EMPTIES | CAROLINE HIRONS | FEBRUARY 2019

[@pikachuiswatchingyou]

I don't have a valentine but I have a caroline.

[@lindaash-smith1614]

Just a tip or two concerning package access: When you have a large jar of mask you need to use in the shower use a spoon and scoop some out before you get in the shower. I set it down on the edge away from the spray and grab it when I need it. I never stick my fingers into any pot of products. I have a few small plastic paddles and spoons that I have saved from sampling gelato that I use to obtain what I need from pots of products. They can be cleaned and I use alcohol swabs on them as well. This keeps you from contaminating products and I find I waste less product as well. I hope this is helpful!

[@jillyfish72]

"May the force be with you" thank you XX and also with you Mrs

[@katiemolloy3303]

Cup of tea in hand, boring paperwork to do and another fabulous video from Queen Hirons, certainly making my Friday morning brighter!!!!

[@martynkal.1248]

"My face is a bit like a Monet at the moment, not too bad from a distance but up close..." is hands down one of my favorite quotes you have blessed us with 😁💕

[@lli_loue]

all alone for Valentine's Day and my favorite video form my favorite you tuber comes up !

[@edinburgh33]

Same here 🤗🤗🤗

[@Geordie_Chloe_]

Your not alone on this one!! ❤️

We will be alone together. Happy Valentines Day!

Just when you think Caroline couldn't be anymore perfect, she puts a star wars line in. My day is made, thank you very much!

[@kimc555]

A ‘Thursday night but it feels like a Friday Bec it’s a ProD day for the kids tomorrow but I still gotta work’ Caroline video - just what I needed. 💞

[@Lashlove16]

Caroline ‘s empties are GOLD

[@leanneeakins8405]

Anybody elsw think Caroline had put the siren sound (6:14) on as a warning for the retinol product?...no, just me then? Ok !! Love me a good thorough empties update 😀

[@happytx1860]

The next time you are in the US go to Target & buy Raw Sugar Lemon body wash & body scrub. . The body wash is 6.99 for 25oz &` the scrub is 12.99. I know you like the Fresh Lemon Sugar this is less expensive & smells lovely. The whole Raw Sugar line is very nice. You're the best. Thanks

[@claremcivor430]

Your skin is literally glowing!!!!! Looks so healthy that retinol is obviously working x

[@Annalovesautumn]

Describing motherhood as having "..grown four humans in your body" is oddly sci-fi and amazing

[@lifewithlynsey]

As always loved this video. Had a major shite day and to cheer myself up...popped on Caroline. Felt better and learn stuff. Love from Glasgow xxx

[@sarahmunoz14]

Head and shoulders makes a wonderful co-wash (no surfactants) for textured hair that is very conditioning and smells lovely (almond and coconut). I use it when I wear my hair curly and it's very detangling. It still has the pyrithione zinc for dandruff just no bubbles.

[@narora1026]

Also! In the UK, Weleda is sold in Holland & Barrett - I’ve just ordered the lip balm and body skin food on their buy 1 get 1 half price offer!

[@ladypurple8464]

You are so informative and knowledgable and you always deliver us good information in a fun easy way. You are very relatable and i always learn something new from you. Best of all you always make me laugh. Have a wonderful weekend🌻

[@cj2108]

Hyaluronic enhances penetration of actives into the skin. As the stuff gets down trough the top layer, it goes obviously trough extracellular fluid. And researchers have seen that HA does help with this process. So having been using retinol stuff, it becomes more potent when skin is boosted with hydration in between cells.

[@ChloeGhorbeh]

I watch your empties videos religiously although I don’t think I’ve commented before. The unexpected siren was a hilarious twist lol! Thank you always for your reviews and recommendations

[@onionhead4090]

I love love Josh's spray... its so amazing. "Retinoling" .... a new verb.. .you go girl.. sounds like a candidate for word of the year.

[@amiimatthews1996]

Love 💕 could you do a video of all the skincare products Ava uses or a video about younger skin?

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

Thats a fab idea!

