May 2023 Empties/Inventory Update

I am just going to dive right in and do the empties photo:

I did have a fair amount of smaller items as well, little sample sizes I used up. Mr. Ink and I just got back from a vacation in Las Vegas, and I’d brought some face masks with me, which meant I finally finished some face masks from the stash.

And for changes to inventory numbers in certain categories:

I finished a gentle cleanser, leaving me with only 1. I finished up the one from Lush which was quite nice.

I finished a regular cleanser, the clinique all about clean, that category went from 5 to 4.

Face masks is where I finally really made some progress, splitting my number in half, I am now down to 3.

I also finished a cleansing balm, a tiny travel size. I plan to use to travel size container and refill it with whatever balm I am working on at a given moment.

I tossed a lip scrub that had gone off, and have now fully removed that category from my inventory list.

I finished up two daytime moisturizers, the Kiehl’s with sunscreen and a tiny one of moisturizer without sunscreen, going from 6 to 4.

I finished a sample size of moisturizing serum, and a large one (cosrx snail 96 power essence.) This took me from 7 to 5.

Here’s a purchase-I purchased a mousse to take on vacation with me since the two I had are jumbo sized and not great for travel, went from 2 to 3.

I worked through the skip shampoo, it smells like 7 up which is a weird feeling. This took me from 6 to 5.

And then I also finished the Amika hair mask, which I consider a conditioner. That took this category from 9 to 8.

I finished up one of my mother in law’s body lotions, as well as the soap and glory call of fruity which I absolutely hated the smell of. So that category went from 9 to 7.

Lush kitchen subscription box gave me two new body washes this time, taking my inventory from 7 to 9.

And while I finished one little perfume, I also received one from lush so that inventory did not change, standing at 36.

I think I can make some headway on sunscreens this month, finishing up some close to done travel sizes. Pretty sure my vitamin c serum will be gone next month. I am hoping I can get through another moisturizing serum or two. I am willing to bet I’ll finish a texture powder and maybe I’ll also finish another shampoo. I will certainly finish another body moisturizer. And I am genuinely hoping to finish up a couple sample sizes of perfume. Other than that there’s not a lot I feel I can finish this month.

Also, I have kitchen subscription box coming in this upcoming month but then am taking a 2 month break. I am getting a little overwhelmed with the body washes, plus, it gets too hot on our porch for me to feel comfortable leaving a sub box there during the day when it gets delivered. I am really hoping there’s not something that pops up that I really feel fomo about. At the same time, that’ll further reduce my numbers and help me enjoy the body washes that I do have.
