March Empties: 🍀🦄🌈

 

 

Spoiler

It took me months to work through the 2 Prevage Face Cleanser (these were to harsh for my face so became body washes) and the Ceramide Face Wash (gentle and supposed to cut through make up and sunscreen but I didn't feel it did a very good job of either at the end of the day) I will not be purchasing.

I enjoyed everyone of those face masks 🤩

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum  is wonderful, repurchasing it again of course 😉
From my foils, once I'm through my stock pile *eep* of moisturizers the Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Acid Refillable Moisturizer is on my serious to consider daily moisturizer list. But I have lots to finish and go through before I get it. I want to get everything gone and used and be more mindful of what I get and keep in my home. This has been my goal since January and it's been great using things up, my collection of trials and foils was getting big 😅
Biossance Squalane + 10% Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum 1.0 oz/ 30 mL and Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Firming & Lifting Eye Cream 0.5 oz / 15 mL were fabulous and worth repurchasing for me. After I use all I have I would consider them too for a spot on my skin care shelf 😄

Happy April everyone,  good luck emptying 😄

Happy last day of March! This month I am so impressed with my empties! 

 

 

I feel like it’s been a tatcha month!! 
The INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm 5 oz/ 150 mL 

Tatcha The Kissu Lip Mask Original 

Wander Beauty Upgraded Lashes™ Thickening Mascara 

Summer Fridays Light Aura Vitamin C + Peptide Eye Cream .5 oz/ 15 mL 

Have all been replaced with new ones. And are lIves!

OUAI Texturizing Hair Spray 1.4 oz  I love but I’m going to see if there’s another I might try out. 
Tatcha The Pearl Tinted Eye Illuminating Treatment  was discontinued it was time to toss

Tatcha Luminous Deep Hydration Firming Eye Serum 0.5 oz/ 15 mL is great but I’ve been using a retinol night cream. 
Youth To The People Mini Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask 0.5 oz/ 15 mL  I found it didn’t do much for my skin. I have other sleeping masks that I like more. 
Tatcha Mini Dewy Skin Mist 0.4 oz/ 12 mL  I like it but I don’t reach for it enough. 
LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask with Squalane 2.3 oz/ 70 mL  is good but I have others I like more.

You did sooo good this month! Look at all those empties 🥳 @ather It was a Tatcha month for you for sure.

There are big items you polished off this time, emptying some of those most have taken a while. Great work 😄

[ather]

@CynthieLu  They did! But I’m so proud! My stash is getting so much better and it makes me feel better!! It got out of hand for a while!

[CynthieLu]

I know what you mean @ather and it feels soo good to be in control of it after that happens 😇 Way to go! 🥳

Another month, another set of Empties:

I really enjoyed the mini Farmacy balm in the pear scent! It was a little on the light side fragrance-wise but very pleasant. The Refresh spray is a must-have (and I'll need to grab a backup soon) but the other things won't be repurchases.

I liked the mini BumBum cream (of course!) and the hand sanitizer smelled wonderful but everything else was just "meh".

I actually really liked how the Keratin Complex products made my hair feel BUT I couldn't get past the scent; those had to have been some of the worst-smelling shampoos and conditioners I've ever tried.

I finished my Makeup by Marion Skin Enhancer! I genuinely loved this and I could totally see myself repurchasing it down the road. The Arches and Halos brow pen is an absolute fav. Unfortunately the NYX lip liner and LA Girl eyeliner are declutters; they both dried up unbelievably quickly and are currently totally unusable.

[CynthieLu]

These are lovely photos of your empties @CookieGirl1 I appreciate your thoughts on everything 🙏 

Yummy! I would love to try the pear scented make up removing balm 🍐 Farmacy makes the best make up remover. It's so good and gentle 😍 

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu I love the Farmacy balms!  I think that the only scents that I haven't liked as much were the apple and cherry and those weren't bad--just not my favs.  The pear scent was more subtle but still lovely and I have an orange one, a blueberry one, and a peach one in my backup stash 😄.

[CynthieLu]

That's a great collection @CookieGirl1 I want them all lol,  next year I'm jumping on a holiday set for sure 😉

I had one from a gwp and it was citrus-y but I actually don't know exactly what scent it was 😅

[JoSometimes]

Great job emptying all of these @CookieGirl1! The jar of Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm looks different though. 

[CookieGirl1]

@JoSometimes lol, you're right, it does look different.  It was actually part of a limited edition holiday trio so all three from that set were smaller and had different fruity scents.

[JoSometimes]

That explains it. They discontinued the Clean Green balm in Canada and I thought it was the one they replaced it with.

@CookieGirl1  Great job! 

[CookieGirl1]

@ather thank you!

Some more empties and a few destashes.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Serum

I know this one was supposed to help with redness and irritation, but some days, it seemed to be the cause of it. This was a sample, but I probably won’t purchase a full size anytime soon.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Overnight Hydrating Mask 1.69 oz / 50 mL

I did like this one. It left my skin feeling very hydrated overnight and I could even feel it deep into the morning if I was having a lazy day and didn’t get to my morning routine right away. I have something else I like now, so this one is on my maybe list.

Benefit Cosmetics BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara Intense Pitch Black – 0.30 oz/ 8.5 g

Not sure if I’m tagging the right one. I got a sample size after trading in a few points. Not sure if it was the specific one I got, but the brush was broken. I was able to repair it, but the product seemed to be all dried up. Destashing this one. I’ve got a few other mascaras anyway. Good thing I didn’t spend any actual money on it!

Nyx dewy finish setting spray

It did it’s job well. I much prefer Charlotte Tilbury Mini Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray 1.1 oz/ 34 ml though, so I’ll be sticking to that from now on. I might revisit this the nyx setting spray if I need something on a budget. 

Covergirl white eyeliner

I didn’t like the formula of this one. It wasn’t very pigmented and it dragged and skipped. I replaced it with SEPHORA COLLECTION Sephora Colorful® Wink-It Felt Tip Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner 05 Bone White, which I like more and the felt tip is much more precise. 

LA Colors Palette 

I tried to hold onto this one because it was colourful, but I wasn’t fond on the colours and they weren’t very pigmented. Nice for a subtle wash of colour but if I’m going to use colour, I want it to pop! Destashed as well. 

[ather]

@JoSometimes  It’s good you tried most of your missed. You know what works for you!! Great job!

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @ather! Out with the old (to make space for the new! 😁)

[CynthieLu]

I relate to that @JoSometimes if a vibrant color isn't standing out, I'm disappointed.🤗

Decluttering can be hard, way to go! And great job on those empties 🥳

[JoSometimes]

Thanks @CynthieLu! I only find decluttering difficult if I can see a possible use for something in the future. Otherwise, if it’s just taking up space, I’d rather let it go.
