You are my new favourite person to watch. My skin has changed and hates most products. I’ve had to re haul my entire routine, and whatever I needed I checked with you first. And none have bothered my skin. I am an aesthetician but have only ever used medical grade, over priced products. Now, I have none and my skin is FINALLY getting better. Thanks for sacrificing your skin to give us feedback
I liked how thorough you were with empties here, you talked quite a bit more about them this time. Even if I'm not super interested in trying a particular product, I really enjoy hearing you talk about your feelings and experiences with them. I'm amazed you finished so much and remember all these thoughts! Proud of you this month, I wish I was that good at getting through products.
I am the same way with Marshalls and TJ Maxx. But if it's a good deal you have to buy when see because it won't be there later! I buy and place in my fridge in bathroom. When ready it's there. Maybe slightly abnormal...lol
I did that with the Pacifica vegan ceramide serum. I saw it there and bought one to try, then went back a few weeks later and got a bunch for over half off!
Sorry for leaving so many comments. Trader Joe's has a dupe for the glow recipe watermelon moisturizer. It is quite nice for the summer or for an extra moisturizer at night.
Yayy the time has come for the Klavuu lip mask I’ve been dying for you to try for 3 years!!!!!!! Also did you see the new Babelash hair density serum? 👀 I really want to try it because I’ve been hoping they’d come out with one for your scalp for six years!!
Oooh I didn't realize they released a new serum- definitely going to have to try it out- love Babelash! Excited for them to have more products to try out!
Am really enjoying your channel Sarah. I'm amazed and impressed at how many different products you're able to review and appreciate that you don't do paid promotions. You mentioned you have hyperpigmentation - have you ever used Zelens skincare? I've tried their Lumino serum and found it to be quite effective (although it's not cheap).
Oh thank you so much for your kind comments! I really wish more of the "unsponsored" reviews would catch on, but I guess TH-camrs love free stuff too much! 😂 Definitely will check Zelens out- I don't think I've tried anything from them. They just haven't been on my radar but thank you for mentioning it- hyperpigmentation is so tough so always on the lookout for new products that might help!
I found a new brand - very hard to find + shipping is a pain in your booty. I live in Europe and had to find a proxy shipping service on reddit. The brand itself is called Skinmade and is located in Malaysia but OH MY GOD the formulas, products and price are breath-taking. Got the Retinal serum, Azelaic Acid serum and the salicylic acid cleanser. I hope they will offer international shipping asap 🙏😭
I have been LOVING the illyoon ATO LOTION (not cream) for body lotion. It’s sooo silky and easy to spread. I sometimes use it on my face but as a body lotion it’s sooo stinking good!
Hi Sarah I did pretty well with the empties in January, but not this amount lol. My empties were: Vaseline body balm 2 x sheet masks PC ultra rich moisturiser 60mls LG balance n brighten (makeup, but these take forever to use lol) AHA body lotion (lactic acid - Superdrug own brand) 200mls Avene tolerance balm 40mls Palmers intensive hand cream 50mls by Terry hydrapowder in rose light full size (also took well over a year on my severely dry skin lol) Doublebase flare relief 500g There you go and no duds in the bunch. I have the PC moisturiser going again, as well as the Doublebase and AHA body lotion (I have back ups of all of these). Best wishes.
I'm impressed with your empties too!!! I have to pull out the PC Ultra Rich Moisturizer- so good for winter time! I haven't tried anything from By Terry before but I might have to check that powder out- if it works for you maybe my sensitive skin will handle it well!
@@NOBSBeauty It's not as drying as most powders and applied lightly is enough to set my makeup (plus blurring pores a little) without making me really dry. The HA thing is a bit meh in powder, but it's super finely milled and isn't heavy on the skin. It took me well over a year to use and both times I've bought it was on a discount, so per use works out to be good value for me btw. x
I’m finished with a Cosde Baha azaleic acid serum and I have a back up. Liking it. Almost finished with a Missha soft finish sun milk which is pretty matte and a little pink for me but ok for being around the house. I would love to hear your thoughts on lip masks that aren’t as expensive as Tatcha. Also I’ve been loving Hada Labo cleansers. Want to try some of their hydrating toners this year. My fav is their cleansing oil.
I purchased the minimalist 5% niacinamide body lotion and was really excited. The ingredients are amazing, and it has the correct amount of niacinamide. The issue is it has 20% glycerin which makes it really sticky. It's AMAZING at hydrating and moisturizing my body, but the stickiness doesn't go away. It's super affordable, so I'll see how I feel after finishing it.
