Loved the sample of the Sol De Janeiro shower oil! What were your thoughts?

[lmaster]

Wow!!! Impressed absolutely @caitbird 

[caitbird]

@lmaster  thank you so much! 💜

[CookieGirl1]

@caitbird wow, so much stuff!  I'm sorry that you had a handful of things that just didn't work out, though--that's never fun ☹️

[caitbird]

@CookieGirl1  thank you! Well, it's probably inevitable that some of them were misses, and at least the majority of this batch were likes/loves for me.

April empties and declutter: 27 (142/450)

The candle was decent

Dolce glow, TJ Brazil nut, briogeo, Fenty comeback kid yttp cleanser and farmacy cleansing Balm are absolutely 💯 excellent products!! I did love the olehenriksen eye cream,  looks like it's discontinued 😭 the TF oil spray was great too

☝️ these are decent

The hair gel is good as far as hold,  but when I bought it online I didn't realize it was blue, i guess i thought the bottle was blue not the product itself and the scent is kinda gross.

The AG care leave in Conditioner is far too heavy for my hair

☝️ this was soooo hard,  but the pmg gloss smells terrible and the fenty cream Blush are not looking so great

@lmaster I love the show Emily in Paris. I need to watch the latest season still. I definitely would have picked up this candle. I have told myself I cannot buy anymore soaps or candles until I am done my stash. I tend to never run out, lol! Great job destashing those products. I can totally relate to it being difficult.

[lmaster]

Thank you so much!! @Mellmars1185

@lmaster  Great job! Does the gel leave your hair blue? 

[lmaster]

Thank you! No it doesn't thank goodness @ather but if you don't get it fully absorbed you will see blue

[vallyyyyy]

I just love mini and sample sizes of perfume! I think they are so cute, and a good way to try something new or loved!

[lmaster]

Thank you @vallyyyyy ❤️

[caitbird]

@lmaster  awesome empties! Glad you had so many loves among them! And I feel you, decluttering favs is so hard sometimes but it's gotta be done 😢 you did great!

[lmaster]

Thank you love @caitbird

Empties- Oct 2024 to April 2025

Way too many products featured so I’ll narrow down by the standouts:

LOVE:

TirTir Cushion Foundation- picked this up in Japan last year and am not turning back. I have oily skin but still manage to love the coverage and glow this provides

KVD Star Powder (Petal)- discontinued years ago and this was my last backup but I have since discovered a LM pink setting powder that works as a great substitute 🙂

Ilia bronzer- discontinued??? I don’t see this on the website any longer which is a shame as the product was great and packaging pretty luxe.

Tatcha The Indigo Cleansing Balm Moisturizing Makeup Remover 1.9 oz / 54 g - my HG makeup removing balm

K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask - the best thing to have happened to my damaged hair

Meh: ALPYN Pore Perfecting Liquid Exfoliator with 2% BHA + Borage 4 oz / 118 mL - it was just okay by the time I finished the bottle. Nothing to write home about.

NO: BondiBoost- anything. Unfortunately, after a year or so of my stylist & I trying to narrow down what was turning my hair GREEN, the culprit was the BondiBoost volumizing products I was using before my color sessions. I have one more BB item to kill before I part ways with the brand.

[ather]

@gonerogue  Great job! Oh my Bondiboost is making your hair green???? Does your stylist know how this happens? So sad. 😞 

[vallyyyyy]

Amazing!

[caitbird]

@gonerogue  amazing empties! So many people on here seem to love the Tatcha cleansing balm, I am eager to try the sample I have in my stash!

[CynthieLu]

Good work 👏 @gonerogue ooh agreed Tatcha The Indigo Cleansing Balm Moisturizing Makeup Remover 1.9 oz / 54 g and K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL are the best! 🐐🏆

[Mellmars1185]

@gonerogue Wonderful empties! I am happy to hear that the Tirtir is working well for you. I have oily skin and I have this foundation in my stash, so this gives me hope that it may work for me. I am sorry to hear the Bondiboost isn't working out for you! At least you figured it out! How often do you use the K18 mask?

[gonerogue]

@Mellmars1185  The Tirtir is next level for me. I don’t like how it looks when I first apply it but after setting it with the TirTir spray, it just skins right into my skin 🤩

I use K18 roughly 2x a week since I only wash my hair about 2x a week now. I’ve been going to the same hair stylist for over a decade now so she knows my hair very well and she said my hair is the healthiest it’s been since I started losing my hair in like 2020 or 2021. I’m confident I have k18 to thank for that, on top of other changes I have made to my hair routine. I’ve repurchased maybe 3x already and don’t see myself without this in my life now. Truly miracle-worker stuff!
