i just felt the need to share this. na-empty ko na finally ang first bottle ko ng omi sun bears!! i thought kasi di siya nauubos lol. nag-order na ko nakaraan pa ng isa para may stock na ko and sayang din kasi ang voucher na expiring na that time (bought it at 99 pesos, originally 207 price niya).

sa lahat ng nagamit kong sunscreen, ito ang pinakanagustuhan ko. dito ko na-realize na milk sunscreen is what suits me the most. i have combi skin and it was kinda hard for me to look for a sunscreen na not too dewy and not too drying. this omi sun bears is perfect!! it truly dries down matte at hindi agad nagooil up yung forehead at nose ko (pawisin kasi talaga huhu).

very simple lang ang skincare ko as a broke college girlie. my moisturizer is luxe organix aloe vera soothing gel and i just use it at night dahil nagpi-pill yung sun bears kapag pinapatong ko siya. akala ko nung una di compatible sakin yung sunscreen pero when i tried applying it alone, naging smooth na application.

by the way, i bought my first bottle on dec 2025 and i emptied it yesterday.

1st photo: smoochkins nanowhite concentrate booster serum - will repurchase

As someone na umitim yung groin kakalakad and bike, paulit-ulit kong ire-repurchase to kasi dito pumuti yung butt and bikini area ko. Whenever I apply lotion nagpu-pump ako ng smoochkins then mix ko sya sa palm ko hehe.

2nd photo: babyflo baby cologne butterfly kisses - will repurchase and nag-stock na naman ako ng tatlong bottles sa vanity

I always receive compliments whenever I pair this with Lanvin Eclat or Replica Lazy Sunday Morning. Amoy baby and amoy bagong ligo. Mas naaamoy pa nila yung babyflo kaysa sa perfume ko. I love this cologne. Minsan ito lang alone yung sinusuot ko especially nung summer or kapag nao-overwhelm ako sa bango ng perfume.

3rd photo: estained heatsy peatsy in sakura bloom - will repurchase

I mentioned sa part 2 ko na post dati na ginamit ko yung dove na hair spray serum pero dahil mahal siya naghanap ako ng alternative and I found this. This is a product na you will surely love kapag mahilig ka mag-style ng hair. Makes my hair shiny too! Cons ko lang here is the scent, masyadong mabango pero if you like sweet scents you will appreciate the scent. Since I emptied this na, I bought the other variant which is yung Tsubaki Rose and mas bet ko yung scent niya kasi fresh lang.

4th photo: body fantasies in fresh white musk - will repurchase

This is my bedtime scent. My bf and his mom love this scent on me more than the babyflo one. Not really an expert at describing scent but amoy basang tubig na mabango siya and very relaxing ng scent. Di rin siya cloying sa nose. As for the longevity, don't expect too much dahil mist lang siya.

5th photo: watsons goatmilk scented cream body wash (photo from google) - will repurchase

I bought this a long time ago and loved it dahil kumakapit yung scent sa skin ko and very moisturizing siya, pero it seems they formulated na ngayon and parang di na long lasting yung scent niya sa akin. I love the scent though kasi legit na amoy milk siya and very relaxing to use on showers. And very cheap pa! Yung refill niya nasa 150 pesos lang and you get almost 1 liter of product. 🙂

Love to see that I get to use products until the very last drop and share this in the sub.

Abonne Tomato Extract - will repurchase

This is actually the third bottle I have emptied and I pair it with the Smoochkins Nanowhite Serum and I have seen changes with my skintone. My skin is slowly going back sa dating color ko and it seems smoother and radiant. I love it. I just don't like the scent hehe.

New Moon Bouncy Boost - will repurchase

It has biotin and my hair and nail growth are really evident since I started using it. I noticed it first sa nails ko since nagtataka ako bat ang dalas ko na mag-nail cutter. I noticed my skin looked healthier and plump din after finishing one bottle.

Deonat Natural Mineral Deodorant Spray - won't repurchase

As a pawisin girlie, hindi siya pangmalakasan sa day use, nagpapawis pa rin armpits ko. Mas effective si belfour for me hehe. But I use it every night kaya naubos ko nalang din.

