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.

[mpolansky]

Ah you have it but haven't used it? What are you waiting for?! You'll love it.

[crayzeeRN]

You so should! I fell in love with it!

[WhereYouStand]

okay Sighs I am kind of a hoarder when it comes to makeup I don't ever want my stuff to end so I prolong it as long as possible. this is what I've got so far...it's not much but it's something & i will continually add more by re-editing my post the more I go through in the month of  January. 

As of right now I've used up:

• Origins - plantscription anti-aging oil-free cream
• Benefit Stay Flawless -Sample
• Burt's Bee's Coconut foot cream - Travel size bottle
• Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment sugar - mini

[WhereYouStand]

I will be repurchasing both the burt's bee's coconut foot cream  & the fresh sugar lip treatment in full sizes the benefit primer however was good as a sample just not something I want to spend 32.00 on as a full size item still pondering the origins plantscription i love the way it treated my face just don't love the price. don't know if I will buckle & buy or hold off a while I have a few more samples of it to help sway my opinion which is always a good thing.

[wendyomgwar]

I'm really on the edge of getting the Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser again, I loved it! But I already have so many unopened ones.... and I have another sample of the Hello Flawless Powder, I really liked it :)!

[crayzeeRN]

If I ever get through all my facial wash stash, the Boscia Black Cleanser is definitely one I would consider repurchasing! Really does the job 🙂

Just a small pile for me this month. My kitten wants to be a paw model when he grows up, do you think he has a future in the business? 😛

Love: Korres Wild Rose Sleeping Facial, which I have a backup of already; AmorePacific Future Response Age Defense Cream, very sad to be out of minis of this one! Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector, I’ve got more minis of this one; Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, which I love intensely, but it has been less effective as winter has begun, so I might give it a break; and Dr Brandt Retinol Hydracreme, something I hadn’t tried before but I liked how refreshed my skin felt after using this!

Hate: Origins High Potency Night a Mins cream, being thrown away half empty. It made me break out and didn’t absorb into my skin nicely. Also smelled like burned orange peels or something icky. Marc Jacobs mascara, which I tried to use for several weeks but it doesn’t lengthen or volumize my lashes well and its gel formula dries slowly and loves to smudge and smear everywhere somehow while it’s wet. Bleh.

Feeling Neutral: Bliss body wash, smells like bubble gum and I’m not fond of that, but it is a nice enough shower gel otherwise; O’Keefe’s hand cream, I actually use this on my feet mostly but it keeps them nice and soft. Nothing amazingly special though. La Mer Moisturizing cream, this stuff is super rich and I think it hydrates my skin well, but it reminds me too much of Nivea to make me want to pay the amount this stuff costs! Murad Oil-Free Sunscreen, nice enough non-greasy feeling SPF 30 cream, nothing special; Caudalie Vinexpert Broad Spectrum SPF15 Radiance Day Cream and Night Infusion Cream, I’m less impressed with their Vinexpert products than most of the others I’ve tried so far, but to be fair these sample tubes were pretty small. I’d want to give them a longer try before forming a stronger opinion.

Mr. Kitty definitely has a future in hand modeling- I am just impressed you kept him from plopping down directly on top of your pile as my cat would do if I was paying attention to anything but him!! LOL

I also hated Origins Night-a-mins. Gross! Peeled of my face like I was molting and broke me out!

Thanks for sharing! I LOVE THIS THREAD!

[Nicrohr]

use the night a mins on your feet! lol that's what I do with products I hate ;).

[crayzeeRN]

Hahaha, love the kitten paw sticking in the corner Rikkie!

[sangova]

I had a sample of marc jacob's mascara, and I hated it as well! It was the most terrible mascara I've ever tried. 

[sangova]

My empties this month! 

I challenged myself to finish all opened products before I move on to others. And well, shower gels were used by my BF and me 🙂 

What I will repurchase: 

Shower gels (I liked them all)

Guerlain foundation - I used a sample and I loved it!

Rhonda Allison raspberry toner

KDG Spa water

OH Vitamin C truth serum

Wella hair mask

Maybe (after I run out of everything)

Boscia cleanser and moisturizer

Carol's daughter body souffle

Origins GinZing moisturizer

The rest - I didn't care enough to consider repurchasing. 

[crayzeeRN]

Nicely done!

[Anonymous]

I don't have any photos of my empties as I didn't find this thread until mid December. And to list what all I used up or had to toss due to expiration dates or time opened last year  would take hours.

However the following I would repurchase or have repurchased & am currently using:

Algenist Retinol Serum & also their Lifting & Friming vream.

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide face & eye capsules as well as the toner.

Lipgloss from Smashbox, Ulta & LORAC

Mascara from LORAC, Smashbox

Eyeliner- Stila liquid & pencil,  Smashbox cream. LORAC dream & liquid/gel, Tarte & UD pencil

 Sunscreen: PTR Glycolic Acid Moisture & also Max Sheer SPF 30

Foundation  LORAC Natural Performance  or Givenchy Photo Perfexion.

Primer Hourglass Veil  or Smashbox Photo finish Light, Tarte Brightening

Blush- NARS Sin & the ONS palette

Cleanser CeraVe or Aveeno

Makeup remover KGD Spa water

Hair- Big Sexy

Shower Gel- Red Door

On the fence:

Dr. Perricone's Photo Plasma- jar packaging & price

HG Arch- It's a bit pricey & I'm still trying to get it right. Color may be a bit dark

Bumble & bumble Thickening set- Love what it does but has sulfates

TFSI & NARS eye primer-Like the Nars better than the TFSI but LORAC just works better for me

Would not repurchase:

ABH Catwalk palette- I foun d the colors weren't the best & quality wise it wasn't what I expected.

Benefit, They're Real- left my lashes hard.

Benefit That Gal & Porefressional-  lots of hype- no bang for me.

Want to try:

Alterna Hair care

Several brands of mascara

IT Cosmetics eye shadow palette.

[vanillammm]

The It Cosmetics naturally pretty palette is worth every penny. Lovely colors with a great texture and pigment. They blend really nicely for mattes shadows.

[jojobe]

So this is the biggest part of my empties for last month, There were more, but sadly I moved and they got pitched before the pictures! lol I have like 2 tubs of the Nutrix body lotion left to go through .THat is the one item that I always buy when Lancome has their gift with purchases!  I also finished up a glamglow tub after 3 months. I have my new pile being set aside for January  now.

[sangova]

empty lipstick? I can never finish one ( How long did it take to use it all? 🙂
