The Bathroom Shelf: August 2017.

August 2017.

Normally I post a picture of my bathroom shelf with comments every six months but this time around I'm a little tardy - the last time I did so was in January. I like to do this to compare and contrast the products on the shelf and see what I've finished, what I'm still using, what's new and what I have repurchased. 

In addition to this shelf I have a cupboard under the sink and a medicine cabinet with unopened back up and replacement products as well as a selection of things that I am trying to use up sitting on the counter top next to my sink. Body care, shampoos and conditioners live in my bath area and I have a separate vanity in my bedroom where I keep my make up, along with skincare samples.

On the top shelf my Nest scent diffuser is still going strong. In front of that I have a sun screen spray for my body and a mineral spritz that I also use for my body. One of the two make up bags contains lip balms and face mask samples, the other contains samples of haircare. In the center is my current facial SPF, Lancome Bienfait UV. On the right side are a selection of hairsprays, leave in conditioners and texturisers.

On the left of the middle shelf is my current selection of perfumes. (I know a bathroom isn't the ideal storage space for them but my apartment is quite bright and this is one of the few places that doesn't get any natural light.) I haven't finished any up from before but I have two new Diptyque fragrances here, Oud Palao and Eau Duelle
Next are my moisturisers, Shiseido Ibuki, Zelens 3t Complex and Darphin Exquisage Cream. (I have almost finished the Shiseido and Zelens). Then there is my current eye cream Darphin Stimulskin Plus Divine Eye Cream, three night serums/oils - Sunday Riley Good Genes (this is always on my shelf), Peter Thomas Roth Retinol Fusion PM (which I have finally nearly finished), and Kypris 1,000 Roses Elixir. My daytime serum is also here, Darphin Exquisage Serum

From the left on the bottom shelf are pots with cotton wool pads, cotton buds and tooth flossers. Then there is my daytime toner which is Mario Badescu Aloe, Herb and Rosewater Spray and two night time exfoliating toners - an almost empty pot of Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Xtreme Pads and a bottle of P50 1970 (yes I finally bought a bottle and it is as fabulous as I expected with impressive results, so of course, I'm mad I didn't get it before!). I have another bottle of my favourite eye make up remover, Kiehls Extra Gentle Eye Make Up Remover and then some summer friendly cleansers, Tata Harper Purifying CleanserMario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel and a small bottle of May Lindstrom Pendulum Potion. Finally behind the cleansers is a tube of Acure Brightening Facial Scrub
   
January 2017.

Here's a picture of my shelf in January and I'm surprised how much change there is this time around. With the exception of the perfumes and some of the hair products almost everything is different. The only products duplicated are the Nip+Fab Pads and Good Genes, and both of those are products that have been replaced rather than being the exact same ones!
