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 can definitely see that.  It's a very rich cream and can see where it would be overkill with their other products.

Re: Empties

This is the first time I've ever had problems loading pictures in this thread, but I am bookmarking to come back and see what your products are if the picture ever loads.

Re: Empties

Looks like some great empties.  I've been meaning to try that Omorovicza cleansing balm.  So many samples I need to get to.

Re: Empties

I got a foil and loved it! Kept trying to get my hands on it but it was always sold out. I was finally able to get the DS but I think it was way better the first time I tried it.

Re: Empties

I've been putting off my Needles No More sample trying to use older ones first, but I really want to try it. Sometimes having too much stuff is a pain in the butt. 

Re: Empties

Don't put it off!   Just get into it!   It's seriously good stuff!   I've repurchased it twice and am always stalking for samples of it!   It initially took about a month to notice results.  

Re: Empties

I know what you mean!  I'm having the same problem.  It kind of makes me wish I had a second face to try everything out.

Re: Empties

I feel like it really helps me with a small wrinkle I have on my forehead. 

Re: Empties

That's it. I am opening it. Thanks!

Re: Empties

Hope you like it!!

Grrr...not sure why 1 picture is correct and the others are sideways! Sorry!

 

Loves-

  • Caudalie Polyphenol Anti-wrinkle Defense Serum- I love this and my skin freaks out when I don't use it. I'm on my third bottle now!

 

Likes/Might Buy Again-

  • Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash- loved it had a pump but wasn't moisturizing enough
  • Sephora Soft Touch Cotton Pads- These are decent and are a good option to add to my cart to qualify for a promo code
  • Belif True Cream Aqua Bomb-  I like this one during the summer but it's comparable to other gel moisturizers I own.  Personally, I like the moisturizing bomb better
  • Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet- I enjoyed this and need to go through some sample vials before I decide to purchase a bottle
  • TATCHA Pure One Step Camelia Cleansing Oil-  I loved the scent and thought it removed makeup well.  Will definitely use samples
  • Tarte Lights, Camer, Lashes mascara- I really enjoyed this but like other mascaras better

 

Likes/Won't Buy Again/Will Use Sample-

  • Batiste Dry Shampoo in Original- It gets the job done but it's not my favorite scent
  • Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo & Conditioner- Enjoyed the scent and cleaned/conditioned my hair well. Will use samples again
  • Boscia Detox Black Cleanser- Enjoyed it but don't see myself buying a full size until I finish other face wash samples
  • Benefit POREfessional- It fine, but I don't use primer often enough to justify buying a full size 
  • Glamglow Power Cleanse Mud and Oil to Foam- Loved the smell but not sure it's worth the price
  • Glamglow Youth Cleanse- Enjoyed and will use samples but no intention of buying it
  • Hask Keratin Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner- Didn't wow me but would use a sample again
  • Garnier Fortifying Shampoo- Would use to travel but dries out my wavy hair
  • Dr Brandt PoreDermabrasion Pore Perfecting Exfoliator- I like a more gritty exfoliator but will use samples again
  • Lancome CILS BOOSTER XL- I feel like my lashes don't need a primer but I would use a sample again

 

Not For Me-

  • Supergoop Defense Refresh Setting Mist with Rosemary**- Didn't leave a matte finish as advertised on the bottle and the spray nozzle kept getting clogged
  • Sephora Coconut Hand Wash- Purchased as an item to qualify for a promo code. Left my hands dry after using
  • Dior Lip Maximizer 001**- not a fan of lipgloss or mint in my lip products
  • LORAC Lip Lustre Cream**- Bought off Hautelook and didn't like how thick it was.  Plus, I don't like lipgloss so not sure why I bought it
  • Dolce and Gabanna Dolce Rosa Excelsa-  Was nice but didn't last long on my skin
  • CAOLION Premium Hot & Cool Pore Pack Duo-  Didn't like the consistency and it didn't do anything for my skin
  • Malin + Goetz Grapefruit Face Cleanser- dried out my skin
  • AHAVA Deadsea Water Mineral Hand Cream- Didn't provide enough moisture and the scent was too powerful and lingered. 
  • Molton Brown Rhubarb and Rose Shower Gel- Didn't like the scent
  • Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash- Broke me out so bad!!!
  • Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze**- I used this once and didn't like it.  Now it's starting to dry out
  • NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation- Color match was great but I rarely wear foundation and this sat on my skin
  • Flower by Kenzo eau de parfum- Nope. Didn't like the smell
  • Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser- Didn't like the texture and it dried out my skin

Hotel Samples

  • Mineral Fusion Fortifying Shampoo- nothing special
  • Bergamote 22 Shower Gel (x2), Shampoo, Conditioner- Loved the scent! Will use again the next time I stay at a Park Hyatt
  • Pantene Classic Clean Shampoo, Conditioner- I love the smell of Pantene products
  • WIRU Shampoo, Body Wash- AMAZING scent!  Sadly it's exclusive to Ayers Rock, Australia

**Throwing out/did not finish

Re: Empties

Now you're making me curious about that Caudalie serum.  Not sure if it's being discontinued (or just the set that contains it) but saw a set that included I believe that serum full sized at Nordstrom Rack for a steal of a deal!

Re: Empties

I saw this too. I'm debating on going back and getting it

Re: Empties

I picked that Caolion set for my Soko to Tokyo set without sampling it or reading any reviews. I have not tried it yet, but I really think I should have read more reviews before selecting it. I've seen a few similar to yours now.

 

Which hotel uses Pantene products? 

Re: Empties

I haven't used my Caolion set yet, but now I'm not looking forward to it.

Re: Empties

It wasn't a hotel per se but was a vacation condo on an island off the coast of Australia. I lumped it in with the others 🙂

Re: Empties

Got it. I remember staying at a time share where they did not have any products at all. It was crazy, because I had to make a store run. I never travel with shampoo and I ran to the store and got TreSemme. I wondered if the Pantene was a similar experience for you.

Shout out to @greenporchlights

for the Baies candle she gifted me for my birthday. It's such a great well rounded scent and a great burn. 

Re: Empties

Like that you put them all on a shelf!  I always love how many candles you make it through.  You seem to go through them like crazy!

Re: Empties

I cannot see which Fresh product that is in the likes. Is it the lip serum? I have a love/hate relationship with that, because it is long-lasting and leaves my lips so soft. It tastes terrible though!
