I love it @eshoe  @ellem I feel like we are the only ones that would ever get this! 

[ellem24]

Thank you @lmaster !

[eshoe]

@ellem24 interesting that with your skin type that Dr. Jart face mask works well for you-I’ve been wanting to try it for awhile and it’s great to hear! Also now I’m pretty interested in the OH mask, sounds fantastic, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[ellem24]

@eshoe I know it's so weird. I thought I would hate the Dr. Jart and it would be too moisturizing, but it worked perfectly. Maybe I wouldn't like it as much in the summertime.. my skin does whatever it wants lol

January 2019 Empties

Not Pictured - Equate Cotton Squares

My thoughts:

Spoiler

Hopefully I have a bit more to share in February.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 1.7 fl. oz/ 50 mL

DevaCurl B'LEAVE-IN™ Miracle Curl Plumper

[lmaster]

@ShortErica I'm 50/50 with devacurl products. some I love, some I dislike. I've noticed if I mask at least 2 times a week with some type of oul, my curls are defined for a much longer stretch

[ShortErica]

That's how I'm feeling too @lmaster. I know some people swear by the whole line and get a bit defensive about it.

The arc angel gel wasn't good for my hair. And really I feel like the conditioner is good but is it worth the extra money..I'm still trying to figure that out. Which ones are your no-no products?

[lmaster]

@ShortErica I'm so so even about the no poo cleanser and conditioner, but I rotate it, out ( I honestly prefer the b&b hairdressers invisible oil shampoo/conditioner) I do like the buildup buster micellar water cleansing serum, the frizz free volumizing foam, mister right dream curl refresher,set it free moisture lock,and the matcha butter leave in masks. I'm so so about the believe in, the arc angel, and wave maker. Dis like the heaven in hair treatment

[ShortErica]

@lmaster I figured I'd go all in with Devacurl by getting the cut and giving the products a chance. My fave has been the micellar serum. I feel like my hair has a spring after I use it. I have a nice stock of everything (just purchased more conditioner since that goes the quickest) so after this year of experiment hopefully I'll know what to keep from Devacurl in my routine and what I need to keep searching for. Can't wait to figure my hair out again.

So many empties @MoniDJ !!! I LOVE it!!

Loves:

The Erno Laszlo sooth & calm mask was a great hydrogel mask, helped my windburn winter skin so much one night when my skin was hurting from being out in the -20 cold all weekend.

The Erno Laszlo rubber mask was a lot of fun.  Crazy cooling, like my skin was actually cold to touch!  I'd buy both of these masks if I saw them on clearance again without thinking twice.

The Cream Shop Hyaluronic mask is one of the best of theirs I've tried yet, very moisturizing. 

The Papaya body scrub was so nice, smelled amazing, was just the right amount of scrub to oil.

Tony Moly Avocado mask - my face felt so smooth and looked brighter after this.

L'Occitan Almond Shower Gel - Love the scent, love how soothing this is and how soft it makes my skin.

Bite Lip Mask in Candy Cane Sample - love, already purchased

Farmacy Honey Potion - I really liked this.  Will purchase at next sale.  Should have read the instructions though... its meant to be massaged in to warm up.  I just painted it on.

Dr. Jart BB Cream - I love this stuff.  Need to buy another tube. I'm lucky theres a colour that matches me.

Clairins UV sunscreen - I prefer the tinted version that I can use as a foundation substitute, but the translucent is nice as well, this is my go to facial sunscreen.

Feria Conditioner - This stuff makes my hair feel so nice after a dye job.

Likes:

Cream Shop Peaches & Cream - this scent was lovely and lightly peachy, felt great on my skin that was drinking up moisture.

Caolin Hot and Cool Mask- this was actually a nice two step mask that I put off using for way too long.  I wouldn't mind giving this another shot to decide if I wanted the full size. 

The bumble and bumble hair mask was something that when I first tried, I didn't enjoy.  It made my hair too oily.  Well I'd been siting on a few more of these not using them.  When I tried again... hey I actually like this.  The key this time was to use it as a pre shampoo, only a few hours before showering, last time I'd used it overnight and then shampoo'd out.

Fragrance was a LaVanille that was nice, but I have other I prefer now.

Nopes:

Dr. Wellness sheet mask, barely stuck to my skin, didn't have any real benefits.  Will use up the other three over the summer when I just need to cool off.

Elizabeth Mott eye serum, this didn't really moisturize anything or have any benefits other than the gold paint flaking off on my hands whenever I used it.

Kat Von D powder, this did nothing for my skin.  I have other powders that actually make my skin look blurred and set my make up better.  This just looked meh and could easily be too cakey.

Hotel Samples -- just using them up.

This makes for 36 empties for January - I'm hoping to use up at least 400 this year!

Love love love the cut open tubes @missjeanie - get every bit out of your products! Thanks for all of your thoughts on these empties.

[missjeanie]

@ShortErica Heck Yes!  Gotta get all that goodness!

[sephoraaddict918]

So many good empties @missjeanie !!! I have that Tony Moly Avocado sheet mask in my stash right now, and I'm really looking forward to using it.

I just used The Creme Shop Hyaluronic mask last night, and I LOVE how my skin felt afterward! It was my first one from them, so now I know that's a definite go-to!

[missjeanie]

@sephoraaddict918 I really liked the Hyaluronic one.  I'll pick up more if I see them on sale again!I'm so glad you loved it as well!

[lmaster]

@missjeanie did you see L'Occtaine is coming out with a few new lip products? super excited!!

[missjeanie]

@lmaster ohhhhh... I did not!  I'd love to see more higher end tinted balms, mostly because that's what I'm into using lately! They have such lovely products, I don't think I've tried any lip products though.

[CookieGirl1]

@missjeanie  I've been on the tinted lip balm train lately too (and I'm even more excited when they're lightly scented/flavored!)

[lmaster]

As soon as I find out when they are coming out, I'll tag you @veronika23 posted about them on the beauty confidential thread listed as spring- summer 2019 releases
