@Weetart Funny, I just decluttered that same Clinique foundation for the same reasons!  I used to like it a looooong time ago and now I'm not sure why.

Empties / Declutter for the month. A lot of my declutter goes into a giveaway pile for whenever friends or relatives visit (albeit it’s not often) but in this case these were “expired” or dried out. I say “expired” because I don’t think they actually are, they’re in pumps (mostly) and don’t look or smell funky but they all say 2020 and I still have plenty of foundations after decluttering these so it’s probably for the best. 

Thoughts:

• I would honestly repurchase the Healthy Skin (discontinued) and the Flower Beauty foundations. Very nice, with a more dewy, natural finish. I’d probably skip the other foundations although none of them were bad. 
• I would also repurchase the Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum and the Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One AHA Lactic Acid Treatment but not the Allies of Skin Vitamin C serum. The AoS is good, but it’s an oil so it’s harder to use in the morning since I don’t usually have enough time to let it absorb as much as I would like
• I wouldn’t repurchase the Claris’s because friggin everything pills over it. Good serum but annoying to use.
• The Youth To The People Triple Peptide Hydrating + Firming Oasis Serum with Hyaluronic Acid 1 oz/ 30 mL is nice but it’s an HA serum, I’m not sure if it’s worth the price for me.
• The jar your can’t see the label of is the Pacifica Vegan Ceramide Barrier Face cream. I would repurchase and recommend it because it’s nice and thick but absorbs quickly.
• The Beekman Bakuchiol oil went rancid too fast. I quite liked it but I think I’d pick a travel size if I do repurchase it.
• Love the Peter Thomas Roth Mega-Rich™ Body Lotion 8 oz it’s so nice. Would repurchase for sure (though hopefully at a steep discount like I did this tube). 
• The Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47 2 oz/ 60 mL (Jumbo) is a staple and will be repurchased in the near future. Same goes for the Youth To The People Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Refillable Cleanser (already have backups).
• The No Poreblem primer is just not for me. My skincare is usually my primer and pores aren’t really an issue for me. This bottle is VERY old.
• Finally, the CP shadows are just too old and dry now and the only shade still available is Empire, which I might repurchase. I regret saying goodbye to Paradox which is an awesome red.

- Also forgot to take a picture of the Peter Thomas Roth Mini Water Drench ® Hyaluronic Hydrating Moisturizer SPF 45 0.67 oz/ 20 mL that I finished (full size). It was a repurchase and I still like it, though it will make my eyes water if it gets in there at the end of the day. Might repurchase in the future.

Nice job working through the decluttering and emptying out some product, @makeitup305!

[Samtian]

@makeitup305 Wow great job!

[CookieGirl1]

Dang, @makeitup305, way to go through your Empties!

[makeitup305]

@CookieGirl1 Lol ! I never have empties to post because I have so many products in rotation at once so it takes me forever to get through stuff. It just so happened that I ran out of every skincare product at once. I probably won’t post again for 6 months lol

Great job!! This is a wonderful start to the new year @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@lmaster Thank you!!

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian Nice job! I like joe you keep track of your empties and declutters

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you! I just started declutters last year and it's nice to see at the end. 

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian This is my first year doing it. I havr not started tracking. But i might start in February. I also think 100 is a good number!

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you! Can't wait to see what you do!

For my first empties in January i think i did pretty good, I do use sheet masks almost daily and I havent been saving them usually because i end up throwing them out before I move them to my empty pile.

I am really trying to get through everything I have been holding on to for travel, which isn’t looking like it will happen for a long time so its just time to use things up.

Olaplex will be a repurchase and I am happy they have changed it to a spray. It was difficult to apply from the tiny hole. 

Amika Flash will be a repurchase as well I really like how quick it is and it made my hair super soft.

Don’t despair repair will also be a repurchase.

Korres,Biossance and the waso are destash. The korres gave me a weird rash around my nose that seems to have disappeared since i stopped using it, the Biossance didn’t work for me and I have so many others that work good no point in keeping it. And the Waso also gave me a weird reaction. 

Everything else was good but I have others that i like more.

@ather You're reminding me to pull out some of my hair products.  I believe I still have one of the Olaplex bottles in the nozzle like you have here.  And I need to try the Amika Flash!  I have samples that must be used to see if I need a full size. 

[ather]

@missjeanie  Yes. I’ve been focusing on my hair and it’s making such a difference for me. 

[lmaster]

You've done a wonderful job! @ather 

[ather]

@lmaster  thank you lovely!!

[makeitup305]

@ather Great job! I’m also using up some travel items that have been kicking around too long. At least this way I have an excuse to buy sampler sets later 😉

[ather]

@makeitup305  I have a problem with buying the sampler sets. But I definitely like to buy them if the products are new to me since I tend to have reactions a lot. It’s nice to just have a mini.
