What ran out part 2
The face 😞 Pure jelly clean, a gel oil that becomes like an oily layer over the face that is hard to wash off. 🤩 Cetaphil gel cleanser a good one. 🙂 Jorgobe niacinamide serum, totally okay, got them so much in boxes and calendars. 🙂 Omorovicza clay mask, totally okay. 😀 Cicapair gel mask, cooling and soothing but nothing I would buy. 🙂 Jorgobe balancing moisturizer, totally okay, but I needed more fat in my cream. 🙂 Klairs sunscreen, okay, but nothing that works for me. 👍 Lumene glow elixir, good serum that provides moisture and glow, nothing that irritated me. 😍 Hyggee all in one cream, great cream. #lyko #skincare #empties #lumene #hyggee #klairs #jorgobe #drjart #Cetaphil7 products in post What ran out part 296 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

What ended part 1
Hair 👎Lador root re boot shampoo, nothing for me, hair feels heavy and dirty and smells strongly of Vicks blue, so watch out for the eyes. 😄 Ouai hair oil, totally okay, nothing I’d run my legs off to buy. 🙂 Wella fusion mask, totally okay, but there are better ones. 🙂Christophe Robin scrub an okay hair scrub that makes hair super soft. 😁 Herbal essences aloe shampoo, good lather and nice scent that makes hair feel clean. Body 😇 Treaclemoon wild cherry, good lather and nice scent. 🥰 Palmolive dreamy delight, good lather and nice scent. 🙂Evolve tropical blossom body scrub is okay, minimal scent, quite thick in consistency. #lyko #empties #evolveorganicbeaty #treaclemoon #herbalessence #ouai #wellaprofessionals #lador5 products in post What ended part 1153 views- The comment was made 1 dayWow, how funny your posts are 🩵 With emojis.

❄️ #empties2026 January❄️
#empties2026 - the year's first round of beauty junk🧴🧼🛍️ Just like in December, it was quite a lot😁 Among FAVORITES, you will find what I have bought again or am thinking of buying again. A lot I have mentioned over the years since the lovely Malin Malinadenfina started #empties here on Lyko Social so that we beauty hoarders could try to use up what we have before we buy new, so I won't list everything, but all the favorites are in the picture☺️ 👌 FAVORITES👌 👌 Kocostar Bakuchiol sheet mask softens dry, tired skin so nicely. 👌 Sungboon Edition Green Tomato pore lifting ampoule mask I don't even remember buying😄, but it was good. 👌 Patchology Serve chillid on ice Firming eye gels didn't tighten the skin as promised, but are still very nice, sit really well, reduce puffiness - and cost accordingly💸🤥😀 👌 Apotek Hjärtats eye wash is such a nice eye water to use, for example, after eyelash tinting or when there is a lot of pollen👁️👁️ (it's simply distilled water). 👌 Apolosophy active+ has such a good serum, for example this: Peptide serum, which is really a favorite! 👌 Anita Grant Camellia kissi oil - there went my absolute last bottle of the world's best organic camellia oil🥹 👌 Christophe Robin Cleansing volumising paste deeply cleans my oily whirl in an extremely effective way👏 👌 Glow Hub Nourish & hydrate serum-mist - completely wonderful peach-scented🍑 facial water that therefore seems to have been discontinued👎 👎 Klairs Midnight blue calming cream - the blue night cream I gave to my husband but sometimes swiped for the t-zone😄 👌 Eco Cosmetics lip balm - best cerate ever! 🤔 OK - BUT MAYBE NOT BUYING AGAIN 🤔 🤔 Purederm exfoliating foot mask has been so good when I can't afford a foot treatment 🦶🦶 at the salon, but either I remember wrong or they have changed the masks... they are open at the top, so you lie down while they work, and everything runs out🤥👎 Even though they are effective, it is also boring to sit with them for at least an hour😅 🤔 Dermosil micellar water is unfragranced, but there are even more moisturizing variants from other brands. 🤔 Purito Unscented centella toner is nice, but something in it always gives me micro-bumps after a while, so I don't dare to have it on my face. Got it in a box. 🤔 Astrid Hydro X-cell Hydrating eye gels I really need to stop buying because they do no good (but are cute and sit well). 🤔 Dermalogica Dynamic skin recovery came in a box but made no impression. 🤔 Tatcha The dewy skin cream was just as hyped and unimpressive as I suspected. There are many better creams for a lower price🤑 Got it as a sample with the purchase of something else. 🧴SAMPLES🧴 🧴 TEMPTING TO BUY: Klairs Maple Energy infusing serum. I might just need to finish about 6 other serums first🙄 Serums are what I, as a beauty hoarder, find it hardest to resist😁 🧴 Klairs Freshly juiced vitamin charging serum - same there. 🧴 NOT TEMPTING TO BUY: Dermalogica Biolumin c eye serum - was oily and I don't like oil around my eyes during the day. ⛔NO⛔ ⛔ Enomeys horrible cream that effectively destroys the skin barrier in a very short time👎 Got used as foot cream🦶😅 ⛔ Sans Soucis Moist depot - the oil serum that stinks half a day after application and effectively gives tension headaches and sometimes as a bonus, migraines👎 ⛔ Essence Hydrogel eye patches were the cutest in the world in the shape of clouds☁️ but refused to stay on and fell into my breakfast🤬👎 ⛔ The Inkeylist Retinol Eye Cream was really a miss for me, as it itched and dried out the skin around my eyes every time. I’d rather have wrinkles than expose myself to such👎 Half the tube got used as hand cream😁 Now let's see which leftovers I manage to empty in February🧴🧴☺️ There are many in line (unfortunately), but that's how it goes when you, as a beauty hoarder, buy a lot of new stuff, boxes, etc. I use up exactly everything, even if sometimes in a completely different way than intended, but the main thing is that nothing gets thrown away before it's empty 🛍️ #empties2026103 views- The comment was made 2 daysLinda Thank you, sweetie🙏 Yes, it takes a while to get everything sorted, but it works a bit as a deterrent like a punishment for buying so much🙄 Just think how nice it is during the months when there are fewer clutter items behind the door😀 Now that doesn't happen so often, but I live in hope of a personality change😉 and I don't buy so many boxes anymore, so maybe it's starting??? But yesterday I counted my lipsticks 💄 and other stuff for the lips🧐 and was horrified 😱 There were VERY many🤥🙄 Yes, we are innovative with our buying systems - I put empty samples of things I want to buy in bags under my underwear👙😁 Hugs🥰

January empties 💄🧴
Some favorites that ran out during the month, here are my #empties for January! I really love IT cosmetics foundation but Lumene's CC cream is just as good and goes for a cheaper price. ☺️ The Ordinary's serums are fantastic! But I have a bunch of others at home that need to run out first. 😌 Eye patches are my holy grail and these from Normal work great, preferably fridge cold! 🧊4 products in post January empties 💄🧴362 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

POV: when the jar is completely empty 😭
So… this here I used it almost every day and NOW that it’s empty, I notice how much it actually did 🫶 I’ve already bought it again, but in a milder version since it wasn’t available on Lyko. 🛒✨ Have you tried it yet? 👀💬 #empties #medicube #zeroporepad #hudvård #kbeauty #glowingskin #lykomission #lykocommunity #lykoview1 product in post POV: when the jar is completely empty 😭 - The post was made 3 weeks
#projectpan 2026 - the makeup that never runs out💄😄
This year I have chosen roughly the same products as last year because I really want to use them up! I have removed some that I don't want to work on right now and added a couple of new ones😊 I will probably be doing makeup about 2 times/week now - I rarely have the energy to do it more often due to the physical illness I have that causes, among other things, weak muscles - except for the lips, which are painted every day💄😊 +😍 Of course also powder on top of foundation, which I only have on my neck and décolleté every day, mostly because I want to avoid seeing the pigment spots (and want to use up the powder)😁 In the first picture, the crossed-out products are finally finished! 💄 The oldest products here are both from the German eco-brand Nui Cosmetics: a cream blush in a muted but very pigmented medium pink shade "Pititi" and a 💄discreet highlighter that gives a natural result in the shade "Hukarere". It is actually a cream eyeshadow that doesn't show up on my light skin, so I transformed it into a highlighter✨ 💄Benecos Natural eyeliner in "Grey" is something incredibly long-lasting🤑 but not waterproof, so it doesn't get used every time, but always together with 💄Isadora Perfect contour kajal waterproof #39 "Deep Grey". This one, however, is extremely waterproof, dark gray, and the only eye product I will miss! I had about 5 from the beginning, this is the last one (it is no longer made in this version). 💄Hourglass Voyeur waterproof gel eyeliner in neutral dark brown "Cave" is super nice and waterproof. Brown is NOT my color, so I have probably used it a maximum of 5 times in 2025🙄😅 Luxurious brand and nice product, so I don't want to throw it away (I won it a few years ago) stingy as I am in the middle of wasting🤑💸💸💸😉 💄Hynt Beauty Finale finishing powder in "Translucent Pearl" is organic, silky, and very good. It never runs out because it 1) is a huge jar and 2) I mostly have powder on the eye area to set everything. Now I have just started using it on top of foundation on my neck and décolleté (to avoid stains on my clothes). Let's see if it can speed it up a bit☺️ 💄100% Pure Fruit pigmented lip glaze in "Rose petal" is a super pretty, glossy lipstick from the American luxury brand 100% pure in a lovely cool dark rose shade🌹 I feel like I have so much makeup when I look through everything🙄, but it's so nice to get rid of some of the oldest products every year, preferably before they go bad🤥😄 I'm probably working on about 20 more things besides these in the picture, but I don't want to tempt fate and take too much with me, because then I immediately lose the desire to use them🤪 THANK YOU Malin, Malinadenfina, who started #empties and #projectpan here at Lyko a few years ago and continues to inspire us beauty hoarders to work with what we have and not always (but too often😉) buy new💜 #projectpan - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

