@eshoe I'm very impressed with how different this peel is

[RebeccaBT]

@lmaster Every time I see your empties it reminds me that I need to step up my masking 🙂 

Best,

@RebeccaBT this was a great week,, loved so many newbies

Empties from April through now. 

Loves:

Spoiler

glowy base!
Leahlani balancing toner- very hydrating despite the name "balancing" and scent is very refreshing. I would repurchase this (again, things to use up first).
Leahlani siren brightening serum- Actually this should have been in the likes. I enjoyed it but didn't see huge results/wouldn't purchase it.
Leahlani mahina evening elixir- Loved this. Honestly the product results were okay, nothing out of this world. A good solid product, but not a life changer. BUT the scent was so lovely and calming that I might get a big bottle to douse myself in it. 
Mahalo Petal mask- Loved this. The scent was stronger than I prefer but not overwhelming. Very calming and hydrating, left a little bit of blood flow redness that subsided quickly. Want to invest in this but a little hesitant about getting through a large expensive jar in time.
Mahalo Bean mask- Soothing and refreshing, skin was nice and happy after. I would purchase this in a heartbeat if there was a smaller jar but don't use this type of mask enough for a large jar. I will defiantly get a sample again.
St Tropez gradual tan tinted- Big fan of st tropez so wasn't surprised to enjoy this. 
DE B hydra serum- After a run in with framboos serum 3 years ago, I was super reluctant to try anything DE. After loving baby facial, I decided to give another DE product a try and I'm glad I did. Great results, would definitely consider purchasing FS.
Merbliss wedding dress mask- this was so luxurious, I am buying 10 and for sure saving one for my wedding weekend! Thank you  !
Lapcos oil mask- Another brand I've had a run in with before, usually lapcos masks are way too strongly scented for me. When eshoe sent this one as well, it came with a scent warning but I was intrigued by the oil concept and wanted to try it anyways. Scent was strong but not too much, great hydrating results. Will purchase!
Mediheal aloe mask- also from eshoe (girl thanks!!! <3) this mask was super soothing and hydrating. 
Tatcha dewy skin mask- This is a nice luxury but not something I'd use frequently due to price.

Likes

Spoiler

Likes- Items that are no harm/no foul and would use again but likely won't repurchase.
New to me/considerable mentions:
Vita coco coconut oil- I love coconut oil! this was okay, it was a little lumpy and harder to "melt down" than some others.
Davines oi shampoo- I actually destashed half a bottle because I am using olaplex with such great results that I can't go back! I like the davines it's just not HG for me anymore
Dr Jart cicapair cream- another long timer in my routine that might not be an HG anymore. I have a couple mini's I will keep evaluating with while I play with some new samples.
Clarins body scrub- worked well but did not like the strong scent.
Chantecaille retinol body lotion- Liked but wouldn't purchase at the price.
May Lindstrom blue cocoon- Teeterd on this a lot between like and love. I did really like the natural earthy scent and it felt soft and luxurious going on, but if I used it at night hydration didn't always last all night. Occasionally after use I had some irritation but I'm not sure it's related or not. I would definitely want to use more of this to pinpoint where it falls. 
Guerlain toner- Again liked but not something I would likely invest in. Scent was stronger than expected but tolerable. 

Nope:

Spoiler

My skin freaked after I used this. It dried up hard/crusty on my forehead and my skin was angry red when I took it off and super dry. I had a lot of flaking/dryness for 4-5 days and coddling with hydrating heroes to recover. I'm not sure what the trigger was, the ingredients list isn't "clean" by any means but no big heavy irritation hitters either. Anyone else had a hard time with this one? 

And some from traveling

Spoiler

Love: bare republic sunscreen, body butter, dr dart BB
Hate: Goodness Garden sunscreen. Applied bright white, didn't rub in, didn't spray well.
Rest are okay.

So many fun-sized samples!  Loved your reviews. Must step of my garbage review game. 😊 @CC3616 

[JaneanBT]

Hi @CC3616 ,

I see that you have also run out of Bum Bum cream. I highly suggest you get it again because I love it lol. 😉 

Best Wishes,

Janean

[CC3616]

@JaneanBT LOL I'll get some if you do 😉 My arm is easily twisted! 

[RebeccaBT]

@CC3616 So many great empties! 

Best,

Rebecca

[PrettyPaint]

@CC3616  I am so impressed! 

[CookieGirl1]

@CC3616 Holy cow, Batman, that's an amazing amount of empties!

[ShortErica]

That Mediheal made me fall for sheet masking @CC3616. I think it's my favorite Mediheal too. I really need to buy it and try it again but I have so many masks to get through. You've done such a great job with your empties! I really appreciate that you kept everything to take photos for us!

so satisfying @CC3616 😆

[samkeaysxo]

My June empties! Loved everything except the Clarins moisturizer, and the Creme of Nature leave in which we’re just okay.

[curlychiquita]

Kate Somerville EradiKate™ Acne Spot Treatment with 10% Sulfur 1 oz/30 ml

is a great product,  @samkeaysxo. I'm glad to hear you like it, too!

[sephoraaddict918]

Nice empties @samkeaysxo!!! I'm almost finished with the Lancome Lash Primer, and I really like it, but it is quite pricey. I'm trying the Essence Primer next to see if it's a good dupe when I want to save some coint.

Nice empties @samkeaysxo! Those watermelon cleansing wipes smell sooo good! 

[Anastasiya13]

@samkeaysxo  Any chance have you tried the mario badescu spot treatment? If so which one is better, kate sommerville or mario?

[angelKiss24]

@Anastasiya13, I've bought both for my BF, and he went through a full bottle of the Mario Badescu and is half way through the Kate Sommerville. He requested more of the Kate, saying it works faster and better.

[Anastasiya13]

@angelKiss24  Oh thanks. I was very curious considering they look very similar in the formula type

[samkeaysxo]

I havent tried the Mario one no. Can’t get their products where I am in Canada 😔

[RebeccaBT]

@samkeaysxo Awesome empties! 

Best,

Rebecca
