@itsfi have you tried to the Sol de Janeiro shampoo and conditioner, yet?

I had the full sized ones and they were very hydrating and left my hair smooth and shiny.

So many great empties @itsfi!!!! I just finished the PC BHA too. Is it weird that I absolutely loved this product even though I can't really tell if it's working?! LOL I have another bottle waiting to use after I finish my sample of the Glow Recipe PHA + BHA Toner to make sure I'm not just falling for hype.

Is the Lychee mask the new "clean" mask? If so, is it any different from the old "dirty" ones? BTW, I tried the Peach Slices Hydrate mask, and it's a good one too.

@sephoraaddict918, that’s not weird at all! I actually realized how it works for my skin when I took a break from it. I didn’t break out but I could tell my pores seemed to clog up more easily / frequently when I left it out of my routine.

The lychee is from the clean collection. I like the lychee masks from both lines but I think that I may like the lychee one from the new clean line more. That’s not the case for me with all the masks in the clean line though.

@itsfi love your song labels!! Great job

[itsfi]

Thank you @lmaster! 😊 I wanted to have some fun with the empties. I did another music based one earlier in the year and thought another go ‘round would be nice.

@itsfi Yay I'm glad you liked the soap! I've been eyeing that The Ordinary Salicylic Acid Masque, I hope it works as well for me 🙂

[itsfi]

@ohheyitscindyk, I found the TO SA masque  to be gentle enough to use nearly every night, as a spot treatment or for a larger area. I was surprised that it didn’t dry out my skin but was also able to help with some breakouts. I hope it works out well for you.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@itsfi I'll def have to check it out then! It's so hard finding something for acne that won't dry out my skin, especially during these colder months. Thank you!

Weekly empties and a few I had to de stash.

The only repurchase is the It Cosmetics celebration illumination powder foundation. It is my favorite powder foundation and I usually always have a backup. The Volition has been one of my favorite scrubs but I recently tried the YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Yerba Mate Resurfacing + Exfoliating Energy Facial with Enzymes and I like it more. The DE cleanser I have replaced with Youth To The People Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Refillable Cleanser 8 oz / 237 ml. DE Shaba is nice but I won’t be repurchasing. The YTTP adaptogen deep moisturizer was nice but the scent is not good. The Charlotte Tilbury multi miracle glow was just ok. The Sara Happ dream slip lip mask was nice but I’ve replaced it with the Tatcha The Kissu Hydrating & Plumping Lip Mask Original. I had to de stash the Coola setting spray because I cannot stand the scent. The Sara Happ lip slip balm wasn’t very good for me, I had to reapply it constantly. The DE body cleanser and lotion started out as loves but after a few weeks they started to smell weird.

@faeriegirl  I’ve been switching some of my DE with YTTP I’ve been loving their products lately!! 

[jen81]

@faeriegirl @Yeah I’m not super impressed so far with the drunk elephant hair care and body care line. I was expecting it to be amazing but so far....meh. 

[haleyvvvv]

Its super disappointing to hear that the DE lotion and body wash started to smell off after a while, @faeriegirl !!

@jen81  Great empties!!

[faeriegirl]

How long did the Paulas choice drops last @jen81?

[jen81]

@faeriegirl  They recommend you use up in 3 month before vit c loses potency. It lasted three months with generous usage. The color will start to change and darken when it loses potency. I used a dropper full each time. I will buy when they have a 20% off sale . Which they often have. 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@jen81 I really wish they would put this in an airtight package.  Or, just sell a smaller size in the bottle so that you don't wind up throwing part of it away b/c it deactivated.  

[jen81]

@greeneyedgirl107  Airtight/airless pump would be nice. I was able to use it up in three months before it started to darken. I think you have to plan to use in three months which is an adjustment. I tend to switch around to new products way to often. I will wait to repurchase for this reason because I have Sunday riley ceo serum to finish up and don’t want to chance wasting any. I have seen a trial size in the past, not sure if they still have it. 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@jen81 A trial size would be perfect!  Thanks for the info...gonna go check on it!

[faeriegirl]

Thank you @jen81!
