Here are my empties for February and March
I loved the JVN hair styling serum! I want to get it again but I have to work through some others first. While I usually enjoy most of the B&BW creams, not this one. It has a glitter to it that I don’t care for. The ABEO is a foot cream that smells like lavender and it is wonderful on my dry cracked feet. The shower gel from Korres is great too!
I use the Good Molecules toner and it works good for me. The Inkey List hyaluronic acid is very good and not pricey. This is my 2nd bottle. It took me a year to finish the Laneige lip balm. But I opened another one right after. This is in my nightly routine. The face cream was part of my free birthday gift and it is a wonderful cream. And I FINISHED THE TRESOR! Part of my Project Pan!😁
I like DDG alpha beta peel pads . The two hand creams are very good. I didn’t like this scent from Kilian. I did like the mascara from Sephora. It performs really good for me. The Topicals sample wasn’t for me.
Can you guess what my favorite skincare brand is...
I just emptied another one of my LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer for Moisture Barrier Repair and was adding it to my pile when i realized just how many i had😂
To be fair, most of them are from before they made it refillable, so from now on im only buying refills !🩵
Loves
- Purito hydrocolloid patches. The best ones out there without salicylic acid or tea tree, which don't agree with my skin
- iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Mineral Sun Glow Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 43 PA +++ with Peptides and Vitamin C . Works great under makeup, leaves a nice glow
- Beauty of Joseon cleanser. Nice gel cleanser that doesn't strip my skin
- Biossance Omega Repair Deep Hydration Moisturizer with Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane 1.69 oz / 50 mL not too exciting but does keep my skin well hydrated. I'm currently using the S. Nature Aqua Squalane Cream which is very similar. Both work great for my dry skin and sit well under makeup.
Likes
- Round Lab Birch toner pads. Nice and hydrating but I prefer others
- Dermatory Cica Gauze pads. I liked the gel feeling of the pads. might buy again but not an immediate repurchase.
- belif Aqua Bomb Depuffing Eye Gel with Caffeine + Hyaluronic Acid 0.5 oz / 15 ml . It was nice but I prefer a cream over a gel
- VT Reedle Shot Eye Cream. It was nice, it came with a vibrating applicator. Not an immediate repurchase, though.
Misses
- SEPHORA COLLECTION Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil . I've bought a few of these and they always dry out too fast.
These are my empties that I could remember to save from so far this year 😅
The thing in these pics I'm most proud to be rid of is the Farmacy Brighten Up 3% TXA Dark Spot Toner with Azelaic Acid 4 oz / 120 mL . I feel like that bottle has haunted me for 3 years!!!! It did NOT work for me, so I didn't want to use it anymore. Ppl on SM claimed it is a holy grail product and cleared their dark spots after only 2 weeks of use. Lies, fairytales, and fallacies! I refuse to believe it. I used it daily for 6 weeks and saw no difference in my discolorations. I felt no texture difference either.
Another thing I'll be sure not to repurchase is the Living Proof Triple Bond Complex Leave-in Hair Treatment 1.5 oz / 45 mL because it made my hair feel hard each time I blow-dried the product in. Plus, I have another bottle of it in my stash 😩
The Rose Inc scrub is amazing and makes me feel like I've just gotten a body treatment at the spa 🌹 I will rebuy IF they have a sale on their branded site, since Sephora doesn't carry most of their products anymore.
Nécessaire The Body Retinol - Repair Serum With 0.1% Pure Retinol, 10% AHA + 5 Peptides 5.1 oz / 150 mL is STANKY!! Also, I've used better products for $20+ cheaper.
My favorites of the bunch:
Olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Frizz Reduction & Heat Protectant Hair Serum 3 oz / 90 mL
Josie Maran Vanilla Apricot - Whipped Argan Oil Refillable Firming Body Butter Jar
Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinol Serum
Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Brightening Rich Hydration Moisturizer #
NEST New York Madagascar Vanilla Perfume Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL
