Beauty Empties 20.0 | March

Welcome to the first Empties post of 2019 and like I've mentioned many times before; no matter how little or many products I have finished within the quarter of the year, I'm just grateful and giving myself pats on the shoulder for finishing them. My goal is to post and Empties post every 3 months, not only to just clear out my bin but also to track my skincare stash by updating my spreadsheet - yes, I would prefer to keep it tight so I won't or less buying new products that I haven't tried twice. Beginning 2018, I no longer believe in buying 2 products thinking it is good and therefore I'll be needing a backup for it. I have set a rule to only repurchase a certain product after consideration and full or mini review of it except the products that are on my HG list where I'll be buying them whenever I have extra budget to invest. Enough ranting, let's get to some products that I've finished from January till this month!

 

For skincare, I only finished 3 cleansers and a sunscreen. I recently finished my first tub of that Heimish All Clean Balm and now I'm on my second one! I do love it as it works better than the first cleansing balm I ever tried which was from Banila Co. That THE FACE SHOP White Seed Exfoliating Cleansing Foam is good for my evening routine although my skin is feeling more on drier side for months now so I actually used like a quarter of it for my face while the rest as my body cleanser and I'm currently on my second tube now; (I know) it is just one of those times I'm regretting buying backups. The same goes to that A'PIEU Deep Clean Foam Cleanser. I'm pretty sure the pH is high so I need to use pH adjusting toner whenever I used this in my cleansing routine. Won't be repurchasing for sure.

I've finished a tube of that best-selling sunscreen from THE FACE SHOP; Natural Sun Eco Power Long Lasting Sun Cream and even though it performed quite well as a long-wearing tone-up sunscreen, I've decided not to repurchase at least until 2022 as I just bought the full-sized of the upgraded version of the best tone-up sunscreen I've tried; Dr.G Brightening Sun Up now with SPF50+. Thank you, next!

For body care, I have finished the Soap & Glory The Scrub of Your Life although not really to be honest as I've tried a better one from The Body Shop but as for the The Righteous Butter, I think it's great but I am always into trying new body lotions; that is just the reality of it and the only one that I have repurchased over and over again would be from L'Occitane.

That empty container is actually a finished coffee body scrub from a local brand, @thepinkdiamond.co and I'm currently on my second tub of it. Not that it's amazing or anything but I don't feel like spending over RM100 getting coffee scrub from Sephora. It works well at smoothing out the dead skin cells and I love the smell of coffee so.

I also finished another tube of perfumed hand cream from THE FACE SHOP and this time it's the Rose Water scented. It's just a typical lightweight hand cream that runs like water to me so I have recently switched to thicker hand cream from a German brand that I bought from Watsons.

I guess that's all of it! I hope I can finish more products by the end of next quarter so I'll be seeing you guys on the next Empties post. Annyeong~
