December Product and sample empties


A bit late but here are my December empties! I didn't empty a lot of products. However, that's a good thing. I've been on a No Buy for almost six months (from June until Black Friday) and I decluttered my skincare stash. That means I now have less open products = less empties.

Etude House Honey Cera Priming Eye Serum (5 ml. deluxe sample)
I really enjoyed this. It's nourishing and leaves my skin smooth. This is perfect underneath a hydrating eye cream in my AM skincare routine where a thick eye cream is too heavy. It absorbs within a few minutes and it doesn't leave any sticky residue. I purchased full size.

Goodal Honey Pack Cucumber Sleeping Pack (10 ml.)
This was soothing and hydrating. I really liked it but the packaging is just too unpractical - it can't be closed. I will not repurchase.

Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream (10 ml. deluxe sample)

This is my favorite cream to use in my AM routine during the winter. It's moisturizing enough for my dry skin without it being heavy. I've repurchased these deluxe samples a bunch of times because the price/ml is cheaper with the deluxe samples than the full size product. The only downside to this product is that it has a strong, perfumed smell and that the packaging is unhygienic. Repurchased.

The Saem Power Ampoule Hydra
This only contains three ingredients: Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Butylene Glycol. I use this when I want to add some hyaluronic acid in my skincare routine without adding too many other ingredients. It's hydrating and it absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. I store it in the fridge to give it a cooling effect. This was my third bottle and I've opened yet another bottle. This works but it's getting boring - it's time to try something new. After I've used this bottle, I will not repurchase again.

Benton Cacao Moist And Mild Cream
I used this cream during the summer and it was perfect. It was moisturizing enough for my dry skin without being heavy. The ingredients list is nice, it doesn't contain alcohol. It takes a while to absorb but that doesn't bother me because it leaves non-sticky, semi-matte/glowy finish. I will purchase this when the summer time is here if I find it on sale. This was provided to me by the company for review purposes.

Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Hair Protein Treatment
This is a good protein treatment but it's not life changing. It did make my hair look healthier and gave it a beautiful shine. However, the tube is only 100 ml. and it costs $10. That may not be a lot of money to some but I find it expensive for a hair treatment. If my hair was unhealthy and damaged, I might have felt diffently about spending some extra money on hair products but it isn't. I will repurchase if I find it on sale.

Laneige Foam Cleanser Moisture
This foam cleanser was not bad at all but the texture was just thicker than I prefer. It had a pleasant smell of shea butter and it cleansed my face nicely without stripping it. I will not repurchase it.
