@haleyvvvv very impressive empties!

haleyvvvv · ‎07-05-2020

Thank you, @lmaster!!

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

Nice job on working through your products @haleyvvvv! 💓 I have that Kerastase gwp set. Even more excited to try them after hearing your thoughts on them.

haleyvvvv · ‎07-05-2020

Thank you, @itsfi!! Definitely recommend, but FWIW I have normal to thin hair (but a lot) that's somewhat color treated with an oil scalp and I shampoo everyday. I wasn't using these everyday, but more like 2/3 days and it wasn't too heavy.

From Meh to Nah

Spoiler

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer Medium Brown- Nothing spectacular. I would buy again on sale, but it’s definitely not on the top of my list.

Calvin Klein Woman Eau de Parfum - STANK! This did not meld well with my body chemistry. It smelled like old lady perfume on me.

The Creme Shop I Am Radiant Beauty Water - Wasn’t very hydrating and didn’t make my skin look radiant.

Curlsmith Scalp Stimulator - No longer worked for my hair. I won’t be purchasing anymore.

Derma E Universal Cleansing Balm - Okay balm, but it takes time to work it into an oil. I would purchase again if it’s on sale, but it’s not on the top of my list.

Dermal Honey Grapefruit / Hyaluronate Collagen Essence Mask - There is no difference between these masks. They don’t have much serum, and my skin just feels “meh” after using them.

Armani Beauty Sì Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray- Nice enough fragrance, but not memorable.

Klorane Shampoo with Citrus Pulp - Super drying. Even after pre-pooing and mixing it with a cleansing conditioner, my hair still felt stripped of moisture.

Laura Mercier Velour Puff- I paid TOO much money for this puff to just fall apart!

Neutrogena HydroBoost Hydrating Lip Treatment - This was a nice lip balm, but the packaging just fell apart.

Not Your Mother’s Naturals Passion Fruit Kombucha and Awapuhi Ginger Leave-In Tonic - This made my hair feel sticky, and the sprayer made it almost impossible to get out any product.

Not Your Mother’s Naturals Activated Bamboo Charcoal and Purple Moonstone Scalp Scrub - Easy to work into my scalp and felt nourishing, but sometimes it was hard to wash out the jojoba beads.

Pacifica Banana Love Deep Intensive Moisture Mask - Decent only because I bought it on sale. Definitely isn’t worth the original price tag. It worked well as a pre-poo treatment, but it wasn’t rich enough to use as a deep conditioner mask.

philosophy Purity Made Simple Micellar Cleansing Water 6.7 oz/ 200 mL- Burned my eyes. Hard pass!

Ralph Lauren Romance 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray- Too much floral! Hard pass for me.

Supergoop Eye Cream with Oat Peptides - Gives whitecast, so I look like a ghost on days when I don’t wear makeup.

tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes™ 4-in-1 Mascara Black - My Ulta Diamond Gift. Good mascara, but not an amazing one. I wouldn’t buy for full price.

Ulta Poreless Face Primer - Silicon-y primer that seems like a dupe for the original Smashbox primer.

Ulta Youthful Glow Primer Serum - I like how light and hydrating this primer felt, but the dropper stopped working about half way through.

Thumbs Up! Good to Almost Perfect

Spoiler

Acure The Essential Rosehip Oil - Enjoyed using this as an oil to lock in my moisturizer during my daytime routine. I would absolutely repurchase this oil.

Acure Seriously Soothing Blue Tansy Night Oil - Loved using this as an oil during my evening routine. I would repurchase, but I’m currently using Aquaphor to lock in my moisturizer.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment - This has become a new fave as a moisturizer topper during my night routine. If it’s good enough for Beyonce, it’s definitely good for me.

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Love Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel - LOVE the smell of this scent!

Bath & Body Works Frosted Coconut Snowball Hand Soap - It doesn’t smell anything like coconut, but I actually liked the sweet scent.

Bath & Body Works Boardwalk Vanilla Cone Hand Soap - This smells more like cake batter than ice cream to me, but I’m always up for anything vanilla-scented.

beautyblender blendercleanser® solid pro- Best cleanser to get my sponges back to new.

