I have finished a little pan of Stila eyeshadow in a champagne pink colour, it was taken from a little palette and I had it in one of the 7 by ........ challenges for quite a while.  Every last bit of it is now gone, it was lovely and I will miss it but I have a full size Benefit Creaseless Cream in rsvp which is similar, I also have UD sin in my Naked palette and a couple of other shadows which are along the same lines.

RSVP is such a lovely colour.  I also have Sin.  I am making a concerted effort this week to wear Too Faced Push Up every day as a base.  It's nice with a shimmery colour on top.

I'm doing quite well with skincare this month as well.  Have a few tubes that are cut open.  I hit pan in a blush this morning too - the Hourglass Luminous Glow one from the Edit 4 palette.  Not getting too excited though as it is the tiniest speck of waffle that I can see right at the edge.

Avon Pomegranate & Peony Bubble Bath 1L - this was our last bubble bath but I do have a huge bag of epsom salts.

Greetings all ...

I have so much stuff I don't even know where to begin! Lotions and potions to last a lifetime. Any thoughts on how to make a dent?  I've had a few starts and stops with this group over the years ... because that's what I do:  start and stop, start and stop. Here I am, starting again

Hi @anita_incognita and welcome, you are in a safe space

I would start with some quick wins, use up any half used items, then move on to mini or travel size as these take up a lot of space for not a lot of product.  Repurpose items you are not so keen on, so a body wash that doesn't suit you could become a handwash or shampoo used to wash jumpers, conditioner is good as a shaving cream etc.  Have a sort out and gift some items to family and friends or a local refuge or food bank.

I'm sure someone else will have some other ideas.

Good luck and enjoy some extra pampering, that's what I have been doing!

A makeup use up no less.

Poppy King Lip Crayon in Singing - I bought several of these crayons when Boots had them on clearance for £2, they are really lovely, glossy, easy to apply and stay on for hours.  This one was quite a bright blue toned pink which I really liked for summer, I prefer a semi sheer red for autumn/winter but this was so close to being done I just wanted to finish it.  I have 3  more left in other shades.

Hello everyone, thank you for the new thread, and hope you are all well.

I came back from a short trip and UU'ed a couple of minis during my time away; 2 x perfume samples, 1 travel size toothpaste, and 1 travel size Nip+Fab Glycolic Pads.

I also sold a Victoria Beckham lipstick today and posted it. This was from the Cult Beauty advent calendar and I have too many nude lipsticks so decided to sell it.

I also UU'ed a full size The Beauty Bay Vitamin C Moisturiser and Origins Refreshing Eye Creams. Both were nice enough to use but nothing extraordinary, may buy them again one day.

I don't know about you but I have a real love/hate relationship with nude lipsticks.  I once panned a mini Marc Jacobs one called Sonic Truth and I'm working on Jeffrey Starr's Christmas Cookied liquid lipstick.  With both I started off not liking them at all and then grew to really enjoy them.  Not enough to repurchase, though.

I'm the same. As I get older, I find myself leaning towards more lively colours and finding nudes a bit boring! However, a good nude lipstick is always worth it.

I was in Barcelona for a week and visited the Kiko store there and purchased their 3 of their Smart color mascaras (burgundy, navy blue, and jungle green) and 2 lipglosses. So 5 in. I keep meaning to try a color mascara for a while and for 5.99 Euros, I thought I should give it a go.

I have sold 7 sheet mascaras on eBay as a bundle as I had to many of them.

Also UU'ed Clarins Bi-Serum Intensif Serum 15 ml. This was a GWP and it does a good job at hydrating the skin but I am not sure if I would buy it again as I found the pump a bit annoying.

LyonsLeaf Beauty Balm 60g - I use this to remove makeup although it can be used as a moisturiser as well.  Have another this size in the stash and a smaller jar.  WBA

Korres Fig Body Lotion 250ml - lovely scent, quite a unisex scent too.

Hi All

A couple of very small UUs last night, 2 sachets of SBC Superfruits Shower Gel and a sachet of L'Occitane body lotion so £2 put in the savings tin.

I've run out of my perfume, Bamboo from Gucci, and bought a new one as it was discounted heavily for Black Friday. I also bought a bottle of Flash.

I have UU'ed a Clarins Mini, Multi Active Jour. I love how this feels on my skin. Also UUed Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser. I buy this often and it never disappoints.
