I’m talking “down to the last drops, squeezing the life out of the tube, banging the bottle against the side of the sink” finished. Mine was this now unfortunate tube of Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom Body Butter. Yes, I cut it in half 
to extract every last drop (my precious!).
How about you? What was the last face or body beauty product you finished?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

March 27th, 2011 at 4:25 pmThey are both about equally moisturizing but if you have oily skin I recommend the gel. I seem to breakout less with it.
Kim says
March 28th, 2011 at 5:39 amI used the moisturizer forever, too. I’ve been using CeraVe for about a month now and like it even more (and no breakouts). If you’re ever looking for a new moisturizer, you might like this one. 🙂
Amy Evans says
March 28th, 2011 at 6:00 amTaffy-I have worked @ Clinique in the past & I always would suggest the gel bc it doesnt have the mineral oil in it. Minerl oil is horriable for your skin!!! So from now on I would highly suggest you switch to the gel-your skin will love you for it 🙂

March 28th, 2011 at 10:53 amThat’s very interesting that you say that Amy! I’ve always used DDML but I guess I’m lucky because I’ve got great skin, especially for someone my age. 43 years old, no wrinkles and I don’t have breakouts. I might give the gel a try to see the difference but I seem to be doing ok so far. 🙂

March 27th, 2011 at 2:11 pmSt. Ives Restoring 24 Hour lotion. Love that stuff and yes it lasts and the smell is delish. Yay no more itchy dry thighs! The beauty is that I always get a new one when I’m low so when the old one is out the new one is in.

March 28th, 2011 at 10:26 amGlad to know I’m not the only hoarder. Mine is half from buying something and then being scared to try it. And half from hoarding the ones I try and like. And then there are the ones I tried but didn’t like but keep anyway just in case. I just went through my face stuff and it was amazing how many containers I had laying around. 😉

And Burt’s Bees “Milk & Honey Body Lotion”. Lushly moisturizing w/out greasiness, and the smell…de.vine! Sadly it was “reformulated”, which translates to messed w/ perfection. Not at all the same product. 🙁

March 29th, 2011 at 5:59 amThe Body Shop Moringa Milk Body Lotion, and I debated for a while whether I should cut the bottle open or not… (eventually I decided not to, because I want to wash it and reuse it for homemade cosmetic experiments, and anyway the lotion is liquid and there is hardly any left inside). Goodbye Moringa Milk! You smelled so good! :'( I won’t repurchase though: as soon as I finished it I darted off to get myself the L’Erbolario Méharées Body Cream ^_^ Yes, I am a product w***e…

March 29th, 2011 at 7:18 amOrigins’ Brighter by Nature Serum. It comes in a little bottle with pump and soon as I couldn’t pump anything out, I’d open the pump part and just use my finger to scoop out the lotion. As much as I love this product, I couldn’t wait to try other Origins products.. so soon as I ran out of it I grabbed the Modern Fusion Serum and it’s going great so far!