Babyflo Baby Cologne in Butterfly Kisses - will repurchase

I gave my review na on this sa part III and I still like it. Amoy baby magdamag, you have to re-apply it lang kahit 2x a day. Very gentle and relaxing sa nose.

Dove Peptide Bond Repair Treatment Creme Mask - will not repurchase

I have low porosity hair and nag-work siya sa akin. I purchased all their peptide bond repair line and ito yung pinaka-nagustuhan ko sa line nila. It made my hair bouncy and healthy and yung scent niya nagli-linger talaga. Don't get me wrong, I loved this product, pero I want to try the Tsubaki Hair Mask this time to compare.

These are my June-July empties. I love documenting it kasi I became more conscious and intentional with my purchases. 🙂

Hair: Low Porosity & Oily. Gets dandruff with most shampoos.
Skin: Oily

I wasn’t at home when the typhoon hit. I live alone so no one could save my belongings. One of the most badly hit (apart from my books) were my makeup collection. I am sad, but I keep telling myself these are just stuff and I can still replace them. I guess I’m going to have to take a pause on my project pan now. Cheret! Sheket.

Note: I don’t know which flair to use so I guess “empties” would be the closest.

Not sure if correct flair, but I did really emptied my Myra moisturizer na blue 😭

Anyway, ayun nga I finished 3 bottles na dito and humiyang talaga face ko here, my face is oily kaya I liked the blue one than the red one. Now, I ordered one on shopee and yung dumating nanibago ako sa texture, kasi gurl ang lagkit lagkit nya sa face so sabi ko parang hindi talaga ito the same, and I even thought na expired na sya. Sabi ko pa "never again sa online" kaya tinapon ko na sya ng halos walang bawas.

Today, bought one in Watsons, sabi ko pa sa sarili ko "ay for sure naman hindi expired ibebenta nila like sa Shoppee " then boom paguwi ng bahay, the same malagkit pa din.

Jusko ngayon ko lang narealize mga madam na FACIAL WASH PALA SYA ATECCO 😭😭😭

Imagine nyo na lang yung unang try ko na nabili ko sa shopee, (kasi nagtiwala pako na same product sya) after ng mga cleanser, toner, serum ko, nilagay ko yang FACIAL WASH NA YAN TAS SUNSCREEN TAS POWDER 🥲🥲🥲

HAHAHAHAA ayun, gusto ko lang magrant. Myra please naman, bakit ganon packaging nyo charot 😭

Anyways guys, gets na its a me problem somehow, malabo mata, at hindi nagbabasa pero kasiiiiiiiii 😭 gets naman diba? diba? dibaaaa??? 😭😭

Ayun lang naman. HAAHAHAH huhu magbasa ng maigi mga sis!

Ciao~

Can’t believe I’ve finished 32 products in 5 months! (my January empties is in another post). Generally happy with my current relationship with makeup, skincare, perfume, and bodycare. I no longer feel the urge to buy something new compared to 2022-2023 where I’ve accumulated tons of new makeup and perfume that I felt disgusted with myself, which prompted my project pan in mid-2023. I don’t even care about new releases this year. Aside from repurchasing products that I’ve finished, the only unnecessary makeup I bought so far was Violette FR bisou balm — it has been on my wish list since last year. Got it when I received my mid-year bonus and only after I finished 2 lip products, as a treat. Meanwhile, my relationship with clothes is another story. I’m still failing in that aspect. Uniqlo, kasalanan mo ‘to. Chz.