Benefit The Porefessional Hydrate Face Primer - I’m not the biggest fan of the original Porefessional Primer. The hydrating one is better, but I’m not eager to run out and buy a full size version.

Boscia Tsubaki Oil Deep Hydrating Bio-Cellulose Mask - I hate how much packaging comes with this mask, but my dry skin loves it so much. I won’t buy this often to try to be less wasteful.

Carolina Herrera Good Girl Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray- I like this scent, but I don’t love it. I prefer the Legere version.

CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser - The CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser burned my face, but this was a great face wash to use in the shower. Even with dry skin, it didn’t feel like it stripped my skin.

CLINIQUE Dramatically Different Moisturizing Cream 1.7 oz/ 50 mL- Rich cream that my dry skin loved. I would definitely repurchase.

CLINIQUE Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser 5 oz/ 150 mL- I always come back to this cleanser because I love the mousse-like, creamy texture, and it works well as a second cleanse. It can be drying, but mixing in a little cream cleanser helps keep my face from feeling too stripped.

ColourPop Lippie Pencil - BFF3 is the perfect nude for brown girls.

The Creme Shop Hello Kitty Shooting Stars Sheet Mask - Loved the super cute Hello Kitty print, and my face felt plump after using the mask.

The Creme Shop Start Over Firming + Plumping Face Mask - Plenty of serum. The Creme Shop never disappoints!

Crepe Erase Flaw-Fix Eye Cream - This was a free Diamond Gift from Ulta because I’m off that eye cream narcotic. I liked the richness of this eye cream, but I would never buy it because this is way too expensive. I also didn’t see any amazing results to justify paying full price.

DewyTree Hyaluron Melting-Chou Mask - This has plenty of a milky serum that absolutely nourished my dry skin. I always buy this mask when I see it at World Market.

Dove Dry Spray - Staple in my beauty routine! I finally found a deodorant that keeps me dry, smells great, and doesn't leave any white marks on my clothes.

Earth Therapeutics Cracked Heel Repair - I LOVE the product, but I HATE the packaging. After I use up the one I have now, I might be done with this for a while.

FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation 445- I like it on its own, but it works amazingly mixed in with other foundations to help my base last longer for an entire work day.

Formula 10.0.6 Renewing Foot Balm - This is a good foot cream, but I’m not running out to repurchase it. I wish it was thicker for my DRY feet!

Hempz Coconut Fusion Shimmering Herbal Souffle - This body cream makes me SHIMMER, and I LOVE it!!! I would happily repurchase this.

It’s Skin Honey Mask Sheet - This smells amazing and makes my skin feel hydrated and plump.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser - Good cream cleanser that works well as a daytime cleanser or to mix in with other cleansers.

Lapcos Hyaluronic Acid Derma Mask - Nice moisturizing sheet mask. I wouldn’t run out to repurchase, but I would buy if I came across it again.

Shiseido Facial Cotton 165 sheets- The HG Cotton Rounds!

Supergoop! PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 PA++++ 2.4 oz/ 71 mL- My favorite body sunscreen!

Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF 50 PA++++ 1 oz/ 28 g - My favorite face sunscreen!

Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer 1.35 oz/ 40 mL - This feels more like a moisturizer than a primer, but it worked well with my more mattifying foundations.

Up & Up Baby Hair + Body Wash - Works great for cleaning my face brushes.

Vichy Pore Purifying Clay Mask - Clay masks usually burn a little (or sometimes a lot) when I first put them on, but this one felt creamy and gentle. I would absolutely repurchase!

Viktor&Rolf BONBON 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray- Like the sweet, carmel scent. Don’t like the lack of lasting power.

Viktor & Rolf BonBon Pastel Eau de Toilette - Sweet smell that I like, but no lasting power.

@sephoraaddict918 nice job!

