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

Snaps for all the sunscreen!  So many empties!!

Re: Empties

I have an empty Neutrogena somewhere, but I cannot find it. I finished it weeks ago and everyone knows better than to throw out my empties. As much as it catches a lot of flak, I wish I had it with me on my recent trip. I burned so badly, but this stuff keeps me from burning. I finally finished that PTR face cream recently as well.

Re: Empties

Wow.  I've been excited to share my upcoming empties because I'm also doing a combined post for July and August and have been dutifully using things up and have been pretty proud of making a good dent in both my regular sized products and some of my samples.  But it's nothing compared to your empties  Great job.

Re: Empties

wowwwww!  you've gone through a lot of product!  I'm so stingy with my product, using just enough, so it lasts a lonnng time.  I never really throw away more than three things at a time.

Re: Empties

I'm a slatherer then!  I love using my stuff.  I don't think I go a day without using a sample or finishing something. It makes me feel good to be working through my stuff.  Makes the shopping addiction seem justifiable. 

Re: Empties

That sunscreen is probably the love of my life. How did you kill off so many bottles?? Do you go full bod on it?

Re: Empties

I love it!  It feels powdery on as far as sunscreens go!  I'm a sun fearing M word survivor.  Every two hours. I don't like it for my face though cause it leaves a white cast.    A full bottle is only supposed to last two or three days at the beach if you use the reccomended 1ounce on your body.  Plus I was forced to go camping so my use went up.  😉

Re: Empties

Since you are a sunscreen expert, what do you recommend for face?  I need mineral only sunscreens for face because chemical sunscreens make my break out!  I rarely ever apply sunscreen on my body  😞  but I avoid the sun like a vampire, says my husband.

Re: Empties

Ah, see I only use it on my face and hands. (I m covered wrist to ankle usually). I can understand going through thst many if used for body daily. 

Re: Empties

I'm impressed with all the sunscreen! 😉 

 

Is that the regular La Petite Robe Noir? I'm wearing the Couture version today and trying not to fall in love with it. 

Re: Empties

yep just the regular one.   I tried the couture one!  It's delicious!   

Re: Empties

image.jpgthese are my empties for August so far-- trying to de clutter and use up samples as much as possible (though I add more to my stockpile daily ) 

 

favorites: 

simple micellar water 

lush veganese conditioner 

YSL fusion ink foundation

drjart bb cream 

 

haaaaaaaaaaated:

bite agave lip mask-- dehydrated my lips worse than vaseline

mac luster shadows are a bust in my book

diorsnow melt away makeup remover was less than impressive 

 

Re: Empties

I totally relate. One thing finished, two things in. It never ends!

Re: Empties

I've been doing the same thing.  I'm 1/2 way through a Simple Micellar Water.  I'm not sure I get it so I think I'm missing something.  What do you love about it?

Re: Empties

It removes whatever my cleanser did not, which is a surprising amount of dirt and makeup. 

Re: Empties

Oh no!  It sounds lije you're one of the few people who has an allergy to the ingredients in the agave mask.  It works great on me if I ever remember to use it.  I thought I had chronically dry lips and bought the agave mask to help them out.   It worked but not on the way it was suppised to.  I actually react badly to Tarte lipsurgence products.  They dry my lips out.  When I started using the agave mask my use of the lipsurgence went down and my lips appeared to get better.  Sigh. 

Re: Empties

Tarte lipsurgence dries my lips instantly too but Bite lip mask is HG for me!

Re: Empties

Could be, I'm pretty sensitive and allergic to just about everything at this point in my life haha. 

Re: Empties

Wasn't sure where to ask these...

Question 1.. I have been saving my empty Dior skincare bottles. I don't know why other than that the products were so expensive. I think maybe I hope they will magically dispense product if I wait long enough. 🙆🏻. Have any of you figured how to "break-in" to them? I imagine weeks worth of product lining the corners that the pump thing doesn't reach.

Question 2...  I have kept all my Tweezerman tweezers knowing that they are supposed to have a lifetime warranty and can be sharpened. I've not saved my receipts or packaging. Should I reach out to tweezerman to find out how to send them in for sharpening or do any of you already know the answer?

Thanks in advance! 

Re: Empties

Your first question reminds me of the time I spent over 30 minutes trying to break into my Lancome Dreamtone bottle. I finally gave up and asked my husband. He got it in a few minutes, and there was probably only a few days left behind. $98 serum or not, I am not breaking into anything that difficult again. I cannot help with Dior bottles, because I do not own any.

 

When I bought my Tweezerman, I was told they do not ask a ton of questions to sharpen. I have not sharpened mine yet, but I would just call. Mine are over 2 years old, so the purchase history may be gone on mine as well.

Re: Empties

LOL.  The Dior bottles seem to be this glass/plastic hybrid, so worst case I actually break it and cut myself. Way worse, worst scenario, I get micro shards in the product I do dig out and embed them in my skin.  Ay.. I need to just toss them and move on. I have brand new bottles waiting to be opened. Interestingly, some of the products, if purchased through other retailers, like my local Dillard's, are now refillable. So the refills are about $15-$20 less than the regular bottle price. Love this!  Wish Sephora was on that bandwagon. Thanks NC!
