturiser 50ml
    1 x facial exfoliator 50ml
    1 x shower gel 200ml
    1 x LE cleanse and polish 200ml - next time I will see how long this has lasted for as it appears to have been very long lasting and much more than the 100ml size

    All onto the next pots and tubes in stock which are a new tube eye cream held in stock for a long time and the same with a new moisturiser to use at night. Large 400ml facial wash is the next one to tackle as its half used and this will be the morning wash once the C+P is gone

    Keep on going everyone!

    Also used up an anti ageing moisturiser which I used on chest and neck

    Currently attacking the 400ml half used up facial wash. Estimating this will last at least 2 more months maybe even 3 months

  • My weekly bin check is a razor, can of shaving foam, a sample of moisturiser, a facial wash, two packs of facial wipes and a can of dry shampoo.

    A better week this week :beer:

    This week I have used up a pot of moisture surge and a pot of mineral foundation. One less foundation left now and in the pot of tinted moisturiser is starting to show the bottom of the jar so I might concentrate on using this up for a few weeks

  • Hi all, not much to report used a small tube of body lotion that I carry whilst travelling to my OH's every weekend. Got a few bottles runnong low so they should go this week. They all seem to go at the same time and then nothing for weeks!

    Just wondering - what are the things we would always replace no matter what the cost would be?

    We would replace them because we use them all to the end and can see the benefits of using them and don't leave them stashed in the stock cupboard

    As for me, starting off with

    Decleor balm essential
    Decleor aromessence oils
    Moisturisers - Clinique redness solutions, Liz Earle skin repair
    Cleansers - Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, Decleor Cleanser

    Currently in the process of using up a body cream and toner on their way to being empty and the cut open redness face base still has a few weeks left to go before its gone