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

The La Roche-Posay cleanser is a nice one @sephoraaddict918! Happy to hear the Acure oils are ones you enjoy - I’ve had a couple of their products on my list of things to try. 💗

haleyvvvv · ‎07-05-2020

Nice empties, @sephoraaddict918!! That boscia mask, totally agree, its so good but so much packaging. I wish it came in a serum, my dryish skin loves it too.

lnum · ‎07-04-2020

A couple of things I went through in the last two weeks.

Spoiler

I like all these sheet masks, but the Sephora green tea is still the winner for my regular rotation because I see real results consistently.

The Avene sheet mask, I will not repurchase because the scent, while pleasant, was so overpowering and cloying for the 15 minutes I had it on my face I could not take it.

The Lancôme serum I have used for years but finally decided I want to try something else.

The Lancôme eye cream, this stuff is a gem! If it weren’t so expensive I would repurchase but I usually always had a DS on hand because it comes with the serum often. Oh well. Plenty of other things to try!

@lnum love seeing your empties!!

lnum · ‎07-05-2020

@lmaster Thank you! It feels so good getting through things and I am loving how little by little there is more room in my drawers and on my countertops!

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

The Sephora green tea face mask is a good one. Will be interested to see how the new clean version compares with the original sheet mask @lnum.

lnum · ‎07-05-2020

@itsfi I have been thinking about that and really tempted to buy 12 of the old ones incase the clean version doesn’t give me the same results, but I refuse to break this beauty no-buy!

EuDeMa · ‎07-04-2020

These are my empties I've been stashing for 2+ months. Most products were just me finishing up things I already had open like the Bath and Body Works creams (very partial to Christmas scents). I have to say, I loved the MILK MAKEUP Hydro Grip Primer 1.52 oz/ 45 mL. I know many have raved about it, but once I actually tried it, I saw why. Now, its on my list as is the belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb 1.68 oz/ 50 mL! I also really liked the Laneige Multi Cleanser. I had this in my stockpile, but apparently it is no longer available in this formulation? If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know!

I feel so wasteful only using one shade of the Charlotte Tilbury setting powder.

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

@EuDeMa, B&BW Christmas scents are wonderful! 😍 That Christmas cocoa & mint scent sounds fabulous; will have to keep an eye out for it this year.

sephoraaddict918 · ‎07-04-2020

Nice empties @EuDeMa!! The Tarte mascara is in my empties this month too!

lmaster · ‎07-04-2020

@EuDeMa great empties!!!

sister13 · ‎07-03-2020

What a terrible picture, not sure what I was thinking! Continuing with trying to grab a few empties at a time from my giant bag of empties trash. Basically, when I finish something, I’ll grab a few more items form the stash. So, this morning I finished the May Lindstrom The Jasmine Garden skin mist. It’s truly divine, one of the best smelling skincare items I’ve ever had! Obsessed with all her line and will definitely purchase this again. Also loves: the DDG Ferulic Retinol serum, the mini rollerball of Monyette Paris perfume oil, and the Fresh large cleanser. Technically, I just transferred this into a pump dispenser a while back, so that’s not truly e,pty.

The OVM I really liked, but it’s old and Perricine Cold Plasma/Cold Plasma + sort of replaced this. So, I’ve been using it on my next and décolleté to finish it up.

The Julep Bare Face Cleansing Oil was also a love! Rinsed really clean. I got this when I was a Julep subscription a long time ago, which I cancelled, so not likely to purchase again soon since I have so many other items to get through, but I did REALLY like it. 💛💛💛

Samtian · ‎07-04-2020

@sister13 I'm going to be so sad the day I finish my May Lindstrom mist. Great job!

sister13 · ‎07-12-2020

I have to remember the May says she makes a lot of effort to make everything fresh so that we will use It fresh! But I don’t want to use it up! @Samtian 💕💕💕

itsfi · ‎07-03-2020

You went through some phenomenal skincare products here @sister13. I've only tried samples of May Lindstrom product but they are amazing!! 🙂 I hear ya on having a host of other cleansers to get through; if you are looking for the Julep cleansing oil (which is lovely!), Target now carries select Julep products, mainly the skincare line and a few makeup products.
