    #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 May

    #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.

    #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😉😅

    #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 #Malinadenfina

      Hanna Yes, I can really recommend it! I was looking for the right shade on their American website where it says if they are warm or cool.
