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.

[Anonymous]

LOL I would feel awful to ask that of an SA. I might try and see if I can save some money to treat myself to a special edition later next year I think. as long as I keep it in one of the metal atomizers to use and not break it!!!

I owe you some hearts, so I am hearting the good (not the poor broken bottle).  So sorry that happened.  Such a bummer.

[Anonymous]

Yeah. I regret not going for the point redemption now for the little mini and hatbox a few weeks ago. Poor move on my part thinking to be greedy hoarding my points.

[notcreative]

It is not my scent at all, but I thought the hatbox thing was cute.  Check your pm and let me know ASAP, because I want to go in the morning.

You're the best, I'll get with you on seeing if there is anything I have in my stash to exchange. 🙂 I can't get over catalogs or envelopes!

[EvangelineDamon]

That is tragic.

It would not hurt taking your sob story to a friendly Sephora employee or mod and maybe they could replace it for you..

It's worth a try.

Sorry for the loss.

May your floors smell lovely for the rest of the year.

My husband is not of the same opinion that the floor smells lovely. I did try to kill it with vinegar but no luck. The air just kicked on and I think it is spreading. This is hilarious and horrible. lol.

Edit- it still smells like Flowerbomb in the bathroom and I think it might for the rest of our lease. Any tips for getting perfume out of composite surfaces?

[Anonymous]

Anecdotal Update, it takes five days for it do die down. My elf from the Secret Santa exchange came through with a Prelude to a Kiss, so I forsee a new and very carefully stored rollerball of Flowerbomb coming!

I have finally decided to retire my first Guerlain lipstick. I realized it's probably older that some of the people on BT and thus probably time to go. I haven't used it in ages (years) but it was my first 'posh' lipstick and held some sentimental value. It's a great red-brick colour that's probably fashionable again.

A few years ago (before I got back into makeup), I had to retire some really old Lancome and Estee Lauder lipsticks.  I also had to let the custom one (my MUA artist made her own) that I got for my wedding go.  That was so hard, because I loved the color.  Some of my Lancome and Estee lippies were older than people on the boards, as well.

Alright, I can finally take a moment to post my empties from September/October.  I took these pictures before flying out.  One of all my empties and the other if items I will be repurchasing.

[notcreative]

Nice emptying.  You did some serious damage.  I recently bought my first Organix product, and I am really liking it so far.  Mine is the split end mender, and my ends have never looked better.

Any winners in this lovely stash?  There are a few things I am curious on: the 3 little Wonders, which sunblocks you liked this time around and of course the Organix product.

[heartsmyface]

Oh yeah, I loved everything in the second pic.  The green stuff in th oh set tingles a bit more than I like but it really shows results .

i really Like the clarins sunscreen out of this batch.  It stood out the most.

My October Empties:

Obviously my face was breaking out a bit this month, judging from the number of acne treatment and concealer samples I went through.  I added the PTR Retinol Fusion PM to my nightly routine and that just screwed my skin up.  I wasn't sure if that was the culprit, so I waited for everything to clear and tried it again in 2 weeks.  Big mistake.  I wish it was just a "purging" phase, but acne was different from my usual one here or there and in places I normally didn't have issues with.  Anyways, here are the empties.

Loves: 

Spoiler

• Purity face wash
• Neutrogena makeup wipes
• Redken All Full Shampoo
• UD Primer Potion Original
• Neutrogena blotting sheets
• UD Perversion mascara
• HG Veil Mineral Primer
• BBW Creamy Pumpkin hand soap
• Couture La La perfume
• Glamglow Tinglemud

Might repurchase:

Spoiler

• UD Naked foundation - I recently added Nars Sheer Glow and I like the way that dries down better.  The Naked foundation sometimes stayed tacky which I didn't like
• Freeman Pineapple Enzyme mask - works ok, I have a bunch of Philosophy microdelivery exfoliating wash to work through now and I'm liking that better as a daily item instead of the pineapple mask 1-2x/wk.
• Murad Acne Clearing Solution - Seems to work.  Liked it better than the clinique
• Clinique Clearing Treatment

Won't repurchase:

Spoiler

• UD Naked Loose Powder - Did not like the finish, almost seemed to decrease the coverage of my foundation, replaced with Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder
• UD Primer Potion Eden
• Amazing cosmetics concealer - recently purchased cover fx blemish concealer and like that better
• Beauty Protector hair treatment mask - worked ok, I like the fekkai treatment better
• PTR Retinol Fusion PM - Sad I have to throw out an almost full bottle.

[Anonymous]

I'm wondering whether the Color FX concealer might be better value for money than the AC Amazing Concealer; is the tube bigger? 

[natafrost]

Hi! If you don't mind, what didn't you like about PTR Retinol Fusion PM?

[NicoleFrat]

It broke me out twice, acne was different from my usual one here or there and in places I normally didn't have issues with.

I LOVE the Bvlgari Shampoo too! The scent,Thé blanc, takes me to my happy place as it is the toiletries provided on our favourite cruise line (and where I first used it) and now I use it when I'm feeling nostalgic for our trips and the amazing staff that we have become friends with over the years.

The boyfriend loves it too--it has a great unisex scent.

I love the Bvlgari shampoo, both the red & the white one, I scored a stash from a hotel I stayed at on holidays. Beautiful bar soap as well from memory.

[notcreative]

It smelled great, left my hair squeaky clean, less frizzy than regular shampoo and more shiny than regular shampoo.  I loved it, too.  Which hotel did you stay at?  It would not be the first time I tried a hotel based on the amenities carried.

I love Sheraton hotels, but I hate their Shine products.  I usually try to stay elsewhere to avoid them when possible.  The Peter Thomas Roth products carried at the Hilton are not my favorite either.  The lotion smells like a man.