December empties❄️
Hair🌸 As usual, my staple product Gliss Total Repair Balsamspray with heat protection. Also a hair mask from the Schwarzkopf Gliss series. A good budget option. Did you know that you should apply the mask before the conditioner? Quite new information for me. I also tried a dry shampoo from Monday. Does what it’s supposed to do at a very good price🌸 Body🌸 In winter, I need a richer body lotion. ACO's body lotion rich fits very well. Superb body cream with a mild scent. A little disappointment was the Origins Softening hand and body lotion. Provides zero moisture and doesn’t smell good at all😓 Skincare🌸 I always have a tube of ACO balancing face cream on the shelf. Moisturizing and repairing completely without perfume. Top-notch! I also used up ACO Bright Booster. Nice serum, but I think that 10% niacinamide is unnecessarily high. Max 5% is enough🌸 Makeup🌸 One of my favorite foundations ran out in December. Lumene Natural Glow Fluid Foundation. Also, my Idun tubing mascara ran out this month. Of course, a new one is on the way. If you haven’t tried these two gems, then run and buy💓 #empties9 products in post December empties❄️ - The post was made 1 month
Empties
Happy New Year everyone! Here are my #empties for November and December: Picture 1: ✅ Cerave Moisturising Lotion Used by both me and my son. Nice moisture for spring and summer, but I prefer something richer in fall/winter. ❌ Cerave foaming cleanser Good cleanser, but a bit too drying for my skin. Hydrating cleanser is better for me ✅ Cosmica glow booster. A mild and moisturizing C-vitamin serum. Gives a nice glow and suits sensitive skin. Love 💗 ✅ Cosmica renewing face Oil. A big favorite. Gives the skin nourishment, glow, and comfort. I buy this again and again 💗 ➖ Topz cleansing Oil. A perfectly fine oil cleanser, but I have other favorites. Will not repurchase. ✅ The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% My favorite niacinamide. Have bought it many times and will continue to do so. ✅ Drmtlgy Pumpkin enzyme mask Gives fresher and more even skin. Effective, but also gentle. Very satisfied. Bought in the USA. ✅ Drmtlgy microdermabrasion scrub Gives noticeably smoother skin. Used about 1x per week, often in connection with LED light. Love it. Bought in the USA. Picture 2: ✅ Piz Buin sunscreen spf 50+ A recurring favorite over many years. Reliable and very good. ➖ Elvital Hyaluron plump shampoo Fit my fine, Scandinavian hair quite well, but I have other favorites. ✅ Vaseline Healthy Hands & Stronger Nails Love these, hence both small and large. Absorbs quickly, not sticky, and smells good. ➖ Loreal men expert hydra energetic cleanser Have used many of these in the morning and they have always worked perfectly. Suddenly reacted to it, so no more of this for the time being. ✅ Camilla Pihl Primer sheet mask Absolutely great before makeup. Gives smooth skin and the makeup sits flawlessly ✨ Picture 3: ✅ Family fresh aloe Care shower cream Mild, good, and moisturizing. The whole family likes this. Love the shower gels from this brand ✅ Palmolive Provence dream Love the scent. Affordable. Absolutely repurchase. ✅ Palmolive sweet honey Smells good, good consistency, and does what it should. ✅ Asan intimate wash cranberry. Does what it should. ✅ Care by Therese Johaug Fresh deo Has become one of my regular deodorants and even my husband loves this. Smells clean and does its job. Absolutely repurchase9 products in post Empties - The post was made 1 month
#empties2025 november
Here I have finally tackled this year's second to last load with #empties i.e. beauty products that have run out, often after real effort on my part as it is tempting to just throw it away, but I don't like😉 👌FAVORITES👌 HERE IS A PART OF WHAT I BUY/BOUGHT🥰 THE REST IS VISIBLE IN THE PHOTO! 👌Mitomo Royal jelly + cherry blossom essence mask - lovely for dry, mature skin that sometimes acts up. Smells wonderful🌸 👌Schmidt's Charcoal & Magnesium natural deodorant must be the world's best eco-deodorant for us heavy sweaters, and that's why it has been discontinued🤬 I can still find it, but not in the US. 👌REN Skincare Brightening dark circle Eye Cream was the salvation for my dark circles under my eyes in the summer with its pure brightening ingredients. Of course, the whole brand is going bankrupt because of that👎 👌Q+A Exfoliating body scrub - cheap, super good, and mildly fragrant body scrub to fend off the bumps on the back of the arms also known as Keratosis Pilaris! 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE NOT BUYING AGAIN🤔 🤔 Sephora's eye mask for dark circles smelled okay unlike the one with (rotten?) cucumber I had last month😀 Had no real effect though, but sometimes you have to be grateful for the little things😉 🤔Beauty formula reviving gold eye gels patches have the world's longest name, felt nice but had questionable effect😃 🤔Mádara Lip rescue balm was the balm that didn't work for my lips but was an okay paw salve for the dog🦮 🤔Benton Air fit UV Defense sun cream spf 50. Good but didn't like the menthol-like scent👃 🤔REN Skincare Evercalm barrier support elixir was a highly mediocre oil serum. 🧴SAMPLES THAT DON'T TEMPT TO BUY🧴 🧴 Bath & Body Works body cream Perfect in pink was nice but so strong that it smelled all day even though I only applied it to my lower legs. Got 2 days of headaches from two uses👎 ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME⛔ ⛔Staywell's new eye masks with vitamin C, collagen, and hyaluronic acid were strongly perfumed, chafed due to the thickness, and had zero effect💸👎 November is long over and December's sticky trash is now piling up - here come a bunch of leftovers that I finally managed to use up🧴🧴🧴😀 even if not always as intended - but that's the basic idea with #empties - use up what you've bought, maybe in a new way, instead of immediately buying new. We can do that as a reward when we've, for example, gotten through a half-hearted cream😀😉 Thanks to Malin Malinadenfina who started this on Lyko social💜 #empties2025 november - The user's roll: Ambassador.

