Re: Empties - V2

So many great loves here @l8totheparty.♥️ Those steam eye masks are fantastic! I don’t see myself without them. 😍

Re: Empties - V2

Stila mascara?? @l8totheparty 🤔 I love their liners,,, sounds like one I'm have to try

Re: Empties - V2

Coated for dayssss @lmaster ! You might like it 😊 I certainly do. I also love their liner. This mascara is applies thick, and not terribly clumpy, which is good. 

Re: Empties - V2

It's that time again!

Re: Empties - V2

Wow you made it through the YTTP cleanser, @CookieGirl1! You also must be like me, burning candles 24/7☺️

Re: Empties - V2

@eshoe it took me awhile to make it through the cleanser (any cleanser, really) because I do like to rotate through my cleansers all the time so I have, like, three in my shower. Therefore, don't ask me why I have a couple of backups of this one but I really like it, LOL. And as far as the candles? Yep. 24/7 😜

Re: Empties - V2

I'm impressed you made it through a bite mask!! @CookieGirl1 those candles!!!

Empties and a few expired products.63D2BB05-0143-4BE6-9B1C-7ACC70DCADFC.jpeg

 Grandelash mascara, TIL bakuchiol, and CT wonderglow were Nopes. B&B Sunday shampoo and DE c tango are likes but won’t repurchase.00DFB0A4-5044-4D2E-96A0-ACAB08D4C50B.jpeg

 All of these are loves and would definitely repurchase.02442C7D-DEBB-4B12-8B8B-D96499D57642.jpeg

 These expired before I could finish so I probably won’t repurchase.

Re: Empties - V2

If you try the new Herbivore I hope to hear about it, @faeriegirl . It’s one I would make an exception for on a no buy, and most definitely as a needed restock if it performs as well as the original!

Re: Empties - V2

This is a great collection of empties, @faeriegirl!

Re: Empties - V2

Love your empties! Sorry some of the products were no gos for you @faeriegirl 

Re: Empties - V2

Loves- repeated repurchases (I am so sad that Goodal has discontinued the Waterest Oil!)

Likes- These are all fine, and I'd probably use them again but I'm not running out to re-purchase.

Not For Me- I used them, they didn't cause major issues, but they just didn't work well for my skin and hair.

Destash- Honestly, these were so bad, I couldn't finish them. Did not work for me at all.

Re: Empties - V2

Re: Empties - V2

@quspork the cosrx honey mask is out of this world!!! I need to remember to have it in one of my favorites for the month!! 

Re: Empties - V2

It really is a great sleeping mask, @lmaster! I'm glad to hear you're liking it too.

August Empties (Skincare)

 

Skincare EmptiesSkincare Empties

Spoiler

Acure Ultra Hydrating Green Juice Cleanser

Results - Works well as a second cleanse; Leaves my skin clean without feeling stripped. Aroma - Fresh and slightly earthy; The scent is light and doesn’t linger Texture - Creamy Expense - $12.99 4.0 oz; Lasts for months; I would repurchase especially since there is always a sale.

Acure Ultra Hydrating Watermelon Seed Oil

Results - Easy absorbs into my skin, but still makes my dry skin feel nourished and gives it a healthy glow; It works well in my daytime routine as my last step before sunscreen. Aroma - None Texture - Lightweight  Expense - $19.99 1.0 oz; I would definitely repurchase. Acure is often on sale at Ulta, and I can always use a coupon.

Boscia Tsubaki Oil Deep Hydrating Bio-Cellulose Mask

Results - Plump and hydrated skin Aroma -  Floral Texture - Cotton mask with lots of serum and contoured my face well, but it can be difficult to take off the protective layers. Expense - $8; It is pricey, but I would buy again for the bonus points. It might be discontinued because it’s no longer available at Ulta.

Clinique All About Eyes Serum 

Results - Hydrated under eye area  Aroma - None; Fragrance Free  Texture - Viscous gel Expense - $34 0.5 oz; This lasts so long that it was about $2 cheaper when I bought it! I would repurchase.

CosRX Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence

Results - Hydrated, plump skin  Aroma - Nothing noticeable Texture - Watery Gel Expense - $24 3.38 oz; Lasts for months; I would definitely repurchase

Dermalogica Precleanse

Results - Easily and gently removes makeup without any irritation Aroma - Earthy Citrus Texture - Light Expense - $45 5.1 oz; This is ridiculously expensive; I would only repurchase during a sale. 

Essenherb Canola Honey Mask 

Results - Hydrated skin Aroma - Sweet Floral Texture - Cotton mask with slightly sticky serum, but there wasn’t enough serum for me Expense - $3.97; I wouldn’t go out of my way for this mask, especially for this price. I wasn’t wowed.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Barriair Cream

Results - Moisturized skin  Aroma - None; Fragrance Free Texture - Snot-like Mousse Expense - $30 1.5 oz; I wouldn’t purchase the full size because I hate the texture.

