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:
@faeriegirl destash!!! Farmacy?? 😣 I'm so sad to see that,,, its my favorite,,, great empties, nonetheless 😊
@lmaster That serum is normally great but I had swapped for it on a subscription box site and it smelled really bad so I couldn’t use it.
Love the honey bear @faeriegirl and nice updated profile pic too!
@ShortErica I thought the same think about @faeriegirl 's new profile picture 🙂 Once I use down some of my other hair masks I will definitely have to pick the honeybear up.
Have you tried a lot of hair masks @l8totheparty? Any standouts and any duds?

I recommend perusing this thread for top hair masks, @ShortErica
July Empties - for me this is a lot and August I'll have some full size things too. Woohoo to adding to the count!
I also found that the Obagi required a fair bit of pumps (from the DS size) to get good coverage; makes me think I'd quickly go through a full size. Nice job on the empties, @ShortErica!!
Thanks @haleyvvvv! I got 6 uses out of the 5ml sample so that would be ~60 uses for the full size so a little less than a dollar a use. That just seems like a lot to me.
Glad you got to try out the Caolion @ShortErica , I believe they have a few different versions of the masks and some I preferred more than others. I think the one that heated up was my favourite. Good info on the LRP sunscreen, I've had that one on my list to check out and just haven't gotten to it yet. Might need to move it to the bottom of the list lol.
I'm following along with your natural deodorant journey as well. I'll be curious to see how you like the kopari. I just ordered three new native ones and thus far they've been good through an 11 hour shift waiting tables and bartending. I was sweaty for sure, but I was sweaty all over my body since it was a crazy hot day and I was outside. But... I didn't stink! lol. I might need to check out the kopari if you end up loving it.
@missjeanie the one thing about the LRP is that because it was a sample, I'm not sure of a date on it. I snagged a different LRP sunscreen, a tinted one, from the dermatologist so I'll report if it is better.
And for deodorant, it's been interesting. My latest Schmidt's is a sensitive skin one so no baking soda. Curious to see if there's a difference because of that. Did you get some new Native scents? Which one(s) are your favorite?
I did decide to finally toss my Schmidt's as it just wasn't for me. The scent (Pineapple Coconut) was too strong and changed from a tropical scent to something pretty not quite right once I was wearing it, and it left wayyyyy too many white marks on my clothes, and I never felt like I had that clean feeling with it. I ended up buying three more Native ones in a pack and I'm alternating between two of them right now. I like that they have a standard set of scents as well as seasonal ones so it'll be fun to look at them again in the colder months and pick out new ones. The scent on these ones aren't too strong so they fade nicely into my skin.
Let us know how the new LRP turns out, I love quite a few things from the brand so I'm curious about the SPF.
Too crazy @missjeanie ..the one I'm using now is Pineapple Coconut. I'm not crazy about the scent but it is the least overwhelming of the ones I've tried..at least in recent memory (sage+lavender and the rose ones). I agree about the white marks. I think the other scents didn't leave them as bad as this one.
And with LRP, I've read/heard some positive things about their products and SPF. I think I tried a different spf (in a sample packet) that was also a dud. Maybe that packaging just doesn't work for the product or they were old. I bought one of their cleansers to replace the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser once I'm done with it. 🤞
@ShortErica The Cicaplast B5 Baume from LRP is one of my favourites of their products so far. I have very dry skin especially in the winter and it makes a great moisturizer. The only product of theirs I haven't enjoyed so far was a cleansing oil for the body. It worked fine, next to no lather, and I was clean. But I need a little more joy in my showers. I need a nice fragrance or feel on the skin.. something ... more. lol. LRP is a line my dermatologist recommends all the time so I keep trying more of their stuff. I want to pick up their HA serum next.
Ooo let me know what you think of the HA @missjeanie. @faeriegirl posted about finding a replacement/cheaper alternative for Drunk Elephant B-Hydra™ Intensive Hydration Serum with Hyaluronic Acid 1.69 oz/ 50 mL so she might be curious too since from my quick Google it seems to be HA and B5.
@ShortErica @faeriegirl I've used up a few bottles of the DE BHydra. I tend to be dry skinned, especially in the cooler months and found that it was okay, but not amazing as a hydrating serum for me. I've since polished off the Versed Hyaluronic Acid (it was way too watery for my liking but did deliver a similar level of hydration as DE), and an Inkey List HA (it was okay but didn't wow me in any way, I also tried adding their fpolyglutamic acid to this and while again, it was fine, I still wasn't wow'd) this combo was better than the Versed for me simply in ease of use. I'm currently working with a Bioderma Hydrabio Serum and so far I really like this one. I have a deluxe sample I've been using for almost a week and I could easily see myself grabbing a full size. Its got nice spreadability on my skin, I feel super hydrated using this with a few different moisturizers after that aren't exactly all stars for me. My skin doesn't feel dry in the mornings in at all and the little bit of fragrance isn't noticeable to me (last ingredient). I still have serums here in my 'to open' drawer, I believe PTR and TCS, and Sweet Chef... maybe lol. I hope you find a great hydrator faeriegirl, I'll try to keep an ear/eye out for how your dupe search goes, hopefully some of this helps a bit!
