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 too love the Too Faced Hangover primer and L'Occitane almond shower oil. Two of my favorite products!!

[notcreative]

As soon as I use up my insane backup stash of wipes, I am finally going to try Bioderma. Tangle Teezer is also on my list to try, because I love the Wet Brush and want to compare.

I love the new Bye Felicia category.

[sparklekai]

🙂 the bioderma will be the only wipes i use!  like i did swatches of my whole 296 lip product collection....3 wipes removed every single swatch!!! 

[blondesluv2shop]

I've heard good things about the Bioderma wipes from quite a few ladies now. Where do you buy them?

[sparklekai]

i'm in canada so i get them at shoppers drug mart.  if you're in the states i think you have to get them at beautylish. 

[blondesluv2shop]

Oh no! I had this happen a few months ago so I started keeping them in my cubie system, in one of the square inserts. This is working much better because they're hidden and no one will throw them out on me.

[guzelkiz]

I have a TON of empties this time.  It includes both November and December since I was out of the country and couldn't post my November ones.

I finished a Neutrogena sunscreen (also love) over the summer but I could not find the container. Well, my husband took the boys for a snow day on NYE. I prepped the backpack and no joke I found the empty bottle inside. While I am unsure why he grabbed an empty bottle and stuck it in the bag, I am glad he did not toss it.

[guzelkiz]

That is a MediHeal sheet mask in Dress Code Red.  

I love it too.  It's amazing for cleaning brushes!

[guzelkiz]

It is a pretty mask!  It does look like the picture on the outside!  I recall that Sprytely had posted pics of herself wearing these masks in the mask thread if you want to see what they look like.

[blondesluv2shop]

Have you tried the Becca SSP in poured? I've been thinking about buying Pearl and can't decide which formula.

[guzelkiz]

Yes, I HATED that formula.  I have very dry skin and when I wore the poured SSPs I looked greasy.  I didn't apply a lot or anything.  It just looked really bad on me.  The liquid form is really good though.  I use it quite a lot and really love how it looks.  

[blondesluv2shop]

That's good to know. I too have dry skin so it sounds like I might have to pass on the poured.

December Empties

Spoiler

Loves:
-Vita Liberata Self Tanner in Medium - I like this, however if I ever repurchased I would definitely get Dark... This shade barely showed up on my light skin and only lasted 2-3 days. The scent was much better than other self tanners I have used in the past. I prefer the St Tropez Express Tan.

-Origins Night-a-Mins - This was a nice night cream. It is richly hydrating and nourishing. Didn't do anything amazing for my skin though. 

-Laura Mercier Loose Translucent Powder - This is HG for me. I have repurchased the full size. Sets my makeup perfectly and makes my complexion look so smooth and flawless.

-UD All Nighter Setting Spray - This is another HG product. Makes my makeup last all day. I only use this if I am working or have a long day ahead of me where I need my makeup to last.

-Sephora Rose Sheet Mask - Loved this mask. It is so soothing and pampering. I got two uses out of it because the sheet was so saturated. 

-Dr Brandt PoreDermabrasion - evened out my skintone and improved texture. 

Meh:
-Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara - This was an okay mascara. I wasn't wowed, and since I have several HG mascaras it takes a lot for me to love a mascara. It gave some volume but overall it didn't stand out to me.

-NYX Tinted Brow Mascara - kinda messy. I prefer to fill in my brows with a powder or brow wiz and then set them with ABH clear brow gel. For someone who doesn't have time/patience to do their brows this is a quick fix. I personally wouldn't repurchase. 

[notcreative]

I also love that mask, so I was excited I got an extra in my Cyber Surprise bag. I never thought of using it a second time, though. 

[karap03]

To me, two sides = two uses 😄

The mask was still so saturated after one use so I couldn't justify tossing it. I carefully folded the mask up, put it in a ziploc bag, and marked which side I used so I could re-use the other side. 

[notcreative]

That's clever.

[blondesluv2shop]

I've never used a translucent powder before, but I've been hearing really good things about that LM one lately. I might have to try it!

[blondesluv2shop]

That's it - you've both sold me! Adding this LM powder to my birthday wish list.
