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.

[bvnny]

I love both, had new ones waiting for me before I even finished these because I couldn't go without. The off your face pads were on sale, so I got a bunch for phys ed. an the gym. But the OH ones smell amazing, and I swear they make my skin feel better instead of just cleaning my makeup off. 

PTR Correction pads seriously reduced any acne I was getting from my germy phone and all my stress. And they've replaced toner for me in the morning. They're awesome but I scrub too hard sometimes and look like I fell on my face, lol. ❤️

[crayzeeRN]

Awesome, thanks for replying 🙂 I've had the PTR Pads on my Love list for a couple weeks, definitely going to try them during the November sale! Going to consider the OH Wipes too 🙂

[wendyomgwar]

I LOVE the PTR pads

[arielaaaaaaaa]

I'm excited i have empties!!!!! 😄

Nexxus YSerum Restore Shampoo- I also finished the Conditioner awhile back and i hate them both. I will most likely not use Nexxus again. 

Dermorganic Hair Masque- I still have the Shampoo and i do like them but not enough to rebuy them. 

Macadamia Natural Moisturizing Rinse- Not a huge fan of this or the Shampoo!! I'll stick to using only the Masque, Oil, And cream from this brand.

Alterna Luminous Shine Shampoo- I'm not sure how i feel about this or the conditioner, The smell is alittle weird to me, it's not something i would use again. 

Alterna Bamboo Smooth Anti Frizz Conditioner- I felt like this and the Shampoo were really thick. I wasn't a fan the very first time i used them. But i started to like the conditioner on it's own after a few uses. If it was on sale i might buy it.

Murad Clarifying Cleanser- Uhm if you know me, it's a no brainer.... I LOVE this cleanser! 

PTR Anti Aging Cleansing Gel- It's alright, I've got another bottle of this lying around i'll get around to using it sometime, but i wouldn't buy it again. 

Sephora by OPI Nail polish remover- Gets the job done fast and easy. I will most likely buy it again when i run out of what i currently have

GlamGlow Super Mud- No way would i repurchase. I went though that tiny thing wayyyyy too fast. And didn't do anything significant

MUFE Aqua Cream in 13 Warm Beige- I used half and it dried up so i'm counting it as empty cause it's useless. But not a fan. I bought it cause a MUFE MUA used it on me but it just didn't work when i tried and creased most the time. 

Tarte Maracuja Oil- I hate the way it smells, doesn't do anything that my Argan oil doesn't do. 

[wendyomgwar]

Look at all that hair care! OMG lol.

[arielaaaaaaaa]

 I even threw some away forgetting i was collecting empties lol!!! 😄

[Katty2323]

so I finally started USING some of my samples rather than just staring at them. I recently got a new shower head filter and some mineral/chlorine remover treatments for my hair... I've had a bunch of products that worked great but then would stop so tons of half used bottles... now that I have the new stuff I am revisiting old favorites and realizing what I've been missing. I realllly love the organix moroccan argan oil line. I've tried some pretty pricey ones but none give me the results these ones did. i just finished up a hair oil and a hair mask. totally going to be a rebuy once i finish all of my other stuff... those hair build up removers were a miracle! i finished up the pantene overnight miracle treatment... will not buy... i always get sucked into commercials... everyone was raving about it... now the loreal total repair line actually lived up to the hype... the new repair stuff from pantene has been blah.  and lastly i dunno if these really count as an empty... lol... from my millions of orders i had 5 of the urban decay lipstick samples and i cannot stand open little foil packets and figured it'd go bad or dry out or get wasted... so i melted them down into 4 26mm pans and popped them in my lip palette... lol 5 of each color is the perfect fill amount in case anyone was wondering!

[OwlAndTanager]

I love that you melted down the sample, ahh! I have to remember this. 

[crayzeeRN]

I'm currently working on an Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Hair Mask too and I was surprised to find that I LOVE it. Gives comparable results to my (much more expensive) Fekkai Shea Conditioner.

[wendyomgwar]

Omg I just got some mini stuff of the Organix brand because everyone keeps talking about it! I seriously can't wait to use up my current stuff!

[melde]

Great idea!

[arielaaaaaaaa]

That's a pretty Genius idea! I wouldn't have thought to do that with samples! 

[ChicDabbler]

More empties, yay....

- Lavanilla body butter (cut up the tube before I realized I haven't taken a pic)

- Dr. Brandt retinol serum

- Dr. Brandt retinol day cream

- Murad clarifying mask

- Philosophy lip balm

[DTalksAll]

so you finished the dr. brandt? Why I have I not been updated on this?!?! 

[ChicDabbler]

@dannyc. Well, I haven't finished the pink day cream yet. I didn't like either of the glow duos. I think they speed up the acne/surfacing on the chin, unless that was just hormone. However, they didn't have any effect on the Big Boss, the bumps on my cheeks. I'm using Skinfood peach sake serum + Koh Gen Do moisturizer at night, and the retinol/shiseido for day. When I'm done with the day cream I'll move on to the other exfoliator/peel options.

[wendyomgwar]

I was gonna ask if you cut up the tubes thanks for the answer lol. 

[ChicDabbler]

I do indeed. I like tubes because it's more sanitary/minimal air exposure, but you'd be surprised by how much you can get after you squeezed everything out from the tube. I always manage to get at least a sample jar's worth (2-3 more use) after I cut them up.

Now the best part: I CAN FINALLY THROW THEM AWAY! YAY! 🙂

[bvnny]

Oooh I got the Pssst! Dry Shampoo in my KlutchBox the other month, and I actually really liked it. What did you think of it? 🙂

[mpolansky]

I liked it too! It was the first dry shampoo I've ever tried and I thought it really helped control the oil! I finally started letting my hair go 2-3 days before washing it. It worked best when I sprayed it in the oilier sections right before bed, and I woke up without oily roots! But it did leave pretty obvious white powder in my hair so I had to rub my scalp/roots a fair amount before going out anywhere. So I think I may try the Batiste dry shampoo for Blonde/Light hair... hoping that won't leave the same white powder look!

Plus I have a 20% coupon to use at Ulta so I'll be getting it on sale. 🙂

[bvnny]

Yeah, it wasn't perfect but it did work. I also like oscar blandi dry shampoo, but a lot of people don't like the lemony smell, so I don't want to reccomend it and have you yell at me later 😛