[@coffeebeforemascara]

Fabulous video. Love watching empties. I cannot wait for the retinol series

[@amandavincett7409]

Brilliant video as always Caroline. Really looking forward to seeing your retinol series. I've just started the A+ Sunday Riley. Have a good weekend xxx

[@angelauk4]

I so hear you on the packaging that is frustrating. Same with the Percy & Reed shampoo and conditioners - great product - comes out of bottle at about an ounce a minute at best! x

[@amixeblu]

If you want a good alternative for the Garnier body lotion, the Nivea dark blue bottle body lotion is *amazing* - I have been using this for decades. It says for "very" dry skin, but don't believe it. I have normal to dry skin and it's just enough!

[@ellibee24]

FYI All the Aussies 🇦🇺 out there the Emma Hardie Moringa cleansing balm is available from TVSN

[@Pamela-ly4tg]

Empties are one of my faves. CeraVe has a really good body lotion, leaves skin feeling silky smooth. Need to have a look for the Hask Cactus Water, haven't seen that one in my local Superdrug.

[@meghanm4734]

Hydraluron was great for my tattoo when it was in the dry peeling itchy stage. Magic stuff!

[@dmlkcs8620]

That Emma Hardie cleanser is my holy grail face product ❤️❤️ I love it so much, I use it AM and PM. Thank you Caroline for telling us about it!👍

[@sammybooyens2249]

"Jim will use whatever I tell him to use so that's fine" choked on my tea

[@froncifresh]

The internet has ruined the word "tea" for me, so i never know if people are talking about metaphorical tea or actual, physical tea 😂

[@sammybooyens2249]

@@froncifresh real tea! From a tea bag! No, that doesn't help... Breakfast blend!

[@lilacnana]

I always like your empties videos. Keep them coming!

[@saragordon6006]

Hi Caroline, Garnier body lotion is currently on offer in Morrisons supermarkets. Good luck hunting it down!

[@ninarivers]

Love the lanolips, when I was on roaccutane it was the only thing that saved me. That and the La Roche Posay cicaplast lipbalm (I think thats the one). Both absorb and soften the skin, rather than just sitting on top like a waxy film. Always always have one in every handbag, coat pocket etc. I like the sound of the Weleda one too, I'll have to try that next!

[@aniabew6208]

„My face Is like Monet...” love that. You’re videos are as entertaining as informative - thank you!

[@beckyshaknovich7554]

Living proof is a great brand. I have been using their no frizz line for well over ten years. I would definitely recommend trying any of their products.

[@karenakers8508]

Great as usual Mrs. Hirons! Love your honesty.

[@jjadot2418]

Forever grateful for your introduction to that Murad moisturizer. Wonderful product ✨✨😍😍✨😍

[@saleikaWydryk]

This was as always a real treat. I’m also all about the lip balms and glosses. Love the Kopari original with no colour. Love Drunk Elephant’s Lippe Balm. I’ve got my husband hocked on it. My next two are both from Milk Makeup. The Kush lip balm in “Green Dragon” and the kush lip glaze.

[@annotherme7954]

I don't know if you'll adress it in your upcoming retinol series, but if you avoid the nasolabial area and your neck, how do you proceed to "treat" them? Do you wash your hands and apply a specific serum/moisturizer on those areas, or do you wait for the retinol to do its thing before going over everything with the rest of your routine?

[@bectinha]

I was thinking 💭 the same

[@eleshaandrus1882]

I've seen people mention Weleda skin food and La Roche Posay cicaplast b5 baume for barrier sort of balms, but I'm sure she'll try to address it!

[@annotherme7954]

Alright then ^^ thank you for the info!@@eleshaandrus1882

[@MeMe-xv2hs]

Ann Otherme the only areas I avoid is around my eyes. Once the tretinoin is dry I apply isclinical pro heal serum and then Cicaplast baume. I’ve tried so many expensive moisturisers and none of them keep the irritation away like that does. I still get the exfoliation benefits but without any redness etc. It’s so cheap, £11 for 100ml. I would start there before buying anything “premium”.

