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.

@TKLJ Yeah I have a feeling once I try that mist all others will pale in comparison.  I really want to splurge and get it next time there is a good sale or promo but I have other mists I really need to get through first.  Currently using the renewed hope in a jar mist and I hate it.  Stings my skin.

That's great on the masks.  I've been trying to use them a couple times a week now that I have a pretty good stash of sheet masks.  But it's a lot easier to do a regular cream or mud mask since I find that to get them to 100% stay put I have to be sitting or lying down vs. moving around.

[TKLJ]

@kelloua I'm lucky that most sheet masks stay on my face pretty well (although there have been troublemakers), because I find them much easier than wash-off masks. I'm just too lazy to wash them off! 🙂

[kelloua]

I'm jealous!  Try as I might to straighten them out I feel like the parts on my chin or the sides of my face sometimes shift.  Not to mention sometimes I feel like the dimensions of my face must be weird because the eye/lip/nose holes don't always fit right.

RIP poor highliners. I've wanted to try the Besame Violet powder forever. I am thinking of seriously getting some in my VIB sale haul, but my list is too long. I hope it makes the cut.

[TKLJ]

So the violet powder. I mean, I love it and I want another one. But it is just setting powder. I'd rather get more fun stuff at the sale first. And the full price isn't too bad if you end up getting it at another time without a discount. 🙂

My Josie Maran oil bottle did the same thing! I was pissed. It didn't leak every where but I had to transfer to smaller container. I think the oil is just ok not wow'd by it but want to use it up because I paid for it!

[TKLJ]

So obnoxious. 😞

LOVE all your masks and YuBe!! 

You're making me want to run out and buy more masks as well as the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery oil!

Wonderful Empties list!!

[TKLJ]

Thanks, @Fernleaf. As for the YuBe ... this tube fell under my bed and lived there for a year. I pulled it out and realized I hadn't missed it at all and didn't even want to bother finishing the tube.

[Fernleaf]

Haha yuck I wouldn't have used it either at that point! I don't like losing things under my bed.. my cat constantly plays with my stuff and much ends up there.

August empties:

There were a few dislikes in the bunch that I couldn't wait to get rid of, but mostly there were a lot of old standbys and new loves.

The Davines Oi line continues to be my holy grail haircare line and I used up my shampoo, conditioner, oil and milk. (All already repurchased.) I also really liked the Davines Sea Salt spray that I got from @notcreative in a trade.  I have another TS bottle that I got from my sister that I am excited to use next.  I also really enjoy the Kevin Murphy Blonde Angel treatment.  I've been slacking on using it lately and my hair looks more yellow to my eye.  For the Deva Curl I had used up both a sample of the coconut cream styler and a full-size of the original and have decided I like the coconut version better and purchased that to replenish instead.

Dr. Dennis Gross peels, Ole Henriksen wipes (x2), Lush Ocean Salt, Lush Celebration, Caudalie hand cream and Anastasia Brow Gel are also all loves.

One new discovery I had this month was a scalp treatment from Caviar that I found at Marshall's on deep discount.  It's an interesting treatment you massage into the scalp, leave on for a few minutes, and wash out.  I don't have problems with dandruff but I do have a dry, itchy scalp so it seems to work for that.

All six of the sheet masks I tried were good, but I think I liked the Blue Dress Code Mask the best.  I can see why they are a favorite around here.  My skin looked really healthy afterwards.

The only real no's this month were the Pores No More Primer (felt like spackle) and Amore Pacific Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Cream (too perfume-y).

I got a little lazy about reviewing everything next month.  (With September's empties I'm going to try a new process of writing up thoughts as I finish something so at the end of the month it's not like I have to write out a novel at a whole time.)

I am so glad you liked it. I've only used mine once more since we talked about it, so I still have tons left.

I use the Alterna Caviar spray everyday and have been interested in trying the massage version. I also have a dry, itchy scalp that dandruff shampoo does nothing for. 

[kelloua]

Yes thank you again for that.  It works perfectly with my hair type and I especially like the scent.

I really like this Alterna product.  Unfortunately it seems like it was meant to be an in-salon treatment from what I have gathered because I can't find it anywhere.  But it was a good Marshall's bargain.  Of course that's the downside of Marshall's, when I really love something and am SOL about getting more.

I just bought that foot mask today whilst getting my UD lipglosses.  I can't use it yet though because peeling and open toed shoes do not go well together.  It can't possibly peel like the Baby foot ones I get from Amazon tho.

[notcreative]

I am definitely going to pick up the TonyMoly Foot socks. Was going to get them in Ulta 10x points if they included it, but it was only 5x. Should have gotten it anyway at 5x. 

[CRAZY4MASCARA]

My feet peeled a lot!! More than what I expected but they look better now. Not completely baby soft but good results