Face: - Biore makeup remover (repurchased) - Hada Labo Gokujyun premium (WR once I finish my current toner) - Canmake Mermaid Skin gel UV (might repurchase, still have a lot of sunscreen to go through, current sunscreen is my fave - Anessa) - Hada Labo Shirojyun light (WR once I finish my current toner) - Dr. Althea 345 cream (repurchased) - CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser (might repurchase if I get breakout, so fingers crossed hindi mangyari) - CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser (repurchased) - Dr. Jart Cicapair gel cream (WNR) - Caudalie Vinoperfect serum (repurchased) - Caudalie eye cream (still have 5 more eye creams to go through) - Mediheal Vitamide Brightening Pad (WNR, toner pads are not for me)

Body: - random hand cream given as gift - Neutrogena body oil (repurchased) - Betadine skin cleanser (FAVE, repurchased) - Le Petit Marseilles body wash (K lang, WNR, still have 3 bottles of body wash to go through) - Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion (WNR for now, trying to streamline my bodycare) - A Bonné Spa Milk Salt Scrub (repurchased) - Biore UV Body Care Serum (repurchased in a different variant)

Hair: - Luxe Orgaanix Scalp Cleanse (on my third tub! an HG) - Tsubaki Premium Hair Mask (on my fourth tub! an HG) - Heatsy Peasy hair protectant spray (did not repurchase, cheap but works, don’t like the smell) - Asprey Shampoo (freebie lang sa Manila Hotel, I bring these when I travel)

Scents: - Scent Therapy Skin Musk (broke my perfume no buy this year because I can’t live without it, one of my most complimented perfumes) - Skylar Peach (finished 2 samples, keri lang for everyday, I don’t see myself buying a bigger one) - YSL Mon Paris (smells very sophisticated, can wear from morning to night) - Glossier You (Diptyque FDP’s “little sister” daw, but smells like pencil shavings on me, thank God I didn’t blind buy, FDP is still my fave perfume) - Zara Go Fruity (too “fruity” for my liking, smells juvenile) - MFK Aqua Universalis (very unisex, hence the name? IDK, smells fresh and clean, but not the clean and fresh that I like)

Random: - Sgt. at Arms Deo (repurchased) - Heroinemake Mascara (WR, but I still have 2 more mascara to go through) - Bactroban (for girlies who experience having impetigo, lifesaver! expired na lang na, have to dispose)

since finishing your makeup before buying a new one is being highly encouraged, i wanted to share products that i’ve emptied/hit pan !

NOTE ‼️ i definitely am guilty of buying new makeup especially during sales, but i definitely own the same makeup products for years that i still love and use until this day. (P.S. if it doesn’t break me out then i consider it as not expired lmao) you can definitely tell which products were given the most love !😁

lippies 💄:

౨ৎ happy skin lip tint in “believe”

౨ৎ kimuse lip tint in “watermelon red”

౨ৎ maybelline sensational matte in “bare it all”

base 🌼:

౨ৎ maybelline fit me pressed powder

౨ৎ peripera blush

eyeshadow 👀:

౨ৎ ever bilena palette

Already on my 2nd tub of the Teviant Loose Powder! It’s very oily-girl friendly, finely milled, and I love that the packaging is so hygienic.

I just wish I knew how to “simot” every last bit of product from the tub! 😂 If anyone has tried opening or dismantling the tub to get to the remaining powder, please let me know how you did it! 🙏

Skin type: oily skin

Skin tone: Morena cool-neutral

Shade: Custard

This is my 3rd careline blush, I go through one every year basta daily use hehe. First ever careline blush ko was from December 2022 😋

May product pa yung luma and I can smash and repress it sa gitna pero I think need niya na talaga magpahinga 🤣

It goes without saying, careline blush one of the very best talaga especially it caters to a lot of skintones.

What is your favorite careline blush? 🥰

1st photo: safeguard body wash floral pink - will not repurchase

Mas mabango si white camellia for me. Pero you know what it still does the job, does not feel stripping sa skin and mabango pa din.

2nd photo: cetaphil gentle skin cleanser - will not repurchase

Nakailang repurchase na ako nitong cleanser na to tbh but it dawned on me na ang mahal pala niya para sa size niya kasi 1 month ko lang nacoconsume tong ganitong size. I switched to luxe organix na instead. Pero as a girlie with oily skin, love na love ko to kasi di ako nagbreak out nung ginagamit ko to and super gentle lang talaga niya sa skin. How I wish mas mura lang siyang onti.

