EMPTIES | CAROLINE HIRONS | APRIL 2019

[@LaceyDeane]

Please could you do a skincare products video for mid 20s. Can't find what to use anywhere

[@cactuskatee]

Yes!

[@k213389]

I laughed when you said you didn’t want to waste the nice body creams on your feet because my mom uses the Sugar Lemon body lotion I got her for Christmas on her feet. Solely on her feet. She keeps it on her shoe rack. Reason #578 why I’m in therapy

[@CarolineHirons]

Hahahahahaa

[@starkskincare]

This is so relatable!

[@cazfarri]

Thank the Lord for this channel, I've just come from a few videos of Valley girls/boys being vapid. Your voice and sense are always welcomed.

[@zoestone4414]

I have super dry skin and have been using aveeno daily moisturiser for years. Pro tip, there is still a decent amount left after the pump stops working. I just unscrew the lid and use the tube like a spatula to get the last bits out. Even when I'm using it every day I can usually get another couple weeks out of it at least

[@jessaprilp]

Yes! an empties video. Thanks Caroline, not only do I smile and laugh while watching, I also learn something new each time. Smellovision definitely makes me smile 😊

[@CarolineHirons]

Pleasure. Thanks for watching x

[@cousteaugirl6829]

It’s not pharmacy based but I really like the body shop hemp range and especially the face protector for when I get eczema around my eyes. So underrated!

[@susanbuckley9204]

Was buying my favourite L’Occitane almond scrub today and they mentioned they’re doing a refill now for the almond milk concentrate so no more wasting the beautiful glass jar 👍 and they have recycling collection points in a lot of their stores now too.

[@LULLYLDN]

Caroline I’d love to see a Caudalie brand review from you!

[@eleonoradeane5170]

Me too!

[@lucykinski]

And me!

[@leposavatornoreanu3790]

And me

[@momcat589]

FYI, I just finished the KS Goat Milk Cleanser and I loved it. I have rosacea and it was very gentle. I love your videos. You have this warmth and genuine kindness about you that always calms my soul and restores my hope in the world. :) Have fun in the states!

[@kimberlyj.1891]

I knew this was going to be an awesome video when you started off with Jane's Addiction - Heck yes! Please come to Toronto...we need some Hirons!!!

[@desertraindrops9840]

All the help I can get, plus Jesus and the angels!! 😂 That was priceless! Your videos always brighten my day, and keep me well informed. Thank you for such great content, Caroline! 💜

[@CarolineHirons]

Thanks for watching x

[@desertraindrops9840]

@@CarolineHirons My pleasure! I just subscribed to your blog, and am following you on Instagram as well. I'm @desertbeauty21 on IG. Not 21, but I do live in the beautiful Arizona desert. Have a great day! ☺

[@jillyfish72]

Your hair looks particularly lovely today, gorgeous. Thank you as ever for all the info and thorough explanations xx

[@CarolineHirons]

Thank you! x

[@amymowbray8559]

I use the epaderm ointment around my lips, eyes and nose to protect the skin which is easily irritated before using my actives and it works great 👍🏻

[@yvetteshelton534]

Empties are the best, but even better is knowing the die hard products that are tried and true. Thanks CH!

[@CarolineHirons]

v welcome x

[@stephaniecarlisi9934]

Thanks Caroline ... Just spilt my tea all over the sofa headbanging to Jane's Addiction .....

[@everythingsperfectagain8112]

Ok I don’t know how to get it to you but I’m sure you can get it faster since it’s from Italy! The brand “comfort zone” has a line called /skin regimen/ the cleansing cream OH MYYYY GODD! I get tewl with cereve hydration cleanser even. It’s just using water in general but this /skin regimen/ cleansing cream is hands down the best cleanser I’ve ever used it has juniper that makes it smell amazing. It’s beautiful and men love it because it feels like that foamy but creamy cleanser but after you wash it off you don’t dry out.

