October empties🍂
Sharing my empties from October🌸 ✅Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for normal/sensitive skin. A big favorite. I always use micellar water as my only cleanser in the morning. Feels fresh and doesn't dry out my skin🌸 ✅hth Body Lotion original Always in my bathroom. The best body cream in my opinion. Keeps my keratosis pilaris at bay🌸 ✅Gliss Total Repair Balsam Spray This balsam spray is a staple in my home. My hair is thick, curly, and demanding. This balsam spray is just as good as many other more expensive variants🌸 ✅The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% An excellent toner. This bottle has lasted me over a year. Unfortunately, I had to switch to a milder exfoliating toner as my skin is apparently in a sensitive phase🌸 ✅ACO Balancing Face Cream My “holy grail” when it comes to moisturizer. Always have it in stock at home. A rich cream that hydrates, repairs, and soothes my skin. No fuss🌸 ✅ACO Soothing Eye Cream I usually don’t use eye cream. I hydrate the skin around my eyes with my regular moisturizer. But I got eczema around my eyes last spring. And this worked very well🌸 ✅Smuuti Watermelon lipmask I always have a lip balm close at hand. I really like this one. It does what it’s supposed to do, simply🌸 #empties7 products in post October empties🍂386 views- The comment was made 2 weeksMicellar water from Garnier is always good, and it's fun to see your empties🥰1 likes

Empties
Some of the #empties I haven't thrown away yet 🫣 ❤️ Rituals The ritual of karma 24h anti-perspirant spray Wonderful scent - the same as the rest of the line. Works really well. I will definitely buy again. ❤️ Sundae honey honey 🍯 whipped shower foam. Really nice and foamy shower foam. I will definitely buy again, but right now I'm testing the scent hot chocolate 🍫 instead. ❤️ Rituals The ritual of yozakura rich foaming shower gel. Wonderful foam, but sundae is a bit cozier. The scent is magical though! I will definitely buy more from this line. ❤️ Hagi natural intimate wash gel. Smells plasticky and disgusting to my nose. Used it up but will absolutely not buy again. Good thing I have another favorite (Yope). ❤️ Korres greek yoghurt foaming cleanser. Absolutely crazy good! And without drying out my dry skin. I will definitely buy this again, but right now I'm testing one from Maria Åkerberg.2 products in post Empties154 views - The post was made 2 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
August #empties🧴🛍️
So here we are on the last day of September, AUGUST #empties 😁 This was supposed to be posted a few weeks ago, but instead of fighting with a screaming app 😊, I chose to enjoy the beautiful Indian summer days that September has given us 🌞🍁🌞 👌FAVORITES👌 HERE IS A BIT OF WHAT I KEEP BUYING OR THINKING ABOUT BUYING 👍 Reviews from me can be found under my profile on almost everything 🙂 👌Medicube collagen lifting mask was cooling and lovely for my dry skin.. 👌Avène Eau thermale - mild facial water in spray form, extra nice on hot days 💦 👌Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant - the enzyme peel that lasts forever 🤑 👌Comfort Zone Sun soul face cream spf 50 - best sunscreen WITHOUT NIACINAMIDE 👍👏🙏 for all of us whose skin doesn't always like that ingredient! 👌Bondi Sands Daily moisturising face spf 50 - also mild, unfragranced sun protection for the face 🌞 👌Balance Active formula Gold + marine collagen hydrogel masks (but please, can't the name be made a little longer??? 😉) are big but quite slippery and have previously only been okay, but now they did more good for my swollen skin around the eyes 👁️👁️🤔 👌Nobe Cooling care de-puffing eye patches sat really well 👏 (nice to not risk getting them in the breakfast cereal 😁) even though they weren't super good. 👌Beauty Jar Cool eyes liquid eye patches - the liquid, incredibly affordable eye mask 🤑 👌Mádara Retinol alternative plant-powered eye serum - so mild and lovely organic creamy eye serum with anti-aging effect without retinol! 👌Zoya Goes Pretty Shea butter with lavender oil - organic and vegan unrefined shea butter with soothing lavender oil - so lovely for sensitive, dry skin to have on at the very end when the cream and oil have sunk in 😊 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE NOT BUYING AGAIN 🤔 🤔Mixsoon Glacier water hyaluronic acid serum - is despite the name NOT a serum but a light moisturizing facial water. Moisturizing serum is still needed if you have dry skin, so it's a pretty unnecessary product. Maybe suitable if you're in your late teens! 🤔Torriden Solid in cream was nice and extremely affordable 🤑 but my skin didn't really like all the ingredients and got micro-bumps from it 🤥 🤔Urtekram Hand cream Soft Wild Rose is organic, soft and lovely and smells so mild of rose 🌹 but doesn't suffice for my dry hands 😊 🧴SAMPLES THAT DID NOT TEMPT TO BUY 🧴 🧴Dermalogica Intensive moisture balance absolutely did not suffice for my dry skin 🤥 ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME ⛔ ⛔Sans Soucis Cleansing toner for all skin types is supposed to suit all skin types as it contains no alcohol. However, it has a very strong fragrance 👎🤥 Felt very drying as well 👎 ⛔REN Skincare Overnight glow dark spot sleeping cream gave neither the slightest glow nor removed dark spots 👎 I have now managed to get rid of a whole lot of old impulse buys from my bags and cabinets 👝🧴🛍️ by using them in new ways 🤔 since they didn't really suit my facial skin anyway 🤥 It is SO hard not to buy a ton of new stuff as a beauty hoarder, so I'm now trying to just refill what is empty, so MAYBE I will get to buy a luxurious advent calendar with skincare 🤔 Or maybe not 😉 THANK YOU Malin #Malinadenfina 🙏💜 for starting with #empties and #projectpan (using up makeup) here on Social! #empties2025 August178 views- The comment was made 1 monthThank you, Anna🙏💕 I love Mádara's products overall, and I have the eye serum and face serum instead of Retinol products because they should give the same effect😊 but without side effects!

