@Mellmars1185 thank you for the information!  I just got interested in the pattern conditioner.   My hair is thick, wavy, dry and frizz prone.  So based on this i think I could use the medium or even thicker.  I took their online quiz with two different answers, and it sd I could use the heavy or one other (I forget if it was medium or intensive).

I just used Davines LOVE Smoothing Conditioner for Frizzy Hair 8.76 oz / 250 ml  and so far so good...but idk if it'll be the one.

[Mellmars1185]

@greeneyedgirl107 If you need a thick conditioner, then Pattern is definitely worth trying!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Mellmars1185 I'm thinking about trying the PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Medium Conditioner with Biotin   PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Heavy Conditioner  and PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Intensive Conditioner  ...the direct site has an offer for new customers where you can get three samples for $12 and free shipping!  Other companies could learn a lot from that!

[Mellmars1185]

@greeneyedgirl107 Oh yes that is a great idea. The samples are a great way of finding out which product works best for you. The samples I have received from Pattern are quite generous also.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Mellmars1185 good to know!

@Mellmars1185 Wow on vacation?! That's phenomenal, amazing work!

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian Thanks very much! I knew one day all of those foils would come in handy 😆

My Empties basket was getting full so here are my May Empties:

All good!

Generally unimpressed with all of them.

I already have a backup of the Anessa sunscreen (it's a fav!) but the House of Hur cleansing balm was a definite disappointment and the innisfree Green Tea Enzyme Vitamin C Brightening + Exfoliating Toner Pads 5.74 oz / 170 ml  were very "meh".

I liked the TirTir niacinamide serum; I'm indifferent to the others.

The only dud was the Kérastase Chronologiste Shampoo for Dull and Brittle Hair 8.45 fl oz./ 250 ml  but everything else was great!

All were major winners.

Again, all winners.

@CookieGirl1, the Anessa sunscreen is lovely; easy to see why it's a fave of yours and so many others. It's probably my favorite that Shiseido puts out.

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi I love how thin and lightweight it is!

[Samtian]

@CookieGirl1 Kudos!!!

[Mellmars1185]

@CookieGirl1 Wonderful empties! Sorry to hear the Kerastase shampoo was not a hit. Is there something specific about it that you did not enjoy? I really enjoyed the Christophe Robin Clarifying Shampoo.

[CookieGirl1]

@Mellmars1185 the Kérastase Chronologiste Youth Revitalizing Shampoo 8.5 fl oz/ 250 ml  almost made my hair feel greasy even after rinsing it (and I have dry hair so that's saying something) and it smells extremely masculine (not my favorite scent profile).

[Mellmars1185]

@CookieGirl1 Thank you for sharing! I recently just finished a bottle of the Kerastase shampoo for fine hair. It was ok. I accidentally got a bit in my eyes and it was quite painful for a day after. This shampoo is too pricey to not love it.

@Samtian Marvellous May Empties!

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you!!

[itsfi]

You are ahead of schedule for reaching your empties goal @Samtian; that's awesome! Did the neopolitan bath bomb smell like ice cream? And did the cocoa puff lip balm smell like the cereal, for that matter?

[Samtian]

@itsfi Thank you! The bathbomb did have a nice smell, not so much dairy but more like a chocolate strawberry. And it made the bath pink! The chapstick had a cocoa smell, a very pleasant one similar to the cereal. 

[itsfi]

Oooh, chocolate strawberry sounds delicious @Samtian. I'll have to remember it for future gifts (if I had a tub again, I'd pick one up for myself but gifts it is.)

[lmaster]

Good job!! @Samtian
