#empties2025 December - big haul🧴🛍️🧴😁
The last beauty trash of the year was so many - and sticky - that they had to sit for a bit😉 👌FAVORITES👌 As usual, everyone is visible in the photo, but I’ll only mention a few - otherwise it gets too many☺️ 👌 Kocostar Leg Relax therapy - the lovely, cooling🧊 leg mask that also relieves pain for me👍 👌Missha Pearl sheet mask gives radiance and nourishment to dry, dull skin. 👌Anita Gran is Camellia kissi oil - the best all-round oil! Unfortunately, the brand - British, organic, and vegan - has now closed down👎 👎L300 Cleansing milk - super nice unperfumed cleansing milk in a giant tube🤑 👌Sandawha Camellia oil serum - absolutely superb and I was going to buy it again, but then it was NATURALLY discontinued🤥 👌Marina Miracle Amaranth night serum - lightly peeling organic oil serum that I’ve bought many of! 👌Dr. Ceuracle Vegan kombucha tea essence - very nice but too expensive💸🥺 so it’s better when it comes in a box! 👌Versed Skin sosk rich moisture cream - unperfumed, creamy, and cozy face cream that has been out of stock for over a year👎 👎Klairs Gentle black fresh cleansing oil - I don’t really like cleansing oils because I always spill it (grease stains😬 - I prefer cleansing balm) but this one was good. 👌Yves Rocher Raspberry & Pepparmint Bath & shower cream thankfully only smelled of raspberries, not Pepparmint☺️ 👌Essence On-a-roll apricot cuticle oil - superb packaging, ok oil but better ones exist. 👌Zoya goes pretty Shes butter with Argan oil - such a lovely waterless balm to have on the face etc. as protection against cold weather😊 👌Uretekram Body lotion Soft Wild Rose - so soft, lovely rose scent🌹 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE NOT BUY AGAIN🤔 🤔Sans Soucis Kissed by a rose Rose water - unperfumed facial water with roses. The best part is the name🌹☺️ 🤔Novexpert The repulp cream - my last cream from the wonderful French eco-luxury brand that has stopped being sold in Sweden👎 🤔Purito Pure vitamin C serum is good but comes in a too large bottle, and considering the short shelf life, it’s not as economical as it first seems💸🤥 Mine lasted over half a year🙄 🤔Kneipp Creme-oil-peeling - very good and effective but so terribly oily that I slipped several times in the shower 🤔Oh K! Shine bright silver foil under eyes mask was beautiful but not much more! 🤔Astrid Glow Expert 4D eye pads - nice, sweet🩷 but not much more! 🧴SAMPLES THAT (DON'T) TEMPT TO BUY🧴 🧴Dr. Ceuracle Scalp Dx scaling shampoo smells so good in this sample + is good for the scalp, but unfortunately they changed the formula so you get something else worse when you buy the bottle👎 🧴Korika Hydrolyzed collagen serum - pointless oil serum. 🧴I’m from "Ginseng serum" - super nice and I’ve already bought a bottle👍☺️ ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME ⛔ ⛔Beauty Act 5% niacinamide serum - never ran out...my skin doesn’t particularly like niacinamide, but now I’m finally rid of this giant bottle! ⛔Eye masks from Pixi and Florence by Mills were way too expensive to be so ineffective👎 That was last year's last load with #empties and it was unusually large😊 January will probably be large too...but it will be nice to finish off many almost empty bottles and then open new ones - the whole idea with #empties 😁 #empties2025 December - The post was made 1 week
#projectpan 2026 - the makeup that never runs out💄😄
This year I have chosen roughly the same products as last year because I really want to use them up! I have removed some that I don't want to work on right now and added a couple of new ones😊 I will probably be doing makeup about 2 times/week now - I rarely have the energy to do it more often due to the physical illness I have that causes, among other things, weak muscles - except for the lips, which are painted every day💄😊 +😍 Of course also powder on top of foundation, which I only have on my neck and décolleté every day, mostly because I want to avoid seeing the pigment spots (and want to use up the powder)😁 In the first picture, the crossed-out products are finally finished! 💄 The oldest products here are both from the German eco-brand Nui Cosmetics: a cream blush in a muted but very pigmented medium pink shade "Pititi" and a 💄discreet highlighter that gives a natural result in the shade "Hukarere". It is actually a cream eyeshadow that doesn't show up on my light skin, so I transformed it into a highlighter✨ 💄Benecos Natural eyeliner in "Grey" is something incredibly long-lasting🤑 but not waterproof, so it doesn't get used every time, but always together with 💄Isadora Perfect contour kajal waterproof #39 "Deep Grey". This one, however, is extremely waterproof, dark gray, and the only eye product I will miss! I had about 5 from the beginning, this is the last one (it is no longer made in this version). 💄Hourglass Voyeur waterproof gel eyeliner in neutral dark brown "Cave" is super nice and waterproof. Brown is NOT my color, so I have probably used it a maximum of 5 times in 2025🙄😅 Luxurious brand and nice product, so I don't want to throw it away (I won it a few years ago) stingy as I am in the middle of wasting🤑💸💸💸😉 💄Hynt Beauty Finale finishing powder in "Translucent Pearl" is organic, silky, and very good. It never runs out because it 1) is a huge jar and 2) I mostly have powder on the eye area to set everything. Now I have just started using it on top of foundation on my neck and décolleté (to avoid stains on my clothes). Let's see if it can speed it up a bit☺️ 💄100% Pure Fruit pigmented lip glaze in "Rose petal" is a super pretty, glossy lipstick from the American luxury brand 100% pure in a lovely cool dark rose shade🌹 I feel like I have so much makeup when I look through everything🙄, but it's so nice to get rid of some of the oldest products every year, preferably before they go bad🤥😄 I'm probably working on about 20 more things besides these in the picture, but I don't want to tempt fate and take too much with me, because then I immediately lose the desire to use them🤪 THANK YOU Malin, Malinadenfina, who started #empties and #projectpan here at Lyko a few years ago and continues to inspire us beauty hoarders to work with what we have and not always (but too often😉) buy new💜 #projectpan - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

