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've seen it recommended here to buy the TM masks on Amazon, where they cost fewer than $2 each.

 

And Kitten Heel is lovely, but it just got lost to my larger palettes. Sorry, Kitten Heel, you didn't deserve such a fate.

Re: Empties

I have so many empties pictures saved up and never get around to posting!  Here's some from this month and then maybe I will catch up on previous ones, I've been pretty diligent in getting through stuff, especially skincare

 

Likes, would repurchase:

 

Auromere toothpaste

Phytojoba shampoo - nice and moisturizing

Clarins multi-active night - really nice and my skin did well on this

PTR black mud mask sample

 

Okay, Maybe:

Kate Somerville Mega C serum- I liked this all right, had a bit of a sharp smell, too many other serums to use up and I think I still liked the Algenist GeniusC better

Napoleon Perdis auto pilot primer- didn't notice a huge difference for foundation longevity but I liked it

 

No:

Stila primer samples - just didn't do much for me

Coverfx  eye primer- did not keep shadow on at all, still just Nars and Laura Mercier primers that work for me

Various other samples not sure I remember what they were!

 

The Stila rose gold isn't really an empty, just the product came out of the pan so I put it in a z palette!

All the below are love/likes/repurchases.  SKii Essence was a question mark, and I'll still try some other essences, but I think I might go back to it even though it is so expensive, my skin seemed to do better with it.  

 

The FAB lotion was he big size I got for my bf last year, I hope they do the big size again, such a good value and he loves that stuff.

Re: Empties

I've been enjoying Rituals lately. What item is that and what did you think (do not see it on your list)?

Re: Empties

I did forget to list that one!  This was a foam/ mousse body wash that came free in Barneys Spring bag. I liked it but have trouble judging any body products - it smelled nice and seemed to clean me, a little goes a long way.  I probably would not purchase but mostly because I have so much body wash stocked up and this isn't something I can't live without.

Re: Empties

Oh wow. That's a big tub of cream 😄

Re: Empties

I know, I think the regular size is only 6.  I wish I'd bought another!

Re: Empties

I am double posting this month. These empties were too good to wait a few more days haha

Hourglass ambient lighting palette, center powder incandescent light (of course the shade I loved was the only palette exclusive shade). loved this powder but I can't justify buying a $58 palette for it. Must find dupe.

Bareminerals eyeshadow duo in mixology/congac Deluxe sample. There was a lot of product in the deluxe sample. I used it pretty often and it lasted me a good 10 months. After the first month I bought the full sized product, and glad I did because not long after that the eyeshadow duos were discontinued. I like this formula and the colors.

note: sorry picture is blurry.

 

Re: Empties

Hitting pan on these, especially the ALP, is so impressive.

Re: Empties

This is my favorite duo too. When I run out I plan on trying out MUG Mirage as a potential dupe... I have no idea what do do for Cognac though.

Re: Empties

I rarely use my HG palette, but I mostly only use Dim when I do. If I get to the bottom, it will be on that shade. It's kind of neat to see what it looks like.

 

The pans on that palette are deeper than I thought. Impressed.

Re: Empties

Here I expected them to be deeper.  Silly me.

Re: Empties

I meant the BM palette, not the HG palette. I separated the paragraphs for the different product but now realize it can look like I am talking about the same thing in both. When I look at the BM sample palette in person it looks really shallow. In her picture, it looks deeper and she said it lasted 10 months. I'm impressed.

Re: Empties

I've had mine since the summer of last year (edit-full size). I'm sure if I hadn't gotten the Soundtrack palette and Vice3 I'd probably be done with this duo. I put my Rhythm pan on it's side so you can compare the pan depth. A little thicker than a quarter I think?

Re: Empties

I'm impressed! I love incandescent light too but am nowhere near finishing it. 🙂

Re: Empties

Wow!  Good job on the Hourglass!!  That's amazing!  I cannot imagine coming close to finishing any of those powders!

Re: Empties

There's an Hourglass Flagship store in LA. I read on Reddit that you can call in to place a custom palette order and they will ship it to you. (I think there's a small shipping charge) 

Perhaps you can see if they have incandescent light, then you can make a palette with only incandescent light. LOL

 

 

Re: Empties

they don't have incandescent...i have friends who tried 😞

Re: Empties

Sparklekai is right, they only carry the normal 6 shades. If I happen to be in the area again (which I 100% will be because they opened my favorite Portland based donut shop on the same street :p) I can ask about Incandescent, but they'll probably just tell me to get the palette haha

Re: Empties

Blue star in Venice??? I've been dying to go!!! 😛 they also serve stump town there! 

Re: Empties

Yes! I passed by a couple days before the opening and they were giving out free donuts!!! It was too late in the afternoon for me to get any though 😞 

 

I happen to work very close to a Stumptown, which is good for me because it takes about 45 minutes for me to actually get to Venice haha

Re: Empties

I heard there was a stumptown by alfreds in brentwood but I'm much closer to Venice (about 5 minutes lol) so I'll have to check out Blue Star this weekend - I've also wanted to go to the Aesop store on AK though they are opening one in Santa Monica place soon! 

 

Awe for free donuts! wish I would have known LOL