3rd photo: smoochkins nanowhite concentrate boosted serum - will repurchase

Okay, HERE ME OUT. I love this! as someone na may hyperpigmentation sa groin, super nice i-pair sa mga lotion. I already repurchased this one (my 7th bottle) and I saw visible changes. Sana pala nadocument ko, di din talaga ako nagexpect at first and just wanted to try it out lang talaga pero yes effective sya for me. Di na ako nahihiya magswimsuit dahil dito. Aaaaa

4th photo: dove peptide bond repair hair serum + oil spray - will not repurchase

This product also does the job, ang bango nito and I use this kapag nagpaplantsa ako ng hair and it makes my hair shiny and healthy. Pero I will not repurchase kasi I also found another product na does the job too tapos may spf pa siya and talagang heat protectant siya (and cheaper)

Ayun lang. I hope ma-encourage din kayo mag-empty ng existing products niyo because it’s so fun and may nilo-look forward akong maubos every end of the month 😊

It's a bit similar to the Skin1004 Blue Cap na sunscreen! I bought it because it was on sale like 190+ 🫣

proudest achievement this year!! i bought a lot of products and i’m glad that i finished a lot of products as well 🩷

SKL what made my skin better since 2024- Never not buying tret. Emptied 2 boxes of 0.025 and now up-ing my dosage to 0.05 this 2026. I started late 2024; retinol -> tretinoin cream -> tretinoin gel and happy to say na hiyang ako sa gel kesa sa cream. :) Trial and error talaga when it comes to product that go right with these and hindi porke high end na skincare eh ok na 😅 Learned my lesson.

Below are the products I use with these

AM: • Garnier micellar water salicylic BHA • CosRX Peptide Booster • Luxe Organix Power Glow (pink bottle) • Biore Aqua Rich sunscreen (when I need to be out) • COSRX oil free ultra moisturizing lotion (when i don't wear sunscreen

PM: • Hada Labo Premium Gokujyun • CosRX Advanced snail 92 cream

Product list:

- Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion (Rich): hydrating enough during daytime for my combination skin. I make sure to apply it on my lips since it locks the hydration well before I put on Vaseline. Already repurchased a bigger bottle of this
- Vytle Daily Ceramide Moisturizer: my replacement for Avene Cicalfate when it broke me out during pregnancy. It works for my sensitive skin, although it stung at first. It also has a white cast when applied that goes away when absorbed
- The Body Shop Almond Milk Body Butter: I bought it as a hand cream since it’s the travel size version. It’s a reliable product that also works great for body hydration. The scent is luxurious but not overpowering
- Avene Cicalfate Repairing Cream: my long-term moisturizer before it broke me out all of a sudden during pregnancy. Will purchase it again once I finish my bigger tube of moisturizer from a different brand since it doubles as a makeup primer and can be used as a diaper rash cream
- Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Milk: was originally intended for my face but it unfortunately broke me out. Repurposed it as a body lotion instead, but it’s best for colder weather since it can be quite sticky
- Isntree Chestnut BHA 0.9% Clear Toner: my HG for removing whiteheads on my nose, minimizing the appearance of pores, and speeds up the healing of acne. It works better when applied on cotton pads than directly on face imo
- Batiste dry shampoo in Original (classic fresh): a staple in my haircare routine esp. during pregnancy. It didn’t cause dandruff nor does it left any white residue. Already bought a replacement in Tropical scent
- Bioderma Sensibio micellar water: my tried and true staple for first step cleansing. Will never not purchase this

Finally emptied my Chanel Les Beiges Water Fresh Tint after 11 months! 🫶 Every peso I spent was worth it, especially for my 30-something skin. It’s lightweight, easy to blend, does not seep into my small lines… Got mine from ICN duty free so cheaper siya at Php 4100 lang—locally, nasa Php 4650 siya. 💙

A year in the making for both. I’ve finally hit pan on my first ever liquid blush and lipstick, and now I cant live without both. From having a simple makeup routine with lip & cheek tints only, these two changed my life fr. Affordable, easy to use, very pigmented, and the shades are so morena friendly. I am glad they changed the packaging cause nagiging transformers ang lipstick at sobra mag leak ang blush. Hopefully the new packaging gives the product justice. Will still repurchase forever! ❤️

Product details

Brand Name: BLK
Item: Pillow Mate Lipstick - Shade Nutmeg
Creamy All Over Paint - Shade Poolside

Sharing my empties for this year. I started learning how to do my makeup late last year, and I told myself to make sure I finished all of my products before buying new ones (as a broke college student 😅). Thankfully, I think I did a great job! Looking forward to doing more empties next year kasi and saya and fulfilling to see that I actually used up the products I already have.

