Product Addict

Maire15 — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 23:08:58 GMT

Hello again everyone! I have so many products from so many brands I don’t know what to do with myself. In a plastic box by my chair (where I sleep) and a wicker basket in my closet I have everything from CereVe on the low end to Dermalogica, and various products from those lines. Then there are the Keihl’s gift sets I gifted to myself two years ago that sit unopened. I have Morrocanoil and Caudalie and Vaseline for my hands. Farmacy, Caudalie (a favorite), Josie Maran, and more CereVe and Morroccanoil and Fenty in my bathroom. That’s not to mention the cosmetics I have contained in a very large makeup bag but are creeping out into the bathroom clutter.

is anyone else like me? Do you stick to one line at a time? Or one “set” composed of different brands? Am I abnormal, LOL

Thanks

The Skin Care Hoarder

@Maire15 I try to use up what I have and mix brands. I go through my beauty products quarterly to see what needs to be kept, tossed or used more.

I mix brands as I find many different things that work for me. I use GWP, foils and deluxe samples while on vacation.

@Maire15 I definitely mix brands. I like to go through my stash from time to time tho to see what is older and should be made a priority to use. But I have gone through my closet before and discovered body washes and lotions that I purchased and forgotten about lol.

Haha, this post made me chuckle. I really never cared much about face creams or serums in the past but since the days of yesteryear are beginning to show I have become a believer of skincare. Admittedly, I’m quickly becoming a product collector like you

cheers

Another product junkie here! I go through stages...I was a huge Kiehl's fan for years (when you could only get it at Neiman Marcus, ugh!) then moved through a bunch of others. My current fave is Glow Recipe, their serums are pretty awesome, in particular the Avocado serum for redness. I just got the Guava Serum for dark spots. I've been a fan of theirs for a while. I am also a fan of Ole Henriksen.

I don’t know about normal or abnormal, but I’m definitely like you @Maire15

As I get on in years, I realized the need to maintain or even improve my skin and found that Sephora Favorite kits and beauty box subscriptions were awesome to identify products that work for me. These of course are not all of the same brand. And I keep wanting to try new products and am also a sucker for GWPs.

I’ve slowed down recently on the purchases to actually use up what I’ve already bought, especially since I do have some HG/tried and true/re-purchased products.
