    eBay would be a good place to start.

    I use Reddit to sell unwanted or unsuitable products. But eBay would be a good place to try first :)

  • Two UU

    The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid Serum - probably WNBA, found it a little too sticky on my skin
    NUXE Nuxellence Eclat - WNBA, nothing against it but wouldn't spend my own money on it (was a gift) -
    Only 6 more moisturisers to go :eek:

    Hi, I'm looking at what I won't realistically use before expiry and have several premium brand skincare items I think would sell. Where's the best place to sell from your experience.. is it eBay or are there more specific skincare sites? Thank you.

    I list items across 3 different websites - Ebay, Vinted and Depop. I find Ebay a bit saturated recently and it is becoming harder to sell. There are too many professional sellers on Ebay and as a private seller, I find it hard to be seen. Facebook is also a good place to sell.

    Two UUs- Merumaya Luxury Facial Wash. Really good for my combination skin and it helped me to control my hormonal acne. Since I've been using Merumaya products (nearly 7 weeks now), my skin is much clearer and better. The only issue I have with this is packaging. It is not the best.

    Other UU is a deluxe sample of REN Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel. It is refreshing but I haven't used enough to see if it makes a difference obviously.

    I have a uu

    Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Mask 500ml - WDBA, I love this, it really helps my parched hair, it is expensive but I only need to use it once a week so a pot this size lasts ages. I have a 1L pot in the stash so no need to buy yet.

  • Another UU

    Fair Trade Cane Sugar Travel Size Shower Gel - 40ml Part of a travel set given to me at Christmas 2016. I think travel shower sets are okay if you are away on a short business trip but any longer than three days then you might as well take a full sized bottle, especially if you shower every day. WNBA if it was available, not very fragrant, more manly than female fragrance. It did lather up quite well and although it was a little tube it lasted for three showers.

    Botanics eye cream
    Liz Earle Orange Flower body wash 500ml
    Nivea Pore deodorant
    Jessica Phenomenon Oil mini
    [STRIKE]L'Occitane Lavender liquid soap
    First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Cleanser
    [/STRIKE]Elemis PCMC 15ml
    Kind Natured shampoo
    [STRIKE]OPI Nail Polish remover mini bottle [/STRIKE]
    ESSIE Gel Setter top coat

    The body wash, deodorant and shampoo are getting very low. I have however decanted two tubes of PCMC into the pot as one had an air bubble and I couldn't squeeze it and the other was part used (by Emma) so this will take a little longer to finish.

    5 by Spring:-

    Benefit Dallas blush
    Eyeshadow from Smashbox Full Exposure palette

    Have put these as joint as they are both well underway

    Sephora by OPI JUST A Little Dangerous
    Laura Geller Balance N Brighten
    L'Occitane Amber and Santal fragrance
    Laura Mercier Grey Pearl Caviar stick

    I am really hoping that the Dallas blush will be finished this week!

    Sixth Anniversary 100 Posts Combo Breaker Uniform Washer
    Hi, I would like to join please? I have been stock taking yesterday and have 62 products. It doesn't seem like much but for me, it's alot.

    I don't count anything that belongs to my partner even though he has a full bathroom drawer lol. He thinks he uses everything! He doesn't. I don't count toothpaste or handwash as we both use that and I only have one IN at a time and replace when almost empty.

    UU Miss Patisserie shower Steamer from a local shop abit like 'Lush'. It was a gift and smelled of aromatherapy oils, pleasant smell.

    GA
    Soap bar to my partner to use as it dries out my skin. A gift for xmas. Lovely smell, had the handwash with it as a set which is in use at the bathroom sink. so that's 2/62 lol. I have lots of already opened body butters, foot creams etc so trying to start using them more :)
