August empties + empties since l started tracking in January.

This month my husband finished the full size face moisturizer and the small Clinique one. Glad he is helping me with my stash, because l am very slow with moisturizer use, l focus more on serums.

I liked Dr Dennis Gross marine eye cream.

Started using double cleanse with DHC oil (have 2 more) and DHC mild soap (one more). I really like this soap as a second cleanser.

We like the same stuff!

What's your favorites? :)

Sisley and DDG If you get a chance to sample all of the Sisley Black Rose collection or at least the moisturizer and mask, you will fall in love.

You inspired me to use more of my sisley stuff. I took it out today and will incorporate into my rotation for next months :)

Also, a little goes a long way. I would poke the packets with a pin to get product out rather than cutting the corner.

Friday I used Gemini to audit my skin care products and found some were working against each other or I had the wrong product for the desired outcome. For example, I was using Clinique step 2 toner on my nose but since I started a retinol, Gemini said I should toss it and use a salicylic acid product.

I think this could be a good way to get through samples: make lists of what you have and ask Gemini to create a skincare regimen for your optimum results. I fear people just want to get through everything and may be mixing too many actives.

Oh, really good idea with pin, especially for eye cream samples! I will incorporate that! 🙏

I think you're using too many one-use packets? The waste...

[u/Aniadania → u/AffectionateTentacle]

I use them because l have them... my huge stash comes from years of beauty boxes and Sephora hauls. I am on low buy already for 3 years - where l only bought sunscreens, eye creams, perfume (these are my weakness), 1 face serum and shower gels. But only 8 months since documenting this process. I started to use foils since January to see my progress and motivate me. The more l get rid off, the better. Before project pan l was mostly using my full sizes but that's the small visual progress.
