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 couldn't wait to finish the bottle. That one didn't smell to good. I like the vanilla one.

Will always repurchase the Dove dry shampoo (because it works/is inexpensive),

FAB moisturizer (have two people going through this stuff, hence two empties for January),

Kerastase shampoo

Guerlain LDP foundation in 31 is my HG, however I am testing some new foundations that are less expensive (so far none have come close to comparing)

NARS Penny Lane. I finished a blush! All of it! BUT this is my HG and it is discontinued. *tears*

 

Things that are ok/would use again but not going to actively purchase:

HAAAAATE IT:

image3.JPGThe Baby Skin and Prime Time were almost full, but I'm trying to declutter and it's time to rid myself of silicon-y primers. Also, the KVD foundation felt like literal plaster. 

 

Re: Empties

I too need to do a better job of decluttering things I just know I am never going to use.  From the samples I wasn't a fan of Ultimate Miracle Worker either.

Re: Empties

What didn't you like about Burberry Fresh Glow? I enjoyed mine last month. 

 

Totally agree with you on the Kate Somerville though. I've tried 2 different products from her and hated both of them.

Re: Empties

I feel you on the KVD foundation ! It feels like having a very, very thick mask on your face 😕

Re: Empties

I felt like I was wearing stage makeup. Which is fine, I'm just so used to light, blendable coverage that this was like a little bit alarming on me haha

Re: Empties

A moment of silence for your HG discontinued Nars blush 😞

Re: Empties

THANK YOU for getting it!

Here are my empties, funny how the skin care all ran out at the same time except for the cleansing oil 😉 

 

The only items I am truly considering purchasing again is the NUDE skincare. My skin is so happy with that line. 

Re: Empties

I really like it, my skin has been better at being less oily and I don't know if it's the toner but it's also very healthy looking, i'm sure the other stuff i use on my skin help out too but i really like this stuff, i'm using the belif toner next since i had it already i'm kind of an impulse buyer 😉 

but yes, it did a good job at cleaning my face of any residue my cleanser may have forgotten although it's rare but it happens sometimes! all said and done i think i prefer it to some others i've had because i felt it really helped my skin but we'll see how my skin does with this new toner. 

Re: Empties

I tried a sample of that cleansing oil last month and LOVED it. Can't wait to finish my current bottle of remover so I can upgrade 🙂

Re: Empties

I've got one stashed that I haven't reid yet so good to know!

Re: Empties

I really enjoyed it, it lasted me  a really long time, too long that i was like "really? still?" which is a very good thing for the price, my skin does feel beautiful and looks beautiful but ever since i discovered the nude omega jelly.. i couldn't wait to finish this fast enough so i can get started on the nude one 😕 not saying it's bad but i feel like i get better results from the nude line.

Re: Empties

See. You have a lot. What is Santa's Belly? I love all the Lush names. 

 

I've never finished a perfume vial in my life, so 4 in a month always impresses me.

Re: Empties

I know the feeling. I bought Rainbow Fun for my boys and my shower gets dyed whatever color they play with.

Re: Empties

Santa's Belly is a shower jelly. So basically a solid jello-like shower gel 🙂

Re: Empties

I totally debated getting that shower jelly when they had the BOGO sale, but ended up getting some super potent bath bombs instead.

Re: Empties

First post in the empties thread!  You girls have inspired me.  🙂  

 

Loves: (Items I've already or definitely will repurchase!)

 

Spoiler

Murad clarifying wipes - I keep these on hand at all times.  I am terrified of running out.  

 

Jargons Wet Skin Moisturizer - I hate the sticky feeling of moisturizer after a shower.  This is great.  I got more in the target box, so I'm excited to try it again.  

 

Fresh Rose Face Mask - made my skin super soft.  Love!

 

Rita Hazan Weekly Remedy - Super soft hair!  Usually I have to henna my hair to make it as soft and silky as this treatment made it. 

 

Urban decay primers - I was actually able to wear my favorite space cowboy eyeshadow with these underneath.

 

Tarte Maracuja Concealer - already bought the full size!

 

YSL Touch Eclat - LOVE!  If only it weren't so expensive!

 

Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle - I haven't used detangler since I was in elementary school, but this made my hair super soft and it smells really good. 🙂

Likes:  (Items I liked, but probably won't purchase, or everyday items I use but don't love)

 

Spoiler

Agave Oil Treatment - meh. Not impressed. 

 

Boscia Pore Purifying Black Strips - I bought a pack of these, but they don't seem to do much for me. 

 

Garnier Fructose Marvelous Oil - about the same as the agave oil. 

 

Ayres body polish  - great, but too expensive to justify a repurchase.

 

Harvey Prince Hello body cream - it took me forever to finally use this up!  I loved the smell at first, but I am so sick of it by now!

 

Degree motion sense

 

BB Hairdresser's invisible oil shampoo and conditioner - not as effective as I was hoping!  I loved the invisible oil and invisible oil primer, but these weren't great.  

 

St. Ives Apricot Scrub - too rough for my skin.  

 

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream

 

Jane Iredale foundation sample 

 

Body Lotion (brand I'm forgetting - from Birchbox) - smelled great 

 

Temple Spa Peace be Still - too watery for my liking

 

Coolway Hair Treatment - I didn't find it to be effective

 

Paula's Choice KP Clinical Treatment Cloths - Great, but I don't have a huge problem, so they didn't help much!


MINU Shampoo

Number 4 Shampoo

Naobay Body Lotion

Head to Toe Body Lotion - so creamy!

 

FullSizeRender.jpgFullSizeRender_1.jpg

 

Dislikes: (Items I won't be purchasing, or items I couldn't bring myself to finish!) 

Spoiler
Rainforest Aromatherapy Gel - ugh, horrible scent!

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream - not effective for me 

Murad Acne Clearing Solution - Love the wipes - but this didn't work for me

Attitude Shampoo and Shampoo and Body Wash.  I have an innate distrust of body wash / shampoo combinations!  But I found these to be drying. 

Wrong color for me:  Dr. Jart+ BB cream, Hourglass Immaculate liquid powder, and Lancôme Dual Finish powder

Full sized items I dislike to the point that I'm not going to finish them: 

Cynthia Rowley eyeliner - I have the pencil version in silver, and I love it, but the gel version is so streaky and rough that it hurts my eyelids to apply it!  

NYC Love in Rio Palette - not pigmented, and fall out like crazy!

Vintage highlighter - way too pink to use as a highlighter, not strong enough to show up as an eyeshadow!

Re: Empties

Nice range of empties!  Looks like you polished off quite a few samples.

Re: Empties

Welcome to the thread! You used up a ton of products this month - very impressive!

Re: Empties

I spy a Birchbox Lover. So many goodies. MINU is a LOVE of mine.
