@makeitup305, the Eadem serum has been good for me but your mileage may vary, of course. 

[makeitup305]

@itsfi of course. It's always hard to recommend something when everybody's skin is so different!

I am obsessed with Youth To The People! What did you think about it?

[itsfi]

@vallyyyyy, I like the feel of the body care products but the scent isn’t for me. 

[vallyyyyy]

I can see where you are coming from

[lmaster]

@itsfi good to know your thoughts! Fabulous job

[itsfi]

@lmaster, thank you; just chipping away at all the things. 🙂

@itsfi Amazing empties! I agree with you about liking the scent of the 'By the Fireplace' scent more as a candle than a fragrance. The copper candle is so pretty. Will you repurpose the copper cup? I have been meaning to try the Eadem brand. I am sorry to hear you had an eye injury. I hope you are ok 💞

[itsfi]

Yes, I've melted away all, or most of, the wax in the copper mug and washed it a couple of time; I just need to figure out what I want to use it for @Mellmars1185  - a mug, vase, pencil or brush holder or to hold something else, etc. It'll probably show up in the background of a photo at some point. 

Most of the Eadem products have worked well for me, though some better than others. I'm pretty sure I have everything from their collection but I haven't tried everything yet - trying to not have too many products open at once. Their dark spot serum is definitely my favorite, and the first product of theirs I tried. Was there a particular product of theirs you were interested in?

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi The copper mug will be beautiful, no matter what you end up using it for ☺️. Lately I have been loving any type of serum or moisturizer. I will have to do some more research 🤓

[itsfi]

I love serums @Mellmars1185! 💗 Serums and essences are some of my favorite skincare products to try. 

Edited to add: Here's what the EADEM Cloud Cushion Dewy Plumping Cream - Ceramide & Peptide-Rich for Supple, Radiant Skin looks like it's been what I've been reaching for during this winter-to-spring transition.

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Thank you so much for sharing! It looks nourishing 😊

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, at first I wasn’t so keen on it but it’s grown on me; it’s not for all seasons for my skin but yes, it is nourishing. What moisturizer are you currently using or loving?

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi I hear you. I am glad you were able to find how it worked for you. I am currently using Skinfix Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream Refillable Barrier Moisturizer with Ceramides . I am on my second tub.  I am looking forward to trying something new from my stash in the warmer months.

@itsfi awesome empties! I would love to try all of those candles, they sound amazing! Making notes for later...

So sorry to hear about your eye injury/allergies, I hope you feel better! 🤗

Love your detailed breakdown by different categories, as well as hearing your thoughts on everything. Very interesting and informative as always!

[itsfi]

Thanks so much @caitbird! I feel like I have, for the most part, been hitting my stride when it comes to candles. There are the occasional duds every now and again, but most of the candles I've been reaching for or picking up have been ones I really like! Tracking my empties has been a fun and informative way to see how my product usage has changed over time.

@itsfi Eye injury?! I hope it gets better ASAP! Fantastic work on everything!

[itsfi]

Yeah, it was just a series of unfortunate accidents; we're trending on the mend with that @Samtian, so that's a bright spot. It also helped me prioritize sleep (a little), so there's a silver lining. Ha! Now, if only this cold and/or allergies would just run their course asap ... 😂

[vallyyyyy]

I don't know if I should show mine because I have so many, probably over 75. I have this weird thing where I feel like I need to use more than I need because I have more than I need. It's so weird. I also have a random question. Does anybody else use their samples multiple times? I feel like they are meant to be one use, but I use them for multiple days. Who else does this? Lol.

[Mellmars1185]

@vallyyyyy This is definitely the place to show off your empties (no matter how little or many you have). Yes sometimes samples take me multiple uses. I find makeup and fragrance samples take up the longest time for me.

[caitbird]

@vallyyyyy feel free to show your empties if you want, no judgment here (only if you want to though)! As for using samples multiple times, yes, I definitely will if I can!