December empties❄️
Hair🌸 As usual, my staple product Gliss Total Repair Balsamspray with heat protection. Also a hair mask from the Schwarzkopf Gliss series. A good budget option. Did you know that you should apply the mask before the conditioner? Quite new information for me. I also tried a dry shampoo from Monday. Does what it’s supposed to do at a very good price🌸 Body🌸 In winter, I need a richer body lotion. ACO's body lotion rich fits very well. Superb body cream with a mild scent. A little disappointment was the Origins Softening hand and body lotion. Provides zero moisture and doesn’t smell good at all😓 Skincare🌸 I always have a tube of ACO balancing face cream on the shelf. Moisturizing and repairing completely without perfume. Top-notch! I also used up ACO Bright Booster. Nice serum, but I think that 10% niacinamide is unnecessarily high. Max 5% is enough🌸 Makeup🌸 One of my favorite foundations ran out in December. Lumene Natural Glow Fluid Foundation. Also, my Idun tubing mascara ran out this month. Of course, a new one is on the way. If you haven’t tried these two gems, then run and buy💓 #empties9 products in post December empties❄️ - The post was made 2 weeks
Empties
Happy New Year everyone! Here are my #empties for November and December: Picture 1: ✅ Cerave Moisturising Lotion Used by both me and my son. Nice moisture for spring and summer, but I prefer something richer in fall/winter. ❌ Cerave foaming cleanser Good cleanser, but a bit too drying for my skin. Hydrating cleanser is better for me ✅ Cosmica glow booster. A mild and moisturizing C-vitamin serum. Gives a nice glow and suits sensitive skin. Love 💗 ✅ Cosmica renewing face Oil. A big favorite. Gives the skin nourishment, glow, and comfort. I buy this again and again 💗 ➖ Topz cleansing Oil. A perfectly fine oil cleanser, but I have other favorites. Will not repurchase. ✅ The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% My favorite niacinamide. Have bought it many times and will continue to do so. ✅ Drmtlgy Pumpkin enzyme mask Gives fresher and more even skin. Effective, but also gentle. Very satisfied. Bought in the USA. ✅ Drmtlgy microdermabrasion scrub Gives noticeably smoother skin. Used about 1x per week, often in connection with LED light. Love it. Bought in the USA. Picture 2: ✅ Piz Buin sunscreen spf 50+ A recurring favorite over many years. Reliable and very good. ➖ Elvital Hyaluron plump shampoo Fit my fine, Scandinavian hair quite well, but I have other favorites. ✅ Vaseline Healthy Hands & Stronger Nails Love these, hence both small and large. Absorbs quickly, not sticky, and smells good. ➖ Loreal men expert hydra energetic cleanser Have used many of these in the morning and they have always worked perfectly. Suddenly reacted to it, so no more of this for the time being. ✅ Camilla Pihl Primer sheet mask Absolutely great before makeup. Gives smooth skin and the makeup sits flawlessly ✨ Picture 3: ✅ Family fresh aloe Care shower cream Mild, good, and moisturizing. The whole family likes this. Love the shower gels from this brand ✅ Palmolive Provence dream Love the scent. Affordable. Absolutely repurchase. ✅ Palmolive sweet honey Smells good, good consistency, and does what it should. ✅ Asan intimate wash cranberry. Does what it should. ✅ Care by Therese Johaug Fresh deo Has become one of my regular deodorants and even my husband loves this. Smells clean and does its job. Absolutely repurchase9 products in post Empties - The post was made 1 month
#empties2025 november
Here I have finally tackled this year's second to last load with #empties i.e. beauty products that have run out, often after real effort on my part as it is tempting to just throw it away, but I don't like😉 👌FAVORITES👌 HERE IS A PART OF WHAT I BUY/BOUGHT🥰 THE REST IS VISIBLE IN THE PHOTO! 👌Mitomo Royal jelly + cherry blossom essence mask - lovely for dry, mature skin that sometimes acts up. Smells wonderful🌸 👌Schmidt's Charcoal & Magnesium natural deodorant must be the world's best eco-deodorant for us heavy sweaters, and that's why it has been discontinued🤬 I can still find it, but not in the US. 👌REN Skincare Brightening dark circle Eye Cream was the salvation for my dark circles under my eyes in the summer with its pure brightening ingredients. Of course, the whole brand is going bankrupt because of that👎 👌Q+A Exfoliating body scrub - cheap, super good, and mildly fragrant body scrub to fend off the bumps on the back of the arms also known as Keratosis Pilaris! 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE NOT BUYING AGAIN🤔 🤔 Sephora's eye mask for dark circles smelled okay unlike the one with (rotten?) cucumber I had last month😀 Had no real effect though, but sometimes you have to be grateful for the little things😉 🤔Beauty formula reviving gold eye gels patches have the world's longest name, felt nice but had questionable effect😃 🤔Mádara Lip rescue balm was the balm that didn't work for my lips but was an okay paw salve for the dog🦮 🤔Benton Air fit UV Defense sun cream spf 50. Good but didn't like the menthol-like scent👃 🤔REN Skincare Evercalm barrier support elixir was a highly mediocre oil serum. 🧴SAMPLES THAT DON'T TEMPT TO BUY🧴 🧴 Bath & Body Works body cream Perfect in pink was nice but so strong that it smelled all day even though I only applied it to my lower legs. Got 2 days of headaches from two uses👎 ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME⛔ ⛔Staywell's new eye masks with vitamin C, collagen, and hyaluronic acid were strongly perfumed, chafed due to the thickness, and had zero effect💸👎 November is long over and December's sticky trash is now piling up - here come a bunch of leftovers that I finally managed to use up🧴🧴🧴😀 even if not always as intended - but that's the basic idea with #empties - use up what you've bought, maybe in a new way, instead of immediately buying new. We can do that as a reward when we've, for example, gotten through a half-hearted cream😀😉 Thanks to Malin Malinadenfina who started this on Lyko social💜 #empties2025 november - The user's roll: Ambassador.

