March Empties! T’was a good month. Most of these were products I’ve been working on for months.
As usual, categories:
- Loves (will/already have repurchased)
- Likes (likes enough to use it again someday)
- Meh (meh)
- Underline (already repurchased)
March FS/DS Loves!
- ShiruKotto (takes some getting used to, but great facial cotton. It doesn’t absorb a lot of product, meaning everything goes to your face, not your cotton! This was a gift from a friend in Japan.)
- Sephora Green Tea Gel Cleanser (A great second cleanser. I typically used this after the body shop cleanser. I think they’re phasing it out though? 😦 )
- Botanics Shine Away Clay Mask (Amazing fast-working clay mask. A bit watery.)
- It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed (Keeps away the shine.)
- Christophe Robin Sea Salt Scrub (tad pricey, but lovely scent + great scalp scrub. I don’t use this as a shampoo, but more of a scalp treatment.)
- Hurraw! Lip Balm in Coffee (My favorite lip balm. I’ve been using this for years. Should’ve posted a review a million years ago.)
- L’oreal HydraFresh Moisturizer (Great moisturizer but so hard to find.)
- Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter (Caroline Hirons hooked me onto this. My mom loves it, too)
- Dove Body Polish in Macademia & Rice Milk (The most intoxicating scent and leaves my skin baby-soft. Dries easily though.)
- Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Light Mauve (One of my favorite blushes…but god, these Fit Me blushes have such flimsy packaging. It always breaks a month in.)
March Likes! and Mehs.
- Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water (Lovely delicate scent. Doesn’t clean as well as my Bioderma though.)
- Tony Moly Easy Touch Eyeliner in Brown (Nice color but the brush tip was too hard. Wasn’t like the one I used before. )
- Philosophy Vanilla Birthday Cake ( 😦 .. The scent wasn’t rich enough. I could barely smell it. Formula is as always, decent)
- Nexxus Conditioner (My fourth bottle methinks)
- Amorepacific Enzyme Peel (I noticed nothing … the Tatcha or NUDE powder is more to my liking. Love their face spray though.)
- Bath & Body Works Candy Apple (Love the initial scent. Dries down too sweet, too cloying. Decent moisturizer, non-tacky.)
Hope to finish off more before I leave for Korea in May.
I’ve been doing a relatively good job of keeping my empties. Started doing this mid September last year, and it really helped me form a comprehensive idea of my spending habits and product usage.
I’ve been working on using up my opened items, as I’ll be traveling to Korea this April. I’m not coming back for nearly five months, so any item that’s on verge of expiring, I will use up or discard 🙂
I used up quite of bit of my foil sample/mask stash this March. Between this and my tsbs, I think I can use up nearly everything by April!
Sad to say there was at least one epic fail this month.
Last but not least, packaging from Lush goodies I used up, plus an empty cotton pad packet. I recently used up:
And finally, here are some of my past empties 🙂
