Empties

[wendyomgwar]

I love seeing other peoples empties! So I decided to make a board where people could post pictures of their empties, or just tell us about them! I'd also be interested in knowing whether you're repurchasing anything or not.

[crayzeeRN]

Yeah, very disappointing 😞

[crayzeeRN]

Nice!!

I've heard of SO many people talking about the Sunday Riley burning their face! I'm surprised the item hasn't been pulled off the market!

[mpolansky]

Yeah I agree - honestly never had anything like that happen before! It was off my face in 10 seconds flat and still burned for the whole night. So bad. 

[WhereYouStand]

I know what you mean. Upon the face on fire feeling I quickly washed/scrubbed my face gently yet as vigorously as possible then immediately slapped some moisturizer on it seemed to help a little but my face still slightly tingles. 😞 hopefully the feeling goes away soon and I don' t break out too badly, I guess i will know by morning. Good thing I did this on a Saturday and not on a Monday!

[mpolansky]

Oh no! Wish I could have warned you beforehand. Hope your skin settles down soon 😞

[WhereYouStand]

no worries. I break out from time to time nothing new. 🙂

[krtty1125]

I throw out all my empties but I've used up and replaced a bottle of Boscia Tsubaki Oil, Murad Oil Control Mattifier SPF 15, Wen cleansing conditioner, Tarte's Clean Slate Poreless 12 Hr Perfecting Primer and Lancôme Maquicomplet Concealer, Solid Sponge Cleanser (I use it to clean my brushes), UD Deslick Mattifying powder and Deslick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray.  Probably many more, too, but these come to mind.

[sangova]

Ok, I know it's late, but better late than never, right? 🙂
My March empties:

SG dry shampoo – throwing away almost full, it just made my hair look even dirtier than before using it.
Shiseido white lucent cleanser – was very nice 🙂
Yves Rocher anti-aggression mask – meh, didn’t do anything to me (maybe I wasn’t aggressive enough? :D)
MOR black currant body mouse – I loved it! Too bad I can’t find it anywhere now.
Kiehl’s cleansing masque – Love a lot, already repurchased.
BBW black currant body scrub – I guess it was Ok, nothing special.
Kate Somerville exfolikate peeling – the love of my life 🙂 this is the second tube I finished.
Nars primer – I think it was nice, but I’m not a big expert on primers 🙂
Oscar Blandi dry shampoo – nothing special, but it does the job
Glamglow – Amazing! But I don’t think I’ll be buying it full size because of the price
Korres sleeping mask – I didn’t like it, left my face sticky till morning.
Yu Be moisturizing cream – not going to repurchase. It was super rich and smelly
Murad time release retinol – did not like it. It did nothing to my lines.
La mer serum and cream – I’m in love! But again, price is too high for a full size.

3 candles. Tocca was super nice, I loved it a lot!
A chocolate vanilla body cream from one of subscription boxes – wasn’t a big fan, not going to look for it to repurchase.
Korres sleeping mask here again – still not liking it 🙂
L’occitan milk concentrate – Oh, it smells like heaven! I love it a lot, but not repurchasing yet.
And a couple of pre-made samples 🙂

And some other samples, and I actually like everything there 🙂

Only things I hated: 

PTR Laser Free Resurfacer (smelled gross...pretty sure this also broke me out. my skin did not like it)

Michael Todd - Skin Loving Aloe & Cucumber wipes (there are just so many better options out there. didn't like these at all)

The rest ranges from absolute loves to 'meh' products.

[crayzeeRN]

Woohooo you kicked butt!! Any favorites?

[mpolansky]

Lots! UD All Nighter setting spray, Macadamia Deep Repair Mask, Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion (toner), Flowerbomb rollerball and Nars tinted moisturizers are all things I'm obsessed with! I could not go a day without that setting spray.

I also really loved the Roses de Chloe perfume but it didn't pass the boyfriend test. I personally adore the smell of roses but he prefers other scents on me which is totally fine! I have a little sample bottle I'll use but that's about it.

[crayzeeRN]

Also obsessed with the UD Spray and NARS TM 😄

I didn't notice in the photo you had used up an entire rollerball, that's awesome!! I loooooooooveee Flowerbomb, have you smelled the new rose version? I really like the scent, but I can't justify $95 for 1.7 EDT. *sigh*

I also love Roses de Chloe, but again, can't decide if its worth the money. Its a very pretty scent, but I don't really find it complex and I'm not sure I want to spend money on it yet!

[mpolansky]

Ah no it wasn't at my Sephora last time I checked! I really want to try it because I'm obsessed with the original flowerbomb, annnd roses so I feel like it would be perfect! I'll keep checking 🙂 

Do I even wanna go look at how much the actual perfume is?

[crayzeeRN]

There is no EDP, which is what makes me sad. It's only been made in the EDT version 😞

[mpolansky]

Oh man. Wonder why that is? If I end up falling in love with it you're to blame... 😄

[crayzeeRN]

teeheee... *hides from enabling wrath*

[crayzeeRN]

Where have all our empties friends gone??? ***sad face***

[xpap]

These are my February and April empties! So excited to be making a dent in my stash 🙂

samples:

hair:

everything else!

Love:

Korres Pomegranate toner - I think this is my 5th bottle!

ExfoliKate - 3rd bottle

FAB Facial Radiance Pads - 5th jar

GlamGlow exfoliating mask

Didn't hate anything but not sure if there is anything else here I would repurchase. That was my 4th jar of the PTR pads but I've realized they are way too harsh for my face and should only be used in times of crisis.

So excited to finally be able to post on here! I love to stalk everyones' empties 🙂