A seeeeen #empties2025 July😁
Latest #emptien ever??? Yes, probably😊 Lost my motivation when the app struggled all of August, but here come the beauty trash🛍️😄 No tagging due to too much technical trouble🙄 👌FAVORITES👌 Is such a thing that will be bought if everything has already been bought in several gr! Mentioning a few: 👌 Kocostar Ice cream waffles mask that is so lovely for dry skin and smells like soft serve🍦 A lot of serum in it that lasts many days🤑 👌It’s Skin Rose sheet mask - wonderful rose-scented🌹 sheet mask for dry, slightly sensitive skin. 👌Hyggee Relief Blue mask - sheet mask that softens and calms. 👌Paula’s Choice Omega complex cleansing balm - unfragranced cleansing balm that is really good, economical + the brand is cruelty free🐇🐁🐒👏 👌Byoma Depuff & Brighten eye gel is unfragranced and really reduces puffiness well👏 Will be bought when I run out of a couple of others😁 👌 Crazy Rumors Leaping Bunny - organic, vegan lip balm with plum and apricot scent! Love this brand's lip balm that comes in many flavors (Lyko only has about half) that is also cruelty free👏 👌Zoya goes pretty Shea butter with argan oil I use as a night balm on cheeks, neck, and décolletage when the rest of the skincare including the oil has sunk in! A lifesaver for dry skin, and the little jar lasts a lonnnnng time👏 Eco, vegan, and cf👏 👌Akamuti Nilotica East Africa Shea butter - the best night hand cream in the world😊 Eco, vegan, and cf👏 👌Amika Perk up Dry shampoo smells good and is the rescue for my oily scalp. 👌Eleven Sea salt texture spray - the favorite among salt sprays! Smells like candy🍬🍭 🧴SAMPLES THAT LURED RESP BUT DIDN'T LURE TO PURCHASE🧴 🧴REN SKINCARE Clean jelly oil cleanser was really nice, so I have already invested in a large tube👍 🧴Eisenberg La protection idéale spf 30 does not attract my dry skin at all👎😄 🤔OK - BUT KKÖP MAYBE NOT🤔 🤔Sans Soucis Daily vitamin Grape cream - face cream with grape🍇 was really nice until my eyes suddenly started watering from the perfume🤥 so then it had to work as a lower leg cream😊 🤔Babor Hydra Oil cleanser & Phyto Hy-Oil booster is a cleansing set that consists of two oil cleansers that are to be used together. The skin became soft and lovely but still didn’t feel completely clean from this tricky duo🤥 Confusing and not really good for my skin, but I got it in some box and wanted to give it a chance! ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME⛔ ⛔Bangerhead Hi heels foot balm was a watery, aftershave-smelling foot cream that I’d rather never see again😉 I’m still proud that I, as a proven beauty hoarder 🧴👝🧽 managed to finish some purchases that I regretted. I could use them in a different way than intended so that I didn’t have to throw them away 💸 - which is a bit of the idea with #empties ☺️ Thanks again to the lovely Malin Malinadenfina who kicked this off and #projectpan here on Lyko Social a few years ago🙏💖 Now I’m going to clean out the bags and finally deal with the August trash🧴🛍️😁 #empties2025 July - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

#projectpan 2025 - eternal makeup
that NEVER ends🤥🙄😅 These are the products I have selected from my HUGE makeup collection, and these are what I focus on when I do my makeup 1-2 times/week. Unfortunately, I often can't manage more often due to physical illness, but I apply lipstick every day💄 to lift my spirits, and I also use powder foundation on my neck and décolletage every day! 