Product and sample empties October 2017

These are all the product and samples I emptied in October. As you can see, October was a good empties month. I will make a seperate post for sheet mask empties.

Full size products;

Tonymoly Pokemon Hand Cream - Purin

To be honest, I only bought this because of the cute packaging. It was a pretty basic hand cream - lightweight and moisturizing. It's too light for my super dry hands during the colder months to be the only hand cream I use but it has been the perfect hand cream to keep in my purse because it absorbs quickly without leaving the hands greasy. The only con is that it has a strong peach smell. It's not unpleasant but it's very strong. I will not repurchase.

Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch

Both my husband and I love these! They actually work! I put them on my pimples at night when my pimple looks like it's ready to be popped and the next morning all the discusting stuff from my pimple is on the patch. I've already repurchased this a bunch of times and I have several backups.

Holika Holika Aloe 99% Soothing Gel (55 ml)

I bought this in a wholesale deal with 10 of them. I've already emptied the full size (250 ml.) I had of this and now I only have one left of the travel-friendly sizes. I really adore this aloe gel. When my skin is irritated because of an allergic reaction, I store this in the fridge which gives it a nice cooling effect. Stored in the fridge or not, this does a great job at soothing my skin. Another plus is that the packaging is hygeinic. I will probably repurchase it again in the future.

Goodal Honey Pack Cucumber Sleeping Pack (10 ml.)

This is soothing and hydrating. I really like it but the packaging is just too unpractical - it can't be closed. I still have two of these left and when I've used those, I will not repurchase.

Mamonde Enriched Nutri Oil

This is the first time that I've ever tried a facial oil. I mixed a few drops of it in either my serum or my sleeping pack (depending on whether it was my AM or PM skincare routine) to add nutrition. When mixed with other products, it absorbed well into my skin without leaving a sticky residue. It gave me the opportunity the add nutrition to my skincare routine without having to use a heavy cream which was perfect during the summer. My dry skin loved it. The only con is that the PAO was only six months. Even though I used this regularly, I only managed to use about half of it before it expired because I only use a few drops each time. I used the rest on my body after it expired so it wouldn't go to waste. I will not repurchase this.

It's Skin Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Serum

This serum doesn't contain alcohol or parabens. It was a nice moisturizing and hydrating serum that absorbed quickly without leaving any sticky residue. The only cons are that it comes in a glass bottle (this is a con because I'm clumsy) and it has a strong perfumed smell. I might repurchase this.

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Lip & Eye Makeup Remover

This removes my makeup effectively while still being gentle. I bought a wholesale package on Roseroseshop with 10 of these and I still have a lot left. Once I've used them all, I might repurchase.

The Body Shop Aloe Eye Defense

I really enjoyed using this because it was hydrating and soothing. It's just too lightweight for my dry skin except during the summertime. However, if I use Etude House Honey Cera Priming Eye Serum underneath it, I can use it even though the product alone is not moisturizing enough. 

It was easy to spread out and absorbed quickly without leaving any sticky residue. I might repurchase this after the winter.

Missha Real Moist 24 Hand Cream Argan Oil

This is probably one of the best hand creams I've ever tried. It's heavier than the Pokemon hand cream but it still absorbs quickly without leaving the hands greasy. Like with the aloe gel and the makeup remover, I bought a wholesale package with 10 of these hand creams because I've used them as gifts. Once I've used them all and used up some of the hand creams in my stash, I will repurchase.

Etude House Brush Shower Cleaner

Without any trouble, this cleansed my makeup brushes well. It did struggle a little with my beautyblender but after some rubbing, the stains would come right of. The only con about this is the smell. I can't really explain it but after washing my brushes in water, they would still smell of this product. I might repurchase.

Samples;

Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam EX

This was a nice and gentle cleansing foam that left my skin clean without stripping it. However, it did have a strong herbal smell that I just didn't like. I will not purchase full size.

Tonymoly Magic Food Banana Sleeping Pack

This stuff smells amazing - like banana candy. It's nourishing and absorbed quickly without leaving any sticky residue. I will purchase full size.

Tonymoly Magic Food Banana Hand Milk
This is one of my favorite hand creams. It's nourishing, smells amazing and absorbs quickly. I've emptied two full size products of this. I will repurchase the full size once I've used up some of the hand creams I have in my stash.

Etude House Honey Cera Eye Cream Pack
This eye cream is moisturizing without being heavy. It spreads out easily and absorbs quickly. However, the full size product comes in a jar - so unhyigenic. I have some samples left but once I've used those, I will not purchase full size.

Purito Pure Hyaluronic Acid 90 Serum
This is a nice hydrating serum that hasn't caused me any negative reaction - that's all I can say so far. I haven't used it enough to form an opinion about it but luckily, I have 10 more samples of it. I will keep testing this before I decide whether I want to purchase full size.

Benton Shea Butter And Coconut Hand Cream
This was a thick and relatively heavy hand cream. Even though it had a thick texture, it spread out easily. It took a while to absorb but once absorbed, it didn't leave my hands feeling greasy. I will not purchase full size because I prefer my hand creams to absorb faster.
