Empties

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.

Re: Empties

I'm glad to read that you loved the PTR- I just bought it for $10 Black Friday in SiJCP.

Re: Empties

I cannot wait to try that PTR, so I am glad to see you love it.  As soon as I finish off some of my opened items, that is getting opened next.

Re: Empties

Thanks for the tip.  I will try to remember that.

Re: Empties

Well, I think I finally figured out how to get iPod photos into BT-

 

Here goes:

I checked my Mascara stash and these are either empty or expired, and I finished Lancome Renergie Volumetry Night (meh) and Olay Regenerist Eye and Lash Serum (did nothing).

 

Mascaras are 2 BLINC (Fairy Drops Scandal Queen works better), Smashbox Bionic (flakes), Rimmel Sexy Curves (bought while travelling, was ok as an emergency mascara, but not my fave), UD Lush Lash Mascara (flakes/racoon eyes rather soon after application).

Re: Empties

I finally finished a face mask!!! I finished Glamgow's Power Mud. Already have a backup (actually 2 because I bought it during their recent BOGO deal). I definitely love that stuff!!

Re: Empties

Interesting, since I've been looking at buying a double pack containing Power Mud and Thirsty Mudd. What exactly does the power mud do for your skin? Sorry if this has been asked a zillion times before; I'm new to the brand ...

Re: Empties

Here are my empties from my trip.  Not too bad!  

Dr Brandt pores no more will be purchased at my earliest convenience and will be replacing my benefit once I've used up al, my samples of it. 

I have already purchased the shiseido eye cream.  It's so thick and creamy but not too thick.  

My hubby loves the dry bar shampoo and conditioner. 

I love the Peter Thomas Roth sunscreen as well.  

I purchased the jill Stuart shampoo and conditioner:)

it was a pretty good round of sample trying.

Re: Empties

Yay!  Glad you found a sunscreen you love.  My husband has been playing with that thing for a long time.  I tried it a couple of times and thought it was nice enough.

Re: Empties

Oooh! I love using up samples on trips too! I've been quite impressed with Dr. Brandt products, but currently trying out the hyper pigmentation gel, and I'm not sure yet whether it will prove to be as effective as the Verso treatment ... How did you find the Living Proof product? I am in love with their Style Extender, since it allow me to only wash my hair twice a week 🙂

Re: Empties

Be careful about anything with hydroquinone in it cause it's a known carcinogen.  Murad had a skin lightener with it and was refunding people their money because of the newfound discovery.  

Re: Empties

To be honest I'm less than thrilled with a lot of the living proof stuff.  I like their shine serum.  The style extender doesn't seem to work for me.  It just seems t weigh my hair down.  :(.

I am all about samples, but mostly the 100 point perks when I am traveling. So convenient.

 

 

Re: Empties

Me too!  They take up so little space!  

Re: Empties

How did you like Caudalie's Premier Cru? 

Re: Empties

I actually really enjoyed it.  it didn't impress me any more than first aide beauty however.    Maybe I need to use it for longer to notice any real results though.  

Re: Empties

i love the dr brandt pores no more!!! that stuff is awesome!!!

Re: Empties

Yes it is!  It left quite an impression on me!  I live that it's tinted so if I feel super lazy I can wear just it!  I had a "what am I using this other bleep for?"  epiphany!!

Re: Empties

I had a sample of the Shiseido eye cream and I think it's fantastic. Couldn't tell if it helped me at all (who can from a sample?), but I love love love the way Shiseido products smell. I'm using their undereye masks right now and I just can't get enough! 🙂

Re: Empties

I made a few orders back to back and ended up with four samples which was just enough to last me three weeks and enough for me to know I needed to buy it.  The smell is wonderful and light!  

Re: Empties

October was epic in terms of using up products!!! I used up 3 different body washes… lol. Not in a month, but these have been in rotation in my shower since I bought them. For some reason my roommate thinks it’s weird that I have different shower gels in rotation. Please tell me I’m not the only one that does this? Haha.

 

Ohh and this is my one year ‘anniversary’ of keeping empties. I even have a spreadsheet. #nerdproblems
