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.
Holy moly I am seriously amazed my face just looked like 😮 and O.O for a second when I saw this. Don't think I'll EVER get to this level with even one pan haha...
Wow, I applaud you! I can't remember the last time I hit pan on a single eyeshadow let alone finish an entire palette!
i made this my mission this year! it went easier than i thought it would!
I take it you liked that palette? I've been pondering the too faced matte one.
@WhereYouStandit was a nice palette but it doesn't offer a whole lot of diversity in shades. i'm not sure if i'd repurchase it but i'm glad that i was able to use it up.
i'm trying to see how much i can use up for the too faced matte eye palette and the boudoir eye palette. right now both are super close to getting decluttered!
i find the matte palette isn't the easiest to work with. takes a lot of effort to get any pigmentation and colour payoff and then there is a lot of powder kick up when i finally do
Thanks sparklekai for the feedback this is good to know. there seems to be a big hype around too faced eyeshadow palettes I was just curious if they were worth it or a tad overrated. I have been eyeing many of their palettes but still debating this gives me some info on the neutral mattes in those palettes. I think i will wait on purchasing it now. 🙂
I decided to finally get my butt in gear so here are my empties for the first six months of the year. Some of these are upside down or sideways, but hoping I can fix that tomorrow as my computer at home is giving me troubles. 😞
Makeup items:
Hourglass Illusion and LM tinted moisturizer are HG products for me and have already been repurchased. I also really, really liked the Ambient Light Color Correcting Primer and am strongly considering purchasing it. I also really liked Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc in Pink Mosaic but it was on the old side and crumbled on a recent trip.
Face Cleansers & Facial Wipes:
I love Ole Henriksen wipes (especially the smell of Eucalyptus) so those have already been repurchased as has the Glamglow Thirsty Cleanse which is another love for me.
Lotions, Serums, Oils, & Treatments
Caudalie Premier Cru L'Elixir & Serum are both loves for me and have been repurchased. I was also pleasantly surprised by how much I loved the L'Occitane Ultra Riche Cream. It was perfect for the winter. My prescription Aczone cream in the back is also my go to for managing acne. But perhaps my favorite find in the last six months was Tatcha Indigo Soothing Triple Recovery Cream. I love how silky it feels on my skin and it really helps with my skin dryness. I will admit the price tag is hard to swallow but once I work my way through my lotion and cream stash I am really considering it.
Antiperspirant, toothpaste, and perfume:
Boring stuff above, though I was pumped to finally have used up Vera Wang Lovestruck. It takes me FOREVER to use up a perfume and I think I can only remember using up one other perfume.
Masks, peels, scrubs, etc:
I wish this one wasn't upside down, but hoping I can fix it! Obviously I love the Dr. Dennis Gross peels. Glamglow Thirsty Mud, and Ole Henriksen Lemon Strip Peel are also loves for me as is the Juice Beauty Sensitive Skin Peel. I also quite like First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Instant Oatmeal Mask. Of the sheet masks, the Jurlique masks were my favorite, but they were sadly discontinued.
Hair:
Lots of loves in this photo. Devacurl and Davines products remain loves for me. (Most of my Davines products got tossed. 😞 ) I also love the DryBar Bay Breeze Hydrating Shots. And the Alterna Caviar Shampoo and Conditioner were great.
Body, soap, etc.

Vacation Empties:
Oh man! And I thought my three months was a lot! Lol, where have you been storing all of this?
I love the smell of that love shampoo. My hubs uses it and I love sniffing his hair, lol.
I have a pretty decent-sized master bathroom (at least for the city). I have two sinks and each has a cabinet underneath so one is dedicated to empties and MISC.
OMG! Very impressive! I was noticing you cut the tops off some of the tubes. Was that to get all of the product out at the end? What a good idea.
I wish I went through more of my products a little faster. It would give me a better excuse to try more stuff! 😉 my husband is always like why do you need that when you already have drawers full of stuff....
Yep! You're 100% correct as to why I cut the tops off. I don't always do it (if something is just meh to me it's not worth the bother) but if it's awesome and/or expensive I do.
This is amazing! I wish I had the self control to hold onto my empties that long.
Definitely not intentional! I meant to
do it monthly but kept putting it off!
Totally worth the wait! Not sure again where to start, so I will leave it at WOW!
Thanks! Hoping I can go back to monthly as it is too hard to remember back to write full reviews of some things other than the regulars and products I loved. Though it was fun to do a big empties post once to see some of my patterns.
Holy empties! Good job using up products.
Thanks! I really have been trying to use things up thanks to this thread. I now want to try to go through my samples and FS products more regularly to prioritize things I should use up first.

Just a few empties this month and nothing I didn't like.
I'm feeling inspired to try that purple glamglow mask tonight.
That cleansing balm is one of my favorites!
I really like it too. It almost has a warming sensation when it first goes on which I really enjoy.
