@haleyvvvv me tooooooo!!!

[averylayne]

Got tired of staring at these products I never use, so I threw them all out today! So liberating haha. And now I have more space for some new stuff 😄 (I didn't actually throw out the Kiehls mask, because I save the empties for their recycle program 😉)

[quspork]

What did you think of the Kiehl's cilantro mask, @averylayne?

[averylayne]

@quspork I didn't really notice a huge difference with it, and I really didn't like the sticky feeling it leaves on the skin.  You're suppose to just wipe off the excess, but I always had to rinse it off because I just didn't like how heavy it felt on my skin.  I had about 1/3 of the jar before I tossed it out...I thought about just finishing it, but I would rather just enjoy other products I like rather than torture myself haha 😅

[quspork]

Thanks, @averylayne. I'm not usually a big fan of tissue-off masks either for that reason- so many seem to sit heavy. Good to know about this one!

[averylayne]

@quspork agreed! learned my lesson with this one. I will likely be avoiding those types also!

Loves❤️❤️- paulas choice was discontinued unfortunately. Will repurchase the Jordan Samuel cleanser soon along with the Vichy. Others I already have deluxe samples or backups!

Loves/ Likes - briogeo is a HG item. Only like is Sunday Riley tidal which is nice but probably won’t reuchaw at this time. Rest I have backups already!

Okay-LP is ok. Dr Dennis gross is stinky and I wouldn’t repurchase but will use up samples. Others are nice but didn’t wow me.

Destash- boscia was old so needed to go. Korres mask was ok but strong. Andalou mask is harsh a small irritated my skin. Others were just old.

Nah- verb shampoo left a greasy film at times. Used up on my daughter since she only washes her hair a few times a weeks. Drunk elephant irritated my skin. They reservoir effect was a no go for me as I couldn’t use other actives with it.

Nice set of empties, @jen81!! I've also been enjoying the Living Proof PhD shampoo.

[Samtian]

@jen81 Wow great job! I had to laugh when I saw the pudding...I think I have one in my drawer somewhere...haha.

[jen81]

Yes was so excited to try it out. Used it like 5 times then forgot all about it! Oopsie! @Samtian

I didn't care for the c firma either @jen81 great empties!!

March 2020 empties ! These three first months of the year have been slow in terms of empties, but I've been using some products that were quite full to begin with. I'm hoping the next few months will be more productive ! 🙂 

Spoiler

• Shiseido Facial Cotton – 165 Sheets : This is a cult classic for a reason. Shiseido cotton rounds are the softest ones I have used, and it’s convenient to apply toner and remove makeup in the eyes area as well. I enjoy the fact that there is no lint residue sticking to my face after using these, and that these don’t scratch my skin. * Have been repurchasing it for years already.
• Yadah Collagen Mask Pack : One of my favorite sheet masks. It really makes your skin glowy, and it feels plumped and softer after using it. The snail essence also does wonder for inflammation and moisture. Overall, I feel like I could be using it at any time and I’d always get great results. * Would repurchase in the future. Hoping I can find it again at Marshall’s for a great price !
• Laneige Apple Lime Lip Sleeping Mask (3 g - 0.10 oz.) : Very lovely overnight lip masks, I really enjoy using it. I haven’t had dry lips since I started using it on a regular basis. A little goes a long way, and my lips stay smooth day after day. Also, the apple lime version is my favorite scent I’ve tried of it so far. Wonderful price for the quantity + quality, imo. * Would repurchase a full size of this scent next time. Have other minis and full sizes of this product to finish first though.
• L’Occitane en Provence Festive Garden Light Hand Cream : Fantastic smell, and I loveeeed the whipped cream texture ! I hope they bring back this formula eventually. L’Occitane’s light hand creams are my favorites to bring at work, because they aren’t greasy and they absorb quickly into the skin. Plus, they provide enough moisture for my skin. This version was no exception to the rule. * This was limited edition, but I would repurchase similar hand creams from the brand.
• Cosrx One Step Original Clear Pad (70 Pads) : These pads are excellent to use both in the morning or at night time. They aren’t harsh yet they remove impurities effectively, without irritating your skin. I have combo skin and found that it also helps with texture to a certain extent, as well as healing acne faster. The pads are generously pre-soaked, and don’t dry out easily.  * I have a backup of these, and I will keep repurchasing in the future. Excellent quality for the price !

Spoiler

• The Face Shop Real Nature Bamboo Face Mask : The whole line of Real Nature sheet masks is great to me, and this is no exception. The bamboo one gives moisture and doesn’t make my skin sticky and oily afterwards. I would say though that my favorites from the line are lemon, rice, aloe and green tea ones. * Would use again. Sometimes I get these in a set with various kinds, so while I prefer other a bit better, I don’t mind using the others too.

Empties YTD : 32

Also, since I am now staying at home because of the pandemic, I started reorganizing products in my stash and I will be decluttering more in the upcoming weeks I believe !

Spoiler

• Colourpop Jelly Much Shadows in Swindle & Perfectly Wretched : Absolutely loved the effect of these shadows and the texture ! Shades were also super lovely. However, it dried up very fast and I couldn’t use it all up, even if I kept the protective lids on.
• Sol de Janeiro Coco Cabana Cream (25ml - Deluxe Sample) : It expired before I could use it all up. It was the first version of it, and I wasn’t a big fan of the scent. I will try to smell the new version when stores reopen, to see if I enjoy it more.

I've been meaning to give those CosRx pads a go for the longest time @emiie. Loved reading that you didn't find them to be drying on the skin. How often do you use them? Once per day? Every day?

[quspork]

Love the Shiseido cottons! They are so luxe and comfy to use, @emiie!

[haleyvvvv]

Nice empties, @emiie!! Totally agree about the SDJ Coci Cabana Cream and love the Shiseido cottons!!
