@makeitup305  great job! It sounds like you know what works for you and what doesn't. I have to work on doing more decluttering, my stash is pretty out of hand at the moment 😅

@caitbird I tend to give products a solid chance since I hate making returns or throwing out things but with such a sizeable collection, it's hard to give subpar or "not for me" products a turn when I have so many awesome products that I know work better. Declutter away!

Empties! 🗑

Skincare- These are all likes and loves. The DE eye serum is kind of a cheat because I still have product but it's in another container bc I broke the pump by trying to force it open. I already have another of the Troubless patches and the Curel mist open. I have backups of the Replenix eye cream, the DRMTLGY retinol serum, and a few more of the AGE face masks since they came in a pack. I'm trying a few different toner pads but I would recommend both of these. The Pyunkang Yul is a light exfoliating one and the Round Lab is super hydrating. I have a refill of the SkinFix moisturizer (the old formula) but it might feel a little heavy for summer so it might hang out for a couple of months before I use it.

Hair- these are also really good. The UNOVE line I would recommend if you feel like your hair is very damaged and want to help it feel silkier. Idk if it would fix damage like K18 or Olaplex but it might be a good option to pair with something like that. I used up the conditioner as well a while back. The Fable & Mane scalp oil smells so good. I have some left but it's old and it no longer smells as good as it used to. The JVN scalp serum is probably going to be a declutter. I just never used it and I want it to go to a good home before it goes bad.

Body- The Naturium scrub is a good option if you're looking for an affordable scrub/body mask.It helped with ingrown hairs in my underarms and on my legs.

Makeup- The Hourglass mascara was good but not great. I probably wouldn't repurchase, especially for the price. The Guerlain travel container came in a duo that I found at Marshalls. I love the pearls and put them in a different container but this package was terrible. The brush shed like crazy and every time you opened it, pearls would pop out.

April Empties 🌸

 

The Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner 5.07 oz/ 150 mL was part of my project pan and I'm so happy too have finished it, it was open for a long time.  🥳

I enjoyed:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz® Ultra-Slim Precision Detailing Eyebrow Pencil Soft Brown 

Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother Frizz Control Styling Hair Cream 3.3 oz/ 100 mL and

Olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Heat Protection & Frizz Reduction Nourishing Hair Serum 3 oz / 90 mL 

#Dr. Jart+ Soothing Hydra Solution™ PRO Face Mask for Irritated Skin 0.91 oz / 26 g 👌⭐

And the mini's of

Ellis Brooklyn MYTH Spectacular Scented Body Oil 3.2 fl oz / 95 mL 

Drunk Elephant C-Firma Fresh Vitamin-C Day Serum .94 oz/28 ml were fantastic.

Not as much: 

The body scents and HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA PhD Hybrid Hydrating Tinted Lip Oil were just ok. 

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Fantastic empties! It must have felt amazing to finish up the toner! Impressive that you were able to finish a lip oil. I know it can take a while!

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @Mellmars1185 getting the toner used and finished felt like a *huge* mile stone after your long I had it going. 😅

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu lots of fun products

[caitbird]

@CynthieLu  great job on the empties! And congrats on finishing that toner, I feel like toners always take forever to get through (at least for me they do 😅).

[CynthieLu]

Thank you kindly 🩷🙏 @caitbird 

Oh yes, you nailed it. I have the same struggle. That toner took what felt like forever to finish. I'm so happy I got this one empty. 🙌

[makeitup305]

Awesome job on the empties @CynthieLu !

[CynthieLu]

Thank you 🙏 @makeitup305 

[lmaster]

Killer empties 🙌 @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you. The toner is my accomplishment of the YTD @lmaster I'm so happy it's finally done. 🎉

These were my March empties.

1. I liked all of the foils except Wishful.  It just didn’t feel good on my face.
2. I really enjoyed all of these. Especially the Amika Fadeblock.  But Amika discontinued it.  I have replaced the Tatcha Indigo night cream and Good Molecules Discoloration serum.  BBW hand soap is always by my sink’s. I change the scents all the time.  The O/S face primer is good.  But I have others I need to work with now.  The Sulwhasoo products are stars ⭐️ for me.  But I am waiting for a good sale on their site which I believe @Sunnysmom  told me about.  Especially at the holidays. Elf balm works well but needs a bigger size. The foot cream was good but not special.

These are declutter products.  My dermatologist said no more body scrubs. My eczema doesn’t like it.  And the HUDA New Nudes palette just doesn’t work for me.  I have used it several times.  It doesn’t show up on my lids, even with a primer.  And that concealer? that was in the lower row was just awful. The TF mascara was a love, but this tube made my eyes water.  And the JS mascara ended up on my under eye 👁️ all the time. The elf lash and brow gel became nasty after a while.  And the FB eye serum also made my eyes water.
