From Meh to Nah

Spoiler

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer 3-in-1 Triangle Tip Easy Precision Eyebrow Pencil Medium Brown- Nothing spectacular. I would buy again on sale, but it’s definitely not on the top of my list.

Calvin Klein Woman Eau de Parfum - STANK! This did not meld well with my body chemistry. It smelled like old lady perfume on me.

The Creme Shop I Am Radiant Beauty Water - Wasn’t very hydrating and didn’t make my skin look radiant.

Curlsmith Scalp Stimulator - No longer worked for my hair. I won’t be purchasing anymore.

Derma E Universal Cleansing Balm - Okay balm, but it takes time to work it into an oil. I would purchase again if it’s on sale, but it’s not on the top of my list.

Dermal Honey Grapefruit / Hyaluronate Collagen Essence Mask - There is no difference between these masks. They don’t have much serum, and my skin just feels “meh” after using them.

Armani Beauty Sì Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL- Nice enough fragrance, but not memorable.

Klorane Shampoo with Citrus Pulp - Super drying. Even after pre-pooing and mixing it with a cleansing conditioner, my hair still felt stripped of moisture.

Laura Mercier Velour Puff- I paid TOO much money for this puff to just fall apart!

Neutrogena HydroBoost Hydrating Lip Treatment - This was a nice lip balm, but the packaging just fell apart.

Not Your Mother’s Naturals Passion Fruit Kombucha and Awapuhi Ginger Leave-In Tonic - This made my hair feel sticky, and the sprayer made it almost impossible to get out any product.

Not Your Mother’s Naturals Activated Bamboo Charcoal and Purple Moonstone Scalp Scrub - Easy to work into my scalp and felt nourishing, but sometimes it was hard to wash out the jojoba beads.

Pacifica Banana Love Deep Intensive Moisture Mask - Decent only because I bought it on sale. Definitely isn’t worth the original price tag. It worked well as a pre-poo treatment, but it wasn’t rich enough to use as a deep conditioner mask.

PHILOSOPHY - Purity Made Simple Micellar Cleansing Water- Burned my eyes. Hard pass!

RALPH LAUREN - Romance- Too much floral! Hard pass for me.

Supergoop Eye Cream with Oat Peptides - Gives whitecast, so I look like a ghost on days when I don’t wear makeup.

tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes™ 4-in-1 Mascara Black - My Ulta Diamond Gift. Good mascara, but not an amazing one. I wouldn’t buy for full price.

Ulta Poreless Face Primer - Silicon-y primer that seems like a dupe for the original Smashbox primer.

Ulta Youthful Glow Primer Serum - I like how light and hydrating this primer felt, but the dropper stopped working about half way through.

Thumbs Up! Good to Almost Perfect

Spoiler

Acure The Essential Rosehip Oil - Enjoyed using this as an oil to lock in my moisturizer during my daytime routine. I would absolutely repurchase this oil.

Acure Seriously Soothing Blue Tansy Night Oil - Loved using this as an oil during my evening routine. I would repurchase, but I’m currently using Aquaphor to lock in my moisturizer.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment - This has become a new fave as a moisturizer topper during my night routine. If it’s good enough for Beyonce, it’s definitely good for me.

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Love Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel - LOVE the smell of this scent!

Bath & Body Works Frosted Coconut Snowball Hand Soap - It doesn’t smell anything like coconut, but I actually liked the sweet scent.

Bath & Body Works Boardwalk Vanilla Cone Hand Soap - This smells more like cake batter than ice cream to me, but I’m always up for anything vanilla-scented.

Beautyblender blendercleanser® solid pro- Best cleanser to get my sponges back to new.

Benefit The Porefessional Hydrate Face Primer - I’m not the biggest fan of the original Porefessional Primer. The hydrating one is better, but I’m not eager to run out and buy a full size version.

