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.

[m26430]

You did an amazing job! What an empties post 🙂

[heartsmyface]

Thanks, though I think it just looks more impressive cause I haven't posted in so long.  It is very satisfying to look at though! ☺️

[m26430]

Loved all of them and already have repurchased 4 of the above. 

[shadetertiary]

Loving all the Lush!  Tell me more about the Love and Light!

[notcreative]

Great empties. I hate the bottles like the Clinique where they waste a lot of product. Does it open up?

[jeyrosella]

I am hearing so many good things about the May Coop Raw Sauce. I recently got a sample and I'm excited to try it 🙂 

[m26430]

It's great! My holy grail essence. Before using the Raw Sauce I used SKII and their essence did nothing for me. With the Raw Sauce, I noticed effects immediately. I hope you have a great experience with your sample.

[heartsmyface]

Oh no, really?   I'm just finishing up my fresh black tea toner and will be moving on to the skII.  I hope my skin likes it.

ooh   I always wanted to try Angels on Bare Skin and Cup O' Coffee 

[m26430]

Angels on Bare Skin is my holy grail cleanser from Lush (and maybe ever). Very gentle, soothing, and effective. 

Cup O' Coffee is pretty abrasive and can cause irritation on the face if not used with caution. it's also pretty messy. However, I cannot resist the coffee smell 🙂

[MSena]

Thanks for explaining! 

Is Cup O'Coffee more abrasive than say, Mask of Magnaminty? I really love the idea of a coffee mask 

[m26430]

No problem! Cup O' Coffe is definitely more abrasive than Mask of Magnaminty. I find MoM to be creamy and whereas CoC is more sticky due to the syrup that is in the ingredient list. What makes CoC abrasive is that the coffee grounds are sooooo tiny and sharp. And there is a lot of them. It's almost a sand-like feeling.

On the other hand, MoM's main exfoliant is the beans. However i find the beans are in bigger chunks and are relatively soft so they don't have that gritty feeling like the coffee grinds do. 

CoC is great and is a wonderful coffee scrub. I fairly enjoy it on my face and body. I just think that Lush could have emphasized that it's probably their most abrasive scrub and not as "gentle" as they advertise.

Sorry for the long explanation, hope this helps! 

[MSena]

This was super helpful. Thank you so much! 

Probably won't use it on my face but I'm still tempted to buy a small tub just for my feet & elbows and such 😄

Really glad you liked the Raw Sauce, it is my holy grail!:D

[karap03]

I am obsessed! buying the full size soon

[CRAZY4MASCARA]

What do you think of the dry shampoo? Can you tell me more? I've been looking at it for awhile now. 

[karap03]

I love it. It is really refreshing and soothing. Most dry shampoos end up making my scalp itchy but this one didn't. It doesn't add volume really, but it does a great job at absorbing oil at the roots. I have medium brown hair and the tinted version is really nice because it doesn't leave a white cast in my hair. 

[CRAZY4MASCARA]

I'll be trying the travel size!

[msbookish]

First time posting in empties but hoping this will motivate me to work through my stash to account for all the make-up splurges I went on last year!

Love: Simple Cleansing Wipes, Origins A Perfect World toner and Tarte Camera Lights Lashes
Like: Clinique Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream, Sephora brush it off cleansing brush wipes and Sephora Colorful Blush in No. 5 Sweet on You. 

No dislikes so that's great! 

[blondesluv2shop]

I bought the Sephora brush wipes in January and used 4 of them last month. I am SO impressed! I use my kabuki brush everyday to apply foundation and I clean it with brush shampoo about twice a week. I had just assumed that the bristles would permanently be stained brown, but then I used a wipe on it and they are white again. I was blown away!