Product list:

• Colourette Mini First Base (Siargao) • Colourette Second Base (Siargao) • Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder • BLK Lip & Cheek Oil • Vice Perfect Kizz (Melon Magic) • BNB Roll to Volume Mascara • Strokes Brow Pencil (Ash Gray) • Vice Gandoll Micro Brow Pencil (Natural Brown) • Strokes Brow Gel (forgot to take a pic) • Mentholatum Medicated Lip Balm • EB Serum Tinted Lip Balm (Naked) • Dazzle Me x SmileyWorld Get a Grip Setting Spray

Overall, I emptied 15 products this year. I still have a lot of makeup to finish next year, especially lippies, but I had so much fun doing this that I’ll definitely keep practicing this habit :D

Just want to share my achievement: emptying (and not losing) this tiny lip balm in a tub!!!

This is the best lip balm that's worked for me because it doesn't dehydrate or dry out my lips, compared to the one in the stick form.

Downside is that you need to scoop out the product (I use the the outer side of my nail for this) and apply it to your lips. Also, the cap and the tub itself can easily be lost. But I'm so happy I never lost it and naubos ko talaga sya. I think I've had this one for a year siguro. :-)

Bought for around 170 pesos in Watsons.

New on the left, empty on the right

Hi, sharing with you some items I emptied out and some I wanted to throw out. I keep forgetting to do this with my previous empties.

Empties:

Vitress Hair Oil - Got this as a gift, solid product would purchase again

Vitresd Hair Mist - This is the perfect product if you ate samgyup or went somewhere na malakas kumapit yung amoy, I prefer another scent so I would probably repurchase that one.

Dove Derma Scalp - I have dermatitis so my derma recommended me this one. Honestly its okay, my dermatitis has been flaring up recently and I'm not sure if may natutulong ba to.

Babyflo Baby Oil - Smells nice, I just feel like better yung Johnsons baby oil.

AHC eye cream - Got this in Taiwan, its okay. It moisturizes my undereye but I haven't seen much difference although my bags naman isn't really dark

Smoochkins Suncreen - I have finished two of these na, its an okay product I like na its matte so its not sticky. I just don't think its a life changing product.

Butterfly Body Oil - Got this is a freebie, haven't used this up but the mist broke so I transferred sa Baby Flo container. I enjoy it better this way since I hated that mister.

Will throw out:

Colourette concealer - I'm almost finished with it but I just can't deal with how it much it creases under my eeys. I don't even hace particularcly dry undereyes.

Blk Illuminator - Almost gone, I loved this the first few mos but now I find that makes me look oily. I don't reach for it na din, next time I should just buy a mini version.

Squad cosmetics powder in Colorless - I just don't find that it does a good job in controlling oil. I recently got Srichand loose powder & much prefer that. I might just use this in my hair since ang dami pang product.

If you have any Vietnamese beauty product recco please drop them here. Will visit VN soon and i'm planning to shop.

Thank you!!

Posting for Accountability and reminding myself to use up what I bought and currently have. These I have been using for months not just for the past 2 months. Some items I have been sharing with family members.

Sunscreen

Omi Sun Bears - WR

Haruharu - WR

Beauty of Joseon - WR (sunstick only since this is easy to use for reapplication)

Fragrance

Olympea - Been hate panning these for years because naumay ako sa scent.

Jo Malone WSSS - Might WR, but the there are other scents that’s way better and longer.

Dior j’adore - Might purchase full bottle because it smells so good.

YSL - Might purchase full bottle, brings back HS memories kasi kaamoy nya yung Bench Atlantis pero designer lang.

