And we are back with another full box of empties. Let’s not waste too much time with this intro and dive right on in!
SWISSPERS MAKE UP PADS
I use these morning and night for my skincare. While I have already repurchased these, I am in the process of finding more environmentally friendly alternatives.
CLARISONIC REFRESHING GEL CLEANSER
I ended up with this when I bought my new Clarisonic. I used it up but I wouldn’t actively seek it out to buy. I also may have broken the cap. I do not know how.
OLE HENRIKSEN TRUTH SERUM
I love this stuff and I already have a backup that I’m using. I do notice a huge difference in my skin, especially in regards to my acne scarring when I use it. Definitely worth the money on it’s own but you can easily score this in a bundle.
GARNIER SKIN ACTIVE JUICY PEEL MASK
This wasn’t a peel off mask. I was disappoint. I still liked it though and I would grab more. The Garnier sachet masks are super cheap to begin with.
ORIGINSÂ GINZING ENERGY BOOSTING GEL MOISTURISER
My favourite affordable moisturiser! It soaks into the skin quickly, doesn’t leave any residue and it smells like oranges. Definite repurchase!
NEUTROGENA YOUTHFUL BOOST SLEEPING MASK
I’m still on the fence as to how I feel about this mask. I like the way it made my skin feel the next day but I hate the packaging. I would be interested in the sheet masks they have.
BUDDY SCRUBS RAW CACAO & SWEET ORANGE BODY SCRUB
This was just in my most recent favourites and I already have a backup. If you like a more gritty scrub, I highly recommend this one!
L’OREAL PURE CLAY ANTI-BLEMISH MASK
This was a mission to get through! I bought this back in November and it felt like it would never end! As much as I have liked the other L’oreal masks, I probably wouldn’t repurchase this one. I just didn’t notice it doing anything for my skin.
SKYN ICELAND COOLING DAILY LOTION
This stuff is so cool! And I mean that literally! It has a menthol feel when applied to the skin and it’s really refreshing. I would consider buying this for the summer months.
BIORE SELF HEATING ONE MINUTE MASK
On the opposite end of the heat spectrum, I have gone through countless packs of these and I always have them in my bathroom. I use these on my lazy nights when I want to do a treatment but I’m too tired to do anything extensive.
CLINIQUE PEP START DOUBLE BUBBLE PURIFYING MASK
I’ve heard so many good things about this mask, so I was pretty delighted to get a sample of it. This would also be great for those lazy nights because you only have it on the skin for a few minutes. The bubbles also aren’t obnoxious, unlike other bubble masks I have tried and my skin did look clearer pretty quickly.
THE ORDINARY SALICYLIC ACID 2% SOLUTION
This one is tough for me because as much as I loved this and as affordable as it is, I do have issues with the behavior of the CEO and I’m more than a little reluctant to buy anything from them at the moment.
DRUNK ELEPHANT B-HYDRA INTENSIVE HYDRATION GEL
I had an interesting relationship with this. Initially, I hated it because it was just too much hydration for my skin so it sat in my bathroom cabinet. Then the temperature plummeted 20 degrees and all of a sudden, my skin needed that extra hydration. I would repurchase this next winter.
MAYBELLINE TOTAL TEMPATATION MASCARA
I did a review on this mascara that should cover why this is being decluttered. I really wanted to love it but I didn’t want to wait for the formula to dry out more.
SKIN REPUBLIC DETOX CHAROCAL PLUS SHEET MASK
I’m still making my way through the pile of these I have in my bathroom.
DERMALOGICA OVERNIGHT REPAIR SERUM
I’m pretty sure this is similar to the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate. I like the Kiehl’s one better. This had a really strong rose scent that I didn’t like
111SKIN CELESTIAL BLACK DIAMOND EYE CREAM
Used the sample. Loved it. Looked up the price. Died.
TATCHA GENTLE RICE ENZYME POWDER
I’m really getting into these rice powder exfoliants and this was no exception. I recently heard that Tatcha has expanded the range of these so if they made one for oily skin, I would try that.
LA ROCHE-POSAY EYE CREAM
It was fine. I still prefer gel formulas though.
AVENE CICALFATE RESTORATIVE SKIN CREAM
I used this on my hips when it was especially cold. It soaked in quickly and it made me feel less scaly. I would buy the full size next winter.
And that’s all for last month! As always, let me know what you finished down below.
Cheers and love