Love your empties Sarah! A little off topic but just curious if you've tried the Round Lab soybean serum? I'm thinking about grabbing it but would love your thoughts on it as you're the most honest and real you tuber out there. I truly value your opinion. Thanks lovely!
I'm adding this to my "to do" list because I have it and really like it! It is pretty hydrating, it does set to a just slightly tacky finish but this is okay because you will be applying a moisturizer over it. Contains some nice ferments as well as panthenol and ceramides. Mostly friendly for acne prone skin as well contains- stearic acid, cetearyl alcohol, squalane, and vitamin e. I'll try to review it next week!
I’m obsessed with Korean moisturizers and for SOME REASON, I don’t know why I just DO NOT like the purito centella unscented cream. I have no idea why. I feel like I should but I’ve had it pill a few times which totally turned me off to it
TJ Maxx for the win! I got my first skinfix product there the other day, the AHA/BHA renewing cream. But it was in a security box and I couldn't see the label and didn't realize it was 'natural AHAs and BHAs' lol. I just put my trust in Skinfix because of their reputation and I couldn't pass up such a good deal, that cream is $48 at Sephora and I got it for $20 so I won't complain lol. I don't know how effective that kind of thing is, the natural AHAs, I am curious to hear your thoughts on that kind of thing.
I finished another tube of Village Factory Derma Cica B5 cream this month. I looove that cream, because it has so unique texture - it is gel-balm. Usually gels tend to be only hydrating. But this feels like gel + balm combo in 50/50 balance. Hugs my skin so nicely. It is available on Yesstyle for 10 EUR. I like it as day cream. Especially because it is winter and the air in my apartment is so so dry. This hits exactly the right spot. Sometimes I use it at night too, but only when I do my routine couple of hours before going to sleep, as it is a bit sticky. But I suggest you try it if you have not. So good product :) On summer I only use it at PM. I have used up now 5-6 tubes.
* u did a great job this month girl , I can't believe u finished all this stuff you are on a roll. I'm gonna have to check out marshals now thanks for being a bad influence 🤣
Has anyone tried the Purito Galactomyces Niacinamide serum ? The Wishtrend Vitamin A, Cera Barrier Soothing Ampoule, propolis Ampoule just to name a few is 30% off on Amazon. And it's legit Wishtrend products.
Ohh thanks! I always post on this channel when I see legit Korean skincare on huge sales too! Recently got the Mediheal Baoab toner and serum with 60% off and it doesn’t expire til 2025. It was such a good deal and a holy grail now
Nice list. My most memorable empties were the Purito centella unscented recovery cream and the serum, really liked both and have repurchased. Oh also the paulas choice calm repairing serum. I have a backup that I haven't opened yet because I'm trying the omega serum now instead. Not sure which I like best yet.
I bought it right from cosrx's website but it looks sold out at the moment www.cosrx.com/products/advanced-snail-92-all-in-one-cream?variant=43601965351128
@@NOBSBeauty I wish I knew the biosionse lip balm was one of ur favs I would have sent it I got a whole set and I was scared to open the lipbalms and try it cause I thought it would taste like flower perfume and I don't do flower lip anything so I regifted the gift set for Xmas to my mother inlaw it was the set with the pink makeup bag.

I had a friend send me some bottles from Australia- but you should be able to get it shipped from this site: www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/61040/Azclear-Medicated-Lotion-25G-Pimples-Acne
I ended up being allergic to the ordinary peptide hair serum omg it was giving me an awful rash anywhere it touched my skin if it dripped behind ears forehead back of the neck and on my scalp it itched some. I am so sad wanted to love it but their is something my skin doesn't like in the phormula.
Look at the ingredients. If it's pure retinol mixed with retinyl palmitate or maybe a derivative like bakuchiol etc. Most of the times it's retinyl palmitate which is one of the weakest forms of retinoid. Hope I could help.
I want to share something good with u and your viewers for under eyes at night vitamin e and coconut oil under eyes tap in really works love u and your info see u tomorrow
I got a super good deal on it, ended up being about $140 after Cashback and coupons. Otherwise I'd never spend that much, I'll make it last a few months.
I hope you're recycling all those skincare empties. I know my Nordstrom in Seattle area has cosmetics recycle bin for consumers to recycle cosmetics that typically not accepted by waste management companies. Thanks for all you do Sarah!
