#empties2025 MAKEUP💄💅
I managed to finish a whole lot of makeup from January to April and feel so satisfied! I can't wear makeup more than max 1-2 times/week due to a physical illness that gives me very weak arms and legs, so this result feels especially good☺ I almost always have brow gel, lipstick💄 or lip gloss and perfume to perk myself up😉, so those items run out more often. A lot of it is organic and can no longer be purchased in Sweden. IMAGE NO 1: things that are really completely finished, or I have used most of it before it got too old and started behaving strangely/giving reactions: 1) Lumene Serum in concealer - "Light" - provides a lot of moisture and light coverage. The tube broke after 2 years, but I have another one in stock (of course)😄 2) Demosil Ideal BB-cream - "Light" - super nice for my dry skin. Unfortunately about 2 shades too dark and too yellow/warm👎 3) Back to Earth Mineral foundation "N-Light" - Swedish, very nice mineral foundation in the lightest shade. I would have bought it if I didn't already have 2 others I need to finish! 4) Isadora "Build-up mascara extra volume - Navy Blue: waterproof, dark cool blue mascara. Very pretty! 5) Idun "Magna mascara Instant volume, definition, care". Mine is from the Stone Age, hence the old packaging (which in my eyes was much prettier than what they switched to). Very good! 6) Essence Brow gel - taken from the 2023 advent calendar, it was quite okay and much better than many other more expensive👍 7) Essence Luminous eye tint - "Gleaming Charm". Super pretty, easy-to-handle cream eyeshadow! Officially lasts 6 months, I used mine for 1 1/2 years before it started to separate on the eyelid! 8) Lily Lolo Pressed eyeshadow - "Peekaboo" is the prettiest, best petal pink, cool shade there is! Is my third one I'm finishing😊 Unfortunately, Lyko has now stopped carrying it, so I will buy it directly from Lily Lolo's British webshop going forward. 9) 100% Pure light cool pink cream blush with fruit pigments "Shimmery Strawberry". Is probably 6 years old, officially lasts 6 months, and the tiny little bit that is left still smells wonderful🍓 10) Ere Perez Mango lip honey - "Crush" Super pretty, dark pink lip gloss👄 with a rich honey consistency☺ 11) No 7 "Line correcting booster serum" - ancient silicone-filled cream (from an advent calendar) I had around my lips before lipstick (made no difference🙄😁). 12) Essie Base coat "Get it Bright" - light whitening base coat with lemon juice🍋 Very good for yellowed toenails! 13) 100 Bon Eau de parfum "Bergamot & Rose" - SO good organic perfume😍 that I want to buy again (when I finish some other, not as good😉). 14) Aimée de Mars "Belle Aphrodite" is a completely lovely organic perfume that I now have in full size👍 15) Aimée de Mars "Divine Isis" organic perfume I DID NOT like (but it was long-lasting😄). IMAGE NO 2: Things I have used for many years before they got too old/I got tired of them, or things I tried to use a few times but couldn't tolerate or fit in. 1) Lily Lolo Pressed eyeshadow "Starry eyed" is yellower than in the picture, quite dry (and has broken after at least one fall😔). Was never really my color! 2) Lily Lolo Pressed Blush "Coming up Roses" - very nice quality but a bit too dark and too warm in shade🤥 3) Lily Lolo lip pencil - "True Pink" - very pretty cool pink but is now a bit too old. 4) Isadora Waterproof eyeliner in super pretty cool dark purple. Unfortunately dried out very quickly even though it is a sharpenable pencil🤥 5) Santée Naturkosmetik Eyeshadow stick "02" = light silver gray. Dried out. 6) Dermosil Colour changing lip oil - color-adapting lip oil that to my horror turned neon pink🤢 on my red lips😝 7) Dermosil Lipgloss "Stunning" - barely shows on me but was a bit too warm in shade. Also tastes like porridge🤢😅 8) Bareminerals Gen Nude lipgloss "Orchid-ing around" - pretty but a bit too light a shade for me + my lips got slightly irritated by the ingredients👎 That was all🛍😁 Feels good to, as a beauty hoarder, (try to) finish old stuff (sometimes)! #empties2025 MAKEUPTranslated from swedish

#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.Translated from swedish

#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 MarchTranslated from swedish

#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😉😅

#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 JanuaryTranslated from swedish
