April Empties Reviews

It feels like I was back to my old tricks in April, with over 10 empties. You would think that would mean a complete routine overhaul, but my routine is so long that you would be wrong. That said, while I spent April focusing on getting back into skincare (sometimes work wears me down, andContinue reading “April Empties Reviews”

March Empties Reviews

Ahhhh how is it April. Travel and a director-level job has taken a lot of my attention, even from simply doing my routine, which is why I almost certainly should have more empties this month than I do. I find myself shifting away from having a true routine and more towards just using what IContinue reading “March Empties Reviews”

February Empties Reviews

February went by quickly, as it is wont to do. My face largely returned to normal, after January’s upset, but an eczema/psoriasis/I’m-secretly-allergic-to-my-dogs patch on the back of my neck caused problems. My empties tend to come in waves, with some months being all about serums, others about toners — this is a serum one. Here’sContinue reading “February Empties Reviews”

January Empties Reviews

After a relatively slow empties month in December, January was back to the old me in a big way — though I’m trying to NOT “one in, one out” this month, so expect fewer openeds reviews next week. My seborrheic dermatitis came back this month, in part, I suspect, due to one of the productsContinue reading “January Empties Reviews”

December Empties and Openeds Reviews

I usually break empties and openeds into separate posts, but there were fairly few products going into and coming out of my routine in December — the focus of the month was definitely on my Sheet Mask Skincare Challenge, wherein I did a sheet mask, well, every day. Grouping these posts together will also helpContinue reading “December Empties and Openeds Reviews”

November Empties Reviews

November was supposed to be chill, but it was not. It’s one of the more stressful months of my life, thanks to my job, and my seborrheic dermatitis flared accordingly. It likes to hang out around my nose, and was red and itchy and ouchy. I did not love that, and it was super frustratingContinue reading “November Empties Reviews”

October Empties Reviews

How is it already November? October flew by, but I racked up plenty of empties as I spent the increasingly longer evenings on increasingly elaborate skincare routines. (One of these days I should share my whole routine and allow myself to get dragged, but you can probably intuit its length based on these monthly reviews.)Continue reading “October Empties Reviews”

September Empties Reviews

Lots of minis this month! The theme of September was definitely traveling: we came back from Tulsa, spent a week at home, then went to Crete for a week and a half for our fifth wedding anniversary. (This is also my excuse for my bad posting schedule. Hopefully October is calmer. So far all signsContinue reading “September Empties Reviews”

August Empties Reviews

This month is a bit all over the place in terms of empties. I blame the change in life routine leading to changes in skin routine — waking up two hours earlier every day, lacking access to creature comforts like my bathtub or even reliably consistently hot water, and just being in a hotter, moreContinue reading “August Empties Reviews”

July Empties Reviews

July was one of the more wild months of my life, which is why this post is coming to you not one, but over two weeks late (I always target empties for the last weekend of the month). It was also an unprecedentedly hot and humid July in Colorado, which did a bit of aContinue reading “July Empties Reviews”
