I'm in the midst of a few transitions right now, so my empties posting schedule will be a bit wonky for a while. I just got back from my honeymoon and I didn't feel like separating things out based on month. So the first photo will be honeymoon-specific empties (didn't want to take my trash home this time) and the second will be things finished at home. I'm glad I was able to clear so much out!
~ Laura Mercier pressed setting powder - did not survive the flight. I loved this as my undereye setting powder and will hopefully repurchase at some point (too many powders right now).
~ Algenist Genius Vitamin C serum foil sample - I liked this, but couldn't really tell a difference with this size of sample.
~ Replica Beach Walk Sephora sample - love this perfume. On me it smells like honeysuckle and coconuts. But one of my Youtubers called it "Grandmas on the Boardwalk" so I'd recommend getting a sample first.
~ Hourglass "Peacemaker" lipstick DS - This was a nice my lips but better color. Wore like a balm, and easy to reapply. I brought it to my wedding for touch ups.
And now for the rest! My husband's watch, headphones, etc also made it into the picture - I did not use those up.
~ Ole Henriksen truth serum - purchased from TJ Maxx, so I'm not sure how effective this one was. I might buy another new one, but I'm not sure yet.
~ Purity pore extractor mask foil sample - decent exfoliant. I have a DS too, so I'll give more detailed thoughts after that.
~ Purity cleanser foil sample - good basic cleanser, makes me feel clean but not tight. Might purchase one of these days but I keep getting distracted.
~ Fresh cleanser DS - good sensitive skin cleanser that I brought on trips so both of us could use it. I'll keep using samples, but wouldn't purchase. Mostly because there are so many samples out there.
~ GlamGlow supercleanse - I hated this packaging. It wouldn't come out of the pump so I had to remove the top and pump it out the middle - not fun. Would not purchase.
~ GlamGlow galacticleanse foil sample - glittery cleanser that wasn't bad. Wouldn't purchase.
~ Youth to the People Kale cleanser foil sample - decent cleanser, but full size is a glass bottle (DS previously dropped in shower). Would not purchase since I'm clumsy.
~ Herbivore blue tansy mask DS - This had a kind of fruity scent, but I'm not sure what it was supposed to do and if I saw results. Would not repurchase.
~ AmorePacific cushion sunscreen - Interesting concept, but I don't think it enabled me to apply enough sunscreen for adequate protection. Probably wouldn't purchase.
~ Neogen Dermatology sunscreen - light sunscreen that felt nice on the skin. Might repurchase.
~ AmorePacific future response age defense serum DS - this made my skin feel really soft as a night serum. But this brand is super expensive, so probably wouldn't repurchase at this point.
~ Murad invisiblur perfecting shield - used as both sunscreen and blurring primer. Decent for both. Might repurchase.
~ Clinique all about eyes cream - great day or night eye cream for providing light moisture. Will probably repurchase at some point.
~ ABH clear brow gel travel size - Good hold, but doesn't look crunchy. Might repurchase when I finish my current gel.
~ Sephora Collection lipliner "rose wine" - a bit of a dark color for spring, and felt more like a lipstick than a liner. Probably wouldn't repurchase.
~ Glossier priming moisturizer - nice and light, didn't react with makeup. Might repurchase.
~ Korres wild rose smoothie moisturizer - meh, it was fine. Wouldn't repurchase.
~ Ren flash hydro-boost instant plumping emulsion - this was supposed to be used as a pre-moisturizer. I think it helped add moisture? But I don't really have a need for super-hydration so it wasn't necessary for me. Wouldn't repurchase.
~ Gucci Bloom sample - lovely floral scent. Probably would not purchase, happy to get samples.
~ J'Adore Dior sample - Just FYI, all of these Dior samples came in opaque sprayers, probably to hide the fact that they had very little product in them. Hence why I could use up so many. This was a light floral scent that was just okay to me. Would not purchase.
~ Miss Dior absolutely blooming sample - Heavier floral. Would not purchase.
~ Stella Peony sample - warm floral. Would use another sample, probably wouldn't purchase.
~ Dior Poison Girl sample - also warm floral. Might use another sample.
~ Mugler Angel Muse sample - to be honest, this didn't make an impression on me and I can't remember anything about it.
~ another Replica Beach Walk - talked about it above
~ Briogeo Rosarco Milk DS - This leave-in conditioner made my hair feel really soft without feeling greasy after washing. Have already repurchased the full size.
~ Suave Keratin infusion dry shampoo - Meh. This was more of a volumizing rather than a cleaning dry shampoo. Sent by Influenster when I still used it. Would not repurchase.
~ Algenist Genius Vitamin C serum foil sample - I liked this, but couldn't really tell a difference with this size of sample.