🍀My oldest product is (probably) the cream blush/multi-stick from the German organic brand Nui Cosmetics - bought around 2018 and smells and works perfectly👌 The pink shade turns a cool rose pink on the skin, so pretty and lasts all day👍 🍀The French brand Absolution is no longer available for purchase in Sweden, but they probably have the world's best organic concealer! Le Multi Correcteur in the lightest shade covers my dark circles😀 A half grain of rice is enough for one eye, so yes, it lasts a couple of years for me😃 🍀I've been working hard on PÜR Cosmetics pressed mineral foundation since May, when I opened it! Heavy and bulky compact, so it doesn't fit in my handbag👎 🍀Lily Lolo Eyebrow Duo in "Light" with hard-pressed waxy powder on one side and pure wax on the other is perfect when I actually need to dye my brows. Organic as well, cool in tone and MAY be older than I want to think about😉 but smells perfect even though it looks dirty😁 🍀NCLA Beauty is now best known for its delicious lip and body scrubs and lip masks but also had lipsticks💄 before! "Pasadena Roses" is like my own lip color (gets darker on the lips), very pleasant and pretty. With different lip liners, I can make it darker for the fall😊 🍀Hourglass Voyeur waterproof in neutral dark brown "Cave" is a super nice gel eyeliner! Just a pity that I don't suit brown, so it takes a long time to use it🙄 I won it a few years ago, so I don't want to throw it away😅 🍀Benecos Natural kajal in "Grey" is a nicely dark gray organic matte eyeliner. Unfortunately not waterproof, but I use it together with 🍀Isadora's waterproof Perfect contour kajal in number 68 "Steel Grey" and the result is really nice👌 This is my second to last of Isadora's retractable eyeliner that was discontinued a couple of years ago👎 when I stocked up on a few😉 This one is starting to dry out in the wood around the pencil that keeps falling out🤥 so it has some aging issues😀 It feels really nice to work systematically on these things and about 20 others that also have a few years on them🙂 As a beauty hoarder, it's so nice to see the results of all the impulse buys🙄 when something runs out😉😁 A big THANK YOU🙏🥰 to the lovely Malin #malinadenfina here on Social who started #projectpan and #empties at Lyko a few years ago and continues to inspire💖 #projectpan505 views- The comment was made 3 monthsWise words, Cecilia! ❤️ hope you are right about my daughter, it gives me some peace🥰 hugs, dear friend❤️1 likes

#empties2025 June - unusually little🧴🧴🧴😊
I've never had such a small amount of beauty trash since I jumped on #empties and #projectpan here on Lyko a few years ago😉 Malin #malinadenfina who started both on Lyko would probably be satisfied☺ As usual, no linking from my side as it usually gets the post deleted🤥 Among the favorites are things I've bought multiple times and can imagine buying again, and most of them I've reviewed. 👌FAVORITES👌 👌Barulabs sheet mask with hyaluronic acid💦 Super nice! 👌Four reason Color conditioner - candy-scented good conditioner for colored hair that I use for my uncolored hair with bleached highlights! 👌By Wishtrend Mandelic 5% skin preparatory water - mild acid peeling in liquid form. 👌Eco Cosmetics Lip care - best balm👏🏻 Is also organic🌱👍 👌Tocobo Bio watery sun cream - very light, thin sunscreen with SPF 50, good for faces that sweat easily in the heat, like mine☺ 👌Bubble T's various eye masks - very nice and good. 🤔OK BUT MAYBE WON'T BUY AGAIN🤔 🤔Sachajuan Anti-pollution shampoo - ok but didn't suit my oily scalp so I gave it to my husband who it suited better. 🤔Glam of Sweden Collagen eye mask - ok but didn't do much good. 🤔Etude Collagen eye patch - ditto. 🧴SAMPLES THAT TEMPT TO BUY🧴 🧴Doctor Babor Hydro filler serum and 🧴Medik8 Hydra B5 Intense were both equally lovely, plump moisture serums that are both way too expensive for me💸 That was June's sticky beauty trash🛍☺ I have a feeling there will be much more in July🙄😄 #empties2025 July #malinadenfina543 views- The comment was made 4 monthsSusann Gerd Marianne Thank you, so nice to hear🥰 The mask isn't available here, I got it in an advent calendar but you can find it if you google! The sunscreen felt light and nice when you get warm and it's available here😊

May and June empties!
