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.
We stayed at the Le Bua in Bangkok (the hotel in Hangover II). They replenished the amenities a couple of times a day. The bar soaps are rose fragrance, in a Stella McCartney way rather than a grandama soap kind of way. Really generously sized, too. The hotel is also amazing for roof top cocktails!
I don't mind the PTR products - completely agree about the more masculine scent.
Hopefully you don't mean the wreck they woke up in after the bachelor party? LOLOLOLOLOL
That is really cool.
I have no impending plans to stay in Bangkok, so I guess staying there is out of the question for me.
I may have to snaffle something for you, if we ever get back there. Thailand is fairly accessible from Australia. My poor partner was a bit surprised/embarrassed by my little hoard when he saw me unpack my suitcase at home. I must admit my heart sinks a little when I walk into a hotel room and there's a generic tube of something sitting on the vanity. First world problems, I know.
I almost always take the amenities from the room when I leave. Samples are the best, so it is one of my favorite parts of traveling. We traveled more than a dozen times in the past 12 months (and I got something from every hotel, even the Sheraton ones at the beginning of the year). By the end of the year, I was over taking Shine products, so I left without any from our late August stay. I can think of one worse than generic amenities at hotels. My MIL planned our April trip and used her time share. I never bring items hotels carry, so part of our April stay was disappointing (we stayed at the Ritz near Lake Tahoe without her at the beginning of the trip and at one of the Sheratons near Disneyland at the end of that trip). The time share she booked had no amenities other than bar soap, dish soap and laundry detergent. It was a Wyndham property, and while that is not my favorite hotel chain, we had stayed there a few times in the past. They always had amenities, so I never would have expected to arrive to none. There was no gift shop either, so we had to go shopping for shampoo and conditioner once the stuff I took from the Ritz was gone.
Thanks. It is awesome that Thailand is easily accessible for you. I've always wanted to go to Australia as well, so it's pretty cool you get to live there.
I hope to travel to the US one day and step into an actual Sephora store 😉

I would have to swear by the Soft soap coconut scrub I absolutely love that scent!
Is it weird that I always picture you as extremely well groomed, because you have so many empties each month? That or you're well groomed and smart for tossing the items that do not work for you. My stupid self will keep using items I hate, because I paid for them and hate wasting money.
I really like They're Real Remover. It is the only They're Real thing I think Benefit got right. Sorry you did not like it.
i'm totally ocd!!! i also do a full face pretty much every day so i use things up rather quickly...and i don't skimp on products at all!!!
I've been trying to wear makeup a little more often. Working from home (and only part time at that), there are days I never leave the house. There are other days I leave the house only to get my sons to/from school. I usually do not put makeup on if it will be viewed for less time than it takes me to apply it. I just need more places to go.
I tend not to skimp when I use something, too. The Becca primer I am sampling right now keeps peeling off my face when I use my Algenist moisturizer but works fine over La Mer. I am either using too much Algenist, which is causing the Becca to pick it up and move it around or the products are not compatible. It is hard to overuse the La Mer sample, because the way it comes out of the bottle. Plus, I love it and have no intention of buying i any time soon, so I am using it very conservatively (odd for me).
Wow, look at all those empties! I'm super impressed. I need to start taking pictures of mine again!
I've been hesitant on the They're Real remover... what did you like/dislike about it?
it was ok...it got my eye makeup off...but it was nothing special. it reminded me of the mufe sens eyes...but i like that better! it was just an average cream remover.
I realized I can't keep my empties anymore! It stresses me out to have it just sitting around >_<
But I did FINALLY go through a travel size of an ojon shampoo, mean while I went through a liter of conditioner :P, curly girl hair and all that. I know I've been through some OH truth serum sample packs as well I love that stuff!
😮 why it stress you little dove?!?!
i did the same thing with the MUFE mascara!! apparently my lashes are getting picky!!
It is straight junk. Your eyes are just smart.
I've been tempted by the Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla line for months now! What do you love about it?
I have so many empties over the past few months that I recycled to ORIGINS.
"Bring any cosmetic brand empty container into any Origins retail store & we’ll recycle it for you for FREE. All returned packing is sent back to a central location where products will be recycled or used for energy recovery."

I got a Mario Badescu mask as a GWP from Ulta. I opened it a couple of weeks ago, and it looks like dried up clay. It is an off white color. If I have the same one you have, what are the directions for use? The sample does not say, so I was going to Google it to see how it works and if it is normal to look like that.
