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'm an on-again off-again saver. Currently in "on" mode because I started feeling guilty regarding my intake vs. outtake ratio. Like many others keeping my empties is a good motivator to use what I have. I just keep a box around to throw things in when they're done. It's not much different from throwing them in trash or recycling. My problem is always figuring out where to keep the stupid box!
That would be exactly my problem. I live in a tiny studio apartment, so throwing anything out feels especially good due to the limited space. 😄
No worries, Gwen, that's not rude at all! Actually I keep a small box in my bathroom. Every time I finish something I throw it in there and at the end of the month I take them all out and photograph them. Then I toss them out. Actually it's kinda fun because I throw a bunch of stuff out all at once.
That makes some sense. A box at least would make it look neater. I'm trying to devise a way to jump on this and participate, but I'm not sure I'll be able to yet.
A bit delayed, but here are my July and August empties:
The Best (will repurchase/have already purchased):
I enjoyed using everything else with the exception of the Supergoop eye cream which was just ok, and the Rimmel/Lancome mascaras that I wouldn't repurchase.
Great empties.
Thank you! 🙂
My reviews are way too long for BT, so let me know if you're curious on anything.

Was May your "use all my lippie samples" month?
May was just the month I tossed them. I started opening them in November or December. The only ones I used past February were the 2-3 pods that had not been opened yet. I think I had 1 Estee Lauder pod that was still unopened in May. After I used it, every pod was officially opened, so I tossed them all.
My germ factor is pretty high, so I am only willing to use a pod for a short period of time once it is opened and I am very careful about only opening one pod at a time. A 4 pod pack can last me a long time if I only wear 1-2 colors a week.
I was going to say, those pods last me a really long time. I like them for traveling since I can play with multiple colors without having to lug along as much lipstick and gloss. I've been trying to use them to the bottom but lost a few before they got to empty.
I usually wear very little makeup when I travel, but I did take some of these with me on my last long trip. I took 4 mini trips this year, but I did not take any lipstick on 3 of them and specifically took lipsticks I needed to review for my blog on the most recent trip. No need to save these.
August empties. I already re-purchased the Sephora makeup remover, Briogeo leave in conditoner, and Besame powder, I still have more deluxe samples of the rest and will continue to use them.
Great empties!
I'm impressed you used up the violet powder. I do like that the inner packaging is clear, so you can see how much you have left.
I actually removed that inner clear thingy as I do on most of my powders. Its easier and quicker for me to be able to dip my brush in and tap off the excess.
I've wanted to try that Besame powder.
So this week has been crazy with moving stuff... but here are August empties finally!
Good:
Meh:
Bad:
I've been wanting to try that Origins mask. That is my least favorite Julep topcoat, too.
That Origins charcoal mask is one of my few skincare repurchases. Pro tip: I remove it in the shower because or else you'll be scrubbing your face with a washcloth for ages trying to get the dried mask off.
Great empties!!! Not a huge fan of that Julep top coat either. I have a sample of that Origins charcoal mask. I love the glamglow one so curious to try it out.
