January 2025 Empties for Project Pan

Happy February y'all! I had quite a bit of empty products last month. I threw away some before I started to put them back to post about them, but I'll still mention everything!

10 empties for January! Not pictured: a tube of toothpaste, a hand cream that was in my bag, and some B&BW hand sanitizer. Nothing special. TheraBreath Oral Rinse in Mild Mint - It did it's job, but I did not like the flavor I got! I replaced it with the Ice Mint flavor and I'm liking it a lot more. Hair Food Shampoo and Conditioner - First, I'm so sorry they look so gross, they're at the very bottom of my shelf in the shower, so they just collect everything. I'm going to be honest, I only got these because it says it smells like chai. It's a little more coconut forward, but still smelt really good! I probably would repurchase if there wasn't so many other brands I want to try out right now. I replaced it with the MONDAY smooth shampoo and conditioner. Peach Body Lotion - This is from a small business that had a booth at a local market a few years ago and they never had a booth since. It's my all time favorite peach scent. It's so strong and the lotion is so thick and creamy. I'm still working on a body scrub I got from them too. Here is their website. Thayers Toner - I couldn't tell a difference when using it. I just wanted to use it up. I replaced it with the MEDIHEAL pads. If I like those, they are refillable, which I really like. Fresh & Clean by PINK - Oh. My. God. If I didn't have so many other body sprays to get through I would be buying a full size. Its so clean smelling and lasts so long. Revolution x Fortnite Peely Lip Oil - I got it for the giggles, but actually really liked it! I don't think I'll buy any more lip oils though. It was very artificial banana flavored too.

And that's it! I will try to make a post soon about everything I'm working on in February!

January Empties.

I swear January feels longer than 31 days! It just feels like it lasts for far longer than it actually is & this is probably not helped by the amount of my empties this month. There's a lot more than normal!

So without rabbiting on for much longer, I'll start talking about the products. There is also the Elf eye primer empty in that photo, but I've already mentioned it in a previous post so I won't be mentioning it in this post.

Bonnyhill Niacinamide Serum:

I picked this up by accident in TK Maxx when I had finished my previous niacinamide serum. I tend to prefer the ones with added zinc due to me having oily skin. It does make my skin super soft but it is super tacky before applying it. If it had zinc in it I would definetly get it again.

Bayliss & Harding Goodness Sandalwood & Rich Vanilla Shower Gel:

I loved this so much! It smells absolutely gorgeous & it has a very warming scent. It foams well & I loved using it. I would 100% get this again!

Barry M That's How I Roll Waterproof Mascara:

I'm a huge Barry M fan- I especially love their lipsticks & nail varnishes. This however...it's decent. It has a curved brush to curl your lashes but it never did that with mine.

Barry M Pineapple Lip Scrub:

This is very messy! It reminds me of the lip scrubs by Lush but at a fraction of the price. It tastes good as well.

We Love Lip Balm:

This is a pretty good lip balm. I struggle finding a lip balm that leaves my lips soft, but this did it. My main problem is its in a cardboard tube which gets soggy around the edges from using this lipbalm, but it's not much of a complaint & I can understand why they used cardboard (so you can pop the tube into the recycling bin after use).

Collection Mattifying Makeup Fixing Spray:

I got this due to not being able to find the Barry M one. The positives are that it's got a good spray & it keeps your makeup on. However, it smells strongly of hairspray & it seems to have 2 different types of alcohol in it according to the ingredient list. I wouldn't buy it again for those two negatives.

Dr Organic Rose Otto Cleansing Lotion:

I've been using this for years & I was absolutely gutted that I went into my local Holland & Barrett & found out it had been discontinued. However, I saw that my local TK Maxx had it & I got two bottles of it. I love this- it smells absolutely divine (it has a rose scent) & it has a very luxurious feeling.

Ciroa Body Sugar Body Scrub:

I'll be overly honest- I wasn't keen on this. I thought it might foam (it didn't) & the scent was very light. It was gentler than the coffee scrub but I wouldn't get it again.

Head & Shoulders Citrus Fresh Shampoo:

This is just a standard anti-dandruff shampoo. I've found Head & Shampoo's is one of the very few shampoo's that stops my head from being itchy & scabby.

Novaclear Hydro Day Cream:

This was an absolute joy to use! It has a very light smell which reminded me of either honeydew melon or apple & even though it says it is a day cream, it was actually more of a gel formula which felt very creamy when massaging it into my face. It's very lightweight & it comes with a little spatula. Because of how lightweight it is, it wouldn't be uncomfortable to apply SPF on top of it.

The main complaint I have is the packaging- it comes in a huge box with a tiny tub inside so it was a disappointment realising there was less inside. The packaging isn't eye-catching so its fairly easy just to not give it a second look but it is a genuinely brilliant moisturiser.

My Skin Matters Micellar Water:

This is a Sainsburys own brand micellar water & is is just a basic micellar water. It is very similar to the Garnier one but at a fraction of the price. It does claim to remove waterproof makeup, but it didn't seem to really do that.

Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Cream:

I'm a big fan of Soap & Glory. This hand cream helps keep my hands soft & the scent of it actually reminds me of sherbet sweets even though the scent is actually Original Pink.

And that's it. There was a lot of things I used up this month. Have you ever used any of these & what were your thoughts?

Until February (which should hopefully not feel as long as January!) see you all later.

Presentation of the nominees for the Best Actor award… all are filmed while they are at the table and therefore very surrounded.

Very surrounded except for one sitting next to an empty chair…

What is the reason?

- an urgent need to go pee on the rhododendrons?

- the need to powder their nostrils?

- “get out of here, if I win I don’t want to have to kiss you in front of the whole world because you mean nothing to me”

So… your opinion?

I showed my brother the qumblr, and his evaluation was “I feel like they get high, like criminally high, once a week and write like a hundred of these (…) I cannot imagine a sober human being, just raw dogging life, coming up with these. Maybe one or two, but not all of them”
