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.

Wow, I only have the ambient powder palette and I've had it for a year and haven't made a dent yet. I always wondered what it would look like once I hit pan.

That is incredible! 

[heartsmyface]

Oh wow!  Great job on emptying the ambient powder!   I'm in awe. 

[JennVA]

Thanks! Now if I could manage to finish just one lipstick...

[heartsmyface]

I've finished two in my lifetime.  Just two.  

I'm nearing the end of MAC Barely Lit soon.  Sigh.  By the end of summer perhaps cause I just don't have it in me to wear the same lipstick everyday. 

[JennVA]

I think that's my problem too. I have no problem committing to neutral face products like face powders and foundations and concealers, but when it comes to colored cosmetics? Total commitment issues.

First time empties poster.  This is only the second half of April cause that's when I started.

Which Pathology mask is that? I have a funny fascination with that egg mask. It is sticky, but I still like it.

Welcome!  Great empties.  I like how you labeled what is what in the photo.

Good empties for half a month!

I love the MB spray too!

[annec322]

Thanks...I feel all you ladies are putting me to shame here.  I better step it up lol

April Empties!! Proud of these... I finished probably my first FS moisturizer this month!! Again, probably won't go through and itemize because there are SO many, but if you're curious about anything just ask!3

Loves: Have or would repurchase

Meh: Just ok, would use but not pay for

Nope: Hated, in some cases didn't even finish

Spoiler

Some of these were just the wrong color, or are being purged because they dried out. The coconut+cream hand lotion was too greasy, the Strivectin stretch marks cream I got no results from (this is the 2nd or 3rd DS I've used, too), the NYX white eye base was just ew to work with, and I've decided I hate fiber mascara do that accounts for most of those DSes.

Great job. So many great things here.

[kelloua]

This is EXTREMELY impressive.  I bow down to your empties.  Looks like you made some really, really nice progress on full size items, deluxe samples and foils.

The PTR was just ok. It wasn't drying like other clay/mud masks usually are, which was nice, but I didn't feel like it did a great job clearing out pores or otherwise actually helping my face. It doesn't hold a candle to the Origins Charcoal mask, for example. But if you don't need heavy-duty detoxing, and normal clay/mud masks are too drying for you, this might be a good option.

The philosophy Clear things are salicylic acid pads. I got them from the Outlet section of the direct site (aka their old stock clearance aisle), so I'm not sure if they're still making them. They were comparable to the FAB pads, maybe a bit stronger. If you like those you'd like these too. 

[annec322]

How did you use all of these up?  I'm impressed!

[JazaChai]

Hah well, a  number of them are in the "purge" category; all the mascara DSes are either old and dried out, or the fiber ones that I tried once and decided to ditch. Same with the TF Melted Fuschia (I have the FS and this one kinda exploded)

The rest of it is basically a bunch of stuff finishing all at once, like the FAB pads and the philosophy Clear ones, both of which I've had for months and just happened to finish at the same time.

I have one of the Amorepacific cushions as well from Nordstrom's, when they offered it as a GWP.  I wanted so much to love it -- the formula blends in so well, the applicator doesn't soak up too much product, the high SPF...but WOW is the fragrance strong in this product!  On me, the scent lingers for hours after I apply it, and my skin has a couple more little bumps after using this (probably from being irritated by the high synthetic fragrance content).

The drybar Hydrating Shots were a new-found love for me this month as well!  I redeemed one for 100 points, tried it and loved the results so much that I redeemed for a couple more!

What product is in the compact in the first picture?

[JazaChai]

It's the Burberry Earthy blush mini from the beauty box set they had when the brand launched at Sephora. I already bought the FS replacement lol. I use it for contour basically every day, it's great for my fair/light skin and for once not too warm.

[angel7594]

Thank you, I thought it was an eye shadow lol!
