The Bathroom shelf, January 2017.


Every six months or so I check in and share a look at what is currently on my bathroom shelf. (I find it interesting to see which products I have swapped out and which ones I have repurchased or may still be using). I also have extra skincare items in my bathroom medicine cabinet but these tend to be either things that are unopened or things that I only use occasionally. Recently, I have been keeping almost empty products right next to my sink as I find I tend to concentrate on using them up if they are somewhat in the way!

Above is my current bathroom shelf, the lower photo is the shelf as it was in June 2016.

Currently the top shelf (starting from the left) has a scent diffuser and a couple of facial sprays. 
The facial sprays are all different as I tend to use these up fairly quickly and like to try out different ones. 
The two make up bags contain samples, one has face masks and lip balms, the other has products for hair and body - I am currently trying to work my way through some of my hair care and body samples as I have accumulated quite a lot of them of late. 
Finally on this shelf are my hair care products: hair sprays, salt sprays, texturising sprays and dry shampoos along with leave in conditioners and treatments. The hair products are all exactly the same the only difference is that I am using a mini tube of Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream instead of a full sized one. (With the exception of a leave in cream I don't use hair products daily so they always last me for some time).

The middle shelf holds my perfumes, day and nighttime moisturisers, eye creams, serums, facial oils and a couple of masks.
My perfume selection remains the same. 
All the moisturisers and eye creams are different. I do miss having Sarah Chapman Daily Defense Moisturiser to hand so I will repurchase that at some point. As for serums, Sunday Riley Good Genes is still on the shelf this time around (of course) although it is a new bottle but  I'm still working my way through the same bottle of Peter Thomas Roth Retinol Fusion PM (most likely because I love using Good Genes so much I rarely pick up any other night time serum!).
Last time it looked as if I were endeavoring to use up a lot of mini serums during the day, this time I am back to using my favourite serum for daytime, Sarah Chapman Intense Hydrating Booster. Unfortunately it is running low and I will be replacing it with something else soon as I have other hydrating serums in stock to use up before I repurchase it. 
I finally finished my bottle of Sunday Riley Artemis Oil which I enjoyed a lot - it did a great job of balancing my skin and I am sure I will buy this again before too long. This time around however I replaced it with Caudalie Vinosource Overnight Recovery Oil purely because I fancied a change. I'm still working my way through Aurelia Cell Repair Night Oil which is lovely to use and smells wonderful. I use this regularly but it is a huge bottle and a little of it goes a long way so it may still be on the shelf next time around!!
I have maybe half an application of Caudalie Glycolic Mask left but have to confess to not even having opened Unani Dermo Defense Mask yet.


The bottom shelf has cotton wool cotton buds and flossers in old candle jars along with sunscreen, glycolic toning liquid and pads, a softening toner and some face washes.  
The glycolic toners are the same, although that is a new tub of Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme, I really like the Nip+Fab pads, they are easy to use and great value for money. 
Surprisingly this time around I don't have a bottle of my favourite Kiehl's Ultra Facial Toner on the shelf. Instead I have been using Dr Dennis Gross C+Collagen Mist.
Cleansers are the products that I tend to change around the most and this time they are all different to before. After an absence from my shelf I'm enjoying using Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip again so much I think I may have to make this a staple in my cleansing wardrobe. MV Organics 9 Oil Cleansing Tonic is almost empty, I have loved using this whenever my skin feels compromised but will be replacing it with May Lindstrom Pendulum Potion, a similar product which I have waiting to be opened. 
Overall not too much has changed in the last six months or so, I may finally be developing a loyalty to certain products it seems!