[@happytx1860]

When you are in the US go to Target & try Raw Sugar Lemon body wash, lotion and/or body scrub. I think you like the products. Have fun. Thanks

[@ninak8506]

Yes good heavens I love the Raw sugar body washes.

[@happytx1860]

It smells lovely and you can't beat the price. Thanks

[@mrsosorio1338]

You always manage to make me smile and laugh. I also wanted to mention that I picked up the KS goat milk cleanser and it is beyond what I imagined. Thank you for your reviews xoxo

[@Bkrubies]

If you like that Aveeno line, they recently came out with a new line - Skin Relief Moisturizing. It’s amazing!! And, if you’re interested in natural deodorants, Megababe Rosy Pits isn’t bad (US only I think).

[@sharonperry8978]

Caroline and fragrances 😂😂😂 I would LOVE to see a video of Caroline touring wherever a fragrance house does it’s scent development......would probably be like a kid in a candy store! Maybe they could mix a fragrance just for her ❤️💐🌹🌬🥥🍊🍋.

[@susanne323]

Loved the intro! I just ordered the Epaderm for my son. He has terrible excema on his hands. I always pick up a tip or two from your empties, thanks. ~Susanne xoxo

Gate Called Beautiful hiya, if you can get out purepotions skin salvation which is award winning 99% natural founded by a lady called Natalie Balmond when nothing else worked for her daughter..

[@lauraturner5611]

Please help! Indeed advice for moisturiser for the chest, decollete area! Should I be using collagen, retinol, aha?

[@alisonstansifer4819]

Just know that you’ve ruined me for music for the rest of the day. Will be cranking that song in the car on the way home from work ✌️❤️

[@CarolineHirons]

It’s the best.

[@Dmoneyrunzit]

🗣 Caroline !!! I ♥️ you!! You mentioned a while back that Murad invisiblur is good for people of color; would love love love more tips 🙏🏾♥️☺️

[@nalaspocketyt]

I love me some Janes Addiction. It was one of the first concerts I ever went to. 😊

[@magnolialk4110]

Lady Hirons does it again! Thanks. 😉

[@shannon6908]

I’m in love with Kate Somerville’s Line release eye cream! I hate my eyes(in a kind voice). I lost a lot of weight during and after my pregnancy with my twins and now my eye area is wrinkly and crinkley. What would you recommend?

[@lucilazwanck2616]

Hi Caroline I want your opinion about Nuface is a current device is to firm the skin, here in Argentina sell Nuskin that is very similar. I don't know if is good or not. I am 42 years old but I notice that my eye lids start to fall. Do you know Paula's choice eye cream? I saw a review that is very good because the cream have retinol and vitamin c. Thank you for all your videos!!! I start to read the book of Kate Somerville! I am a skincare junkie I love it! kisses lucila

[@Primfully]

That intro made me literally laugh out load! You’re so real and refreshing

[@CarolineHirons]

Thanks so much for watching :) x

[@kellystrosnider1273]

Come for the skincare, stay for the obscure Friends references ❤️

[@21972012145525]

I missed it, what was it?!

[@kellystrosnider1273]

s21972012145525 towards the end when she says “like Monica’s hair which can be inexplicable” from The One in Barbados, either part one or part two, but it’s when her hair is huge from the humidity.

[@di3486]

Jane’s addiction just made the whole video a class of its own😍😂

[@catnip4587]

Haven’t thought of Janes Addiction for years❤️

[@susanobrien4380]

What a great video. I really enjoyed listening to you. :) Have a great shop in the states!

[@danielaxx7879]

What do you think of face halo &similar products? How do these impact on cleansing/routines/effects etc? : )

[@wendiev8938]

Great video! You might want to try Oribe Anti-Humidty Spray. Not quite as helmety. I never use hairspray on my somewhat dry, long curly hair, but needed in a pinch last summer when attending a Justin Timberlake concert with my daughter in Philly with sudden unexpected downpours. She insisted I look good for JT. Couldn’t believe absolutely no frizz. Have used repeatedly since.