November empties❄️
Here come my empties from November🌸 ✅Family Fresh So Soft Shower Cream A really good budget favorite. The whole family uses it. Smells good and cleans without drying out💓 ⛔️Kerastase 8H Magic Night Serum An old favorite from before that no longer has any effect on my hair😢 Could be due to reformulation and that my hair has changed over the years. Huge disappointment considering the price🫤 ✅By Lyko On The Glow Setting Spray A good setting spray considering the price. Does not dry out and keeps the makeup reasonably well in place. Gives a nice glow. Have bought it several times💓 ✅ACO glow booster A nice moisturizing serum with 2% vitamin C. Very good for beginners and sensitive skin. Love💓 ✅ACO Hydrating Booster A moisturizing serum with hyaluronic acid. Affordable and good💓 ⛔️Got2b Eyebrow Gel This will not be a repurchase. Does not hold the brows in place and it becomes like “white flakes” when it dries🫤 ⛔️Lumene Serum In Concealer These in the shades light and medium I have not been able to use at all. So they are going in the trash without being empty. They dry down and flake on the skin. So it looks like you have dry patches on your face. Has not worked at all with any skincare or foundations. Cannot be due to product error, as I have bought these two at different times and in different stores😓 #empties6 products in post November empties❄️548 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

What has come to an end
Hair 😀 Lador root re boots shampoo mild citrus scented but feels like mint in the hair, overall I think it’s OK! 🙂 Lador oil hair mist, totally okay, not oily, gives a bit of shine, for me the hair becomes dry from it. 👍 By Lyko conditioner okay scent. The hair becomes soft and cared for without weighing it down. Face 😀 Cosrx green calming pads, good for hydration. 🙂 Comfort zone remedy defense cream I liked before but now it didn’t work at all, it didn’t provide the moisture I needed. 😀 Evolve blue ceramide serum, a soothing and caring, which it did but I feel it’s more oily than a serum should be. 🤔 Klairs midnight blue cream hasn’t worked for me and not this time either, my skin reacts strongly to it, became hand cream.. again. 🤩 Avene tolerance cream is a moisturizing, soothing, just the right amount of fatty cream that I like. Other 🤩 Rituals of Hammam lotion I like the cream and the scent. 😀 Garnier eye remover, totally okay. Worth the money and gentle on the eyes. 🙂 Pawpaw face mist, a bit on the milky side, good hydration. 👎 La bruket hand cream was nothing to cheer about. #lyko #empties6 products in post What has come to an end118 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

#empties2025 October 🍂🌞
Here come October's sticky beauty treasures😀 👌FAVORITES👌 - Here’s what I want to buy or have already bought many times! There are so many, but I’ll list a few and the rest can be seen in the photo👍 💗Marina Miracle Sweet & Creamy oil Cleanser - wonderful organic☘️ facial cleanser for dry skin with a slightly sweet, creamy scent. Perfect when you don’t have sf or waterproof makeup and don’t want to deal with double cleansing😁 (which I honestly find super annoying😬). Norwegian MM is of course also cruelty free🐁🐒🐇 like all organic brands. (Not all vegan brands are though). 💗 Paula's Choice Omega complex cleansing balm - unfragranced cleansing balm - perfect for double cleansing. 💗Kocostar Leg Relax therapy - cooling and soothing leg masks🧊🦵🦵 Super nice for swollen legs or in my case: not swollen but tired, heavy, and aching legs after overexertion (due to physical illness). Worth their weight in gold - and they cost that too😉 💗Dr. PawPaw Your gorgeous skin hydrating face mist was super nice but of course was discontinued when I wanted to buy it🤥 My usual fate👎😁 💗Klorane Dry shampoo volume with organic flax - same here🤥 💗Antipodes Diem vitamin C pigment correcting water cream - so nice, lightweight facial cream for the T-zone in late summer😙 💗Depend Supersnabb nail polish remover - the best!💗 💗Ole Henriksen Strength peptide boost moisturizer - lovely👏 💗Mádara Retinol alternative plant-powered eye serum - pleasant eye serum with - hopefully - effective anti-aging effect😊 I have very dry skin under my eyes, so I apply eye cream on top. 💗Mádara Retinol alternative plant-powered serum - the same but for face, neck, and décolleté. I, who have thin, dry skin, cannot use Retinol, so I go with these plant-based organic☘️ alternatives👍 💗Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun rice + probiotics has been one of my favorite sunscreens. This is the old version, I haven’t tried the reformulated one🙂 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE WON'T BUY AGAIN 🤔 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️Balance Gold + marine collagen hydrogel under eyes mask (can’t the name be longer?😅) came with 3 pairs in a box but that was probably the only advantage. 🤷♀️AimX Revive me - under-eye mask with snow mushroom extract I can’t even remember😀 🤷♀️Astrid Glow Expert 4D hydrogel eye gels were sweet pink but not much more. 🤷♀️Klairs All-day airy sunscreen is everyone’s favorite but not mine🥺 Unfragranced but smelled a bit musty because of that🤢 but now I’ve tried it and don’t have to wonder how it is😁 🧴SAMPLES THAT DID NOT TEMPT TO BUY🧴 🧴Schwarzkopf Blonde deep repair mask neither impressed me nor my bleached highlights. ⛔NO⛔ ⛔Sephora De-puffing eye patches contain cucumber extract but were not at all de-puffing and smelled like rotten cucumber🤢😅👎 ⛔Bondi Sands Eye Spy brightening Eye Cream separated despite being new, did NOT brighten and contains like onion on salmon several silicones that never provide anything other than a temporary cosmetic effect, which a good eye cream does not need👀 Yep, that was quite a lot this time too🧴🧼🛍️ but I feel satisfied to have managed to use up a lot of leftovers, which can be difficult as a beauty hoarder when you constantly want to open something new, not to mention buying new🥺 which the #empties project aims to stop😊 There will probably be more beauty treasures now in November! Thanks again🙏 to lovely Malin #Malinadenfina who started this and #projectpan here on Social a few years ago - you are my constant inspiration💜 #empties2025 October60 views- The comment was made 1 monthMalinadenfina There will probably come a time in life when you have more energy for this, Malin, but I understand that it’s not now, and that’s perfectly natural😚 Many hugs🥰1 likes