Formula 10.0.6 Soak Your Face Intensive Hydrating Sheet Mask

Results - Super hydrated skin Aroma - Light Floral Texture - Juicy cotton mask that was a little small for my face, but had plenty of extra serum to rub in Expense - $7.49; 3 masks for less then $10? Heck, yeah I would repurchase!

Heritage Store Rose Petals Rosewater

Results - Damp, lightly scented skin Aroma - Rose petals Texture - Light spritz Expense - $10.29 8.0 oz; I enjoyed this sample, so I would buy the full size to use in between routine steps. It’s not at the top of the list though.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Toner

Results - Plump, hydrated skin Aroma - Nothing noticeable Texture - Milky, emollient liquid Expense - $18 8.5 oz; I splash a bit in my hands, then pat it into my skin, so this bottle lasts a long time. This has become one of my favorite hydrating toners, so I would definitely repurchase.

Mario Badescu Facial Spray (Cucumber / Lavender / Rosewater)

Results - Keeps skin damp between routine steps  Aroma - Cucumber smells fruity; Lavender has aromatic lavender scent; Rosewater smells like artificial roses Texture - Light mist Expense - $7 4.0 oz / $12 8.0 oz; I would definitely repurchase. The Rosewater used to be my fave, but Cucumber has moved to the top spot. 

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrogel Mask

Results - Hydrated skin Aroma - Has a light sweet scent; Fragrance is listed in the ingredients Texture - Slippery hydrogel mask that doesn’t stick to my face well Expense - $3.99; I hate this mask, but I love the results. It comes in two parts. It’s hard to get on, and it slides all over the place. I still keep buying it though because the results don’t lie.

Physicians Formula The Perfect Matcha Cleansing Balm

Results - Gently removes makeup and leaves skin feeling nourished Aroma - Light fruity scent, but it doesn’t linger Texture - Balm melts quickly without a lot of manipulation Expense - $14.99 1.4 oz.; This is overpriced because I run through it quickly, but I can often buy it on sale. I would only repurchase at the discount price.

Quret Snail Lifting Care Mask

Results - Moisturized skin Aroma - Don’t remember a strong scent, but fragrance is listed Texture - I expected plenty of slimy, sticky serum, but it was just a basic sheet mask with hardly any serum. Expense - $1.97; Even at the discount price, I’m not repurchasing.

Sephora Pumpkin Face Mask

Results - Face feels plump and hydrated Aroma - No pumpkin, just vanilla Texture - Plenty of moisturizing serum on a cotton mask that adhered to my face with ease  Expense - $6; I bought it for $3, so I would repurchase at the price. “It’s a no for me dawg” at the regular price.

Simple Hydrating Sheet Mask

Results - Super hydrated skin (as promised)  Aroma - Didn’t notice any scents; Advertised as having no artificial fragrances Texture - Cotton mask full of watery serum! Expense - $4.29; I absolutely LOVED this mask! I’ve already bought 2 more the last time I was at CVS.

Simple Kind to Skin Mini Micellar Cleansing Water

Results - Gets rid of makeup residue before second cleanse, but sometimes irritates my eyes Aroma - None; Has no artificial fragrance Texture - Water Expense - Don’t remember how much I paid for it since it’s no longer available at Ulta. It doesn’t matter because I won’t repurchase.

Sunday Riley CEO Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream

Results - Moisturized skin, but my skin sometimes felt a little irritated from it. Aroma - Light citrusy scent that doesn’t linger Texture - Rich and creamy; Great for dry skin Expense - $22 0.5 oz; This is the epitome of overpriced. I received this as an Ulta Diamond gift, and I would never purchase this on my own accord. 

Truly Hemp Acne Patches

Results - Reduced pimples … sometimes Aroma - None Texture - Sticker Expense - $13 36 patches; These are really hit or miss for me. The patches are cute, but it’s not worth it if they only sometimes get rid of the zits.

Truly Star Acne Patches

Results - Reduced pimples … sometimes, and doesn’t reduce scarring Aroma - None Texture - Sticker Expense - $10 36 patches; Super cute, but not very effective  

Re: Empties - V2

@sephoraaddict918 this is not the first time I've seen that texture is an issue with the FAB,,, that'll definitely be a pass for me to try

Re: Empties - V2

Great empties all around, @sephoraaddict918 !! Thats too bad about the Boscia mask, I hope it isnt discontinued. 

Spoiler
The jab about the FAB moisturizer texture had me cackling.

 

Re: Empties - V2

Same @haleyvvvv!! I hope it's just some kind of reformulation or redesigned packaging. 

Re: Empties - V2
