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.

I love how many masks and purfumes you used up, @Samtian!  I'll look up the SpaLife Rome Mask!

[Samtian]

@curlychiquita Thanks! I was sad thinking they probably didn't make that mask anymore, it was about to expire. But I found it for sale on their website!

Some things I used up on my vacation:

Loves:

DE C-Firma, Boscia Cleansing Oil, Nelson J Beverly Hills Hair Mask, Beauty w/o Cruelty Lotion, Tony Moly sheet mask

Spoiler

I already have repurchased both the DE and Boscia. Both the BWC and NJBH were surprisingly great. They really helped with my sunburn and pool fried hair, respectively. I liked the TM mask enough to repurchase, but might not use it religiously.

 Okays:Banana Boat, Cotz, and DE sunscreens, Youth to the People moisturizer

Spoiler

Last year, I developed some type of rash on my first day in the sun, I think I may be developing polymorphic light eruption, so this year I was really careful about the sunscreens I used. I strictly used physical ones for the first few days, which I think helped as I didn't have a reaction. The Cotz is a little too thick for easy application, but worked well. I don't think I like the DE smell. I was using it on my face, but it was too thick and the smell made me gag, so I used it on my body and it was fine. It's just more than I want to pay for body sunscreen. Once I got used to the sun, I was able to use the Banana Boat just fine. 

I think I might really like the YTTP moisturizer, it just wasn't quite enough to handle sunburned skin. But I think it'll be a good spring moisturizer. It didn't seem to cause any break outs, which is something I struggle with for a lot of face moisturizers.

Nopes:

Ayres body butter, Davines Minu shampoo, Beauty Protector body wash

Spoiler

Ayres wasn't moisturizing enough. Davines didn't clean well enough. I liked the feel of the Beauty Protector body wash, but the smell is WAY too strong.

I love all of the items you used up on vacation, @snoflakefaerie!  Having the travel sizes stocked up really helps!

Lots of great goodies @snoflakefaerie, I love when I can use the little things I save for traveling up! Hope you had a great trip!

[snoflakefaerie]

Thanks @CC3616. I feel like I'm never out in the sun enough to use up a sunscreen before it goes bad, so this trip was a success in that respect. It was really great to escape the snow and get lots of sunshine!

This a deluxe/travel size that came in a gift package with a full size glamglow clearing treatment mask.  I have dehydrated combo/oily skin and I love using this after any mud mask as my skin can get very parched and this is very hydrating.  I have a few other moisturizing masks currently, so not sure I'm going to go out and repurchase it right away but will definitely pick it up with points or as part of a package as a bonus.

Posting my recent empties to give you guys an idea of roughly how long these products last with near daily usage.

Too Faced Peach Perfect foundation- used 5x a week for 5 months.

Laura Mercier Translucent powder- used at least 5x a week for 1 year and 8 months.

[meghanneshea]

@gonerogue Thanks for letting us know how long they lasted! I’ve been considering getting the powder but was hesistant thinking I would have to replace frequently. I may have some shopping to do now!

[gonerogue]

@meghanneshea it’s definitely an investment! You should pick it up at the April VIB sale 😜

[caway]

@gonerogue My Laura Mercier powder is still going strong at one year!!!

[gonerogue]

@caway I believe  it! That thing lasts a long time! Definitely a great investment 😉

[b3autygrl]

Thanks @gonerogue!  I'd love to hear what you thought about the Peach Foundation and what your skin type is?

[gonerogue]

@b3autygrl I preach about this foundation all the time! It really is transfer resistant and keeps me matte all day. I wear it to work 5x a week and get compliments everyday of how natural and smooth my skin looks with it. Highly recommend it!

[b3autygrl]

Thanks for sharing your review @gonerogue!  I'm excited to get a sample and try it out.  I have somewhat finicky skin when it comes to foundations/primers (some tend to clog my pores and/or completely break me out), so hopefully it works out for me as well!

[gonerogue]

@b3autygrl I hope it works out for your skin! It would be nice to see someone else love it as much as I do lol

[curlychiquita]

Thanks for your feedback,  @gonerogue!

More stuff. Trying to not retain my trash as long before I show it to people 😂

My husband liked the Ole eye lift; I didn't. I actually really like the YTTP superfood cream, but it's a runner-up so I'll only be purchasing it if my other moisturizer doesn't end up working out.

[blackkitty2014]

My empties end of March 2018 🤪I don’t hate anything but I won’t repurchase anything at the moment. I need to finish all my backups and deluxe samples

[njattana]

@blackkitty2014 this is amazing!

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @njattana!
