My Empties of 2017

The year is coming to an end now and of course, I emptied products this year.

Some of these are almost finished, like a couple more uses and then they’re done, I don’t have expired products, as this is my first year with k-beauty. Anyways enough babbling, let’s get on with it.

Nature Republic – Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

This lasted me about 3 and a half months, it was awesome for summer, as its lightweight and it was really moisturizing. As fall came in it just wasn’t as moisturizing as my skin needed. I want to try other lightweight moisturizers when summer comes around again.

Despite that, this was a pretty good product. It does have alcohol so if you have sensitive skin I wouldn’t recommend this.

Price

$8

Pros

  • Good for summer/Lightweight;
  •  Really Moisturizing because of the aloe;
  •  Cheap and Lasts a long time.

Cons

  •  Alcohol;
  • Not enough for drier and cold weather.

Dear, Klairs – Rich Moist Foaming Cleanser

This cleanser is very gentle to the skin so I would highly recommend it if you have sensitive skin. My skin type at the moment is more combination now due to the summer heat but it still works well for me. I feel as though I get a really deep cleanse all the way to my pores (and we all know I need that). Because of that, I feel as though this cleanser is perfect for all skin types.
I think this is one of the very few cleansers whose claims are actually true. This is gentle and I don’t have that tight feel to my skin that most cleansers leave. While this cleanser is moister than others, I would still use an emulsion or moisturizer afterward.
The only con I have with this product is that it has a strong tea tree scent that I know some people won’t enjoy. I initially didn’t like it but I got used to it.

Price

$20

Pros

  • Extremely gentle cleanser (perfect for sensitive skin)
  • Moisturizing (great for dry skin)
  • Deep cleansing to pores (good for oily skin)
  • Doesn’t leave skin feeling tight
  • Simple ingredients, no parabens, alcohol, or artificial ingredients
  • No animal testing!
  • Great for all skin types

Cons

  • Strong tea tree scent may bother some people

ByWishtrend – C21.5 Serum

This was my first vitamin C serum, I treated this thing like a baby, it was either in the fridge 98 percent of the time. It lasted a really long time, about 4 months, and it was on its last legs, but then the rest oxidized. I wasn’t really mad about it because there was just a tiny bit left, I could hardly reach it with the dropper. I’d repurchase after I try other vitamin c products.

Price

$25

Pros

  •  Really brightened my complexion
  •  Helped with Acne scarring
  •  Didn’t oxidize fast

Cons

  •  High Maintenance

Dear, Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner

This toner is the perfect example of the products I live for, and the reason I became so obsessed with K-beauty- the hydrating layers. I truly believe it’s these types of products that have given me the healthy, happy skin I’m proud of today. The toner is a perfect addition to my hydrating routine, and suitable for all year round. My skin isn’t particularly sensitive, but I can see this being a nice calming option for those who do.

Price

$18

Pros

  •  Super Hydrating
  •  Lasts Forever
  •  Reasonable Price(Still a bit pricey)

Cons

  •  Citrus Peel and Lavender Oil
