@ShortEricamy totals for last year was 409 empties.  I want to at least hit that again, but my stretch goal is actually 500.  I think with how much more I've been masking I'll be able to hit it if I stay strong and keep trying to use my stash and not just hoping from one product to another (this is something that I'm prone to... "oh look something new and shiny").

My dentist mentioned that to me and pretty much just said that I need to remember that not everyone has the same colour of teeth.  The bleach is only able to get your teeth back closer to their natural colour, not whiter.  I still have a box and a half of strips so I'll keep using them but my hopes are not high.

[ShortErica]

I'll be cheering you on with those empties @missjeanie.

And hopefully setting your expectations low may yield a pleasant surprise with your teeth.

Oh @ShortErica  I almost forgot... Nope, I haven't found anything better than the biore yet!  I have another nose strip type product to try out in the next few weeks too, but it's a bit different than the biore so we'll see.

Cleaning off the empties shelf. 

The absolute loves that always get repurchased:

The likes- items I would definitely consider purchasing in the future:

The mehs that were just ok:

And the Destash/Oh Nos that didn't work out AT ALL:

@quspork 

I've got the banana Briogeo sitting half used in my closet; I didn't like it much either. The conditioner was fine, and maybe I'll use it up some day, but I never liked the shampoo. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one! 

I don't think I've tried the Aquage dry shampoo...how bad is it? I feel like I was supposed to get it in a gwp bag, but got a mousse or something instead, and I was annoyed because dry shampoo is just about my favorite thing to try lol. 

[quspork]

@RGbrown The Aquage came in a GWP bag from Ulta, I'm almost positive. But it's truly the worst dry shampoo I've ever tried LOL. It sprays way too much product and it's impossible to work it into your hair. It left such a disgusting mess of my hair that I ended up needing to go ahead and wash it.

@quspork 

Ew, I guess I'm glad I didn't get it then 😑

[heartsmyface]

@quspork Ahhhh, not the banana products!   Well that goes to show things don’t work for everyone. I’m super curious about that Erborian cleansing milk.  I LOVE their primers!  

[quspork]

@heartsmyface The Ginseng milk is more of a toner but I love it. I think I have one more bottle to use, but it's been hard to find recently so I'm thinking it may have been discontinued ::sad face:: It really makes my skin glow and evens out my tone, all while adding some nice light hydration. It's such a great product- I hate to see it go!

[lmaster]

@quspork I was very close to purchasing the briogeo kit today with banana,, but I did get the apple version,,, I hope it doesn't dry my hair out 😣

[quspork]

I hope it works out for you, @lmaster! I know lots of people have loved the Briogeo shampoos and conditioners, I wish it had worked out a little better for me. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your experience is a better one!

[lmaster]

@quspork I rotate products so much, if it doesn't work for me,, my daughter or sons will use it,, but I'm still hoping 🤞

[CookieGirl1]

@quspork I'm so sorry that the briogeo products didn't work out for you! I actually love the banana conditioner although I'm not a huge fan of the shampoo. I'm going through mine too quickly and it kind of pains me since it's kind of expensive, lol. 

[quspork]

So many people love them, @CookieGirl1 it was disappointing to see they don't work for my hair haha!

[AMK721]

@quspork  Ooooo I'm curious as to why the Briogeo Superfoods Banana + Coconut Nourishing Conditioner 12.5 oz / 369 mL is a No. 

[quspork]

They just didn't work out well for my hair unfortunately, @AMK721. It's a shame because the products smell delicious, but they left my hair extremely dry and I had a ton of product build up on my scalp, which isn't usually a problem. I tried both together and with other products that I know work for me, but unfortunately I just couldn't make either of these work. 

[jen81]

@quspork  I had the same issue with their apple and kale shampoo and conditioner . Dried out my scalp!

[quspork]

That's a shame, @jen81. No one needs a dry scalp!

[AMK721]

@quspork  gotcha. Thanks for the feedback.

[GG84]

@quspork 

I didn’t even know Philosophy made hand cream! I  detest aquage. 

[quspork]

Definitely check out the hand creams if you get the chance, @GG84. There's usually a good set of 4 different scents around the holidays. And yeah, that aquage was definitely terrible.
