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.
I don't really have much to photograph, but I have TONS of empties. For one, I have my Lights, Camera, Splashes mascara from Tarte (I love it!), I also have the Neutrogena face cleansers, in both hydrating and foaming. Along with that, my Neutrogena blackhead eliminating daily scrub, same with my Nivea Lip Butter, Smith's Minted Rose lip balm, and Smith's Rosebud salve.
I don't have any makeup empties to photograph, but these are my empty YCs for the month so far. I had a collection of over 200 large jars (I even worked for the company back in 2010 to get the employee discount after my 9-5 job) but I alternated jars so much that I never finished the jars. Then I had two kids, and I don't like to burn when they are babies. Now I'm trying to burn through my megastash so that I have some room in the bathroom closet and the boys' bedroom closets. My goal is to fit them all on the candle bookshelf by December, and burn through those within 2 years. I've developed a love for Front Porch Candle Company tarts and I just want all these candles gone! 😛
After this space gets filled I remove the wax then recycle the containers.
I'm working on getting through my candles (many Yankees) too! How do you get the wax out once you've burned them down?
Pop the jars in the freezer for an hour. The wax will fall right out if you gently tap the jar on the counter! Cleanest and easiest way!
Great! I will try this. Thanks!
Gentle is the key word, I've seen glass shatter after coming from a cold freezer.
A hot water bath will do the trick.
I've been so busy and haven't posted in a while. Here's two months worth of empties!

Oh, you didn't like Lavanilla? Why? I was going to buy one!
Wow sorry I didn't see this... It's an alright deodorant. It just dries out sooo fast and starts crumbling half used. It also stains my clothing.
I have been using the Lemon one since May (and I walk around in Florida heat btw). I put it on when I'm out of the shower so that more applies, when I put it on dry skin it doesn't activate as much.
i tried the lavanilla deodorant too...its still sitting mostly unused in my bathroom because it SUCKS!!! it didn't do a dang thing and left me smelly 😞 i don't wanna be smelly!!!
Wow. Great emptying. I am finally going to try the Better than Sex mascara soon. I've put it off long enough.
Yes! Try it. I got the deluxe in the Lash Stash Set a while back and it's very voluminous and doesn't clump. I've got other mascaras in rotation at the moment but I really miss it. I'm waiting to use up some others to open my full size.
You didn't like the Algenist eye balm? I just got a small pot/exceedingly generous sample, and I have to say, I'm impressed with its ability to nuke signs of tiredness on a long haul flight, so am thinking of purchasing. I've also thought a lot about getting the DDG Clinical Concentrate Booster, but now you're not repurchasing I'm wondering is it any good? I'd really welcome your feedback - thanks! 🙂
My under eye area is constantly dehydrated even though I'm still in my 20s. I travel a lot too and I feel like this balm was OK. I wasn't too impressed with it. I liked the texture but it never felt like it sunk into my skin. I actually made an impulse purchase at an airport a while back and got the Cerave Eye Cream and it does an amazing job with keeping my under eye area hydrated during a flight. It sinks in so well and makes the skin so soft & plump looking! Plus this is just a personal preference but I prefer most of my skincare in non jar containers. I know not all ingredients need to be in air tight containers to remain stable but I prefer stuff in squeeze tubes or serum type containers. I swear whenever I have any type of jar packaging it somehow leaks/explodes all over my suitcase. Haha.
The hydrating booster is really nice but the radiance booster didn't do that much for my skin. I didn't really see that much added radiance/glow to my skin. I've been using Skinceuticals CE Ferulic for a couple of months and that product really gives my skin a radiance boost. I was expecting a similar type of glow from the radiance booster but no luck. I still think the set is a good deal though, maybe wait for the 20% and give it a try.
Hopefully that hat helps a bit. 🙂
Once again your empties make me feel like I'm going through my own stuff!
Q I'm currently using the cerave PM and i like don't like it... it's basic but gets the job done.
What's the dif btw the PM and the one you finished?
Great empties as usual 😉
Also i just bought the DDG trio how did you use them?
Mixed in or alone?
Hehe great minds think alike. 😉 I actually use the Cerave SA for my body not my face. It works really well if you've got KP, those annoying little bumps you get on your upper arms. I actually tried the PM for my face and didn't like it at all! I think the main difference is that the SA Renewing has got salcidic acid. I know people that use it for their face but I haven't tried it on my face. I feel like it would be a little too thick. I just used the boosters as regular serum. I really liked the hydrating one before my moisturizer in the morning. I wish it came in the larger size like the radiance booster. I did try mixing them with some stuff but I just prefer them as a separate step. I think the green bottle, the purifying one is my least favorite. I only use that in my T-zone, I think the bottle is still
pretty full.
I also have KP but use something prescribed by my derm. Oh oops I thought it was for your face!
I tried the hydrating one a couple of times and liked it but then I got my Sarah Chap hydrating serum and set it aside. I didn't even touch the green one because I have dry skin so I passed it on to my mom.
I have to give the radiance one a try next 🙂
i'm backkkkkkkk!!! with a few empties 😛
