February 2023 Empties 月底空瓶

Finished a couple sunscreens this past month.   以下是我2月清空的护肤品.

 

Innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen - Love the creamy texture and would repurchase, but I do wish it had higher spf.

Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Sunscreen - Would never repurchase. because it leaves white cast and doesn't spread evenly.

January 2023 Empties 月底空瓶

Sorry for the belated post! Life got busy :(

Below are my emptied skincare products from January 2023! 以下是我1月清空的护肤品!

OLEHENRIKSEN Invigorating Night Transformation Gel - Really helped to smooth out my skin bumps. I would repurchase!

Dr. Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass Cream - Thick, but moisturizing. Would recommend for cold and dry weather.

Vichy Capital Soleil Dry Touch Anti-Shine spf 50 -  Thick and dries matte, so I didn't enjoy using it.


 

Kitao Matcha & Chia Essence Lotion - Absorbed easily into my skin and made my skin pump and bouncy.  I would repurchase!

PrettySkin Vitamin C Ampoule - Fragrance free and soaked easily into skin in the mornings.
 
Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Probio Ampoule - I like that it had no scent and I could see results within 2 weeks. So if I find it on sale I would repurchase.

End of Year Empties 空瓶

I can't believe 2022 is over! 以下是我年底清空的护肤品! Below's what I finished using towards the end of this personally crazy year:


Korres Wild Rose Vitamin C 24 Hour Moisturizer - Rose scent too strong, and broke me out, so I had to use the rest on my body. I do not recommend.
 
Dr Jart's Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Calming Gel Cream - I got to try this for free, because my sister handed it down to me when she moved to Tokyo. This face lotion is moisturizing and didn't feel sticky, so I do recommend and would use it again.
 
The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA Surface Hydration - I didn't like the texture of this moisturizer, so I ended up using it as hand cream Lol
 
AmorePacific Vintage Single Extract Essence (Not pictured) - Great results, but expensive, so if I find it on sale again I would repurchase.
 

Thayer's Facial Toner Lavender - One of my fave toners. Would purchase again if on sale. 
 
Innisfree Dewy Glow Jelly Cream -  Smell nice, and absorbs quickly. This was a sample size, and I liked it enough so I purchased the regular size when it was on sale to use in 2024 haha

August Empties 空瓶

Below are my emptied skincare products from August 2022! 以下是我8月清空的护肤品!

Sekkisei Emulsion 2.3 oz - lightweight moisturizer that's perfect for summer/humid weather, would repurchase if on-sale again.


Innisfree Jeju Pomegranate Revitalizing Serum - liked it, but wouldn't repurchase unless it was on sale again

Pro Strength Hydrabalance Brightening Moisture Infusion - unlikely to repurchase because I didn't love the texture and it pilled sometimes

Exuviance Bright Eyes Eye Cream - my dark circles didn't get lighter, so I wouldn't repurchase

Cocokind Oat to Milk Cleanser - fine as a second cleanser, but I didn't like the strong scent or texture so I wouldn't repurchase

May Empties 空瓶

Below are my emptied skincare products from May 2022! 以下是我5月清空的护肤品!

Supergoop! Play Everyday Lotion Spf 50 - Applied easily. No white cast. I would repurchase.

Shiseido Revitalizing Treatment Softener - Effects difficult to see. And I didn't like the dispenser. Won't repurchase.

 

Exuviance Sheer Refining Fluid Spf 40 - Applied easily and was lightweight. Would only repurchase if on sale, because $50-62 is not budget friendly!

Cosme Nippon Sheet Mask - I wouldn't repurchase, even though the formula was hydrating, because the mask was too small for my face. For example, the eye holes of this mask touched the corners of my eyes!

December Empties 空瓶

😀 HAPPY 2022 to you and your fam!

Below are my emptied skincare products from December 2021! 以下是我12 月清空的护肤品!

雅漾/Avene Eau Thermale Spring Water- Works wells, and likely to repurchase at a later time, because I have other facial mists to use.

Sundari Neem Night Cream (gifted by my cousin's wife) - Unlikely to ever repurchase, because it's hard to find in stores, and I want to try other creams.

Missha Time Revolution First Treatment Essence Intensive Moist (found at my local Target) - Excellent product, but difficult to purchase online due to changing formula, packaging, and unreliable sellers.

雪肌精/Sekkisei Emulsion (purchased at local Costco) - Smells good and provides great hydration. I already opened another bottle!

Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off (since I bought this the packaging has changed!) - OG physical exfoliator. Smells refreshing and works for my combination skin.

资生堂/Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip Travel Size (won from spinning a wheel in Hongdae, Seoul!) - This popular and inexpensive Japanese foaming cleanser is strong and may be stripping for those with dry skin. I have other cleansers I like more, so I'm unlikely to purchase.

Origins Mega-Mushroom Treatment Lotion - Used up this travel size to avoid product expiring. Works well as a toner and essence, but unlikely to repurchase because the bottle's opening causes spillage.

Bath & Body Works Body Cream (gifted by a friend last Christmas) - Smelled great, and did the job, but I want to try body oils.

Life Hack: Cut plastic squeeze bottles in 1/2 to get out any remaining product!

Eve Lom Radiance Face Mist (wouldn't rebuy) - not a fine mist spray

Below are my emptied skincare products from the month of June!

Mist and Toner are the only products I would consider re-purchasing.

January 2021 Skincare Empties 空瓶

My skincare empties aka 空瓶 from January 2021!

Most of these are Asian skincare products I bought in 2019 when I last traveled abroad 😅 These products took me a year to use, since a little goes a long way and I don't regularly exfoliate 😁

*Not shown are various sheet masks.

May Empties

What I used up in May:

After giving the Etude House Wonder Pore to my sister. I inherited and finished her Elizabeth Arden Hydra-Splash Alcohol-Free Toner

 I also finished the sample of Biossance Revitalizer.  I'll post an updated on my current skincare later, since I'm using a new toner and serum.

Not too late for last month's empties right?  


I finished the Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2, Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer, and a Colgate toothpaste.
