#empties2025 October 🍂🌞
Here come October's sticky beauty sins😀 👌FAVORITES👌 - Here’s what I want to buy or have already bought many times! There are so many, but I’ll list a few and the rest can be seen in the photo👍 💗Marina Miracle Sweet & Creamy oil Cleanser - wonderful organic☘️ facial cleanser for dry skin with a slightly sweet, creamy scent. Perfect when you don’t have sf or waterproof makeup and don’t want to deal with double cleansing😁 (which I honestly find super annoying😬). Norwegian MM is of course also cruelty free🐁🐒🐇 like all organic brands. (Not all vegan brands are, however). 💗 Paula's Choice Omega complex cleansing balm - unfragranced cleansing balm - perfect for double cleansing. 💗Kocostar Leg Relax therapy - cooling and soothing leg masks🧊🦵🦵 Super nice for swollen legs or in my case: not swollen but tired, heavy, and aching legs after overexertion (due to physical illness). Worth their weight in gold - and they cost that too😉 💗Dr. PawPaw Your gorgeous skin hydrating face mist was super nice but of course was discontinued when I wanted to buy it🤥 My usual fate👎😁 💗Klorane Dry shampoo volume with organic flax - same here🤥 💗Antipodes Diem vitamin C pigment correcting water cream - so lovely, lightweight face cream for the T-zone in late summer😙 💗Depend Supersnabb nail polish remover - the best!💗 💗Ole Henriksen Strength peptide boost moisturizer - delightful👏 💗Mádara Retinol alternative plant-powered eye serum - pleasant eye serum with - hopefully - effective anti-aging effect😊 I have very dry skin under my eyes, so I apply eye cream on top. 💗Mádara Retinol alternative plant-powered serum - the same but for face, neck, and décolleté. I, who have thin, dry skin, cannot use Retinol, so I go with these plant-based organic☘️ alternatives👍 💗Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun rice + probiotics has been one of my favorite sunscreens. This is the old version, I haven’t tried the reformulated one🙂 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE WON'T BUY AGAIN 🤔 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️Balance Gold + marine collagen hydrogel under eyes mask (can’t the name be made longer?😅) came with 3 pairs in a box but that was probably the only advantage. 🤷♀️AimX Revive me - under-eye mask with snow mushroom extract I can’t even remember😀 🤷♀️Astrid Glow Expert 4D hydrogel eye gels were sweet pink but not much more. 🤷♀️Klairs All-day airy sunscreen is everyone’s favorite but not mine🥺 Unfragranced but smelled a bit musty because of that🤢 but now I’ve tried it and don’t have to wonder how it is😁 🧴SAMPLES THAT DID NOT TEMPT TO BUY🧴 🧴Schwarzkopf Blonde deep repair mask neither impressed me nor my bleached highlights. ⛔NO⛔ ⛔Sephora De-puffing eye patches contain cucumber extract but were not at all de-puffing and smelled like rotten cucumbers🤢😅👎 ⛔Bondi Sands Eye Spy brightening Eye Cream separated despite being new, did NOT brighten and contains like onions on salmon several silicones that never provide anything more than a temporary cosmetic effect, which a good eye cream does not need👀 Yep, that was quite a lot this time too🧴🧼🛍️ but I feel satisfied to have managed to use up a lot of leftovers, which can be difficult as a beauty hoarder when you always want to open something new, not to mention buying new🥺 which the #empties project aims to stop😊 There will probably be more beauty sins now in November! Thanks again🙏 to lovely Malin #Malinadenfina who started this and #projectpan here on Social a few years ago - you are my constant inspiration💜 #empties2025 October38 views- The comment was made 9 hoursYes! Yay! In the shower, I also have a number of small sad remnants🥺 that also need to die😅 So annoying to dry the shelves at the moment, so that's also a reason + if I get rid of a little, maybe it will inspire my husband to buy something new from all the things I've wished for😉 Hugs💜💜💜1 likes

Good price🤑
And lasts long due to the large packaging, but uncertain results for me🤷♀️ I am 🌸55 years old and in the photo with my alias, I am 52, so I have had genetic luck with youthful skin🍀😀 🌸Have had dry, fine-pored skin since my 20s. 🌸Have taken good care of my skin since my teenage years and only sunbathed a little. 🌸No acne scars and almost no wrinkles. 🌸Now due to age, I have started to get less dry skin on my forehead, some enlarged pores on and around my nose + some smaller pigment spots😧🤥 as well as pigment spots on the décolletage due to too little sun protection there in my younger days. I started with C-vitamin serum about 2 years ago and have 2 favorites: the one from Skinceuticals and REN Skincare. Puritos is not a third, unfortunately. The main reason is that I have not seen any results after 5 months. I thought the others gave better results😊 ➕Good price. ➕Good that it contains a full 5% ascorbic acid, which is supposed to be a good source of C-vitamin. ➕ Cruelty free 🐒🐇🐁🐕 ➕Vegan☘️ ➕Lasts long due to generous packaging of 60 ml! ➕Easy-to-use pump bottle made of brown plastic. ➕Did not irritate my skin. ➖No results after 4, soon 5 months of regular use almost every morning on my face and on my neck and décolletage. ➖It contains