I thought I’d share my latest empties that I’ve saved up during May and June. I’m fully in the process of emptying half-full bottles, hence many different shampoos😅 (not a single conditioner!) Maybe it’s noticeable that there’s a lot of hair care, but hair care is just soooo fun😍 Everything in this empties I could buy again and there are many products that I’ve already repurchased (mostly just favorites) #empties633 views- The comment was made 4 monthsHmm yeah tough question but I think it could turn out pretty good with the Biotherm deo, Scalp detox shampoo from Dr. Ceracle and hair mist from Wella Professional to get a bit of moisture too🙈🏝️

#empties2025 May 🛍
Here come my latest beauty trash, once again late due to all the hassle in the app and on the website. The app just deleted the entire post👎 even this month🤯 so I'm now trying via the website😶 👌FAVORITES👌 Here are old and new favorites. I’m NOT linking as it also leads to the deletion of the post, don’t ask me why🤔 I’ll list some, the rest will hopefully be visible in the photo🙂 👌Makeup revolution Salicylic shampoo - light, deep cleansing shampoo with tea tree and salicylic acid for oily hair. Nice👍 👌Yves Rocher Bourbon Vanilla body lotion - SO good, economical and cheap body cream with lovely bourbon vanilla😋 👌Mádara Deep moisture nourish cream - organic🌱 day cream for dry skin. Love💜! 👌Loelle argan oil - best facial oil for dry skin👍 Swedish and organic👏🏻 It’s only in summer that I use a lighter oil, like rose oil or rosehip seed oil. 👌Novexperts micellar water is the best I’ve ever had for my dry skin! Unfortunately, this wonderful French organic brand has now disappeared from the Swedish market👎 so I’ll have to use Google Translate to buy directly from the brand going forward😟😁 👌Neal's Yard Wild rose hand cream. British organic that unfortunately has also stopped selling to Sweden👎 All my favorites are disappearing🤥👎👎👎 👌Bondi Sands Sweet Dreams is a hyaluronic acid-filled night cream that I should have saved for summer because it was too rich for my dry skin during spring/winter. 👌Maria Åkerberg Nail & Cuticle oil - best nail oil but also the one with the worst smell that gives me headaches😟 and sometimes nausea. 👌Maria Åkerberg Hand cream - simple but healing day hand cream. 👌Coola Sun silk drops spf 30 - illuminating, super nice organic sunscreen perfect for the cold and wind of spring/winter! Of course, it’s now discontinued at Lyko👎 👌Kocostar Waffle mask Maple = easiest possible gentle acid treatment👏🏻 The mask in sugar maple extract = AHA acid and is incredibly nice, not the least bit irritating🙂 👌Klairs Rich moist soothing tencel mask provides moisture and contains several ceramides that nourish etc.👍 Perfect for dry skin/dry skin that is irritated👏🏻 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE WON'T BUY AGAIN🤔 🤔REF Ocean mist - terrible spray function but ok salt spray. 🤔Essence cuticle cream with apricot scent🍑 Came in their advent calendar. 🤔Kocostar Princess eye patch silver is actually very good but was too old when it arrived (NOT from Lyko) and therefore had practically no effect👎 🧴SAMPLES THAT DON'T/AREN'T TEMPTING TO BUY🧴 🧴I'M NATURKOSMETIK Clean beauty rosehip moisturizing cream was super nice. This German organic brand🌱 has SO good products👏🏻 🧴Isntree Hyaluronic acid watery sun gel spf 50 was a very pleasant, light sunscreen that suited my heat-sensitive and lightly sweating face very well👍 🧴Comfort Zone Remedy defense face cream - zero effect and nutrient-poor. 🧴It Cosmetics CC cream "Light" was extremely dark and absolutely NOT for me (see review)😉 ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME⛔ ⛔Murad Rapid dark spot correcting serum gave ZERO positive effect but gladly eczema👎 Hope the website and app get their act together soon, like for June's #empties Liiite tiring to always have to redo the post at least once🙄 It’s otherwise o/interesting to see how many beauty products you go through as a beauty hoarder👝🧴🧼🛍 Thanks to Malin #malinadenfina who started this here on Lyko social🙏💜 #empties2025 May197 views- The comment was made 5 monthsThanks, Anna🙏☺ Yes, I've had Mádara's cream for many years now, also the night cream, the same with the Kocostarmask👍 I think YR has reformulated the vanilla series now but haven't tested anything from the new one😁 - yet😉1 likes

🫧✨ Empties skincare edition ✨🫧
I've been so inspired by your #empties posts that I've seen from ElliR and Jessika 🤩 Here are some empties I've finished in the bathroom cabinet skincare version! 🫧 🩷 Banila Co - Clean it zero 11/10!!! 👏🏼✨ (my holy grail! 🫶🏻) Takes off all types of makeup, doesn't sting the eyes, and leaves the skin soft and clean 👌🏼 Already bought a new one in a larger size, as I've noticed I always need to have one of these at home! 😂 🖤 Cosrx - Hyaluronic acid 3 6/10 I feel like my skin is hydrated but felt like I needed to use quite a bit of the formula which made it run out faster than other serums I've used. Won't be buying again, need to test something else 🔮 💚 Anua - Heartleaf LHA moisture peel 4/10 Nice to use, felt clean afterwards but didn't do anything for my pores. Maybe just too mild for my skin 🤔 Won't be buying a new one, need to find something else here too 🔮 🤍 Acasia - 2% BHA toner 10/10! 🥳 Already on jar 2 🤩 After a while of using it, my little bumps on my forehead disappeared and I haven't gotten them back while using this! I have some other toners I'm excited to try in the future 👀 But I always have this one to fall back on when needed! 🙌🏼 #skincare #banilaco #cosrx #anua #acasia4 products in post 🫧✨ Empties skincare edition ✨🫧772 views - The post was made 5 months
Empties
