My fifth empties review 🙂 Spring cleaning and noticed my empties box was overflowing lol. Some of the items me and my partner both use.

Most of the products are AB samples. Samples are normally one-time use which is very hard to know if it works for you or not but I have reviewed them below regardless as there are a couple I really liked. I only buy from cruelty-free brands but sometimes I get gifts from friends and family that are not cruelty-free. If anyone wants more reviews or has questions let me know 🙂

Floland Premium Silk Keratin Treatment – An acidic hair treatment. Personally, I did not find this making much of a difference than my normal Lador Hydro LPP Treatment so I did not find it anything special to have both. Very runny formula which made me use it pretty fast for such a big bottle. Has a subtle citrus smell. Took 6 months using once a week to use up. WNRP.

Nudy Rudy Berrylicious Body Wash – Had to grab this while i was out as I hated the strawberry milk cleanser (reviewed below) and I liked the smell at first but my gosh is it strong, if you love strong berry smells this is perfect for you. Did not cause acne on the body and wasn’t drying so it’s a great body wash but so strong lol. Took 2 months using every day to use up. WNRP.

Nard Sensitive Scalp Care Shampoo – This was a bit drying for my hair type so I let my partner use it (they have oily 2C hair) and they liked it but tbh its nothing too amazing just a simple gentle shampoo best for oily hair. Took 4 months to use twice a week for 2 weeks then once a day (my partner washes their hair once a day) to use up. WNRP.

Strawberry Milk Body Cleanser – I absolutely hated this body wash. It had so much hype around it and does smell good but it was super drying for my skin and also caused body acne. Big no. I used the rest just on my feet cause I hate wasting product. WNRP. Took 3 months of random use to use up.

Strawberry Milk Body Lotion (not pictured) – I’m just adding this here as a PSA lol. I got the set and the body lotion is worse than the body wash as it did nothing but make my skin irritated and I did not add it as I could not use it up. I guess I might be sensitive to one of the ingredients this brand uses as I have tried other stuff from them and I never liked it.

Stridex Maximum Strength Pads – Been using these for years on my body after I shower. Great cheap exfoliating pads. RP. I use two every other day so it takes about 2 months to use up.

Tree Hut Peach Sorbet Body Scrub – Got as a gift. Very strong peach smell and exfoliates well but I prefer liquid exfoliants or just using a dry brush so i find sugar scrubs wasteful. WNP. Took 2 months using a few times a week to use up.

Celderma Real Moisture Flower Hydrogel Eye Mask – Got it as a gift. Was a really nice hydrogel eye mask and did brighten my under eyes, not too hydrating tho. MP. Took one day to use up, one-time use.

Re:p Organic Cotton Treatment Toning Pad – Free sample from Neogenlab, had to use it up fast as everything I got from them will expire in less than a month smh. Just a simple toning pad and I did not really notice a difference in my skin. WNP. Took one day to use up, one-time use.

Neogen Gauze Peeling Pad Lemon – Same as above. WNP. Took one day to use up, one-time use.

Heimish All Clean Balm Mandarin – My HG cleansing balm. I’m not huge on the original formula as it has coconut oil, which my skin hates, but this version doesn’t, and I have no issues with it making my eyes foggy or leaves a film, two things I notice coconut oil does to me. The scent is very faint and takes anything on my skin off well. One downside is that it does not last as long as an oil cleanser, but that’s not a big deal to me. RP. Took two months to use every day to use up.

Ponds Clear Solution Facial Foam – Got when I was traveling. Simple cleansing foam but a little drying. Has no smell. WNRP. Took two weeks using once a day to use up.

Mary&May Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream – This was my morning eye cream but i recently tried the PKY black tea eye cream and I love that one more. Does help diminish dark under-eye circles and dark spots but it’s not very moisturizing. If you’re looking for an eye cream for lighting this is a great one but if you want a hydrating one this is not good for that. WNRP. Took 5 months using once a day to use up.

Heimish All Clean Green Foam – One of my favorite 2nd step face washes. Low PH, washes clean, and doesn’t strip the skin. RP. Took 2 months of using twice a day to use up, me and my partner both use this so I will say it’s used twice a day.

Panoxyl Acne Foaming Wash – I do not use this on my face but on my body after I workout. Benzoyl peroxide is a great cleanser for helping to prevent acne. RP. Took 3 months using randomly, normally three times a week, to use up.
