 Hey guys, it's Monica. I am going to actually share with you a few of my empties and a few of the things that I've Recurricist and what I'm still waiting to come in So I don't do a whole lot of empties because I don't usually have a whole lot of empties to share with you But this is going to be two-fold one is going to be in the bathroom here skincare My car, you know, just basically my skin care the things that I that I really really Can't do without basically and the other is going to be in the kitchen and it's going to be more health and diet related stuff So two parts to this video. Hopefully you'll watch both parts So let me first say that the holy grail to my skincare. It's not going to be surprised to anyone is going to be my retin A I always have questions on where do I get my retin A? How much does it cost do I have a prescription and all that so I'm going to link a few of my retin A videos But in summary, I do have a prescription for it. Although I have not filled it I buy my retin A overseas from a pharmacy in India does not require currently a prescription to fill it The prices are amazing for the same amount of treknoy and or retin A that I could buy here locally in New Hampshire Would cost me an excess of three hundred dollars Costs me about six or seven dollars plus. I have to pay shipping, but I don't care in India So the way that I do it is because you are ordering overseas and there is always some risk factor is I would recommend Everyone just check it out extremely carefully before they do anything But I have a separate checking account that I've opened just to buy products like this I pay by each check and I think there's a slight discount I'm not too sure, but as you can see I've completely emptied out My 1% I got this from India. I already have my replacement I've already started my replacement and I have plenty of my other two and I have 0.05 and 0.025 One that I use for my neck one that I use for around my upper part of my eyes and then my 1% that I use everywhere else I have plenty of this left plus they have an unopened one Which unfortunately, I probably won't get to before it expires, but nonetheless This is my holy grail and I'm gonna say goodbye to this tube. This is the second tube I've completely emptied since I started my retina journey which has been Since the end of August September of 2016 just to give you a gauge of how long it took me to get to through these So I've emptied two of them. I have three of them and I have spare Anyways, the other things that I have on order and I'm hoping it comes in because I am like I Probably just have a few days left and this is the ordinary niacinamide. I absolutely love my niacinamide I use it only at night. I you know and I know there's all different Directions and all that stuff that you can follow, but I do not use it at the same time I use vitamin C so use your own judgment on that so use my niacinamide at night and I do it after I cleanse after I tone. I also use this after I drum roll my skin I will put my niacinamide in on and I will let it let it sink in and this is at night and then Typically at night after that I'm going to be using my ordinary buffet. I have a backup of this already This one is pretty low But I have a backup so I'm okay. The other thing that The holy grail item for me has been my bee venom face mask There are some people that say this is a dupe of the bee nigma the more expensive cream I don't believe that to be so because I think there's a slight variation in the ingredients, although I've never used the bee nigma This cost me $5.99 when you are lucky enough to see it. I am almost out It does have a little bit of a Little bit of a smell. I don't know if you can see how low I am I've definitely get pan Has a little bit of a smell, but I Like the smell completely does not bother me at all. I have a backup and I have a spare backup So I'm all set with this for a while But I understand they're they're not selling this that it's not on the shelves anywhere that they're probably going to repackage it And when they come out with it who knows maybe it'll be a much more expensive version of it in the interim I wanted to try I saw this At and some of you could follow me at instagram would have seen this I saw this bee venom rejuvenating night cream a tj max And this was 6.99. So basically it's a dollar more than my bee venom The container is a little bit more fancier. I suppose It does not have I have used it. I just stick the little thing back in It does not really have a smell at least nothing that I can really pick up on But the most important thing thing that people are going to ask me Because my bee venom cream this one when I put it on it stings like all a get out. I mean stings This does not I wish it I wish it did sting, but it does not now little susan Oh, I'm sorry little poet susan from little poet is also a bee venom fanatic like I am And she also loves this is also her beloved and she's been on a quest Investigating and checking out different products and she thinks she found one on amazon that is I think close to the bee make that or close to this one. I'm not too sure But I haven't tried that as well yet But the the holy grail item for me is my bee venom cream So I've got you know, those are my tried and true I definitely definitely need to have it the other holy grail And I've reordered and reordered and reordered is my timeless vitamin c plus c and ferulic acid Will not go without that. I have a big refill size in my freezer I also have the from timeless the matrixal sink six that I absolutely love That is also a bit of the size. I have it in my freezer as well That's my morning routine. So I really really love that The other thing I just want to mention because I'm getting a ton of people sending me direct messages about this is the navia The skin firming soothing This is the concentrated serum As opposed to the cream the serum The cream the cream I believe is readily available. The serum is probably Impossible. I've been told they stop making this or