What ended the face
😁 Skir cleansing lotion I've used as a morning wash and it feels soft and soothing on the skin while also cleansing. I might consider buying a full size of it. 🤩 Djusie peace out essence suits my sensitive skin, it is moisturizing, plumping, and calms the skin. I might consider repurchasing, the prices are a bit steep. 🤩 Dr. Jart Ceramidin serum toner is moisturizing and calms my sensitive dry skin, fragrance-free. The price is high. 🤩 Dr. Jart cicapair tiger glass repair serum, I don't know if they renamed the product because I can't find it. But it is light yet very moisturizing, tones down redness, and the skin feels strengthened. 🤩 Emma S gel cream that doesn't get too poor on my skin, has worked well during the summer and daytime. It provides good moisture without being sticky. It has a scent. I might consider repurchasing. #empties #lyko4 products in post What ended the face233 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

What has run out for body and hair
🙂 Madara bitter honey shower gel is totally okay, good lather and feels good afterwards, the scent is boring. Not something I will buy again. 😍 Palmolive dreamy delight shower gel, a classic shower gel with lots of lather and scent. A fresh candy scent. 🤩 Rituals legend of the dragon, spicy sweet scent. 😁 Rapsodine shower cream with a mild scent and feels good on the skin. 🤩 Rituals of Hammam good lotion with a nice eucalyptus scent. 🤔 Kerastase scalp serum don’t know if it makes any difference. Just thought my hair looks dirty when I use it and sure, my hair gets softer but I have soft hair on top of my head so it doesn’t need to be softer... #lyko #empties3 products in post What has run out for body and hair319 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

October empties🍂
Sharing my empties from October🌸 ✅Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for normal/sensitive skin. A big favorite. I always use micellar water as my only cleanser in the morning. Feels fresh and doesn't dry out my skin🌸 ✅hth Body Lotion original Always in my bathroom. The best body cream in my opinion. Keeps my keratosis pilaris at bay🌸 ✅Gliss Total Repair Balsam Spray This balsam spray is a staple in my home. My hair is thick, curly, and demanding. This balsam spray is just as good as many other more expensive variants🌸 ✅The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% An excellent toner. This bottle has lasted me over a year. Unfortunately, I had to switch to a milder exfoliating toner as my skin is apparently in a sensitive phase🌸 ✅ACO Balancing Face Cream My “holy grail” when it comes to moisturizer. Always have it in stock at home. A rich cream that hydrates, repairs, and soothes my skin. No fuss🌸 ✅ACO Soothing Eye Cream I usually don’t use eye cream. I hydrate the skin around my eyes with my regular moisturizer. But I got eczema around my eyes last spring. And this worked very well🌸 ✅Smuuti Watermelon lipmask I always have a lip balm close at hand. I really like this one. It does what it’s supposed to do, simply🌸 #empties7 products in post October empties🍂675 views- The comment was made 3 monthsMicellar water from Garnier is always good, and it's fun to see your empties🥰1 likes

Empties
Some of the #empties I haven't thrown away yet 🫣 ❤️ Rituals The ritual of karma 24h anti-perspirant spray Wonderful scent - the same as the rest of the line. Works really well. I will definitely buy again. ❤️ Sundae honey honey 🍯 whipped shower foam. Really nice and foamy shower foam. I will definitely buy again, but right now I'm testing the scent hot chocolate 🍫 instead. ❤️ Rituals The ritual of yozakura rich foaming shower gel. Wonderful foam, but sundae is a bit cozier. The scent is magical though! I will definitely buy more from this line. ❤️ Hagi natural intimate wash gel. Smells plasticky and disgusting to my nose. Used it up but will absolutely not buy again. Good thing I have another favorite (Yope). ❤️ Korres greek yoghurt foaming cleanser. Absolutely crazy good! And without drying out my dry skin. I will definitely buy this again, but right now I'm testing one from Maria Åkerberg.2 products in post Empties166 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

