May Empties coming up!

I've added a teal not quite halfway not quite thumbs up icon for some products that are fine but just aren't quite a true thumbs up for me.

You may say hey, that DEVACURL - One Condition Original Daily Cream Conditionerdoes not look empty. Ah, you would be correct. It was empty and I've refilled it due to shower space. 😉

@ShortErica Love the idea to refill your products! Thanks for sharing!

Best,
Rebecca

[lmaster]

wow @ShortErica you powered through that deodorant!!

[ShortErica]

Yep @lmaster. I was serious about completely testing it. 🙂

[lmaster]

I swear you are so funny! Plastic on your armpits @ShortErica 😂

[Cyncynn]

@lmaster the plastic bit made me laugh out loud.

@ShortErica I also find that the natural deodorants work well for me during workouts, but sometimes don't hold up all that well after a long regular day. From the natural deodorants I've tried (I'm committed on finding the perfect one), I really like the one from Lavanila the best. The Lavender (just the lavender) one from tisserand is good too.

[ShortErica]

@Cyncynn very good to know. I'm not sure which natural one I will try next but I'm taking notes. I believe @faeriegirl likes Kopari but did not like Schmidt's. Have you tried either of those?

[lmaster]

@ShortErica have you seen Love beauty and planet coconut and Ylang Ylang energizing deodorant? It's really good too

[ShortErica]

No I haven't @lmaster. Thanks for sharing. Geez I will need to figure out which one to put to the test next!

[Cyncynn]

@ShortErica I tried the Schmidt in stick form. It did work, but I wonder if it was because the scent was so strong it overwhelmed anything else lol -  I tried the Jasmine Tea variety. 

The next one I want to try is the Myro (I love the package!).

[ShortErica]

I've never heard of Myro @Cyncynn. There seem to be a lot of options I need to research. Thanks! Let me know if you try the Myro one.

I think I noted the new Skyn Gels in your mask basket @ShortErica. As you branch out, you will likely find something you like better. As far as adherence and brightening, I haven’t found anything that compares. Although yes...it’s all temporary anyway 🙄

[ShortErica]

If it's one of the top, that's good to know @eshoe. Like the biore nose strips, unless someone convinces me otherwise, I don't need to try any other kinds...though with eye masks I will try others because masks and experimenting are my fun and "me" time. Now if only they could make permanent results with eye gels!

April empties!! 🙂

Loves

• Mizon All In One Snail Repair Cream – my skin really responds well to this cream
• Moschino So Real – love the fresh, light, slightly sweet and subtly citrusy scent
• Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine – the first fragrance from Atelier that I purchased was the Orange Sanguine and it still remains one of my favorite from the brand
• Indeed Labs Hydraluron – the combination of this hyaluronic acid serum and the Mizon All In One worked amazingly well to keep my skin hydrated and moisturized as it was going through a post-professional peel flaking stage and with dealing with different weather/climate and air plane air that comes with travel

Likes

• Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum – I have a deep like for this beauty, but there are a couple of hydrating serums that I like more, like the Hydraluron.
• Sephora Collection Melting Shower Jelly – Pillow Battle – the packaging on this is convenient and fun with the flat base at the bottom. The lightly floral-ish scent is very subtle too.
• Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion Intense – most cushion compacts are not hydrating enough for my skin, but this is a good one
• Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Oil – I like incorporating this one in my rotation during the colder / cooler months or when my skin is prone to being extra dry. This is also a great substitute for moisturizer on nights when I just need to shortcut in my skincare routine but also need to know that my skin will be adequately moisturized
• Biossance Squalane + Probiotic Gel Moisturizer – I was pleasantly surprised how hydrating this was for being a gel moisturizer; most of the time, gel moisturizers are not emollient enough for my dehydrated combo/dry skin

Maybes

• Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream – this is fine enough but not my favorite eye cream. I did try it as a moisturizer but prefer the consistency of the All-In-One cream.
• Amika The Wizard Detangling Primer – this is a nice detangler, I like that it comes in a spray pump. I use my hair masks as detanglers and leave-in conditioners but this is a nice one for traveling.
• bliss Lemon + Sage Body Butter – I feel like I’ve been working on this body butter for ages, but I’m finally done! Yay! It smells nice and moisturizes well. I just don’t instinctively think of reaching for this one, even when I set it aside as something I wanted to finish.

@itsfi  You just reminded me I wanted to try the SC body wash! K... gotta go inventory body wash and see if I’ll let myself order! 

[itsfi]

Just to let you know @missjeanie, there's now a third scent among the Sephora Collection body washes. I haven't tried out the new one but it seems like it would be good. 🙂

[missjeanie]

I went and did a check... I probably have enough body wash for the next 6 years @itsfi .  Okay, maybe more like 2.  But now I need to check out the new scent.  I'm going to try to make it to a store this coming weekend and I'm putting them on my list to sniff.  I can't believe I forgot last weekend!

[angelKiss24]

@itsfi that Sulwhasoo packaging is beautiful!

[itsfi]

@angelKiss24, it is. 🙂 I'm glad that the cushion compact worked out well, but I told myself when I first received it that if the color or formula didn't work out that I would keep toting the compact around and use it for the mirror. It's very pretty to look at. 😉 

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi I love the ATELIER COLOGNE - Clémentine California Cologne Absolue Pure Perfumein the summer, especially.  It smells so refreshing :).

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, I find myself gravitating to the citrus scents from the Atelier fragrances so I will definitely give the California Clementine a try; it does sound like a fabulous summer scent. I liked the Silver Iris one a while back but I tried it recently and it smelled different.
