These are not all the empties but the ones That lasted a WHILE plus I loved them. 

Indie Lee oil is my HG for a few months now. I bought it in March and it lasted me till end of Oct with 2-3 drop mixed in my moisturizer every morning and night. Sinks right in and provides so much moisture/hydration. ❤️❤️

like both the lip balms also. And bought back-ups.

@naturalooks15 I've been wanting to try that oil. I love the storage container!

I have wanted to try that Youth to the People superfood hyaluronic acid moisturizer, but I want to find it in a trial-size first!  @MoniDJ 

[MoniDJ]

@l8totheparty That moisturizer was on my list to try for the longest. I always forgot to get a sample anytime I was in Sephora.

Empties over two weeksWon't purchase fs/repurchase

I'm rose sheet was not fully saturated with serum, and the claims were not met, the peach slices blueberry mask, smells nothing like blueberry, but was a decent mask, DE a passioni retinol cream would be fine, but I'm not liking to use retinol in a cream formLikes

@lmaster That looks like the perfect sized baby facial to have around! Working through a FS of it might take me a decade, at least it's in a pump. 

[lmaster]

Absolutely @CC3616 I've leavened,, if a product comes in a smaller version,, knowing me 😆 it's probably best to go that route

[Cyncynn]

Just found this photos I took before moving. First row were great Second row were good Third row was meh or I called it quits.

[lmaster]

[Cyncynn]

Here are the empties I’ve remembered to save since July. 

Loves: 

Things I always restock, plus a new-to-me thing I’ll repurchase.

Spoiler

Creme Shop Turmeric Face Mask - I can’t use these often because they contain honey extract. But once or twice a month seems acceptable to my skin. It helps that these masks contain high amounts of moisturizing and soothing ingredients that combat the dryness caused (on me) by honey. 

The Body Shop Mango body butter - my longtime favorite of all their body butters. Whenever I find these unsullied at TJM or Marshalls (why the bleep do people ruin products on shelves with their grubby fingers 😡), or Ulta has a good deal on them, I stock up. 

Paula’s Choice All Over Hair & Body Shampoo - new to me. It’s bad as a shampoo (cleans well, but my hair hates it), but great as a fragrance-free body wash! Doesn’t leave my skin feeling coated-soft like Dove body wash, but it also doesn’t make me itchy-dry. The bottle lid is very flimsy and breakable and annoying, so I transfer the contents to a pump bottle. 

Youth To The People Superfood Moisturizer - a beloved staple of my skincare routine. I opened this jar in early July and finished its contents the last week of September. That’s faster than I thought I was using up these jars. 😄 Next time I can get a good discount on these, I’ll stockpile a few. 

Sephora Coconut water makeup wipes - I’m trying to wean myself off using makeup wipes at home (for makeup removal), so I’ll buy only the travel size from now on. This was my last full size pack of my favorite wipes. 

Likes: 

Things I keep handy and a product I probably won’t repurchase.

Spoiler

Youth To The People Superfood Vitamin C Serum - I like it, but not enough to repurchase at USD $62. It soaks into my skin quickly and leaves no stickiness behind. And it’s full of good stuff. My skin is brighter overall, but that’s most likely due to other products’ ingredients (retinol, AHA, and niacinamide). I said I wouldn’t buy another vit C serum after emptying this one because that ingredient’s in some of my other skincare products. But I recently got a Farmacy Very Cherry Bright DS, so I’ll try that one next. 

Yes To Coconut wipes - From now on, I’ll use these as body wipes instead of makeup wipes. This pack helped me get through this year’s doctor-imposed bedrest during a serious illness flare.  

Goodwipes Body Wipes - another product I use when I can’t stand in the shower or over the skin. I’d never use these on my face (mostly because of the peppermint oil), but they’re fine for most of my body. 

Nopes: 

I tried to make that sunscreen work for me... sigh.

Spoiler

Rahua Legendary Amazon Oil - I got 3 uses out of this foil. Didn’t hate it, but saw no benefits or improvements after using it. Also didn’t like how it loosened some of my coils. 

Coola Mineral Sun Silk Creme - this sunscreen hurt my feelings. Leaves a very obvious white cast on my face no matter how much I blend it out, and it pills a lot on me. I generally love Coola, but not this sunscreen. I can’t even use it as body sunscreen. 😞 This bottle’s still 4/5 full, so if anyone loves this sunscreen and wants more, PM me and I’ll happily send it your way. Otherwise, I’ll try donating this to a local shelter.

I had no idea Paula's Choice made a body wash until I saw your post @WinglessOne. On the list to try.

[lmaster]

@WinglessOne I know I know!!! totally disgusts me to see products being touched that are not samples 🙄 like... really??

[sockmagnet]

[itsfi]

That is such a great sheet mask @sockmagnet. I tried a mini version of the Bio-Oil and loved it; I have a few more products to get through and then I'll pick up a full size.

[lmaster]

great job @sockmagnet
