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.

I get smearing like that with They're Real and did much better with Roller Lash. Still smeared and clumped out of me from time to time. Benefit mascaras hate me.

I am always amazed how mascaras perform so differently on different people. They're Real stays put on me, but I can't get it all off, and I wake up the next morning with irritated raccoon eyes.

Great empties.  I LOVE the OH Power Peel.  I just used it last night.  I have sensitive skin and I love how smooth it makes my skin with minimal irritation.  Also happy to hear you liked the Ahava Dermud Foot Cream because I have a container yet that I haven't opened.  Hoping it will be good for this winter when all of me, feet included, sees to be so dry.

I also can understand not wanting to try more lotion samples if you've found your HG.  That is how I am with shampoo and conditioner.  I have my HG products already and everytime I branch out and try something new it's just not as good.  I generally end up saving those samples for trips when it's too cumbersome to bring my FS shampoo and conditioner or to put them in smaller containers.

Dermud foot cream is amazing. My feet are horrible, and it is the only thing that works for me to keep them looking nice in between pedicures.

This is so encouraging.  I tried the Ahava hand cream and it didn't do it for me so I was almost tempted to trade it out in a TSB, but you are making me glad I hung onto it.  Have you ever tried their Mineral foot cream?  I have that one too.

[SheWhoSkis]

I have not tried their mineral foot cream. I went right for the heavy stuff. Without a good cream, my feet are gross. 

I like their lighter weight hand cream, I think it's the Water line. I don't like the feeling of having stuff that is so heavy on my hands, so it was a nice balance for me. 

[kelloua]

I think that is what I tried.  For some reason it didn't seem to absorb as quickly as the Caudalie hand cream I had been using.  It was fine for before bed but for other times of day it seemed to be slippery for awhile if that makes sense.  It's also totally personal but the scent just wasn't my favorite, which wouldn't bother me on my feet but I feel like I play with my hair so much my hands are often near my face.

I second a love of the dermud foot cream. Really only Ahava's mud line works for me of their products. Well, and their bath salts.

[SheWhoSkis]

I've been eyeing their bath salts; glad to hear they are nice. I like their lighter weight hand cream and some of their shower gels as well.

I went a little nuts shopping on a trip to Israel a few years back. I'm still working through some of my original stash, but that dermud foot cream is something I've purchased to replace a few times over already. 

[Sprytely]

They can be a bit overwhelming scent wise but if I'm using them it's generally because my sciatica is acting up and I need to get swelling down, so, they work for that. If I want a relaxing "nice" bath they're not my go-to.

I couldn't wait til November. These Biolage bottles were taking up a lot of space. I liked all my empties this month. Nothing that was disappointing although I won't purchase the Becca primer. 

[kelloua]

I hear you.  Those huge shampoo and conditioner bottles take up SO much space.  I don't blame you for wanting to ditch them sooner.  What did you have from Lush?

[Anonymous]

I got some bath bombs. Heads up to anyone wanting the glitter covered pumpkin bomb. Just say no! Glitter everywhere! E v e r y w h e r e! 

[coffeenow]

I'm the kind of weirdo for whom this is a selling point!

[Anonymous]

Haha. Better then bedazzling I assume.

[kelloua]

Hahaha.  I used to HATE the glitter fallout from some of lush's products.  Then I got a cleaning person.  Problem solved.

[notcreative]

I saw those glittery pumpkins and probably would have bought one if my stash was not insane. Your visual is k i l l i n g me.

I bought those Matrix products during Love Your Hair but have not tried them yet. Glad you liked them.

[Anonymous]

Bwhahaha.

I usually have smaller bottles that I use to refill from the bigger shampoo and conditioner bottles. I have the 3oz bottles and they would last me about 2-3 months.

Edit: actually I realized that I was using the 5oz Billie before, now it's the 3oz, which I have to refill almost every month. And I usually use other stuff 3 times a month.

[kelloua]

That makes sense.  Wait, are you saying a 3 oz bottle of shampoo lasts you 2-3 months.  If so I'm impressed and jealous!  My main shampoo and conditioner are 9.45 oz and 8.45 oz and I swear I go through them every 3-4 months even though I'm also using the giant containers of Devacurl No Poo and One Condition about 1/3 or 1/2 the time I wash my hair.  But then again I've always used a LOT of shampoo and conditioner because my hair is so thick and at the current moment, long.

[calcutta]

I'm using the Devacurl products too. But I don't strictly use those products, but only use other stuff like 1-2 time a month. And my hair is not that long and thin. The full sizes lasted me over a year, i bought it back in June last year and am about to finish them now....