#empties2025 september 🍁🌞🍁
I thought I’d get out of the wagon and do September’s beauty trash while it’s still October😁 One reason I’m continuing with this #empties project is that I want to see how much skincare🧴 I actually use up each month! (The answer is, surprisingly a lot🛍️). My products are for very dry, a bit sensitive, very thin skin and I buy a lot of organic☘️ + prioritize brands that don’t test on animals. 🥇FAVORITES 🥇 Things that are bought again and again/all I want to buy again! Almost everything is reviewed by me IF it’s available to buy here😀 I’m listing some of them - the rest can be seen in the picture🧴🧴🧴 🥇Simply When Water wish - incredibly moisturizing💦 lightly soothing sheet mask. 🥇Yves Rocher Leave in botanical balm Light - leave-in product that gives light hold without silicones👏 for fine hair. 🥇C/o Gerd B2 Hair Serum also gives light hold with a faint mandarin scent that disappears when the hair dries. Unfortunately, Lyko has stopped carrying it now👎 🥇Aveeno Yoghurt body cream Apricot 🍑 & Honey🍯 🥇Geek & Gorgeous Happier Barrier - nice summer cream IF it’s complemented with serum, oil, and rich sf😀 🥇Bioderma Sensibio H2O eyes - very effective but gentle eye makeup remover for waterproof makeup. Doesn’t quite measure up to the blissfully departed "Medik8 Eyes and Lips micellar..." but is very good😊 🥇Maria Åkerberg Neroli Freshener is also a summer favorite with a wonderful scent💕 🤷♀️OK - BUT MAYBE NOT BUYING AGAIN 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️FAB First Beauty Aid Wild oat hydrating toner - softening and soothing facial water with, among other things, oats was good but contains a bit too many questionable chemicals for my taste👎 🤷♀️Neal's Yard Wild Rose glow facial oil - was unfortunately my last product from the British organic brand Neal's Yard as they have stopped selling in Sweden🤥👎 Wouldn’t have bought this oil again, but love many of their other products🧴 🤷♀️Apolosophys Niacinamide serum 10% I could only use in the T-zone and barely that - too strong for my skin but worth it if you can tolerate it🤑 I have to stick to their lovely peptide serum instead👍 🧴SAMPLES THAT DIDN'T TEMPT TO BUY 🧴 🧴Summer Fridays Jet lag Overnight eye serum was good but better options exist for puffy skin around the eyes👁️ ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME ⛔ ⛔Sence Hydrogel eye mask made zero difference for me, unfortunately🤥 ⛔Dermalogica Oil to foam total cleanser was unfortunately way too drying and still didn’t remove everything even though it sounds tempting to only need ONE cleanser😄 I actually haven’t made a single impulse purchase of skincare in September👍 but the bag with extra skincare is still overflowing with various serums, sf, etc. = my so-called finds from the whole year🛍️Embarrassing😳😄 and soon it’s Black Friday when new finds always creep in for me😉 Then it’s all about thinking intensely about #empties and why we are beauty hoarders... if that helps😁 #empties2025 september - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

What’s empty - body and hair
Monthly empties again. 🙂 Patyka oil to foam, not a fave. No special scent and not special at all. It was drying. 😄 Madara intense repair lotion, is really nourishing and moisturizing without being sticky. Smells like their products do. 😃 Apoliva hand cream, good scent and takes care of dry hands well. 😃 Rapsodine shampoo and conditioner totally okay everyday products. But I like their vinegar series better. 🙂 Shu uemura shampoo and conditioner, thinking about the price, the duo doesn’t deliver much. It’s okay, but the hair gets greasy after long use and doesn’t hold the hair color well at all. #lyko #empties #skincare5 products in post What’s empty - body and hair199 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

