Seeing product empties is so satisfying 🙂

Post your weekly, monthly, quarterly, whenever-ly empties and let us know how you felt about them!

That’s so funny you say that @missjeanie; I felt like it took forever (I picked it up when it first launched at the beginning of January so 4 full months) to get through the Drunk Elephant mask - there’s a lot of product in that container, which is great bang for the buck but it made me think it was automatically refilling itself. Hahaha! 😆 I don’t think I’d repurchase. I use it primarily as an overnight mask or daytime moisturizer and to say I have plenty of those on hand already is a bit of an understatement. 😉

Time has certainly been warped for me on this one @itsfi ! I understand completely about not repurchasing.  I'm thinking I'll snag a little or a sample at some point but for some reason this one just doesn't have me drawn in to make a purchase.

My thoughts on the foils and DS products can be found on the Use Your Foil Samples Challenge 2019 - https://community.sephora.com/t5/Beauty-Confidential/Use-Your-Foil-Samples-Challenge-2019/m-p/448190...#M347050.  

Love

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water – LOVE this stuff! In years past, I tried different micellar waters but I always come back to this one.  Now, I don’t even bother trying out the new ones. This is THE ONE. ❤️

Like

First Aid Beauty Radiance Peel Pads – these are gentle enough to use every day. They’re also a great way to introduce chemical exfoliants into your skincare routine or for days when my skin is particular sensitive and I want to use a chemical exfoliant but don’t want to overdo it with my skin.

Neogen Demalogy Green Tea Real Fresh Foam Cleanser – I’m on a search for a favorite second cleanser and this one is definitely in the running. I haven’t repurchased … yet, since I’m testing out other cleansers but this one is pretty good and I will likely pick up another one (my second!) during the spring sale. It foams up but it doesn’t strip my skin; I can use this cleanser year-round but I think it works best in the spring, summer and early fall seasons.

Ole Henriksen Discover the Truth 3-in-1 Melting Cleanser – this cleanser seems to have been discontinued which is shame because it did a nice job of cleansing the skin and it was one of those cleansers you could use as a first or second cleanser, or both.

Maybe

Blithe Velvet Yam Pressed Serum – this is a serum-moisturizer in one and it’s not bad, but I prefer the Chaga Tundra version from the same brand.

Love, Beauty & Planet Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Body Wash – I like that it’s a vegan and cruelty-free brand. This is a fine shower gel, with a subtle fresh-floral scent to it. I’m on a low buy and looking to use the products I have so I won’t be repurchasing this one anytime soon, but if I were running low on body wash, I wouldn’t hesitate repurchasing this one or picking up another body wash from this line.

Meh

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair BarriAir Cream – this has an interesting texture to it; like a slightly viscous gel cream. It’s a fine moisturizer and I can make it work for me by layering hydrating essences and serums underneath the FAB product, but I don’t think it’s well suited for someone with dry or dehydrated skin. I can see this cream working out really well for those with normal or combination skin types.

Wow, great job, @itsfi!

[itsfi]

Thank you @curlychiquita; I'm trying to use what I have before opening up new products. 

[CC3616]

So many FS in there @itsfi !! Great empties.

[itsfi]

Thank you @CC3616! Since I'm working on using what I have, I've pulled out all my products that have been opened and am working my way through those first. It's amazing how many FS products I have that have 1/4 left, 1/2 left or even ones that I just have a handful of uses left.

[eshoe]

Good to know about the FAB pads @itsfi . I have a sample pack from the Favorites set that I’ve been afraid to open, it sounds like they will be gentle enough though😊

[itsfi]

@eshoe @these FAB Radiance Pads are the most gentle peel pads I’ve used. Will be interested to know how you like them.

[keana1]

So many empties @itsfi ! Thanks for the mini review of the FAB Ultra Repair Barriair Cream, I had hearted it for a future purchase, I’m so glad that I didn’t buy it! I thought that it would be great for dry/very dry skin! I guess I was wrong!

[itsfi]

@keana1 it’s a nice moisturizer; I just don’t think it’s enough for dry skin on its own; at least not in the winter. 

[keana1]

I’ll continue using the FAB Ultra Repair Cream @itsfi ! Thanks! 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi Nice job with empties!😍

I keep hearing raving reviews on that Bioderma! I think it's time to finally try it! Where do you usually buy it?

You also just reminded me that I have a tub of that OleHenriksen Melting Cleanser I still need to try! I didn't know it was discontinued! – I guess that makes sense I was able to find it at TJ Maxx! 😢

[itsfi]

@Shosh85 I usually get the Bioderma through beautylish(dot)com or amazon. I’ll send you a PM for a retailer that is local to you. 😊 About the OH cleanser, @GalPalVal17 mentioned that it’s available on the OH site. 😃 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi Oooh, thanks so much! I would really love to try it! 😍

It's great to hear the OH Cleanser is still available! 👌

[scott1201]

Welcome to the empty club, @itsfi ! 

Lots of great empties here, which, reminds me, I need to use up my FIRST AID BEAUTY - Facial Radiance Pads

[itsfi]

Thank you @scott1201! The FAB peel pads are great! 😃

[GalPalVal17]

@itsfi  I think they still sell the OH melting cleanser on their site. I've yet to try it but thanks for the review on it.

[itsfi]

Ooh, thanks so much @GalPalVal17! 😃

[Buootiful]

I love those FAB pads too! @itsfi I remember someone gave a tip to cut the pads in half for day and night. It sounds great but I tried and it kept falling to the floor, it was too small for my face, lol 🙂

[itsfi]

@Buootiful I end up using the entire pad - I use it on my neck, face and then if there’s still product, I sometimes swipe in on both elbows. 😊 Gotta get all the use of one pad as I can. 😂