Boscia Tsubaki Oil Deep Hydrating Bio-Cellulose Mask - I hate how much packaging comes with this mask, but my dry skin loves it so much. I won’t buy this often to try to be less wasteful.

Carolina Herrera Good Girl Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL- I like this scent, but I don’t love it. I prefer the Legere version.

CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser - The CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser burned my face, but this was a great face wash to use in the shower. Even with dry skin, it didn’t feel like it stripped my skin.

CLINIQUE Dramatically Different Moisturizing Cream 1.7 oz/ 50 mL- Rich cream that my dry skin loved. I would definitely repurchase.

CLINIQUE Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser 5 oz/ 150 mL- I always come back to this cleanser because I love the mousse-like, creamy texture, and it works well as a second cleanse. It can be drying, but mixing in a little cream cleanser helps keep my face from feeling too stripped.

ColourPop Lippie Pencil - BFF3 is the perfect nude for brown girls.

The Creme Shop Hello Kitty Shooting Stars Sheet Mask - Loved the super cute Hello Kitty print, and my face felt plump after using the mask.

The Creme Shop Start Over Firming + Plumping Face Mask - Plenty of serum. The Creme Shop never disappoints!

Crepe Erase Flaw-Fix Eye Cream - This was a free Diamond Gift from Ulta because I’m off that eye cream narcotic. I liked the richness of this eye cream, but I would never buy it because this is way too expensive. I also didn’t see any amazing results to justify paying full price.

DewyTree Hyaluron Melting-Chou Mask - This has plenty of a milky serum that absolutely nourished my dry skin. I always buy this mask when I see it at World Market.

Dove Dry Spray - Staple in my beauty routine! I finally found a deodorant that keeps me dry, smells great, and doesn't leave any white marks on my clothes.

Earth Therapeutics Cracked Heel Repair - I LOVE the product, but I HATE the packaging. After I use up the one I have now, I might be done with this for a while.

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Liquid Foundation 445- I like it on its own, but it works amazingly mixed in with other foundations to help my base last longer for an entire work day.

Formula 10.0.6 Renewing Foot Balm - This is a good foot cream, but I’m not running out to repurchase it. I wish it was thicker for my DRY feet!

Hempz Coconut Fusion Shimmering Herbal Souffle - This body cream makes me SHIMMER, and I LOVE it!!! I would happily repurchase this.

It’s Skin Honey Mask Sheet - This smells amazing and makes my skin feel hydrated and plump.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser - Good cream cleanser that works well as a daytime cleanser or to mix in with other cleansers.

Lapcos Hyaluronic Acid Derma Mask - Nice moisturizing sheet mask. I wouldn’t run out to repurchase, but I would buy if I came across it again.

Shiseido Super-Soft, 100% Natural Facial Cotton 165 sheets- The HG Cotton Rounds!

SUPERGOOP! - PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 with Sunflower Extract- My favorite body sunscreen!

Supergoop! Glow Stick Sunscreen SPF 50 0.7 oz/ 20 g - My favorite face sunscreen!

Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer 1.35 oz/ 40 mL - This feels more like a moisturizer than a primer, but it worked well with my more mattifying foundations.

Up & Up Baby Hair + Body Wash - Works great for cleaning my face brushes.

Vichy Pore Purifying Clay Mask - Clay masks usually burn a little (or sometimes a lot) when I first put them on, but this one felt creamy and gentle. I would absolutely repurchase!

Viktor&Rolf BONBON 1.7 oz/ 50 mL- Like the sweet, carmel scent. Don’t like the lack of lasting power.

Viktor & Rolf BonBon Pastel Eau de Toilette - Sweet smell that I like, but no lasting power.

@sephoraaddict918 nice job!

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

The La Roche-Posay cleanser is a nice one @sephoraaddict918! Happy to hear the Acure oils are ones you enjoy - I’ve had a couple of their products on my list of things to try. 💗

haleyvvvv · ‎07-05-2020

Nice empties, @sephoraaddict918!! That boscia mask, totally agree, its so good but so much packaging. I wish it came in a serum, my dryish skin loves it too.