November empties❄️
Here come my empties from November🌸 ✅Family Fresh So Soft Shower Cream A really good budget favorite. The whole family uses it. Smells good and cleans without drying out💓 ⛔️Kerastase 8H Magic Night Serum An old favorite from before that no longer has any effect on my hair😢 Could be due to reformulation and that my hair has changed over the years. Huge disappointment considering the price🫤 ✅By Lyko On The Glow Setting Spray A good setting spray considering the price. Does not dry out and keeps the makeup reasonably well in place. Gives a nice glow. Have bought it several times💓 ✅ACO glow booster A nice moisturizing serum with 2% vitamin C. Very good for beginners and sensitive skin. Love💓 ✅ACO Hydrating Booster A moisturizing serum with hyaluronic acid. Affordable and good💓 ⛔️Got2b Eyebrow Gel This will not be a repurchase. Does not hold the brows in place and it becomes like “white flakes” when it dries🫤 ⛔️Lumene Serum In Concealer These in the shades light and medium I have not been able to use at all. So they are going in the trash without being empty. They dry down and flake on the skin. So it looks like you have dry patches on your face. Has not worked at all with any skincare or foundations. Cannot be due to product error, as I have bought these two at different times and in different stores😓 #empties6 products in post November empties❄️526 views - The post was made 1 month
#empties2025 October 🍂🌞
Here come October's sticky beauty treasures😀 👌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 though). 💗 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 nice, lightweight facial cream for the T-zone in late summer😙 💗Depend Supersnabb nail polish remover - the best!💗 💗Ole Henriksen Strength peptide boost moisturizer - lovely👏 💗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 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 cucumber🤢😅👎 ⛔Bondi Sands Eye Spy brightening Eye Cream separated despite being new, did NOT brighten and contains like onion on salmon several silicones that never provide anything other 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 constantly want to open something new, not to mention buying new🥺 which the #empties project aims to stop😊 There will probably be more beauty treasures 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 October58 views- The comment was made 1 monthMalinadenfina There will probably come a time in life when you have more energy for this, Malin, but I understand that it’s not now, and that’s perfectly natural😚 Many hugs🥰1 likes

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🍂635 views- The comment was made 2 monthsMicellar 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 Empties164 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

#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 3 months
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 August188 views- The comment was made 3 monthsThank 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: Ambassador.

#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💖 #projectpan512 views- The comment was made 5 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 #malinadenfina549 views- The comment was made 6 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) #empties638 views- The comment was made 6 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 May201 views- The comment was made 7 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 ✨🫧913 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

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 Empties1731 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 7 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