[@mktruett]

Add to bingo: The “deep smell and sigh” and “cheap as chips” and “knowwhatImean?”

[@scarletholly92]

Soaper Duper is in boots stores now! I work in store, came in yesterday morning saw it and thought of you. The lemon and shea butter scents are my faves.

[@voodoochild7533]

When you come to the US, hit up the drugstores for Vanicream moisturizing cream.

[@Selizabethbb]

I don’t find it moisturizing at all. :/

[@manishakaur8863]

Great video as always! Please do a video on your favourite active serums for all skin categories ❤️

[@susiejackson1962]

Caroline, i notice you have applied the KS eye cream right under the eye. So many recommendations are to put it on the orbital bone. Is it ok to take it right up to the lash line? I have just purchased a load of KS (thanks to your discount code) and the eye cream is one of my purchases so I am eager to know. Thank you for the video.

[@jessicaettinger]

If you're coming to the U.S. I wonder if you would consider trying CeraVe Body Lotion and cream. They are amazing and I think you would love!! xx

[@irenemorfin1]

I love watching your video always hilarious, informative and good content!!!

[@annakeys9090]

Get some Liquid Spell from Davines. Combined with the OI Milk its a winning combination. X

[@kerrymcnab6506]

Our Caroline !! Love your videos x

[@happytx1860]

The color of your hair is gorgeous. Love the blonde. You know why blondes have more fun? ? They are easier to find in the dark. Empties are my favorite videos. Thanks

[@jordannaylor7147]

Hi Caroline. Loving the retinol videos. I had a question I’m about to start using differin and didn’t want to rush in to buy more products is Clarins blue orchid oil ok to use at night with differin or do you think it will cause irritation and dilute it? Also what are your go to day moisturiser when on prescription strength? 😀

[@laurahelene9118]

You are so real and I laugh like multiple times throughout your videos 😂😂😂 What was my YT life before Caroline Hirons??!! Not to mention all the great info. You are just so fun and down to earth and sassy! I love it. If you lived near me I would love to be your friend. Thanks for all your hard work. Btw is the medical grade video coming?

[@laurenwilliams8811]

Another great video loaded with info. Thanks. If possible, could you turn your lighting down so that we can see the products better? This has been an issue for quite some time, but I thought you may have noticed it in editing and rectified it. No hate, just a friendly suggestion. ☺️

[@shanyavirasinghe8591]

Love your hair! And your skin looks lovely 😊

[@CarolineHirons]

:D thanks so much x

[@sarahmellor1461]

Love love your videos! Please could you do a ‘what to get in the US’ haul / blog post for us? I’m going there in September and would love to have some of your suggestions and guidance :) x

[@traceytennant1521]

Hello! Please may I ask advice about post natal skin. It’s suuuper dry from having a baby three months ago when it used be oily as hell. Everything makes it red and rashy aside from Dr Sam Bunting cleanser and a moisturiser the doctor gave me. But it’s still so dry! Is there anything non irritating you can suggest?! Thank you extremely muchly.

[@rebeccasaas700]

tracey tennant Not sure which line but definitely from La Roche Posay, they do amazing non-irritating products and are known to be sensitive skin-friendly

[@OshardHenry]

Here at the gym, listening to this...and let’s just say I could have died! Dumbbells to the face! “sweating like a race horse” made me crackle! I can’t! 😂

[@amarayoga]

I love the Chi thermal spray, you should try it. Until this video, I had no idea you couldn't get Chi in the UK.

[@maiastenger8971]

Hi! I don’t know if this would be something you would do as I am new to this channel but I was wondering if you could review the Tatcha skincare line. Love the content!

[@emmaociee]

Where my fb Skincare Freaks at? You know who you are😎

[@knowler007]

"This is my Duran Duran of mists" Well damn. I HAVE to try it now!

[@soo6087]

Tuberose sheer heaven smell 😍your Jane Scrivner nourishing balm recommendation has started me off and the full range is superb. Wondered as you like essential oils, have you used any other of her oils ie: elixir ??