[@annotherme7954]

That's good to know! Thank you for sharing :) I've used prescription strength before, but the formula didn't agree with my skin (mineral oils break me out), so I've mostly been using milder products so far (oils, granactive retinoids..). Those don't irritate my skin at all, but since I'm planning to up my game, knowing how to avoid irritation as much as possible is key! Thanks again ^^ @@MeMe-xv2hs

[@Chantellejaggjagg]

You’ve just made my valentines 👏🏻👏🏻 I was just telling my mum this morning how your empties are my favourite videos of yours! ❤️

[@Pamela-ly4tg]

I have had to ditch cruelty free CeraVe body lotion, my skin is crying out for something more hydrating, going to try your fave Garnier one, Superdrug have it on buy one get one free xo

[@innan.599]

In germany u get this body lotion for 2.65 eur at almost every store... Maybe u ask somone to send u some :) shipping is not exectrimely expensive to uk either.

[@r0ber00o]

Could you do a video on Differin in your retinol series? also thoughts on Isotrex being discontinued? i know it's harsh but it really noticeably helped with my acne.

[@rachelgrubbs]

She did about 5 minutes on it in her March 2017 faves and also did a blog post www.carolinehirons.com/2017/03/differin-gel.html

[@jaffa17]

‘And if that is you, you have my every sympathy, may the force be with you’ On a train home from work, this made me laugh so loud I got looks!

[@Julia69016]

I love your humour in this vid, it felt so calm and peaceful. I'm not caffeinated, so I guess that's why. We synched🌷

[@nadineadam4285]

I always look forward to your favorites. I do wish we could get some things that you mentioned here in the States. Wondering what Nail Polish you are wearing, It is so pretty. Thanks. XOXO

[@chrissieasmith]

Stunning! I just had to buy the scamp and dude sweatshirt after seeing this! Thanks Caroline 🙈

[@deniztahmaz4554]

I know I am late to the game but I just got your double cleanse for myself as a birthday present and I AM LOVIN IT

[@KatHorrocks]

I had to get the lighter Garnier lotion (the mint green bottle) and it's just not as good as the red one. 😫hopefully I find one this weekend!

[@jenniferwalker3630]

Hi Caroline! Do you think product really expires or should be used within the months listed on the packaging? Example: indeed Labs Hydraluron serum shows 6 months......🤔

[@jenniferpillot9003]

Love, Love, Love your top the color the print and I even like the neck line :)!!!

[@jomali9143]

Thank you I am in Texas so I ‘ll have to go online:)

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

Hask seems to have gotten rid of the superfruits and the kalahari melon at superdrug, so i've bought the cactus ones, I hope its enough

[@classicamity]

Always curious about the Maple Leaf emblem on the Garnier lotion - looks Canadian but I can never find it anywhere in Canada!

[@lizalaska5084]

Love hanging out with you on the tubes. Bumble and Bumble is a favorite brand of mine. Love the (h)air dry product.

[@kyoungbare]

Haha!! H&S is all my old school husband will use(don't remember him ever having dandruff) LOL GOT TO try that DCL body lotion(for us older gals-sounds fabulous!!)

[@Future-zx9ts]

My neck would light itself on fire if I put rx Retin-A on it! 😂 I’ve found a great alternative is the Jordan Samuel Etoile oil (with Retinol) and the Kate Somerville Dermal Quench with Retinol. I find that my sensitive neck can tolerate these two really well!

[@re555]

The sirens 🚨 😂 always... reaction gold ⭐️

[@MartellKayla]

Curious if you can recommend an SPF that won’t pil on the skin 🤔 I’ve tried a few and I’m wondering if I shouldn’t apply my moisturizer first!

[@allaboutdaniel]

6:10 - uncomfortable during harsher retinol days... SIRENS goes off LOL i swear sometimes its like London traffic fine tunes itself to your videos! PS scared the crap out of me and my cat!

[@gina5892]

I've sworn by the Sainsbury's shave gel for a while. The sensitive skin one is even better in my opinion.

[@MPH1246]

Lady, I just love you. You make me smile.

