It sure is @CookieGirl1 ! I used to date a gentlemen who traveled a lot for work. He used to have this thing about keeping the shampoos and bringing them home each trip. I happen to have a thing about wasting. I felt the need to use up everything. I'm hopeful that I'll be done with them this month. Maybe January.

l8totheparty · ‎12-15-2019

Amazing! Good job getting through your products. @missjeanie I also like the lipglow and milk mascara.

itsfi · ‎12-14-2019

Whoa! 500! You’re so close @missjeanie! I know you can do it! Do you have an idea what your goal will be for 2020?

missjeanie · ‎12-14-2019

Right now I’m thinking if I could hit 730, or average 2 a day I’d be super excited @itsfi . I’d like to be more consistant in my sheet masking and use up more delux samples next year so I think it might be able to happen. Keep in mind I count foils too, so I’m looking for achievable, but consistency!

itsfi · ‎12-14-2019

You’ll get there @missjeanie! I agree, consistency is key.

missjeanie · ‎12-14-2019

Just read through some of the January 2019 empties, I love seeing people’s trash! Fou d out id set my goal at 400 empties for the year! Wohoo! Hoping I can get to 500 now then set a new goal for 2020!

emaisgr8 · ‎12-16-2019

Congrats on hitting your goal @missjeanie

missjeanie · ‎12-22-2019

Thanks @emaisgr8 !!! Feels awesome to have accomplished a New Years resolution after 40 years of trying lol

My October empties

Spoiler

It feels like I’ve been out of town for work at least once a week for the last couple of months and these Muji travel pre-soaked diffuser reeds have been a nice way to make my hotel rooms feel a little more like home. I discovered this when I was in the store and there were only two scents available, this one has a citrus scent, leans lemon-ish without smelling like Pledge; the other scent is more floral, geranium and lavender based, if I’m remembering correctly. I may pick up the other scent the next time I’m in the store to see how it compares.

Ran out of my first cleanser when I was out of town so I hopped into a Sephora to pick up a sample of the Tatcha The Camellia Oil 2-in-1 Makeup Remover & Cleanser 5.1 oz/ 150 mL (and I also picked up some goodies while I was there – heehee!); this cleansing oil is one of my favorites, especially in the cooler months. While I was there, I’ve been wanting to try the Tatcha The Silk Cream 1.7 / 50 and asked for a sample of that as well. It wasn’t bad; I think I need a larger sampling to know if it’s something I’d be interested in purchasing; hopefully there’ll be a mini/travel size or promo available for it.

Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer 1.35 oz/ 40 mL is one of my go to’s when it comes to hydrating primers; love it. I picked up the full size of the spray version so we'll see how that one compares to this primer. AMOREPACIFIC - Treatment Enzyme Peel Cleansing Powder is a HG for me. I have it in multiple sizes – mini, DS, promo, and I’m pretty sure I have it in a full size as well.

Looking at the pic of my empties it looks like I was on a lemon-scented kick here – the L’Occitane Citrus Verbena hand cream has a great consistency and a nice fresh, citrusy scent that’s perfect as a pick me up any time of the day. I have a plethora of hand creams that I’m determined to work through before picking any more up so we’ll see if this one becomes one I’d purchase.

SUPERGOOP! - Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 is one of the chemical sunscreens that has changed my mind about chemical sunscreens. My preference is still for physical sunscreens but this one has a great texture and feel and doesn’t make my skin breakout like chemical sunscreens before it did. It wears well under makeup because it doesn’t leave any white cast, another thing I love about it. It can sometimes make my skin look greasy which is a con; I find that to be the case when my skin is on the oilier side. Still debating whether I want to pick up a full size of this one; I have another mini sample of this one, maybe two, actually so I’m not in a hurry to decide.

I’m on the fence over the belif Peat Miracle Revital Eye Cream 0.84 oz/ 25 mL; I have a feeling eye creams will be the skincare product I focus on next year and by that I mean, I’ll want to find one or two that are my go to’s. I thought I might try to figure that out this year but I’ve been distracted by other beauty products.

I’ve finally gone through a jar of the Herbivore Blue Tansy BHA and Enzyme Pore Refining Mask 2 oz/ 60 mL. This has been a long time in the making, in large part because I’ve been rotating through a handful of clarifying skincare products. It’s a good product and my skin responds well to it, but there are others that I like more so it won’t be a repurchase. I’m on the fence over the CLINIQUE Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover 3.8 oz/ 125 mL – it’s been my go to / HG first cleansing balm for the longest time, over 5 years now, I think. I still find it a great cleansing balm; there are just others out there that I have a slight preference for, like the Farmacy Green Clean. I am working through another full size jar of the Clinique and it may be that I determine having two balm style first cleansers isn’t a bad thing.

Hi @itsfi,

Lots of awesome empties!

Best,
Rebecca

itsfi · ‎11-10-2019

Thank you @RebeccaBT! It was a good month for getting through things! 💕

CC3616 · ‎11-04-2019

Nice empties @itsfi ! My two favorite tatcha products. The travel diffusers sound interesting, always nice to have something homey on the road.

itsfi · ‎11-04-2019

Thank you @CC3616! 🤗 I love the Tatcha cleansing oil!! ♥️ I’m debating over the silk cream or the dewy skin cream.

l8totheparty · ‎11-04-2019

Great job. I like your thought process here, and I will have to try that clinique take the day off balm if I come across a sample size. @itsfi

itsfi · ‎11-04-2019

Thank you @l8totheparty. It’s so nice that there are all these great options when it comes to cleansers. Are there cleansers that you are loving?

l8totheparty · ‎11-04-2019

I use Farmacy Green Clean every night, and I've been using the Dr. Brandt hydro biotic cleanser in the morning for the last 3-4 months (so nice and gentle!). I've also started, and can't complain about, the OLEHENRIKSEN - The Clean Truth™ Foaming Cleanser

I haven't used the First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser 5 oz/ 150 mL enough to form a solid opinion, but it's in my travel bag and I have no complaints using it.

Of course the Enzyme cleaning powder is great, I use it in the mornings sometimes if I remember .

You?

I almost bought an Olehendriksen CT this sale, then realized I have enough trial sizes of others to last me a little while. Gotta use up some of the stash, considering the stash only started collecting this year as I've made my way to a betterskin-care routine. Lol

@itsfi

emaisgr8 · ‎11-04-2019

Nice job @itsfi Especially on the full sizes!

itsfi · ‎11-04-2019

The full sizes are definitely the more challenging ones @emaisgr8, especially if it’s not a product I use every day.

sephoraaddict918 · ‎11-04-2019

Nice set of empties @itsfi!!!

itsfi · ‎11-04-2019

Thank you @sephoraaddict918! 🤗 I’ve been working through a lot of products that were open and just sitting on my shelf. Feels good to be making some dents in my collection, figuring out which are must have’s and making room for other products. 🥰

lmaster · ‎11-04-2019

there's something amazing about the farmacy cleansing balm! @itsfi I can say, I'll probably stick with this brand for a long time 😉
