Year of empties

[Aman]

I've been on a mission to finish every product I have – some half‑used, some never used, some about to finish – and I promised myself not to buy any new item in these categories until they're gone. And the leftover stock was so much that I didn't buy anything new at all.

Product list:

Face Wash / Cleansers
- Himalaya Purifying Neem Face Wash (x2 variants)
- Clean & Clear Morning Energy Face Wash (Berry Blast)
- CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser

Body Wash / Shower Gels
- Palmolive Aroma Absolute Relax - WRP
- Bath & Body Aromatherapy Body Wash (eucalyptus variant) - WRP
- Pears Naturale Aloe Vera Body Wash - WNRP

Oral Care
- Listerine Cavity Fighter Mouthwash - WRP

Hair Care
- L'Oréal Extraordinary Oil Serum - WRP
- Pantene Pro-V Miracles Collagen Repair Conditioner - WRP
- Dove Intense Repair Shampoo (travel size) - WNRP (does nothing to hair)
- L'Oréal Paris Hair Mask (2 tubs) - WRP

Body Lotions / Creams
- Bath & Body Works "In the Stars" Body Lotion - WRP
- Bath & Body Works "Hello Beautiful" Body Lotion - WNRP (fragrance very strong)
- Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream - WRP (holy grail)
- Dove Intensive Cream - WRP (heavy, good for winters)

Skincare (Moisturizers / Sunscreens)
- Dot & Key Ceramides & Hyaluronic Skin Barrier Repair Moisturizer - WRP
- Minimalist Sunscreen SPF 50 - WNRP (leaves white cast)
- Dot & Key Vitamin C Sunscreen SPF 50 - WNRP (does nothing for protection)
- Nivea Roll-on Deodorant - WNRP (found better alternative in chemist)

Fragrance / Mists / Perfumes
- Victoria's Secret Body Mist (small size) - WRP
- Zara Perfume - "Lightly Bloom" - WRP (doesn't stay long, but very summery)
- Body Mist - "A Thousand Wishes" - WNRP (too strong)

Some were really hard to finish, like the Pears body wash - I even used it to wash my clothes. I used a few creams on my body instead of my face, but I didn't let anything go to waste.

Let me know if you want any specific reviews!

How's the Pantene conditioner performing?

[Shashi]

Could you share a more detailed review of the L'Oréal serum and the Pantene conditioner? Also, which hair type are they best suited for?

[Nandini]

How does the Dot & Key moisturizer perform? Did you notice any difference after using it?

[Kamal]

I want that exact Victoria's Secret body mist.

[Chandan]

Wow, that's amazing! If you take all these empties to a L'Occitane store, they'll give you a mini product - one mini for every ten clean empty bottles.

Hey, how does the Pantene collagen mask compare to the L'Oréal absolute repair mask? My L'Oréal was stolen from my hostel, so I need a cheaper alternative.

What's the issue with the Dot & Key Vitamin C Sunscreen SPF 50?