[@zoegrant658]

Hi from Virginia. What affordable line do you recommend for my 15 year old daughters acne, and what can she do to help get rid of the mild scaring

[@thefultons1864]

What is it about JR’s Hydrating Accelerator that has it showing up in your empties? Curious why Jordan Samuel’s Mist doesn’t as much especially because the ingredients suggest more of a treatment mist. They are both on my current rotation.

[@muiawat]

I love how u are using Ava’s recommendations now! Lol she’s contributing and growing up in so many ways!

[@allaboutdaniel]

u should do a hate the packaging video no.2

[@yasminmm5885]

Looking beautiful 😍 love the jumper !!!

[@thatsmyopinion8607]

Am thinking I will try the Emma hardie cleanser when my current one runs out. Which would you say is better for sensitive acne prone skin the EH or the Kate Somerville goat milk cleanser?

[@hannahtooher5101]

Prob goat milk as I have tried the Emma Hardie and i have the same type of skin as you, didn't get along with my skin xx

[@CarolineHirons]

Acne? Neither tbh but if you had to pick KS. Where do you live?

[@1shopoholic1]

Caroline Hirons curious why you’d say neither!

[@thatsmyopinion8607]

Caroline Hirons thank you for replying. I’m in the UK, do have my acne under control for now. My current cleanser is the cerave one but have been hearing such good things about these two that I was curious to give them a go.

[@Alindavanhelden]

Jen Wlkns I have oily, acneprone skin and I loved the experience the Emma Hardie gave me (the fragrance, the feeling, the plumpness) but for my skin it wasn’t the best. I have been using Oskia Renaissance Cleansinggel (it’s really a balm) and it works wonders for my skin! The Emma Hardie is quite heavy, the Oskia one is balmy but much easier to rinse or flannel of, so zero residue on your skin.

[@fairlilith]

The Soaper Duper products seem to have disappeared from all the supermarkets. Does anyone know where I can still get them? It's a bit annoying to have to pay delivery costs online. Cheers!

[@kaylashaye21]

This blue is your colour! Beautiful! Thanks for the vid.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Hello Caroline. If I ever launch a range of beauty products, I would engage you as the Packaging Selection Manager, to ensure the packaging is optimum. I HATE IT when I buy a product (not just skin, any sort of product, including bottled sauces which are frequently IMPOSSIBLE) and the bottle/container fights global warfare with me, just to get at the product!

[@shishimestiza]

Love the blue sweatshirt! 🥰

[@tigercadetsis]

So fun, as always! I have a question: I'm just starting to do weekly travel for work, and would like to streamline my skincare. Since you don't suggest the Kate Somerville for younger people, what are some other powerful "combo" serum/moisturizer you'd suggest? (Is it just the other KS ones you mentioned?) Also, any other streamlining suggestions?

[@nkurdy288]

Can u get Freddric Fekkai in the U.K.? I used to use their shampoo and conditioner for years.

Why do hair products always have the worst packaging 😂 I used to love Kevin Murphy but the packaging did my head in. Now I use Mr Smith and it’s worst haha. Thick plastic rectangular container that you can’t cut, squeeze or knock out 😂 but the juice is so good I can’t stop using it 😂

[@kathrynvahey9049]

Hi Caroline! I have two sons in middle school who have just starting to need to take care of their skin. I know that all skin is the same - but as boys they have zero interest in investing time in their skin. I mean or spending time to brush their teeth even!!! Anyway, what did you do with your sons?

[@rachelboyle9769]

That granier dry cream is £3 in Asda. Not sure if that’s a good offer! Lol xx

[@anicolais]

I think living proof just doesn’t have great packaging I got the big size shampoo and conditioner after I got some free samples and loved them. The big size was part of a holiday set so it was a good price and I got it during a vib sale, I had to justify it some how. The pumps on them are horrifying it takes five pumps to get out a decent amount of shampoo and ten or more for the conditioner, I love a lot if conditioner. I don’t think I’ll ever buy it again unless they change there packaging. Not to mention the pump doesn’t get all the product out, at this point I’m pulling out the pump and pouring it out. I know, first world problems but that’s an expensive shampoo and conditioner to have such stupid packaging.
