Wow, has it been a minute (nearly 525,600 of them). My last Empties post was the Empties & Openeds for January 2024. Well, here we are in January 2025, and I have nearly a year of empties to go through, which I’ll be breaking into three parts: toners, serums, and then this — cleansers, masks,Continue reading “2024 Empties Part 1: Mostly Just The Basics”

January Empties and Openeds
I almost wrote that life calmed down a bit in January, which is entirely not true — it featured a perilous trek across two mountain ranges in order to spend two weeks in California — but I did get back on the skincare bandwagon in a big way. My eye eczema DID finally calm downContinue reading “January Empties and Openeds”
June Openeds Reviews
Has my life calmed down? No. Has it stopped raining in Colorado? Also no. Am I managing to make it outside when it’s not? Yes. Am I managing to do my skincare routine more often? Also yes. Because skincare is both a self-maintenance and a self-care endeavor for me, I’ve been trying to make moreContinue reading “June Openeds Reviews”
May Openeds Reviews
This past (non-calendar) month has been (quite possibly) the worst of my life, and so while the first half of May was going pretty strong, as these openeds and last week’s empties will attest, I feel like I could have been doing a lot more on the skincare front. I’ve certainly missed plenty of routines,Continue reading “May Openeds Reviews”
May Empties Reviews
I thought this month would be different: I was doing really good at writing reviews as I emptied products, at the beginning of the month. Then my life fell apart a bit, so this is coming to you a week late, after days of me trying to have the energy and focus to sit downContinue reading “May Empties Reviews”
Lisa’s List: Top-Rated Skincare of 2022 Part 1: Cleansers, Masks, Toners & Sunscreen
It’s that time of year again — when I round up my top-rated (10/10) skincare from the previous year. Last year, this took two posts (Lisa’s List: Top-Rated Skincare of 2021 Part 1 — Toners, Essences, Serums, Creams & Oils and Lisa’s List: Top-Rated Skincare of 2021 Part 2 — Wash-Off Products, Actives, Sunscreen & Other Skincare),Continue reading “Lisa’s List: Top-Rated Skincare of 2022 Part 1: Cleansers, Masks, Toners & Sunscreen”
November Openeds Reviews
Is it halfway through December? Yes. Was I delayed in posting due to birthday and work shenanigans? Also yes. My seborrheic dermatitis flared up again in a big way last month, so I brought some old favorites come back into my routine while busting out some new heavy hitters. About two weeks out from whenContinue reading “November 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”
August Opened Reviews
I am so excited to be back in Colorado right now — but I spent most of my August in the humid climes of Tulsa, Oklahoma. My skincare routine definitely shifted while in Oklahoma, mostly because my entire life routine shifted a lot. Thankfully my skin’s generally been doing pretty well, though the heat andContinue reading “August Opened Reviews”