[@emmalechat21]

The Duran Duran of mists 😂👌🏻

[@MichelleLewis1969]

What do you think about the brand "Good Molecules"? I love your empties. I've picked up things based on your recommendations. Thanks so much!

[@k.d.3911]

I really hope you got some info from the people at Dr Dennis Gross for your remaining retinol videos! I contacted them once about the retinol + brightening serum and they would not tell me how much retinol it contains. I wish brands were transparent about % of active ingredients.

[@Doronica]

Oh yes! I can chill and review my "would need if bank balance wasn't on respiratory aid" list. 😊💗

[@joannarosamendes]

Love the nail polish colour. What nail polish do you use?

[@CarolineHirons]

It's something called Marshmallow I believe - in this video anyway?!

[@Ecb638]

Another great vid.. Could you recommend a low/mid range eye cream (age 45😲) x

[@sajiahanif1217]

Would love your thoughts on expensive makeup brand skincare like Chanel. I was given this sample of a serum that may have changed my life but it’s a whopping 200 dollars USD! Would love a dupe if it exists! It’s the Serum clarite.

[@idalaursen8935]

Sajia Hanif try asking Nadine Baggott The same question. She is delisciouly honest about these dupes and doesn’t like overpriced products but will tell you if a product is worth The splurge - if you are paying for The juice or The brand and packaging.

[@terrance7220]

I just went through 4 horrible horrible acid toners in a row: REN lactic(sticky, foams) liquid exfolikate (sticky, residues, texture not cotton pad friendly) Tarte tingling treatment(OUCH) and Ole Henriksen dark spot toner(what is a glycolic acid without alcohol??) I think I need to visit rescuespa dot com again.😑

[@mirandamidwifeuk8330]

Desperate for advice on sore eyelids and dry under eyes . Rest of face is on the dry side with some hormonal spots but my eyelids are constantly red and dry and under eyelids are wrinkly and dry . I thought sore eyelids were hay fever but hay fever stopped and eyes still sore even after using steroid cream given to me by GP. I am 31. Any advice ? X thank you :)

[@CarolineHirons]

Try Avene. Or LRP Cicaplast lip balm x

[@eirinika4244]

Caroline please do a review on Lumene !have you tried any of their products?

[@medinaazaldin205]

Eirini Ka Hiya! Just chipping in. Love the Lumene Glow Serum. It’s a beautiful ultra-lightweight base with plenty of radiance (no glitter!). A winner.

[@Andreaworthington2023]

OMG I’d love you to check my skin, had no end of dermatologist who have done nothing to help ! Acne after babies and stress but no bloody idea what I am ever doing !

[@jacmacm]

This gets a ❤️ just for the Jane’s Addiction at the start! 🤟

[@CarolineHirons]

[@TheMCvamp]

I was just about to ask if you recycle what you can! Yay!!! Also...you’re coming to the states!!!!!!!! I hope vids are to follow ❤️❤️❤️

[@Olga-hy5gk]

Thanks to your blog I dicovered Zelens. I am big fun of its age defence make-up and its oil which I mix with any moisturizer. Though I had big problem with its eye cream. During first two weeks it was fine but then I just had very unpleasant feeling for few minutes after using it under my eyes. I normally use eye creams with growth factors from Skinmedica or Neocutis and used to very potent creams without any irrittaion. Though I really hated Zelens eye cream, however I am not sure either such unplesaant feeling should be just considered as normal. Don’t you feel some irritation under eyes while using eye cream.? And lastly I would like to ask you about Zelens pads. I still did not try because I am worried about alcochol as one of ots main i gredients. Don’t you feel some dryness while using these pads?

[@CarolineHirons]

No. I don’t feel irritation under the eyes when using eye cream and no I’m not worried about alcohol in acids. :)

[@stephanienichols5912]

Yes to hand eczema products! You may not know the answer to this, but was that eczema product available in the US? I suffer serious hand eczema flare ups, and am always on the lookout for a good product to ease the pain/help keep my sanity! Thank you!