What has run out, the face.
Time for a month's empties. 😃 Keihls cannabis cleanser, which seems to be discontinued. I liked that it cleansed without drying out but can't handle mascara. 😃 Dr. Ceuracle oil mist. A lovely mist that gives moisture to the face but is also good when you feel warm. 🙂 Hickap hydra gel mask. An okay mask that plumps and provides moisture. There's a bit of resistance when you try to wash it off, it's reluctant to leave the face. 🤩 Xlash balm cleanser which is the best but even that has been discontinued. It washes off easily in cold water. 🙂 The Ordinary alpha arbutin serum. That is supposed to even out and reduce dark spots but I saw no difference. 🤩 Löwengrip day mask that smells like banana, how fun! It provides a lot of hydration and glow and works great under makeup. 🤩 Djusie facial oil. Which is really good considering the price. But there are equally good ones that are priced much lower. But I like it as a moisturizer and it gives a natural glow. It should also work against blue light. #lyko #empties #skincare5 products in post What has run out, the face.291 views - The post was made 4 months
August #empties🧴🛍️
So here we are on the last day of September, AUGUST #empties 😁 This was supposed to be posted a few weeks ago, but instead of fighting with a screaming app 😊, I chose to enjoy the beautiful Indian summer days that September has given us 🌞🍁🌞 👌FAVORITES👌 HERE IS A BIT OF WHAT I KEEP BUYING OR THINKING ABOUT BUYING 👍 Reviews from me can be found under my profile on almost everything 🙂 👌Medicube collagen lifting mask was cooling and lovely for my dry skin.. 👌Avène Eau thermale - mild facial water in spray form, extra nice on hot days 💦 👌Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant - the enzyme peel that lasts forever 🤑 👌Comfort Zone Sun soul face cream spf 50 - best sunscreen WITHOUT NIACINAMIDE 👍👏🙏 for all of us whose skin doesn't always like that ingredient! 👌Bondi Sands Daily moisturising face spf 50 - also mild, unfragranced sun protection for the face 🌞 👌Balance Active formula Gold + marine collagen hydrogel masks (but please, can't the name be made a little longer??? 😉) are big but quite slippery and have previously only been okay, but now they did more good for my swollen skin around the eyes 👁️👁️🤔 👌Nobe Cooling care de-puffing eye patches sat really well 👏 (nice to not risk getting them in the breakfast cereal 😁) even though they weren't super good. 👌Beauty Jar Cool eyes liquid eye patches - the liquid, incredibly affordable eye mask 🤑 👌Mádara Retinol alternative plant-powered eye serum - so mild and lovely organic creamy eye serum with anti-aging effect without retinol! 👌Zoya Goes Pretty Shea butter with lavender oil - organic and vegan unrefined shea butter with soothing lavender oil - so lovely for sensitive, dry skin to have on at the very end when the cream and oil have sunk in 😊 🤔OK - BUT MAYBE NOT BUYING AGAIN 🤔 🤔Mixsoon Glacier water hyaluronic acid serum - is despite the name NOT a serum but a light moisturizing facial water. Moisturizing serum is still needed if you have dry skin, so it's a pretty unnecessary product. Maybe suitable if you're in your late teens! 🤔Torriden Solid in cream was nice and extremely affordable 🤑 but my skin didn't really like all the ingredients and got micro-bumps from it 🤥 🤔Urtekram Hand cream Soft Wild Rose is organic, soft and lovely and smells so mild of rose 🌹 but doesn't suffice for my dry hands 😊 🧴SAMPLES THAT DID NOT TEMPT TO BUY 🧴 🧴Dermalogica Intensive moisture balance absolutely did not suffice for my dry skin 🤥 ⛔NO - NOT FOR ME ⛔ ⛔Sans Soucis Cleansing toner for all skin types is supposed to suit all skin types as it contains no alcohol. However, it has a very strong fragrance 👎🤥 Felt very drying as well 👎 ⛔REN Skincare Overnight glow dark spot sleeping cream gave neither the slightest glow nor removed dark spots 👎 I have now managed to get rid of a whole lot of old impulse buys from my bags and cabinets 👝🧴🛍️ by using them in new ways 🤔 since they didn't really suit my facial skin anyway 🤥 It is SO hard not to buy a ton of new stuff as a beauty hoarder, so I'm now trying to just refill what is empty, so MAYBE I will get to buy a luxurious advent calendar with skincare 🤔 Or maybe not 😉 THANK YOU Malin #Malinadenfina 🙏💜 for starting with #empties and #projectpan (using up makeup) here on Social! #empties2025 August189 views- The comment was made 3 monthsThank you, Anna🙏💕 I love Mádara's products overall, and I have the eye serum and face serum instead of Retinol products because they should give the same effect😊 but without side effects!
