Saturday Empties Extravaganza 10/10/15 – With Anna A Wonderful Reader!

Ladies, as we know I am awful at keeping my empties or even getting to the bottom of any product. I will work on it. I have loves this series because for some reason seeing even other peoples empties gives me hope and a lot of great information!

Today we can thank Anna, who wrote in with her empties!

Top Row:
Rene Furterer Okara shampoo: this is for color-treated hair and recommended by my colorist. I have bought this several times in full size and will continue to do so, but I am ambivalent about it. I am too scared to branch out to other shampoos and risk losing my color faster.
Erno Lazlo Lumininous Intensive Cream: this was a perfectly fine moisturizer. Not memorable enough to purchase.
La Mer Lifting Contour Serum: didn’t see a difference in my skin.
Middle Row (foils):
Sisleya Essential Skin Care Lotion: (4) this is an expensive French skin care’s line version of an “essence” popular in Korean skin care. It feels slightly sticky on the skin. I like it as the first step in my skin care (my skin looks slightly more firm) and I purchased the full size. I want to look into the different Korean essences though to find a more price-friendly and potent option.
Bottom Row (foils):
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer: I used to use this all the time! I like it but don’t love it. I’m still looking for that perfect lightweight foundation.
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil: This was incredible at melting away all of my makeup, including eye makeup. I followed it with a foaming cleanser and my skin was super clean. I have a few more cleansing oil samples to try and if they don’t match up to this one, I will purchase the full size.
Radical Skincare Anti-aging Restorative Moisture Creme: again, not memorable enough to purchase.

 

Anna, thanks for writing in with your empties you did such an AWESOME job writing this!

 

I have a full sized DHC Deep Cleansing Oil and 100% love it. It lasts me forever! I might need to try that shampoo!!!

 

 

 

Anyone else get to finish a sample and wanna give us an opinion? You can email you empties pics and commentary to me at: Subscriptionista@gmail.com

Also, feel free to share about your empties below and give me some hope of ever finishing a product!!!

    Great empties Anna!
    I too love the DHC cleansing oil – I got the full size from BeautyFix back in… April maybe? As far as an essence, I’ve been using Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence. I bought it off Amazon and it was recommended by Sarah from Bits & Boxes – I really like it!

      Thanks for the recommendation! We could all use some snail mucin and bee venom on our skin, right?

      Ok, you and Subscriptionista convinced me that DHC Cleansing Oil is the way to go!

    Thank you so much Subscriptionista! (This is Anna – I fancy myself as a kick-ass Greek Goddess, but forgot to mention that when I emailed my empties). These posts inspire me to actually finish some products rather than start one, move on to something new, then another, until my bathroom counter is a just a view into chaos and despair. Writing it down also helps me remember what I don’t like so I don’t accidentally buy something again (cough – Alterna hair care products – cough).

    Subsista the only empty I recall was 1 sheet of Say Yes To Blueberries makeup remover towelette (this was a Popsugar item I think) a few hours ago to take off my tinted sunscreen sample (I forgot which one because I rotate with a couple minis I put into that winter Popsugar bowl from last year).
    I thought of you.
    I know I am sweet.
    And I think 1 towelette is an empty.
