Thank you @emiie but I can’t take credit for it-just passing the tip along 🙂

itsfi · ‎02-11-2020

Nice empties @emiie! I’ve heard good things about the Clarins toner; I made a note to look into it for the warmer months when my skin is more combination.

emiie · ‎03-11-2020

I really enjoy this one Clarins toner @itsfi ! 🙂 I would definitely recommend it for spring and summer

January empties:

Spoiler

Skinfix Eczema+ Hand Repair Cream 3 oz/ 89 mL: still my favorite cold weather hand cream. This tube’s not 100% empty; I haven’t cut it open yet, but will soon. There’s maybe enough still in there for a couple days’ use.

Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Lightweight Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid 2 oz / 59 m...: still my favorite AM and PM moisturizer.

PEACE OUT - Acne Healing Dots: I like to apply a leave-on salicylic acid gel to pimples, and then top them with these dots. It’s an effective double down treatment for me.

The Creme Shop Turmeric Face Mask: I reserve these masks for times when my skin truly needs an anti-inflammation boost, so I don’t end up running through them too quickly. I love them.

The OOZOO Bear Water-Bang Hydrating Mask: another of my favorite masks. I used 5 of these in January but saved only 1 envelope because I, um, forgot to save the other 4 empties. 😄

Paula’s Choice Clear Pore-Normalizing Cleanser: my 2% BHA cleanser. at night, I usually alternate between this and Paula’s Choice Hydralight cleanser when my skin’s in acne mode. To get the BHA benefit, I let this cleanser sit on my skin for a couple minutes before rinsing, and it doesn’t strip my dry zones.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion: yet another bottle of my favorite body lotion finished.

SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner: someday I’ll probably find a conditioner my hair loves even more. But in the last 10 years, nothing’s compared to this stuff.

THE ORDINARY - Buffet: I don’t use this daily anymore, but apparently I use it often enough to have lost count of how many bottles I’ve gone through.

Scunci No Damage flat hair ties: I included a brand new one in the photo. These don’t chew up my kinky-coily hair and they stay put all day. It takes a while to stretch one out to the point of “can’t use it anymore.” Been using and loving them for years to hold my hair in smaller buns (usually double buns).

Drunk Elephant Lala Retro™ Nourishing Whipped Refillable Moisturizer 1.69 oz/ 50 mL: this is one of my DS jars, and it’s actually the old version of Lala. I have 2 more DS, I think. I should decant them to one of my smaller airless vacuum pump jars soon.

Likes/okays

Farmacy Coconut Gel Sheet Mask - Hydrating 0.78 oz/ 23 mL: this one was expired (note the old version of packaging) but I used it anyway because a little danger keeps life spicy. 😄 I’ve used these masks before with no trouble. They’re not my favorite hydrating masks but, eh, they’re okay.

Goodwipes Body Wipes: used a couple on bedridden days.

TonyMoly Panda’s Dream Eye Patch: these were about to expire, so I used them up last month. They’re not bad but, like too many masks and patches, they’re quite fragranced. They do feel nice but when I remove them and all the serum sinks in, I don’t get much of a moisturizing after-effect. Still, they were nice to wear during my epsom salt soaks, especially with the eye flaps closed.

Nope

Neogence N3 Ceramide Moisturizing Mask: my first and only time using this sheet mask. It’s too heavily fragranced for me and caused borderline-burning tingling on a few parts of my face during the first 5 minutes of use. Didn’t leave my face feeling very moisturized. And I think it contributed to some dryness I noticed the next evening.

If I find anyone who likes these masks, I’ll give them my remaining 7. These are no-gos for me.

Hi @WinglessOne ,

I have been loving THE ORDINARY - Buffet! It keeps my skin really smooth. Great set of empties!

Best Wishes,

Janean

Brutalitops · ‎02-06-2020

Good bunch of empties at @WinglessOne ! How does the Ordinary serum work for you?

WinglessOne · ‎02-06-2020

@Brutalitops Buffet’s been in my skincare routine for a year. At first, I used it each morning. Then I switched to using it at night. Either way, it’s a nice big boost of peptides that help the rest of my skincare products work better. Its hyaluronic acid helps keep my skin hydrated. My favorite way to use it now is to spritz the YTTP Adaptogen Mist over it: the HA in Buffet draws moisture from the YTTP mist to my skin like a magnet and holds it there.

I find Buffet needs time to fully soak into skin, otherwise it’ll pill under anything you layer over it. I give it 2-3 minutes to soak in. The serum has a nice smooth consistency, not watery or thick and syrupy, and not sticky. The only thing I don’t like about Buffet is the glass bottle and dropper: I don’t hate them, but I always transfer the serum to a reusable airless vacuum pump bottle because I prefer that delivery system over the glass dropper. Plus, I hate traveling with glass dropper bottles. But yeah, Buffet is great stuff!

Brutalitops · ‎02-07-2020

Good to know @WinglessOne , especially since I’ve been using the YTTP most too ☺️

snoflakefaerie · ‎02-04-2020

I have a whole box of those Creme Shop Turmeric masks that I need to get to using. I think you have inspired me!

I haven't tried the Peace Out acne dots, but I love the CosRx ones. They are so effective, it's almost magical. I've recently tried a Shea Moisture conditioning mask that I have been really impressed with; I am encouraged to try more of their products.

Good set of empties @WinglessOne.

lmaster · ‎02-03-2020

Gotta love the oozoo bear @WinglessOne 😉

sephoraaddict918 · ‎02-03-2020

Nice empties @WinglessOne!!! I've used the Oozoo Bear mask a few times before too, and I absolutely LOVE it!!!

CookieGirl1 · ‎02-01-2020

Starting the year off on a good foot!

Would it be one of my Empties WITHOUT B&BW candles or Mac Fix+?Liked everything except the dry shampoo--I've gone through a couple of this rendition and while i love the scent, it leaves my hair with a film on it that I don't like. I repurchased something else.No standouts good or bad EXCEPT the NatureLab Tokyo shampoo and conditioner which sapped the life out of my hair.My favorites from the bunch were the Fresh Sugar balm (again, can't have an Empties without at least one of them!) and the Sephora Collection Primer.Not Empties but I'm decluttering them both. The Living Proof Prime Style Extender gets great reviews and I was really excited to try it but it literally did NOTHING for my hair. The Wander Beauty Nude Illusion foundation was a huge disappointment as well because it's one that i'd wanted to try for awhile based off of some very positive reviews from a couple of YouTubers that I really trust/enjoy. However, it was a complete and utter fail for me; it oxidized and regardless of any moisturizer, primer, powder, etc that I used it aged me about 20 years and showed fine lines that I didn't even know I had. Byeeeeee.

lmaster · ‎02-03-2020

@CookieGirl1 oooooo I see some amazing candles!!

itsfi · ‎02-02-2020

Oh those candles @CookieGirl1! Nicely done!! 😃

CookieGirl1 · ‎02-02-2020

I'm a sucker for Bath and Body Works candles, @itsfi 🙂

itsfi · ‎02-02-2020

It’s hard not to be @CookieGirl1! It’s easy to go a little crazy in that store! 💕 So many great smelling candles!!

sephoraaddict918 · ‎02-02-2020

So many good empties @CookieGirl1!!!! I LOVE Fresh Cream!!!

missjeanie · ‎02-02-2020

Great set of empties @CookieGirl1 ! I think I have one of those Dove body polishes waiting in my stash, glad to know it's a good one.

eshoe · ‎02-02-2020

Oh wow that foundation doesn’t sound agreeable at all, @CookieGirl1! yikes.