It's been way too long, but I thought it was time for an #empties again. 🫣 Ole Henriksen truth serum - I really like this! A good serum that smells nice. I actually have nothing bad to say about it. Sundae gingerbread - As I previously wrote in the review...it does NOT smell like gingerbread, more like marshmallows....but sweet and nice. I like it even though I don't agree with the scent description. I absolutely LOVE how it is like spray cream - soft fluffy foam that is really lovely in the shower. Sundae coconut cream - Just like with their other shower foam, I love the foam and spray function BUT the scent did not appeal to me at all. Sure, it smells like coconut cream, but my brain is leaning towards thinking that I will soon smell like sour milk... Of course, I don't, but I don't feel comfortable with the scent. Matrix miracle creator - A really lovely leave-in treatment that both my daughter and I have used. Smells good, gives the hair good moisture and nourishment. I will definitely buy more. Marina miracle triple effect eye cream - Comfortable cream that doesn't smell noticeable. Besides moisturizing, I don't notice any difference. It was supposed to be good for dark circles, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. Maria Åkerberg More Royal face oil - Wonderful oil that smells like a spa. Economical and works incredibly well for my dry skin. Dr Ankerstjerne Superfood - A must in the cabinet, the toiletry bag....everywhere. Too bad it costs so much because I can't live without this 🫣 From hating the scent to actually thinking it smells good. Provides good moisture and nourishment for the skin. I'm on my second and there will definitely be more.8 products in the look Empties - The post was made 5 months
My first empties
My first #empties ☺️🤗 I’ve been inspired by Malinadenfina and Cecilia who are so diligent with their empties 😍 1. First up is the Coxir oil cleanser, I love it! This is my first oil cleanser and it won’t be my last! It’s so lovely to massage into the skin and leaves the skin clean, soft, and hydrated. There’s a review on it if you’re curious! 2. Ordinary’s mask, a little favorite too! The pores become blurred and the skin feels so soft! There’s a review on this one too. I’ve already bought another ☺️ 3. Loréal retinol serum, it ran out a while ago and I had it in my toiletry bag because I had started with another one at home. But I needed another for the late evenings when I’ve been swimming and need to fix my skin at the pool. There’s a review on this one too. Really good serum! ☺️ 4. Magnesium, very tasty effervescent tablets that have worked well. I have restless legs that can drive me crazy some evenings. I take strong medication that helps. But the legs are still annoying sometimes. I train a lot and therefore need to replenish with magnesium among other things. This is an easy and tasty way to do it 😋 5. Ashwagandha, I’ve emptied the jar now and can’t say if it has made any difference. Had a bit more energy, but there.kahände8 products in post My first empties - The post was made 5 months
#projectpan 2018 and beyond - old makeup lives on😁
A couple of years ago, I went through all my makeup and dated every single item. It took forever and was super boring😅, but very useful! I love buying makeup and have loads considering I only manage to put on makeup 1-2 times a week due to physical illness👝🛍 I saw how much old stuff I have🙄 and got nervous that it might have gone bad, since most is organic = lacks conventional preservatives, but everything was in perfect condition👌 In my constant attempt to do justice to ALL these products, I now choose every year a few of the oldest to work on😊 Now and then I take pictures of the progress. I can confirm that it goes VERY slowly to completely use something up! Here is probably the oldest item, the lipstick "Parisian Pink" from Lily Lolo (which is now discontinued), a sheer rosy red shade💄 and then comes the multi-stick from Nui Cosmetics in "Pititi" (which is also now discontinued), which on the skin becomes a cool pink. The powder foundation from Pür is bought -22, very new in this context😉 The item that is the slowest to finish is the brown eyeliner from Hourglass just because it is brown = not my color, but I won it, it is incredibly good and fairly neutral in tone so it has some gray/tints. Yes, everything else goes in cool shades as I belong to those who have a lot of cool/blue undertones🧊☺ #projectpan and #empties were started by lovely Malin Malinadenfina here on Social a few years ago! The idea is that we beauty hoarders should try to use what we have, sometimes in completely new ways, instead of constantly throwing away/buying new! It works sometimes😉 #projectpan #empties20251997 views- The comment was made 5 monthsHaha 😂😅! Wonderful, how fun it can be sometimes! 🤗🌸🍓1 likes

#empties april!
Here come my latest beauty trash, #empties2025 april😊 First up are the favorites! There are things I've bought multiple times or can consider buying again. As usual, I’m not listing everything, either from them or from the other categories, because I’ve reviewed most of what’s here on Lyko or I’ve mentioned them several times in my #empties 👌FAVORITES👌 👌When Beauty "The last choice" sheet mask - wonderful for dry skin! NEW for me, but I already want to buy more😄 👌Mixsoon "Soybean Milk pad" - lovely sheet mask divided into 2 rectangular sheets🤔 that didn’t cover the skin surface at all🤥 but were very nourishing! 👌One two free "Eye like it" - eye mask with hyaluronic acid💦 👌Masq+ "EyeQ" - de-puffing eye mask with caffeine☕ 👌"Malibu Blondes" perks up the bleached strands when they start to look old/grown out! 👌Yves Rocher "Mango & Coriander Shower cream" thankfully smells only of mango🥭 and not at all of coriander😄 👌Skinceuticals "C E Ferulic" - the super expensive💸💸💸 and unfortunately very effective C-vitamin serum that I only buy on real sale and only 1 g/year! 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE WON'T BUY AGAIN🤔 🤔Glam "Collagen eye mask" - better ones exist! 🤔Medik8 "C Tetra eye" - eye serum with c-vitamin and cyclic silicones that I don’t want on my skin but used it because I had it (Don’t remember how I got it - as a bonus???)🤥 Softened for the moment, like everything with silicones. 🧴SAMPLES THAT TEMPT TO BUY🧴 🧴Klairs "Rich moist soothing serum" - such a lovely moisturizing serum💦 - had it before and it tempts me again! 🧴Dermosil "Overnight eye mask" - mild, super lovely eye cream for the night! Must be bought! 🧴I'M Naturkosmetik "Deo Creme grapefruit" - very good organic cream deo BUT I don’t like having to dig for deodorants in jars or for that matter, samples😉 I usually do NOT link anything as it tends to make the app crash unfortunately🤪 Thanks, Malin #Malinadenfina for starting #empties here on Lyko Social a few years ago! It’s so useful, even if it’s not always super fun, to try to use up what you already have before buying new, when you’re a beauty hoarder🧼👝🛍 #empties2025 april.917 views- The comment was made 6 monthsThank you, Susann! Here is the eye mask lyko.com/sv/masq/masq--eye-q Dermosil is a Finnish brand for sensitive skin and is only available in their webshop.

