Re: Empties - V2

Ohhhhh I spy the monoi bath gel @lmaster .  I've managed to snag a mango and it makes me want to collect them all!  Did you love the scent?

Re: Empties - V2

I absolutely love the cherry blossom scent better, but,,, both are great!! @missjeanie 

Re: Empties - V2

@lmaster Wow great job!!

Re: Empties - V2

May empties! 

Loved: 

-Too Faced BTS mascara mini! One of my top 3 favourite mascaras! This one was LE Christmas snowflake packaging, but sadly was now too old and dried up. Repurchased immediately! 
-OPI RapiDry nail polish spray! Omgggg the BEST. Dries your nails in less than a minute. I’ve had this bottle for 3/4 years. You don’t need much. Just a light mist. I cannot find this at any drugstore here anymore! Had to order a replacement from Amazon. At least Amazon always has my back! 

-Both Bath & Body Works candles. Vanilla Bean is one of my all time favs, and Let Love Rule is new to me, but I liked it a lot. 
-Bath & Body Works shower gel in “In The Stars”, smells sooo good! I have other shower gels to use up first, but I’d definitely repurchase this one! 
-“Cactus Blossom” Bath & Body Works Pocket-Bac sanitizer, such a nice scent! Already repurchased.

 

Hated:

-Bath & Body Works “Passionfruit & Banana Flower” Pocket-Bac sanitizer. Hated the smell!! Thought I liked it in store, but was much stronger when applied to your hands. 
-Simple Skincare Exfoliating Makeup Wipes... maybe I just got a bad batch, they were on clearance so maybe they were old. But they were SO dry. Like no liquid at all. And because they’re exfoliating they’re rough, very rough. Had to wet them to be able to use them at all. And they barely removed anything. I used these with micellar solution to make them work, but 100% would not repurchase. 

Re: Empties - V2

Love bath and body works candles @samkeaysxo  they're always so dependable.

Here is my May empties! 
my loves are the inkey list bha and the tatcha and the tarte. The rest were ok but I wouldn’t re purchase. 

Re: Empties - V2

Good to know about the DE Micellar @ather. I was curious but am so content with Bioderma. Good to know it is a pass!

Re: Empties - V2

@ather Ahh the Tatcha I still haven’t started mine but I think I should. I hate the smell and texture of the DE C firma so much I don’t know why I’m forcing myself to finish two deluxe samples. 😆

Re: Empties - V2

@lnum  I agree. I felt the same way with DE c firma. I did like the results tho but that’s why I tried other serums. 

Re: Empties - V2

@ather You convinced me about the Tatcha when you mentioned the water like texture. I just used it for the first time a few minutes ago and you’re so spot on, what a pleasant product to use! I may try the summer Fridays  after the Tatcha since you mentioned loving that one too. 

Re: Empties - V2

@lnum  Awww I’m glad my description was good!! The summer Fridays is a thicker constancy, but it leaves a nice glow after which I like. It also helped my spots become lighter but I’m mot noticing it as much with the tatcha. 

Re: Empties - V2

@ather @CookieGirl1 I loved those tarte frixxion sticks!!! It's been quite awhile since I've used it, but I did love it too

Re: Empties - V2

@lmaster  I go back and forth with stuff so much I forget what I like lol

Re: Empties - V2

@ather I have a few of those little tarte SEA FRXXXTION Stick Exfoliating Cleanser 1 oz/ 28 g myself that I really should pull out and use up.

Re: Empties - V2

@CookieGirl1  I really like it for a fast physical exfoliate!!

Most of these were pretty average although I have to admit that for some odd reason the Target acetone nail polish remover is my favorite.  I actually wasn't a huge fan of the Tree Hut Watermelon Scrub because it had a weird underlying chemical scent and the Joah pads were pretty pathetic (but I got them for free so I used them up).

I know that the Lancome Genifique really isn't anything special but my skin doesn't know that--it totally drinks it up and makes it feel great; if it wasn't so expensive (and if there weren't other serums that I wanted to try) I'd probably purchase the full size.  I also actually really liked the Murad Revitalixir™ Recovery Serum and I got over a weeks' worth of use out of it.  Unfortunately the Glow Recipe Avocado Soothing Skin Barrier Serum with Ceramides 1 oz/ 30 mL really did nothing for me and I was rather glad just to use it up and forget about it; it felt very average and it almost seemed like a wasted effort using it.  The Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 remains a favorite and I'm currently working on another tube now, and this was my last tube of the tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm which I actually enjoyed but probably won't repurchase.  I was happy to use up both foundations since I've been working on them seemingly forever and I have others that I like more so I won't rebuy either of those.  I have no idea why people rave about the Living Proof Restore Perfecting Spray 8 oz/ 236 mL but it didn't do anything at all noticeable for my hair but clearly it works for a lot of people so I'm evidently in the minority :).

Eh, they were samples.  They were fine.  Now they're gone.
