Do You Finish Every Beauty Product Every Time?

Do you? Or do you tend to only use half of it and then move onto something newer? Then what do you do with the leftover beauty products? Sometimes I got really bored with using the same bottle forever, and when I got something newer, I can't wait to use the new product. Then I would use the leftover on my body and finish it up *laughs*. Not very intelligent, but at least I am not wasting.

It's rare when I do finish a beauty product. The only ones that I seem to finish are lip gloss. With things like facial cleansers/moisturizers/shampoos I switch very often because I'm always looking for the "right" product and never finding it. So I end up with a big bucket full of products I don't use as I feel bad throwing them away. The thing is that when I buy something, I'll buy the whole line as I like to use products together. So I end up with entire lines of haircare/beauty care that I don't use. Right now I'm trying to use up a line of facial care that I bought and some haircare. When they are done I will be buying some organic homemade products that are local to me from Etsy.com. I'm hoping these will be healthier for my skin and work so well that I won't have half used products laying around.

I used to be really bad for that, I would be useing one things and I would see something one sale or whatever and I would buy that and start useing it and then never finish useing up the first thing I had. I'm don't do that anymore though, we bought a house last year and we have to be more careful with money now, so when I see things on sale I buy a few and put them away and then I use ALL of one bottle before moving on to another.

hi wonderice! i don't usually buy beauty products, i seldom change to new ones because i'm afraid to do so. its seldom that i find a product that really works for me so i don't often change brands. but at times that i do try a new one, i usually try them immediately so i can see if they are effective or not. if its not effective and i reacted badly to it, i would stop using it and just throw it away. and then i use again my old brand. but if its effective, i would continue using it and throw away the old one. i remember there was a beauty product recommended to me by a colleague. i was convinced and i bought a set even if its expensive. it turns out that it wasn't effective to me after a few weeks of using and i got so frustrated so i stopped using it and went back to my old brand. i threw the recommended products away even if it cost me a lot.

It is too difficult for me to finish the beauty products every time. It seems it's an impossible mission for me, haha. That is because sometimes I see another beauty product, I will be attracted and I can't help buying it. Therefore, I will never finish the old one. Sometimes I give it to my mom so that it may finish sooner:) I love China

I almost never finish them, and being a frugal tightwad that annoys me, but I just do get tired of them.

Yea when I find something I couldn't finish, that annoys me and I use it on my body instead just to get rid of it quickly *laughs*.

beauty products range - Different beauty products range..
It depends on what product I am using. If it is hair care product I finish them off because I always buy small bottle (shampoo or conditioner) so that I can get fresh bottle without waiting for long. If it is skin care product, it needs to change as per the climate. Sometimes, if a cream suits u in summer but may not suit u in winter climate. So it needs to be changed. Otherwise I try to utilize what I buy.

Hello wondericequeen, Very simple answer - No, I don't *laughs* I always use half of it or if I don't like it, it is not even half used. Like you, I always use them on my body (as long as it can be used on body...) As for shampoo or shower creme, I will use them to make the bathroom smells good *smiles* It is not wasting too, isn't it?