#empties2025 March -- liiiite late🙄
Due to unexpected much unhealthiness in March among two- and four-legged friends, I forgot my sticky #empties🧴🧴🧴🤪. Most of what is on Lyko I have reviewed, so I won't list them all. Here they are now: 👌FAVORITES👌 Things I have either bought multiple times or can imagine buying again! 👌Laboratoires Novexpert "Extra-rich repair cream" - a French organic luxury dream during fall and winter for my very dry, thin skin, but hard on the wallet💸☺. Of course, it has now been discontinued in Sweden👎 I wonder what it costs with shipping from France??? 👌Yves Rocher "Pur Bluet The gentle makeup remover" gently removes the last traces of eye makeup with soothing cornflower. 👌Mádara "Time miracle botanic retinol serum 4%" - lovely plant-based retinol alternative! 👌Rituals "Ritual of Ayurveda body oil" - very good body oil, but a bit too heavy scent, unfortunately🤥 so I could only use it on my lower legs, otherwise I got a migraine. 👌Aveeno "Dermexa cream" - very nice on the body for dry winter skin, but I still wonder if Aveeno is cruelty-free or not??? 👌Coola "Dew good illuminating serum spf 30" illuminating organic luxury sunscreen in serum form (= thin liquid) that was nice in winter. I love Coola's sun protection products🌞 We had so many cloudy days here that the tiny tube I got in a box lasted a long time! 👌Beautyjar "Cool eye liquid eye patches" - super good de-puffing eye mask in liquid gel form. A jar lasts forever🤑 👌Korres "Cucumber eye mask" is also a gel mask but with cucumber. Is almost as good as Beautyjar's and also lasts long🤑 👌Purederm "Petal waltz Rose" - eye mask with rose🌹 that is always sold out everywhere👎 👌Klairs "Freshly juiced vitamin E mask" - the multiproduct that suits everything from acne to dry skin👏🏻 👌Rovectin "Lotus sheet mask" - lovely and soothing for my dry, sometimes stressed skin. Of course, it is not available in Sweden😅 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE WON'T BUY AGAIN🤔 🤔Zoya Goes Pretty "Shea butter with rose oil" - organic, vegan waterless balm that I normally love to have as the last step on my face at night, but this one just smelled WAY too much of unrefined shea butter this time, i.e. manure pile🤣 🤔Dr. Levy Pollution shield - To put on after SPF to enhance its effect??? Sounds totally crazy, but I had it around my mouth. Got it in a box. Incomprehensible product that is incomprehensibly expensive💸 🧴SAMPLES THAT TEMPTED/ENTICED TO BUY🧴 🧴I have had the sunscreen several times and have a new one on the way! 🧴Babors eye cream to use at night reduced swelling but didn't quite reach for my dry skin. Still tempting! ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME⛔ ⛔Apolosophy's hyaluronic acid serum - too thick for the pipette and too thick for my taste, otherwise good. ⛔Sephora's own lip mask with vanilla - smelled good, but did zero good and went rancid in 2 months. Right for me, because it suffices with a good lip balm at night😁 I do NOT link the products as the app has gone crazy and deleted the post, I lay the gr I have tried🤬 I don't think it's good for blood pressure🤯😁 April's beauty trash is now in line in all its stickiness! Knock on wood🍀 that our health doesn't scream too much now, then they will also come soon + the makeup trash/#projectpan 😄 #empties2025 March - The post was made 7 months
Empties February-March
Here are my #empties for February and March. Some favorites, some ”meh” and some no thanks 😁 ➕➕➕➕➕ Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant: despite the small packaging, it lasts a long time! It irritates absolutely nothing, but still makes the skin soft and smooth, and leaves a nice skin surface. Mild enough to use daily, I use it maybe 2 times/week. Have already bought a new one 🤩 SkinProud Foam cleanser: has for some inexplicable reason been discontinued from Lyko 💔, so I have to buy it somewhere else when the last from my reserve packaging runs out 😭 Essence 24ever eyeliner: also already bought a new one, recurring purchase because it’s super good 😁 Sweed Cloud mascara: also already bought a new one, and it’s running out any day now so I have another one in stock 😂 Unfortunately a bit too pricey when I compare it to my previous favorite, now number 2, see below: Essence mascara: which also has an extra one in stock here at home 🤪 Great price and gives a top result! Common Clouds night cream: so