@Weetart Nice empties! I have never tried anything from Snail Bee.

[quspork]

@Mellmars1185 The company for that is called Benton and the Snail Bee High Content line is one of their most popular lines. I adore several products from it. If you're at all interested in K-beauty, I highly recommend the brand! 

@Weetart have you used the regular essence? I'm curious how the ultimate serum compares. 

[Weetart]

@quspork I have tried them both! I do find regular essence to be highly effective. I am going with this one because it works with my current routine. I went through a phase using their entire line and found that just using the face masks to work the best on their own for my skin. It really saturates and there isn't much more I need to moisturize. I have combo, more on the normal side skin.

Thanks for the feedback, @Weetart!

@Weetart Great job on those empties 🙂 How did you like the Laneige mask?

[Weetart]

I love it. I use a night cream and it is light enough to work with it and helps seal everything in. I have tried all the other Laneige sleeping masks and none of them compare in my opinion. I hope the reformation doesn’t muck with it too much!

[QueenMarceline]

@Weetart Thanks so much for your reply 🙂 I have a sample of this on hand and have been wanting to try it but my skin is going through some weird stuff right now so I am steering clear of "trying out" new products for the time being but I'm very curious about this one. So glad it works well for you!

November and December. I like all of these products and many of them are HG/repurchases. Rare occurrence!

[QueenMarceline]

@lnum I have that creme shop witch mask to try as a recent purchase, how did you like it? Also that tatcha sunscreen is my absolute favorite and the Herbivore Jasmine oil is delectable. Some very great products there 🙂

[lnum]

@QueenMarceline I really liked this crème shop mask, I’ve noticed their limited edition ones are always quite pleasant. This one was hydrating and balancing for me. 

[QueenMarceline]

@lnum Can't wait to give it a go. 🙂 Thanks!

[ather]

@lnum  Wow great job! The Kosas sport? Repurchase? Thoughts?

[lnum]

@ather I did repurchase the body wash. I like the mild scent, it cleanses without stripping, and it works well with exfoliating gloves. I also find it to be very gentle for an aha product. Without gloves or a loofah I find I have to use a lot but I don’t use this everyday, I rotate between an aha scrub, a gentle soap bar, and this body wash.

Great empties! @lnum 

[heartsmyface]

@lnum  Nice!!  That Jasmine green tea toner  looks appealing to me.  Is it more moisturizing or drying?  
Also, the fresh seaberry is something I’ve looked at multiple times.  Would you reccomended it? 

[lnum]

@heartsmyface I would say the toner is balancing so more in the middle. I liked the scent of toner a lot. I love the fresh sea berry skin nutrition booster but it was discontinued and this was my last one. I found the oil to be a little heavy for my oily skin so that’s why I preferred the booster. Right now I am using Summer Fridays Heavenly Sixteen All-In-One Face Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL and I like it a lot.

[ather]

@lnum  Oooooo so happy to hear that. I actually have that one next. I’m excited to try it now!!

[heartsmyface]

@lnum   Aw, thank you,  well, another discontinued item of curiosity off my list.  ha, I don’t need any more face oils at this time but if the seaberry were still around, all I needed was a little push. 😅

[lmaster]

Oh excellent job @lnum 

[Mellmars1185]

@lnum Wow! Look at all of those empties! Very organized and neat. Some nice products in there!

All favorites, and I already have back-ups!

Spoiler

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is always a favorites - for well over a decade.  I have over half a dozen on hand - no pun intended!

LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Pear is a good afternoon balm for me.  I used this one every day (once a day) and I swear it must have lasted two years.  Once the warmer weather hits I'll be reaching for my second tube - right now my lips are too dry for this.

The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL has been a nice addition since around fall time, making my skin more supple.  I don't care for the packaging, but the price is right.

Paul Mitchell Hot off the Press flat iron spray is a HG for me.  I literally have double-digit back-ups.

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum is something I've been using for over a decade.  I use a lot, and it still takes me forever to use up a bottle.

Matrix Oil Wonders Hair Oil took me at least 8 years to use up - and to be honest I depot-ed about an ounce into a smaller bottle.  It's been discontinued, but I still have another bottle or two.  

Paula's Choice Antioxidant Pore Purifier has become a must-have for me.  It makes my skin more glowy, and the little but of BHA has really helped at night.  I don't like that it doesn't come in an airtight package, as this tube did oxidize.  But, I like it so much I will overlook that point.  

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting BHA 9 Treatment 0.3 oz/ 9 mL is another HG for me that I always rave about.  I barely have to worry about blackheads with this in my arsenal.
