Ps aiming for 100 empties so that's 2 / 100 for 2024

Does anyone have any experience of ordering from yes style? My HG moisturiser has been out of stock for months and months in the Uk and I'm running low!!

@Fraaahnces I think you order from here?

I have ordered from them. I had no issues. It arrived pretty quickly.

I got my Korean stuff from them as they deliver VAT/duty paid, unlike stylevana. So even though they are slightly dearer, it's cheaper than the fees associated with VAT collection.

That's brilliant thanks @OchonAgusOchonOh

First empties of the year!

Huggies wipes. Staple

Hask purple conditioner for blonde hair. I am not blonde but I loved the smell and texture of this conditioner. Left my hair soft and shiny. Would RP but I have many conditioners in my stash.

Sanctuary spa bath soak. Lovely smell. I Rp on occasion when in offer.

Yves rocher infusion D epices shower gel. Lovely spicy smell reminiscent of Xmas. Would rp but it’s a limited edition.

L’homme ideal Guerlain shower gel. Does the job smells like the fragrance.

Givenchy sample lipstick. Lovely nude colour . very creamy and comfortable to wear. Would buy it.

Sisbela restructuring face cream. Nice texture. It was comfortable to wear , not too thick nor greasy. Would rp.

Baylis and harding bath salts Cherry blossom. Nice smell. Only lasted for two baths. Won’t rp.

Yodeyma Dinara perfume sample. Smells really powdery like talcum powder. I enjoyed it but a full bottle would be too much. It lasts long too.

Forgot pic

@CinnamonCoffee - I would have no hesitation in ordering skincare from YesStyle. They seem much more organised than Stylevana and their parcels arrive much faster. They’re a bit more expensive than Stylevana, so if I don’t need anything in a huge hurry, I tend to order from them instead.

I have some empties to report:

• Ecran aftersun: I got this in Spain - I adore the scent and have been using on and off for years as a body lotion. Will defo RP at some point.
• Nivea micellar water soothing: really liked this although bottle came only a 1/4 full as there was spillage in transit, have a whole one in stash as Superdrug sent a replacement. Best cheapy micellar I have used.
• I heart Revolution love potion bath fizzer: lovely smell and my little boy really enjoyed the suds

My first empties of the year:

Zelens power E serum. Was fine, much prefer others.
First aid beauty hydrating serum. Very average, maybe worse, no effect detected.
Rituals shower gel. Was fine. Not very fragrant.
Benefit fan fest mascara. It was good but dried up very quickly.
L’occitane 25% ultra rich cream. I always like this brand for lotions and hand wash and hand cream.
5/80

@Fraaahnces thank you but would you believe it's now out of stock however I've just placed an order with Sephora as it's saying it's in stock again. It's the Innisfree dewy cherry blossom cream. I spoke about it last year on here and I've never used anything like it. Super hydrating

I love the fragrance of that product @CinnamonCoffee. There is an Innisfree store near me and I wonder if it hasn't discontinued that line. I haven’t seen it for ages.

Oh wow you are super lucky to have a store close to you! I don't think it's been discontiued as it's such a popular product but I think they are repackaging

Sanex roll on deodorant - good enough, would buy again.

Skinnydip Palm Spring perfume - I really tried to persevere with this, but had to chuck half used. I was gifted this and although I wouldn't have bought it, it wasn't bad at all. However I think it had gone off. The last time I tried it I was quite concerned I might smell of cat pee, so as much as I hate to chuck half used things, even I had to get rid of this. Wouldn't buy.

Cien sakura and hyaluronic tissue mask - Fine and great price. Will likely buy again at some point.

It came with a few added extras of course

Emptied a tinted moisturiser and have started a new one.

Does an empty count as an empty if it was nice body wash and DC got hold of it to make cake/potions/tipped the rest out so they can have the bottle for craft?Asking for a friend.

@LolaSmiles of course it does. My body washes are finished earlier due to my DC making bubble potions as well.

@CinnamonCoffee I have a bottle of innisfree Cherry blossom that I haven’t opened yet? Is it too light for winter or it is thick enough to use now?

@Thereislightattheendofthetunnel of the Innisfree moisturiser? It is lightweight but very hydrating if that makes sense. I use it all year round and my skin is dry. It's not a thick cream like some but I find it can work better than some of the heavy creams.

More to add:

Votary sachet: very nice, would happily use it again. Sinks in well and not greasy.
Mark Jacobs perfume sample: it's pleasant but of the commercial type that you expect lots of of perfumes to smell similar.
Dennis Gross stress rescue super serum: love this, it is so gentle and instantly calms skin to a lovely soft texture.
Sanctuary body oil spray: I love dry body oils, would use again once I've got through similar products in the stash.
Penhaligons shower gel: Blenheim bouquet works well for me as a shower gel, light scent.
Aveda colour care shampoo: this is a repurchase, it suits my hair well and keeps colour looking fresh.

9/100

@LolaSmiles huge sympathy - my DD is a potion maker. I’ve a Do not touch mummy’s things on repeat - obviously it doesn’t work.

Yes, that one. I think I will use it once I finish my Olay lightweight lotion that I hate 😫

@Thereislightattheendofthetunnel there's good you are! I've four different creams on the go atm. And a lot more in my beauty stash!!

I have plenty in my stash too, but I get really overwhelmed if I have more than one opened at the same time.

Sometimes I get bored of using only one until I finish it, so what I do is use up little sachet samples that only last a day or two.

I also have some empties:

The body shop spiced orange bath bomb. Got this in 2022 for Xmas. Smells good of orange vanilla and cinnamon. The bath bomb was big and tinted the water orangey. Made my DD happy. I have others in my stash. Would RP.

The merchant of venice cupcake bathbomb. Huge bath bomb that I had to take out and save for another bath. Colours water. I don’t have a picture but it was bought in Costco.

111skin night cream nacy2. Lovely velvety texture. Smells ok. Absorbs quickly and in my opinion it’s very pleasant to use. It was a GWP. I would buy it if the price wasn’t prohibitive.

Fair cosmethics body cleanser. From a hotel. Smells ok. Does the job. It’s not stripping.

Calypso anti bacterial hand hygiene gel. Smelt like cucumber if I don’t remember badly. Hand sanitizers are very drying for me so won’t RP. I have others to use up or use as surface cleaners.

Femfresh soothing wash. Nice texture. Doesn’t sting. I won’t RP as shower gel does the same. I liked the original orange one better than this one.

Fair trade shampoo novotel. Does the job. Onto the next one. I am determined to use up whatever minis I have from hotels as I never bring them out when I travel.

Colgate sensitive enamel repair toothpaste. Terrible. Tastes salty and it’s too minty. I have other seven of them to go through as I bulk bought them in Costco. Expensive lesson learned here. Try something first, then bulk buy.

I feel like I have met my people. This is fascinating!!
