January 2024 Beauty Empties - Let's Dive Through My Beauty Trash!

[@mrs.i.one12]

I just love you tube. It’s the only place where you can go through someone else’s “ trash” and not get arrested 🥴🤣 Bring on the beauty trash, I’m here for it.

[@MrKongsMom]

RIGHT? Same. I love other people's trash lol!

[@sarahb5531]

I love the Harrys body wash for me! Grove is my fav and fig is a second. Its good, thick, cleans without drying, smells amazing while showering but doesnt linger on the skin and interfere with other perfumes or lotions.

[@Faithb73]

I use mascara til it’s gone, but that’s just me…never had an eye infection from it so I’m good. BUT, I toss a lipstick at the first whiff of an off putting smell! Oh man I cannot stand a bad smell or tasting lip product. I don’t care how much is left. I’ve literally tossed brand new ones😂

[@Sufferingsassafrass]

Me too, to both of these! Rancid vitamin E in lipsticks is just the worst smell and taste! 🤮 and with mascara, even if it starts getting dry, I run the brush under water for a second the mix in the tube for instant revival! 😊

@@Sufferingsassafrass I won’t go as far as adding anything to revive my mascara, but I kinda shed a tear when a favorite one is gone😂

[@Sufferingsassafrass]

@@Faithb73 ha! Yes! 😢

Melanie, I love these trashy videos…😂😂. I have to say that you look so beautiful! As someone who gets lip filler… your lips are perfection…. ☺️

[@MrKongsMom]

Oh thank you! I love them too! I have a great injector.

The Body Shop’s Satsuma is amazing! My favorite is their Pink Grapefruit-both are so fragrant! Wish they came in candle formats. R☘️

[@MrKongsMom]

Wouldn’t that be lovely. I’d have that scent all over my house!

[@lisaweney618]

I love the deodorant it works how do you use the other products the same way

[@jackieallen9808]

Love these videos Melanie . Where did you get your pink bucket you keep your empties in ?

[@MrKongsMom]

Hello Jacki! This was a Hobby Lobby find! But honestly, look at Dollar Tree too. I bought several of these on clearance. Super handy to have around.

Always love your empties videos. I don't really want to sleep with minoxidil because I'm worried it will get on my pillow somehow and make hair grow on my face lol. I was thinking about applying it at the end of the day when I'm back home and just hanging out and then washing my hair in the evening. It would probably be on my hair for about 6 hours. Do you think that would be enough? Worth a try? Also, do you think red light therapy is making a difference for your hair re-grrowth? Thanks!

[@MrKongsMom]

I don't think you have to worry about it getting on your pillow. Are you drying your hair before going to bed? I mean I go to bed every night with it on my head (from the morning application) and have had no hair growth on my face (besides where I purposely bring it down.) If you are drying your hair, it will dry the product. It absorbs into your scalp. I think you could definitely test it out, but for me because I had a ton of loss I am about getting the most results and in order to do that I have heard it really needs to be on your scalp much of the day and then reapplied the following day and so on. But again, you have to be comfortable using it. But I can assure you, not additional growth on my face. And yes, the red light has also helped I am sure. There are studies about how positively it can impact the regrowth of your hair. I think my kitchen sink approach is really what is giving me the best outcome. It's a lot, but it is working. And I really want my hair back to where is was early last year. I never thought I would look back and think "I want THAT thin hair, not this!" lol!

Hi, Melanie! I just purchased the Alpyn Beauty Peptide & Gooseberry Moisterizer, have used it a few times and found it very hydrating and calming--how does the Paula's Choice Barrier Repair compare to it? I've just started using tretinoin for a month or so now, starting slowly, and trying to use moisturizers to prevent irritation & flaking, and so far things are going well--thank you & love your vids!

[@MrKongsMom]

I think I prefer the Alpyn over the PC a bit more. Both have a great texture but I think the Alpyn absorbs a bit quicker and feels a touch lighter but equally hydrating. Either would be a wonderful combo with tretinoin.

[@mustainemad7735]

thank you so much!! @@MrKongsMom

[@betsybabf748]

My dr said I was fine to use 5% Minoxidil because I can't get pregnant so no concern I get accidentally pregnant while using it. That is a concern, especially with the higher dose.

[@shirleyeades3986]

What color do you use on your brows?

[@MrKongsMom]

Those are tattooed (microshaded) onto my face 🤣. Highly recommend if you overplucked in the 90s like me.