[@CarolineHirons]

I’m pretty sure it will be, or something very similar.

[@baileymueller6017]

Hi Caroline, I commented on your last video about retinols asking about some info I had read. My response was a bit late after you asked how old I was because I live in the U.S. and was sleeping. If you have time I would greatly appreciate another response. I pasted my comments from the last video below: Hi Caroline, I really hope you see this as I have been looking for info everywhere and can’t seem to find any. I was recently considering starting a topical retinoid to help with acne and stumbled across an article that left me confused. It said that retinols cause basal skin cells to divide quicker than usual which leaves less available cells when you get older because we have a finite number of basal cells. Thus, it could end up causing more signs of aging. I can’t find any helpful information about this anywhere but I thought if anybody would know the truth of this topic, it would be you. And this one after you asked my age: I'm sorry for the late response...I am in the U.S. I'm 18 years old. I would be using low strength over the counter options, like those from The Ordinary. I just don't know what else to try at this point. I've used lactic, glycolic, and salicylic acid, at different times of course, but nothing has helped clear the closed comedones on my forehead or the congestion I have around the nose area. Thank you very much for responding to me. You truly don't know how much your blog/videos have helped me to clear up my skin to a point that I at least feel comfortable leaving the house without makeup!

[@janeburke147]

Kate’s products sounds like just what I need but the price is beyond 😩

[@tigercadetsis]

DURAN DURAN OF MISTS 😯 I actually love JR and "tell it on the mountain" as it were. But Duran Duran? That is a compliment indeed.

[@blendedblush]

Only just realised I'm folding flannels the entirety of this video.

[@vra_Tori]

That Kate Somerville eye cream sounds like exactly what I need but it is a little out of my price point. I try to leave my big purchase to my serum/treatment oil step. Would you be able to recommend something similar under $50USD?

[@christine5669]

Take a look at the First Aid Beauty eye cream with retinol.

[@ninak8506]

Don't you love good fragranced body lotion at bed time. I like to wear it for my husband. He'll snug up saying aww you smell so good. Bath & body works Pretty As a Peach is my current fave.

[@brunettemillie3020]

Hi Caroline is the Sarah chapman overnight facial anti aging ?

[@msheartface5288]

Surprised you haven't mentioned CeraVe moisturising lotion dear Caroline 🤔💕

Jesus and the angels. 😇You have a wonderful sense of humor. Love your knowledge but love to laugh too!

[@couscousandhumus]

You can get aveeno on lookfantastic ;)

[@hey.noah.]

As always, I love your videos-you made me addicted to Kate Somerville ;) Probably off topics, but I can't figure out which Jane's Addiction (pun attended..haha) song that is? Help! It's driving me mad :D

HAS ANYONE HAD A SEVERE REACTION TO CERAVE CLEANSER??? MY SKIN IS BURNT!!!!!!! I HAD MODERATELY SENSITIVE SKIN NOTHING MAJOR . I HAVE USED PRESCRIPTION RETINOL IN THE PASSED AND USE GLYCOLIC ETC AND ALWAYS FINE BUT THE CLEANSER HAS RUINED MY SKIN!!! BRIGHT RED AND SORE

[@CarolineHirons]

Ow that’s not good! :(

[@melaniew93]

@cocomerc I have also had this reaction!!! It left my skin immediately hot, red and extremely sore!! Was this from the hydrating cleanser by any chance? I’m desperately trying to find out the ingredient that has set the reaction off as I’m usually fine with cleansers but no luck so far :(

[@kittenisfitok]

@@melaniew93 Yes, from the hydrating cleanser !! I am fine with cleansers but this was awful x

[@kj1480]

I have just started using the said product and I have come out in spots on my cheeks, I have never had this problem, I also use Px. Tret for anti ageing. I'm 48, bit late to start with the spots! Didn't think for one minute it was the CeraVe though. Well you live and learn I guess. So glad I found this thread. x