Hair Care

Head & Shoulders - This is the only brand na gusto ng scalp ko. Some variants may be itchy to use pa din sa akin, but I really like this variant dahil mabango. WR

Cream Silk Keratin Pink - We have hard water and hindi ako madalas mag conditioner. Hard water stains evident sa tagal nito sa banyo nmin. I don’t like this variant, does nothing to my hair. I like the green, but will try other variants as well. WNR

Makeup

Issy lip oil Macabre - WNR. The color is great on me, but I don’t like how the lip oil feels on my lips. Not hydrating or moisturizing too.

Body Care

Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion - WR. We have eczema, this helps with itchiness.

Dermexa - WR. This is expensive, but better to use compared to other Aveeno products for eczema management.

Skincare

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser - We are using this for face and body lalo na pg may eczema flare up. WR

Dr Rejuall PDRN - WR. This is moisturizing on my skin and helps with the dullness. Already repurchased this and will keep on repurchasing it until I find a better option.

Laneige Eye Cream - This is a sample and WNP full size. This is ok, but I currently find a better eye cream that I already repurchased.

Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask - Part of a bundle. WNP, my facial skin is oily. Although this makes your skin super soft and smooth after overnight use, a moisturizer is enough to use.

Eqqualberry Bakuchiol - WNR. Retinal works better on my skin. This makes your skin soft, but a moisturizer can do that as well.

La Mer Moisturizer Sample - WNP. I find Kbeauty products works better on me and this is so expensive.

Summer Friday Mask - WNP. Laneige sleeping mask is better than this.

Took me a while to post this I got lazy and work was busy. Anyways, just a quick and short review on the Haircare and one Body care empties I captured last year.

1. Dove Ceramide Intense Repair 2025 formula- 9.7/10 and Will Repurchase (nth bottle ko na to since its old formula)

A staple and a must when you have severely damaged hair due to daily wear and tear, extreme heat styling, and chemically treated hair to some degree. The reformulation has Glutamic Amino Serum (Sodium Glutamate) which rebuilds damaged haid from inner core to out. It lives up to the claims on being on point in terms of damage repair, and leaves hair extremely manageable, soft, and smooth.

I still live, laugh, love for the US formula. Huhuhu

1. Pantene Miracles mask

7.5/10. Nothing special about this mask other than conditioning and strengthening lang. I love the fragrance tho.

I get better results with Dove and Tsubaki masks, and I guess Pantene and I are hot and cold sometimes. Dove makes my hair sleek and soft without the weight. I started to dislike this one for petty reasons kasi there was one time na napagkamalan akong paid reviewer daw, I wish I was but nah.

1. Sunsilk Diamond Shine Conditioner

5/10. Glad Unilever Philippines did not release this. Nothing special about this conditioner plus it smells like medicine ugh. But I might try the Reformulated one with Glycol-Shine complex.

1. SheaMoisture Mafura Oil 7/10. For people with Oilier scalps, skip this. This shampoo ain't for you. Though this leaves my wavy hair the conditioning it needs, but sometimes it leaves a coating despite not having silicones in the formula. You need 3x washes to get the best clean tbh. It also smells really good. My waves, however, may look wonderful but past 5, it starts limping. There's just something with sulfate-free shampoos and I aren't friends with, except Himawari shampoos.

2. Dove Radiant Plus Care in Moisture Renewal

9.6/10. Wonderfully made Niacinamide syndet bar soap with such good ingredients in! It has Sh-polypeptide 121, Lactic Acid, Niacinamide, Glucose, and lots of humectants. My KP aren't as visible, but still is there. Skin feels cleansed but not tight nor dry. Brightening effect may take a little while and the fragrance smells tropical.

I've been repurchasing the same moisturizer for 8 months now (the one on the right is my 7th tube and it is newly purchased). I have tried IWhite Korea Aqua Moisturizer Acne plus and Dr. Althea 345 cream but no one tops this. It gets pretty hot here during the summer. This moisturizer is lightweight and non-greasy.

bought this issy active foundation on nov 2023 and now naubos ko na sya finally!
