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.

Thanks blondesluv2shop!  I had a lot of open items that I needed to finish, hence the large volume.  That vanilla hand cream, for instance, was opened in January!  I'm trying to finish a bunch of stuff up before opening or buying anything new.  I expect December to have quite a few empties, and then in January things should slow down.

Thanks for the tip on the Invisiblur.  I do plan on making a purchase with the upcoming gift card promotion, so I'll keep that in mind.

I always get curious when I see the beauty products at Trader Joe's. They always get high praise though, so I may buy some (when I am de-stashed).

Looks like you finished lots of bath/shower products!  That's an area where I tend to buy way too much.  This is probably my favorite category to finish up.  I have a body wash that's a couple days away from empty and I'm unreasonably excited about it.

[ElleElleG]

LOL!  It does feel good to use these up!  Especially because it means you're one step closer to doing a serious restock 😛 

[kelloua]

Great empties ElleElleG!  Looks like you made it through quite a substantial amount of your stash.  I love the OH Lemon Strip Flash Peel.  I've only had sample sizes to date and was excited to finally get a FS.

[ElleElleG]

Collecting my empties is the only way I truly know that I am using the things I buy.

LOVE the Peel, it played a huge role in correcting my skin.  I'm thinking of purchasing it directly from the OH site since they have/had that GWP with $50 purchases. 😄

What are the other 2 Mario products? Maybe I'm blind, but I only see 1 Mario listed and there are 3 in the photo.

[ElleElleG]

Two are the Enzyme Cleansing Gel (8oz & Travel Size).  The last item is the Flower & Tonic Mask which I forgot to list.

I love Pacifica body butters.  I think they offer great quality for the price.  I just opened up a tube of my favorite, Tahitian Gardenia.

[WhereYouStand]

I also Love the Tuscan blood orange one!

[mw23]

Good to know!  I love citrus scents, so that one is definitely on my list for future purchases.

[kelloua]

Great empties!  I'm a sucker for coconut so that Pacifica body butter sounds divine.

[coffeenow]

I have the Pacifica coconut nectar soap, and it smells like coconut cake.  If you like sweet coconut, I think you'll love it.

[shyvicki]

You didn't like the ELF makeup remover pen? I like it for when I want to get a winged liner look since I can't seem to make a good wing.

[kelloua]

Ooh.  I've never tried a makeup remover pen but it seems like it would be really helpful for removing excess liner as you mentioned.
