Seeing product empties is so satisfying 🙂
Post your weekly, monthly, quarterly, whenever-ly empties and let us know how you felt about them!
Previous Empties thread:
Hi @eshoe ,
This is a great set of empties! I use up the Bum Bum cream so fast! You are doing a great job with your face masks!
Best Wishes,
Janean
Thank you, @JaneanBT - I am the opposite when it comes to finishing that jar. I make it last as long as possible, it only goes on my arms and unscented cream goes on the legs. The body scrub is good, too!
@eshoe You finished up some nice products! I just added Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Visibly Firming Refillable Body Cream 8.1 oz/ 240 mLto my routine last month, and I have to agree on the great scent.
Thank you, @EuDeMa! It is such a perfect summer scent, and of course, come winter...something to remind me of summer😉
You always get your mask empties so nicely together @eshoe 👌♥️
This weeks empties.
The packaging on that Nature Republic mask is so soothing @lnum ! Glad it was a great mask too!
@lnum Urg I hate reading that the tatcha hand cream is so awesome. I literally love everything from that brand!!
@RebeccaBT I am really enjoying the aqua collagen hydrogel line from Nature Republic and will likely buy the other masks in the line to compare when stores reopen!
@lmaster I am actually pretty excited for Nature Republic to open back up! Something about their mask textures and formulas seems to really work for my skin so once I get through a bunch more of my masks I will stop by to pick up others in this aqua collagen hydrogel line.
That Tatcha hand cream @lnum!!! 😍😍😍 I found a DS of it the other day and will be savoring it! 🥰
@itsfi Isn’t it lovely? I actually adore the body butter too. I really wish both of these were cheaper or came in a value size because I think they’re just too expensive for the amount of product.
The hand cream and the body butter are wonderful, but I agree with you @lnum, the price keeps me from repurchasing them outright. 💸💸 I’ve picked up a few deluxe samples or mini’s along the way. I’m on my last DS of both the hand cream and body butter.
I’ve been trying to be selective about what I purchase this year. Last year I got my foil samples down and this year, my focus for my skincare has been DS/mini/travel and full size products that have been partially used.
@itsfi I understand. I may be one of the few people who actually doesn’t even order samples pretty frequently with my orders because I find I almost never use them unless they are something I already use and want a disposable single use for travel when I’m only bringing a carryon which used to be a few times a year but now I don’t see that happening.
This year I’m going through my deluxe sizes as well as ensuring I rotate in a bunch of FS things. I think I just needed better organization and time to think about rotating and using things up which the quarantine allowed me to do!
As always i'm very late at posting my empties and 2 months behind lol! So here's April and May combined and YTD total is 113. I can't believe we're halfway through 2020. I'm looking back at my 350 empties goal I set up in January and it doesn't seem realistic anymore. I think I'll aim for 300 instead 🙂
May - Loves
Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance™ Conditioner 8.5 oz/ 250 mL : I loved this rich conditioner. It did make my ends look smooth, hydrated and healthy. It works amazing when combined with the Olaplex n°3 treatment.
LANEIGE - Eye Sleeping Mask : I was out of eye cream for a while because I was waiting for the spring sale. I used this 2-3 times per week and it really saved my undereyes. It made them look luminous and hydrated the next morning.
BalanceMe Vitamin C Repair Serum : SO impressed by this serum. I saw results with the first application. I’m even wondering if this will replace my favorite vitamin C serum (OleHenriksen Truth Serum). It brightened my skin and improved the pigmentation. I had cystic acne when I was a teenager, so I still have a lot of scarring and still have some hormonal acne. I definitely saw improvement. It also contains hyaluronic acid so it helped my moisturizer work even better. Plus it kinda smells like Orange Tic Tac which I liked.
TOM FORD Soleil Blanc Eau de Parfum Fragrance 1.7 oz/ 50 mL perfume sampler : I absolutely LOVE this scent. It smells like sand, coconut and sunscreen. It’s both floral and amber at the same time. It’s not too intense so it doesn’t give you a headache like other floral perfume do.
All the other stuff I’ve being loving for a long time and would repurchase.
Head & Shoulders Smooth and Silky Shampoo : Helps with dandruff and does make hair really silky. I could go about 2-3 days without washing my hair.
Dior J’adore Perfume : Such a sexy and sophisticated scent. It has a very long lasting power. What I love the most are the jasmine notes.
La Mer Moisturizing Soft Cream is really great, I just don’t see myself buying a $200+ moisturizer unless it’s truly amazing, that’s why it’s not a love.
The Glamglow Eye Mask had a weird mushroom scent kinda like a bad Kombucha and was dripping with serum. The results were nice, but not the best I’ve tried.
All the other stuff was nice.
3D Crest Whitestrips : Great and almost instant results, I’ve been using these for about 5-6 years. The only downside with these is that they make your teeth really sensitive. I would maybe like to transition to an eco-friendly, simpler ingredients whitening product.
IGK First Class Dry Shampoo : Great scent, did absorb the oil at my roots, but I which it gave me a little more volume. It’s so hard to find a dry shampoo that does it all lol !!
Sephora Collection Watermelon Wipes : Love these wipes. I do prefer the coconut scent. They ended up drying in the pack, but it’s my bad because I didn’t read the ‘best before’ indicator and it was 6M (oops lol!)
The Esfolio Foot and Heel Peeling Mask was nice. I had a hard time with the plastic bags in which you put your feet. The shape was weird and the tape wouldn’t hold the plastic. I also feel like the serum didn’t distribute equally since you have to pour it in yourself. The results were great and my feet were soft. Don’t know if I would buy it again because there’s a LOT of alcohol in there, but so does a lot of other feet peels.
The other items were good!
I love and also hate you :
Milk Makeup Kush Lip Balm - Green Dragon : The packaging is sturdy and there’s a magnet to close it (even this mini size). I love the texture, the minty scent and the way it makes my lips feel soft. It’s lightweight, not sticky and doesn’t pill… BUT I constantly have to reapply and go through it really quickly. Also I feel like when it’s on, my lips feel soft, but as soon as it’s gone my lips are dry and chapped again ?! The moisturizing effect isn’t effective. I think it would work in a warmer climate, but it's not enough for the canadian winter.
Caudalie Hand Cream : Wasn’t a fan of the scent, it felt ‘old lady’ like (sorry I can’t describe the scent any other way). It made my skin feel silky and absorbs quickly, no heavy residue feeling afterwards. My cuticles and nails looked nourished and amazing... but when the COVID-19 pandemic started and I had to wash my hands like crazy (I work in an hospital + putting antiseptic gel everywhere you go) this cream barely did anything. Like the Kush Balm I felt like this moisturized 'superficially' if that makes sense.
No :
Zoeva Cat Eye Pen : The precision of the tip was great and it had a nice semi-matte black finish at first, but it dried out so so so fast. It ward hard to get an even layer. I started my wing and couldn’t finish it because the tip was running out of ink. Lasting power is also not that good, it does smudge if you wear it for an entire day.
Lumity Supplements Morning & Night ( 7 day trial kit): This is basically a blend of amino acids, vitamins & minerals supplements but 7 day trial is not enough for me to tell a difference. Did no harm but I didn’t notice any benefits.
Declutter :
Milk Makeup Cooling Water Stick : This wasn’t cooling and my skin reacted pretty badly so I had to declutter it. I tried to make it work multiple times, but I had to give up. It also tugs the skin so I don’t see why you should use this under your eyes. My skin didn’t feel hydrated.
