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.
@fieldsofclover I think The Creme Shop is still my most favorite, but have seen some good results from these masks!
I kinda use the Sephora masks and lip balms as fillers in my orders- to get the price up for a promo! So, I have slowly collected a nice little variety of these 😉 -but for some reason I can’t get myself to buy the Algae one, haha! Does it smell ok? I’m a little picky with scents😬
@Shosh85 Yeah, exactly. I don't go out of my way to buy them on their own, but I'm happy to top off an online order or get a few at JCP to snag a promo.
(Although I am thinking about getting that Holy Sheet set... 👀)
The algae one just smells a little ocean-y. I don't buy the singles, but I use them if they come in sets and they're ok.
@eshoe Yes exactly, I was doing the skincare equivalent of licking the jar clean. With a lovely kale scent 😂🥗
Better late than never ! Here are my empties for the month of April 😊
Loves
The Face Shop Brightening MasCream Sheet
Too Faced HangoverX Replenishing Face Primer
Shiseido Pureness Balancing Softener Alcohol-Free : Seems to not be available in Canada anymore .. This has been my holy grail since high school. I am now trying out the Clarins Iris Toning Lotion and it seems to work just as good, if not better ! I guess it will be my replacement for the Shiseido one.
Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior™ 2-in-1 Plumping Moisturizer + Serum (Deluxe Sample) : i hate that I love it ... It's quite pricey, but it leaves my skin looking and feeling amazing ! I might splurge at the next VIB sale, but until then I have other products in my stash to use up !
The Face Shop Real Nature Rice Face Mask
Tonymoly I’m Real Pore Care Red Wine Mask Sheet
Tonymoly I’m Real Soothing Tea Tree Mask Sheet
Tonymoly I’m Real Skin Purifying Seaweeds Mask Sheet
The Face Shop Firming MasCream Sheet
Karine Joncas Dermo-Lift Corrective Eye Patch x 2
The Face Shop Real Nature Cucumber Face Mask
Murad City Skin Overnight Detox Moisturizer : Instant results ! It's a bit pricey, so I haven't repurchased it and I am now using something else. I might buy again later this year.
Clinique Naturally Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
The Face Shop Real Nature Green Tea Face Mask

Meh
Sephora Collection Show Curl XL Lash Curler – for Deep Set Eyes : Worked fine at first, but after changing the pad it was horrible ! No matter how I put it in, it wouldn’t curl half of my lashes .. I switched to the Kevyn Aucoin’s curler and it’s much better 1
The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Water : The product in itself was very good, but the pump dispenses way too much product at the time. I went through the bottle super fast, no matter how cautious I was. I would use again, but not pay full price for it ! I believe I paid 15$ CAD and it lasted around 3 weeks.
Nope
John Frieda Full Repair Strengthen + Restore Shampoo : I used to always use the John Frieda products, but my hair doesn't seem to like it anymore .. It left my scalp super oily and weighted it down as well.
Trubeauty Gold Foil Under-eye Masks : NOPE ! As soon as I removed it from the package, I could feel that they were quite dry. There was a good amount of the serum in the package. I have 4 more pairs to try, I hope they aren't all the same ...
Finished 105 products so far this year !
I’ve been having fun using my overflow of samples.
Loved the La Mer moisturizers, to the point that maybe someday with the right combination of gift cards and liquid courage I may spoil myself. Also really liked the Amore Pacific Hydra Gel. Liked, but didn’t love, the Sunday Riley Luna Oil. I also used all seven days of the Lancome Genefique. Actually each packet lasted me probably 3-4 days so I did the “test” for quite a while. I didn’t think it was doing much but I got a surprising amount of compliments on my skin, which has happened exactly zero times before. So now I’m wondering if it’s worth buying.
I may have listed my GlamGlow Moisturizer before. (Apologies if I already did.) I love this and will buy again when I finish up some other products. Everything else here is ok. I adore the sol de Janiero lip balm and have repurchased many times. The only thing I outright hated was the Algenist eye cream on the end. Not sure if it went bad before I got it or what but it smelled like bad dairy. The Drunk Elephant cleanser made my face feel too tight and I wouldn’t buy it for myself but it wasn’t the worst thing in the world.
Because I forgot to stick them in the other pic - two little MAC Fix+s from their holiday collection. One still has a couple sprays left in it but I figured I would probably have “Back to MACed” it before another empties post so I wanted to include it now.
Great job @starsandbucks - I just bought the GlamGlow Nude Glow moisturizer - which one do you use?
@HookedOnBeauty2 It’s the GlamGlow Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturizer in Nude Glow. I don’t know what the secret ingredient is but my skin feels like velvet when I use it.
Great job, @starsandbucks! You've been moving through your samples!
Thanks @curlychiquita! Getting them organized was an eye-opener for me. But now that actually finding what I want isn’t a daunting trip through the seven circles of hell, experimenting with my samples is pretty fun.
Caudalie VineActiv Glow Activating Anti-Wrinkle Serum - This is my current morning serum. I think this was my 2nd bottle and I had a backup ready to go. It absorbs great into the skin, it helps with evening the skin tone. I love it!
Here's some cumulative empties!! lots of good stuff here!
LOVED:
-Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Dry Shampoo
-Philosophy Purity
-Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream
-Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer (OMG I will no longer knock drugstore products. This is better than 90% of highend bronzers I have used.)
-Lorac Porefection Face Powder
-Korres Greek Yogurt Foaming Cream Cleanser (LOOOOVEEEEE)
-Chanel LE Volume De Chanel Mascara (nothing compares. Amazing.)
-Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra Longwear Concealer (The hype on this one is real. Way better than any of my other tube concealers for the under-eye. I will repurchase as soon as I work through my concealer stash!)
-Hourglass Mineral Veil Face Primer
Everything else was good and I enjoyed using it. The one thing I won't repurchase or recommend is the Bath and Body Works Sand and Sea Salt Scrub (what a mess in my shower - it is legit sand and I was worried it would ruin my drain! haha)