kind and soothing to the skin. I will buy this again also when the opportunity arises. Tip to Lyko: bring in Common Clouds 😁 Scholl foot scrub: a dream to deal with to avoid those socks that exfoliate for an eternity. This one does the job at least as well! However, it seems to no longer be available at Lyko 🤥 (I see that I managed to tag some of those socks anyway, that is indeed wrong. This is a cream you rub into your feet and then rinse off, and the feet become incredibly soft!) ➕➕➕ Edelweiss eye serum from TBS: very good and economical eye serum, but an eye cream is needed on top for more moisture. I will buy again sometime but not now. By Lyko Dry shampoo: not the best product but I can absolutely see myself using this again in the future. I think my hair feels fresh for a long time, but I would need it in an even darker shade. Ida Warg face toner: has also unfortunately been discontinued from Lyko. Stings a little in the eyes and doesn’t clean completely, but despite that it was still pleasant and smelled good. No repurchase though. ➕ SkinCity serum: nah, this didn’t do much for me to be honest. Sure, it’s kind to the skin but I think there are cheaper and better alternatives out there. Hagi Body balm: too greasy for my skin, an influencer test assignment from some time ago, but it smells heavenly. If it had come as a lotion, I would have bought it, but not as it is now unfortunately. Shower cream from Fiona&Friends: smells okay, incredibly cheap price but unfortunately not bought here. No repurchase.

Empties February & March
So fun to see others' empties so I'm trying to show my own too🥰 This time you can see that it's mostly empty hair products. But hair is actually what I'm best at taking care of and find the most fun (might be because I'm a trained hairdresser💇🏼♀️) I've also tried to use up a bunch of half-full bottles since a bunch of those had accumulated. A buying ban is also a fact🤷🏼♀️ Basically only goodies that I buy again and several products that have been with me for many years. The only makeup product for these empties is an eyebrow pencil from H&M beauty that is really good and affordable. The hair products from Lyko's own brand became really loved, and I will definitely buy them again🩵 #empties - The post was made 7 months
#empties2025 February
Yes, here comes my involuntarily very late #empties2025 for last month😁 Late because the app was acting up the 2 times I tried to upload the post at the beginning of March and deleted EVERYTHING I had written. Not so fun🤯 Due to weak arms and a lot of pain from a physical illness, I couldn't try anymore. Here comes an extremely stripped-down version without text - because soon it will be time for March beauty trash🛍 that is lying here waiting in all its stickiness😉 👌FAVORITES👌 Here there is ONLY stuff that I have bought multiple times or can imagine buying again! What is on Lyko I have reviewed. 🤔OK🤔 Totally okay but might not buy again. - These balms worked better as paw cream for my dog's paw pads🐕 than for my lips! SAMPLES THAT DID NOT TEMPT TO BUY Reason: not enough for my dry skin. ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME⛔ Products I would prefer to never see again😁 #empties2025 February A big THANK YOU to the lovely Malin #Malinadenfina who started both #empties and #projektpan here on Lyko a few years ago! As a beauty hoarder, you ALWAYS have too many products and are CONSTANTLY tempted by new enticing offers🧴🧴🧼💄 but we try with #empties to use what we already have, often in a new way, before we buy new. We sometimes succeed😉😅 - The post was made 8 months
Empties February
Rituals showerfoam sakura collection One of my favorites when I take a shower. The good thing is that you need very little of the product as it becomes much more when the product comes in contact with water. So a large packaging like this lasts a very long time. Rating 5/5 Schwarzkopf Gliss Balsamspray Supreme length My balsam spray that I use when I brush my hair. I couldn't brush my hair without this product as I have curly hair. Plus, I also have hair that easily gets tangled, especially when I've slept. Rating 5/5 Maybelline New York Lifter gloss - Bubble gum One of my favorites when it comes to lip gloss. I hadn't tried this before I bought it. I don't regret a second that I bought this. I've even bought a new one in the same color but also another that is red.