niacinamide. Unfortunately, I missed that! My skin becomes dry, red, and tight from it, and I do not want it on e.g. cheeks, neck, and décolletage for that reason. Can explain why it never felt appealing to use this here! ➖There is so much product that it is absolutely impossible to use it up within the recommended time of 3 months without also using it on hands and forearms. As I said, I thought I saw results with the other two brands where the skin also felt soft afterward, but one is too expensive for me (Skinceuticals) and the other just went bankrupt (REN Skincare)🤥 I bought my bottle from an online pharmacy. It was brown-colored and smelled like ascorbic acid products often do; a bit appropriately funky and musty🤢😁 I know that it is normal, but I would have preferred to avoid either the color or the smell😉 However, I would have gladly put up with both if I had gotten results😁 I give this here 3 stars. ⭐⭐⭐ #lykoreview

Sisterdær🤷♀️
Now I’m going against the grain (again) when I don’t give this sunscreen top marks but just a wimpy three😄 I have dry, thin, slightly sensitive skin that this summer, now that I’m 55 years old, was significantly less dry for the first time since I was... around 20😀 It was quite nice! Still, I need both serum, cream, and often oil under sunscreen, but in slightly lighter versions than before😊 I thought this one, which I got in a box last summer, would be good. It WAS good but not more than that for me: unscented but with a distinct smell of the unscented that bothered me. Many products have that smell which in my extremely sensitive nose 👃 reminds me of something spoiled food 🤢 Then it was slower to absorb than many others and contains niacinamide which I can’t tolerate on my neck and décolleté. Had to use another sunscreen there = inconvenient😬 Aside from that, the creamy consistency was very nice and the tube lasted quite a while🤑 However, there will be no repurchase when I have so many other sf-favorites (as a true beauty hoarder, I already have 7 with good dates in line and a mini for sunny autumn days IF they come between the rains☔🤷♀️)! ⭐⭐⭐ #lykoreview1 product in post Sisterdær🤷♀️ - The post was made 4 weeks
#empties2025 september 🍁🌞🍁
I thought I’d get out of the wagon and do September’s beauty trash while it’s still October😁 One reason I’m continuing with this #empties project is that I want to see how much skincare🧴 I actually use up each month! (The answer is, surprisingly a lot🛍️). My products are for very dry, a bit sensitive, very thin skin and I buy a lot of organic☘️ + prioritize brands that don’t test on animals. 🥇FAVORITES 🥇 Things that are bought again and again/all I want to buy again! Almost everything is reviewed by me IF it’s available to buy here😀 I’m listing some of them - the rest can be seen in the picture🧴🧴🧴 🥇Simply When Water wish - incredibly moisturizing💦 lightly soothing sheet mask. 🥇Yves Rocher Leave in botanical balm Light - leave-in product that gives light hold without silicones👏 for fine hair. 🥇C/o Gerd B2 Hair Serum also gives light hold with a faint mandarin scent that disappears when the hair dries. Unfortunately, Lyko has stopped carrying it now👎 🥇Aveeno Yoghurt body cream Apricot 🍑 & Honey🍯 🥇Geek & Gorgeous Happier Barrier - nice summer cream IF it’s complemented with serum, oil, and rich sf😀 🥇Bioderma Sensibio H2O eyes - very effective but gentle eye makeup remover for waterproof makeup. Doesn’t quite measure up to the blissfully departed "Medik8 Eyes and Lips micellar..." but is very good😊 🥇Maria Åkerberg Neroli Freshener is also a summer favorite with a wonderful scent💕 🤷♀️OK - BUT MAYBE NOT BUYING AGAIN 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️FAB First Beauty Aid Wild oat hydrating toner - softening and soothing facial water with, among other things, oats was good but contains a bit too many questionable chemicals for my taste👎 🤷♀️Neal's Yard Wild Rose glow facial oil - was unfortunately my last product from the British organic brand Neal's Yard as they have stopped selling in Sweden🤥👎 Wouldn’t have bought this oil again, but love many of their other products🧴 🤷♀️Apolosophys Niacinamide serum 10% I could only use in the T-zone and barely that - too strong for my skin but worth it if you can tolerate it🤑 I have to stick to their lovely peptide serum instead👍 🧴SAMPLES THAT DIDN'T TEMPT TO BUY 🧴 🧴Summer Fridays Jet lag Overnight eye serum was good but better options exist for puffy skin around the eyes👁️ ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME ⛔ ⛔Sence Hydrogel eye mask made zero difference for me, unfortunately🤥 ⛔Dermalogica Oil to foam total cleanser was unfortunately way too drying and still didn’t remove everything even though it sounds tempting to only need ONE cleanser😄 I actually haven’t made a single impulse purchase of skincare in September👍 but the bag with extra skincare is still overflowing with various serums, sf, etc. = my so-called finds from the whole year🛍️Embarrassing😳😄 and soon it’s Black Friday when new finds always creep in for me😉 Then it’s all about thinking intensely about #empties and why we are beauty hoarders... if that helps😁 #empties2025 september - The post was made 1 month