they stop selling this. I have a backup This baby is going to because I just use this for the fat pockets of my eyes It's going to last me forever, but I do have a backup And again, I think like the bee venom when the manufacturer finally comes back out with it I mean, who knows How much it's going to cost and what the repackaging is going to be like So these are these are the things that I've I've run out of the other one that I have to And I should have pulled it out Because my empty is here is my beloved carecrust All gone all gone all gone. I saved this container just to show you I have I'm going to be placing an order I am going to wait because I am trying some lash tonic. I'm doing sort of a little bit of a experiment with carol from the old carol show With this lash tonic So I'm going to try that and I'm going to wait for about two weeks to see if I'm seeing a change And then I'm going to place an order for my carecrust. I get my carecrust the same place I get my retin A very successful so far so I've been extremely happy with it The other thing that I've been very very happy with and it's kind of interesting. I'm going to mention Susan from little poet again She had done in her latest video and she had talked about I guess her favorites from 2017 And she had actually mentioned an al you know the this alpha hydroxy Face cream. I get this from wallgrain studio 35. I guess you can get it Wallgrain you can get it amazon or whatever, but I have been getting this and I've been using this for quite a while However, I haven't been using it correctly. I don't think or at least The way that would make sense to me She Mentioned in her video and it was like wow what an what an idea I get up. I wash my face. I do my sarums And then depending on how peely I look or whatever I put this on put it on And it always seemed kind of weird to me because I would leave it on maybe for 10 15 minutes And then I would kind of like rub it off and it was like I kept saying well I get to try it the other way around so I Started to try it the other way around because it made more sense to put it on before my serums They get up. I wash my face I put it on and leave it on to like 10 minutes and then I rinse it off And then I do my serums in my makeup She was talking about how she gets up and before she does anything else She puts this I guess all over her face And she leaves it on for like an hour And I was like wow and I never really thought of that now her skin is used to it Mine might not be yours might not be but since I watched her video I've gotten up in the morning depending on my time frame Before I've done anything else. I put this on my face smoothly not like white gobs of it, you know just a little bit I put it on my face and um I mean it is It's a very liquid in if you can can you see that? I'll just show if you can see it but anyways, I put it on my face and I I leave it on my face I leave it on my face for like an hour the first time I did it after a few minutes I could feel a little bit of a stingy stingy But nothing bad And so I leave it on my face one morning I did an hour and a half because it was over the weekend and I had time But you know so I'm leaving it on my face for about an hour and then one thing that they noticed is that When I was getting ready to wash it off. I just rubbed gently And it was like a gommage I mean I just rubbed very gently with my fingers and I'm like going Because I was checking to see if it's like dry or what because I was gonna wash my face And it was like what's all that stuff? So I went in the bathroom and had all the little noopy things from the alfie hydroxy cream Just like the gommage it's not all dead skin But it certainly is helping exfoliate that skin And so I stood there and I went all over my face with my fingers gently And my whole Face peeled up with little little beads of the cream gathering up I'm sure there was some dead skin in there, but I thought that was I thought that was the nuts I said wow So thank you to uh little little poet to susan You know for that tip. So now I'm going to move this. I'm going to go in the kitchen. Oh one other thing my primer It only bears to say because I use a couple of different mescaras my it's super hero. I use the essence in the purple I use the essence in the green I use a number of different mescaras and I like them a lot But my primer I already bought it. I the only one I've really used I have tried a few others But the one that he really uses very affordable is my l'oreal. So I do use the l'oreal paris Primer under my you know on my eyelashes before I apply my mascara I don't know if you can see No, I'm not but that's what I do guys. So I think I mentioned pretty well everything That I'm out of like I said, I don't have a whole lot of trash. I am not a hoarder Well, maybe I am but I am a backup buyer. So I But I had run out of my my sunblock And I had I mean I have like six tubes of it left. So When I find a product I really like I just really buy it same thing with my toothpaste I buy this off of either ebay or amazon. So I don't have to worry about running out of this I don't have to it's a multi-level marketing company and I don't have to worry about going through anyone If I don't want to I love this toothpaste. So I am a guest of hoarder in that sense And my beloved australian gold sunblock. Here it is Yeah, all done with this one, but I have plenty of a backup. So I'm hitting in the kitchen guys Hopefully it won't be too long. Maybe I'll have to do a two part on this video. Oh, oh, yeah, and I forgot to talk about this This is carol from the old carol show. She said to get this And I actually did and this is all gone This isn't amchic and what I really like about this says fruze ease moisture battery firm and hold When I kind of take my hair out of my curlers and I'm flexing around with it And I spray it it gives me like Some hold and some body but not so that I can't put my brush through or style my hair or do something with it So I kind of like that. So, I'm sorry. I forgot that