Empties January-25
After a break last year, I thought I’d jump back into #empties again. Good way to get my butt in gear and finish up products 😂 ✅ Lumene Hydra serum - fantastic in every way. Smells just right, easy dosing, melts quickly into the skin and doesn’t cost a fortune ❤️ Will definitely repurchase if needed! ✅ Eyeshadow primer from Barry M - the ABSOLUTE best primer for me. Creases nothing, despite hooded eyes. Buy over and over again ❤️ ✅ Shampoo and conditioner from By Lyko - smells heavenly, but too light for my hair in winter. Will repurchase come spring when the air isn’t so dry 😍 ✅ Deo from LdB - recurring deodorant and is basically the only one I think works for me. Already have a new one in the bathroom cabinet. ❓ Body Lotion from Hagi - got it as an influencer test assignment, and I love the scent and consistency, but not the price 😅 I’ll probably buy it again if there’s a good promotion though 🥰 Yes, a short list for January, but I’ll keep fighting through February so it might get a bit longer 🤓 Hugs! //Sofie5 products in post Empties January-252170 views- The comment was made 8 monthsI really like LdB's deodorants too! They are super! 💕1 likes

#empties2025 January 🧼🧴
Liiite less #empties than usual for me this time, but still a lot that ran out! Among the favorites are only things that I have bought multiple times or can imagine buying again🙂 Most of it I have reviewed if it’s here on Lyko😊 Here are some of them: 👌FAVORITES👌 👌Dr. Ceuracle "Vegan kombucha coffee bean scrub" - lovely body scrub with coffee scent. 👌Grow Gorgeous "Intense hair serum" - Mildly scented hair serum to stimulate hair that has started to thin. 👌By Wishtrend "Hydra enriched ampoule" - lovely moisturizing serum. 👌Ann-Marie Börlind "3-in-1 facial oil" - delightful facial oil with protection against blue light. 👌Bareminerals "Phyto Retinol lip mask" - lip mask with bakuchiol that lasted exactly one year, so even though it was super expensive to buy, it wasn’t expensive in the long run (only a beauty hoarder can reason like this😉). And finally, a really good, pear-split-scented gel cream that I still WILL NOT buy again since the brand unfortunately tests on animals👎: ✖Some By Mi "Beta panthenol repair cream" (got it in an imported advent calendar). 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE WON'T BUY AGAIN🤔 🤔Petitfee "Agave cooling eye mask" - fit perfectly but unfortunately didn’t give inner good effect. 😧PRODUCTS THAT DON’T TEMPT TO BUY😧: 😧Is Clinical: "Youth eye complex" - eye cream that didn’t provide enough nourishment for my dry eye skin but reduced swelling okay. 😧Mary & May: "Tranexamic acid eye cream" - eye cream that irritated and caused swollen eyelids🤥 ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME⛔ ⛔Dermosil: "Nail & Cuticle peeling" cuticle peeling that was way too oily for my taste so that it couldn’t be washed off the peeling grains. - The first product I dislike from Finnish Dermosil, which has very good products for sensitive skin at good prices👍 Everything is also made in Finland or the Nordics, a lot is vegan, a lot is unscented, and nothing is tested on animals🐇🐀🐒🐶👏🏻 - So let’s fight, beauty hoarders, for another year with our stashes of products 🛍🧴🧴 🧼👝 that will become #empties. Hopefully, we will learn SOMEDAY to use up what we already have before we impulsively buy new😉, which is the whole idea of this project. Big thanks to Malin Malinadenfina who started it and #projectpan here on Social🙏💜 #empties2025 January - The post was made 9 months
#empties2024 nov-dec MAKEUP💄& #projectpan 2024
Here is the makeup I managed to use up during November and December 2024😊 Unfortunately, I didn't manage to use up everything I had hoped for as the products are super long-lasting. It's actually good🤑 but not when you have too much, it's several years old and you have much more in stock🙄😉💄🛍 Tip for you if you want to save money on lipstick/don't want it to run out: start using a lip brush! It takes less lipstick per application compared to applying it directly on the lips, it's also more hygienic since you hopefully wash the brush sometimes, you get a more detailed application, and finally, you can use EVERYTHING in the tube👍🤑 Often there is 1-2 cm of product below the edge! 💄Jane Iredale "Pure pressed base foundation" in "Light Beige" = the absolute lightest and coolest of the shades! I will buy a refill when I run out of the 2 mineral foundations I have👍 Not reviewed it as the shade is not available here. 💄Lumene Nordic Chic "Extreme Curl and Impressive length mascara" gave ENORMOUS length. Best mascara I've ever had, but unfortunately discontinued a while ago (mine is from the Stone Age😁). I didn't manage to review it before it was discontinued unfortunately🤥 💄Florence by Mills "Brow Cloud wax" - quite a pointless brow wax that also broke almost immediately🤨👎💸 I have reviewed it! 💄100% Pure "Fruit Pigmented Lip Glaze in the shade "Peach Bellini". I dug out the tube with a lip brush to not cheat, and it took a total of 3 months = could use it a couple hundred more times🤑 Not available in the US. 💄Lily Lolo Lipgloss "English Rose". I have reviewed it. The shade is still available on Lyko. 💄Lily Lolo Lipgloss "Bitten Pink". I have reviewed it. The shade is still available but unfortunately not on Lyko👎 Now I'm going to check which makeup MUST run out in 2025☺ Thanks again to Malin/Malinadenfina here on Lyko Social who started both projects here so that we beauty hoarders could be inspired to use what we have instead of always buying new. We do that anyway, but we also manage to use up more than before💄👏🏻 #projectpan #empties2024 #empties #Malinadenfina2 products in post #empties2024 nov-dec MAKEUP💄& #projectpan 2024