EuDeMa · ‎07-04-2020

These are my empties I've been stashing for 2+ months. Most products were just me finishing up things I already had open like the Bath and Body Works creams (very partial to Christmas scents). I have to say, I loved the MILK MAKEUP Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide 1.52 / 45 mL. I know many have raved about it, but once I actually tried it, I saw why. Now, its on my list as is the BELIF - The True Cream Aqua Bomb! I also really liked the Laneige Multi Cleanser. I had this in my stockpile, but apparently it is no longer available in this formulation? If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know!

I feel so wasteful only using one shade of the Charlotte Tilbury setting powder.

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

@EuDeMa, B&BW Christmas scents are wonderful! 😍 That Christmas cocoa & mint scent sounds fabulous; will have to keep an eye out for it this year.

sephoraaddict918 · ‎07-04-2020

Nice empties @EuDeMa!! The Tarte mascara is in my empties this month too!

lmaster · ‎07-04-2020

@EuDeMa great empties!!!

May Empties (41)

Loves:
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Instant Oatmeal Mask- Very soothing, my go to for when I have irritated or sunburned skin. The mask instantly makes my skin look baby soft.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream- One of my favorite moisturizers for my dry skin
Clinique Dramatically Different Lotion- Another one of my favorite moisturizers (great for dry skin)
Simple Micellar Cleansing Water- Great for removing any stubborn makeup without irritating my skin
Hair Food Coconut Dry Shampoo- Great dry shampoo that soaks up excess oil without leaving a white cast.

Dislikes:
Alba Botanica Fast Fix Sun Stick- First of all, this is a chemical sunscreen (I try to avoid chemical sunscreens). Secondly, this is super greasy and is very hard to rub in. Unfortunately I still have another one I need to use up.
Moroccan Oil Hand Cream- Difficult to get to absorb into my hands and left a very greasy feeling on my hands.
Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray- Did nothing to hydrate my skin and the sprayer was very leaky. I don't even know why I purchased this, it was basically just water.
Dr. Jart+ Cicapiar Tiger Grass Calming Mist- Nice mister, but again, I just don't think this did anything whatsoever. If anything, it made my skin feel a little bit of a burning sensation and increased redness (I have suppper sensitive skin)

Everything else was just okay. Nothing very noteworthy.

Nice work @treenut! 🙂 Those elderberry gummies look good and good for you! Sorry to hear the Dr. Jart Cicapair mist didn't work out for you. Is there a mist that you find works well for you?

missjeanie · ‎06-02-2020

Great set of empties @treenut !

lmaster · ‎06-02-2020

Nice job!! @treenut

KateJRoberts · ‎05-22-2020

I don’t have too many empties as of right now but they are all staple products that I discovered I absolutely love! I will definitely be repurchasing the PTR Hyaluronic Cloud Hydro-Gel Eye Patches! They helped so so much with the puffiness under my eyes, it was actually mind blowing. The Glossier Super Pure was a game changer for my sensitive, acne-prone skin as well. It helped reduced blackheads across my nose and I noticed my skin was less red/irritated throughout the day. I know we all love the DE Protini as it’s a staple for oily skin! Last but not least the Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! hair mask is pretty good. I think I would reap more benefits of the product with a bigger sample as I wasn’t able to use it very many times but I didn’t enjoy how it left my hair feeling! Anyone else have a million mini products?! I’ve been trying to go through mine as to make sure they don’t expire/go to waste. So far I’ve been really pleased!

haleyvvvv · ‎05-28-2020

Nice set of empties, @KateJRoberts!! I love the deep conditioning mask!! Also, am always working through a ton of minis, I feel that pain, lol.

lmaster · ‎05-22-2020

Awesome products!! @KateJRoberts
