Re: Empties - V2

@sephoraaddict918 I really sad about it. I went thru so many of those Vitamin C Silicons 😢

Re: Empties - V2

Great set of empties @blackkitty2014 ! Sorry about the TO products, I’ve had the same issue with the 2% salicylic acid ( only if I use it as a leave-on treatment ).

Re: Empties - V2

Oh no @keana1 . 😢

Re: Empties - V2

sooo many empties! Wooh! I have to ask do you love the Tatcha essence / amorepacific?

Re: Empties - V2

@SAlyFitz I really like that Tatcha essence. I will buy full-size. For the AmorePacific mist, I’d been using it since 2014. I love it. I use it as first step of my routine to open up my pores and help all the goodies after it to sink in. 

Re: Empties - V2

This is very impressive @blackkitty2014 even if it's 6 months of empties!! So sorry about the allergic reaction,, how long did it take for you to see this reaction? Or how long have you been using TO products?? Now I'm getting nervous

Re: Empties - V2

Oh no @blackkitty2014 what kind of reaction are you getting from The Ordinary products? I’ve only tried a few and I also had a strange reaction. 

Re: Empties - V2

@GG84 @lmaster I have used the Ordinary products for 2-3 yrs now. My skin loves them. But starting beginning of this year, let say if I use them for night routine, the next morning, my eyelids/face swollen so bad. Even if I’m trying to avoid the eyes about 2 days after, same thing with face. After 3-4 episodes liked that I don’t dare to try any Ordinary products again. I wonder if they change something or just my old skin acts up

Re: Empties - V2

Oh my goodness!!! @blackkitty2014 that's definitely not cool,, so sorry you are experiencing this reaction uughhh I hope this doesn't happen,, can I ask what products were you experiencing this with?

Re: Empties - V2

These 2. @lmaster As you can see I don’t have the heart throwing them out especially the Vitamin C Silicons 😢

Re: Empties - V2

@blackkitty2014 oh boy! Thank you for sharing this, I'm going to stay away from those two

Re: Empties - V2

@blackkitty2014  Oh wow... I wonder if The Ordinary had reformulated those 2 products in any way by the time you restocked them, or if this is one of those true allergic reactions that take months/years of accumulated exposure to surface. 😞 I’m sorry this happened to you. 

Re: Empties - V2

@WinglessOne I think my skin just acts up now that I’m getting old. Sigh! I thin it’s one of the case that it takes years for the allergic reaction to kick in 😢

Re: Empties - V2

Wowwy @blackkitty2014! 🙌🏼 Looky those empties! You have some fabulous products here! 😍 Tatcha and AmorePacific! *swoons* Such amazing skincare! ♥️♥️

How did you like the Erborian mousse cleanser?

Re: Empties - V2

@itsfi That one is just okay. I won’t replenish. I like the Tatcha and AmorePacific cleansers the most.

Re: Empties - V2

It’s really hard to compete with the Tatcha and AmorePacific cleansers @blackkitty2014. They both have such elegant formulations. 🥰

Ciate London Fragranced Nail Polish Remover (White Choc Pot) - my  favorite nail polish remover is the Zoya one with the pump top, but this Ciate one is great for travel and it smells good. I didn't know this remover existed until @sonnydee  gifted me this one - thank you!
Dear, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop - this is a great gentle introduction to vitamin C. The concentration of vitamin C is low compared to most products, but I did see results over time with just this one bottle. Also love that it contains centella asiatica.

Verb Ghost Oil - pleasantly surprised by this one. Argan oil can weigh my hair down and I was a little nervous when I saw that this is a thicker oil but this worked very nicely on my hair and smelled very good!
CosRx Acne Pimple Master Patch - the CosRx acne patches were the first acne patches I tried and I continue to pick up a few every so often; definitely in my top 3 acne patches
Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Radiant Vitalizing Body Gel Oil - this is a miracle worker in the winter for my soles
Shiseido Facial Cotton - the only reason I wouldn't repurchase is because I'm trying to move towards reusable rounds.

Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strip - I've yet to come across a nose strip that works as well as Biore.

JMsolution 24K Gold Premium Peptide Mask Rose Gold Limited Edition: it's a bubbling mask but it didn't really bubble at all. 
Kerastase K Resistance Length Strengthening Shampoo

L.A. Colors Nail Polish Remover (peach scented): love the scent and that the packaging makes it very portable and travel-friendly, but it takes a bit of effort and multiple pads to remove anything darker or more colorful than neutral shades. 
Tocca Montauk Sea Salt Cucumber Candle - this was just 'meh'; I would have preferred that that the scent leaned either more sea salt or more cucumber; as it were, it was hard to pick up any scent while the candle was burning. The scent was more noticeable coming straight out of the box.
Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial Masque Hydrant: I know I'm in the minority when it comes to this mask. There's nothing wrong with it; it just didn't standout for me the way other DE products do.

Re: Empties - V2

Another great month of empties @itsfi!!! I love how much the Vaseline Gel Oil makes my skin glow, but it's not enough moisture for my dry skin. I would probably need a cream to go on top, and that's too much, even for me. LOL

 

I want to move toward reusable cotton rounds too, but I still have 2 packs of the Shiseido Cotton Rounds. I wondering if I should just keep them around for backup instead of using them up. 

 

I will have to try those CosRX patches. The ZitStickas didn't really work for me. I'm currently using the Truly pink acne patches. They are pretty good at getting rid of a small pimple overnight.

Re: Empties - V2

Hahaha @sephoraaddict918! 😂 I can completely understand that - sometimes it’s asking a lot, too much, to layer products for moisture for our skin. 

Keeping the Shiseido cottons that you have as backup as you move to reusable rounds is a really good idea. The cottons will come in handy for travel as well as those days when you just can’t be bothered to launder the reusable rounds. 😆 

 

I’ll have to try the Truly patches. I’m always game for trying out acne patches; sadly I have the blemishes to use as test cases. 😝 My top 3 acne patches (so far) are Peace Out acne dots; these CosRx pimple patches and the ones by Peach Slices. 

Re: Empties - V2

😍 the ciate pots. Wish Sephora still sold them! Might have to remember about that amethyst candle. My mini loves & collects gemstones. He even carries them around in his pocket @itsfi 💜

Re: Empties - V2

Oh my goodness @sonnydee, how cute is your mini?!! 🥰 What’s his favorite color or gemstone? 

The Ciate pots are great! 💕 Thank you so much for introducing them to me. Came in handy!
