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.

Hi @jen81,

Sooo many empties! Great job :O. I love the DRUNK ELEPHANT - Lala Retro™ Whipped Cream and Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 1.7 fl. oz/ 50 mL they are my must haves when I feel that I'm running low. The Cicapair does such an amazing job at covering my redness and evening my skin-tone!

Warmest regards,

Helen

Luckily I have deluxe samples of both these in my stash @HelenBT !

Sheet mask and face mask empties from August! The only one that was truly not that amazing were the Wander Beauty eye masks. I had such high hopes! The I’m Sorry for My Skin and the Meg. Two Step Jelly Mask are game changers! As well as the Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask and the Origins Drink Up Intensive overnight Mask. They are definitely Holy Grail items! Others are all just dang good daily masks!

[JenniferOhJenny]

@KrishAtl I have those Dermal masks sitting in my Amazon cart...glad to hear you liked them!

[KrishAtl]

Dermal masks are the absolute best “everyday “ mask @JenniferOhJenny!!  I buy a pack of the 32 masks on Amazon every other month or so!!  I love them!  You can’t beat the price and they actually do very well for my skin!

[HelenBT]

Hi @KrishAtl,

Wow, amazing empties! I am a mask junkie myself, always buying new ones,but never using them as frequently as I should be. I love the ORIGINS - Clear Improvement® Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores and ORIGINS - Drink Up™ Intensive Overnight Mask to Quench Skin's Thirst those are amazing for targeting skin needs. I love how many sheet masks empty packets you have. I also have the I'm Sorry For My Skin Sheet Mask, I will need to put that to use! I definitely need to use my sheet masks more. haha.

Warmest regards,

Helen

@HelenBT don’t forget the all-important Beauty mantra “a sheet mask a day keeps the Botox away”!!!

Empties from the last two weeks of August

Loves

Spoiler

Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Firming Serum : Makes my skin so glowy the next day and absorbs quickly.
Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks : Brighten the undereyes and leaves the skin smooth.
Dove Dry Spray : Lovely feminin floral smell and doesn't leave white marks on clothing. It's also long lasting.
Two Faced Shadow Insurance : First time trying this primer and was impressed. My lids were smoothed out and shadows lasted all day.
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation : Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!! It's on my wishlist.
Drybay Prep Rally : Detangles my hair and doesn't make them sticky afterwards.
Two Faced Better Than Sex Mascara : Gives nice volume to my lashes.

Likes/Okay

Spoiler

Sunday Riley C.E.O. : Like it! Makes my skin luminous, but not greasy.
Beauty blender solid cleanser : It's okay and i know they improved the formula, but i still prefer the sephora collection solid brush cleanser.
Goldfaden MD Facial Detox Pore Clarifying mask : The smell is super strong, like a medicinal cream. Despite the smell it worked great, not the biggest improvement on my skin, but still nice. I would like to try other products from this brand.

Nope, not for me

Spoiler

La Neige Bank Moisture Cream : Felt too heavy for my combo skin and clogged my pores. It gave me a good hydration, but i guess it works better for dry/mature skin.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation : Didn't like the coverage i am more of a full coverage kind of girl. My skin isn't that good at the moment so i wasn't a fan.
Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pad : Smell was awful and made me look a bit orangey. It did last for a couple of days and lasted even tho i deep cleansed and exfoliated my face.
Volition Helix AM/PM eye gel : Felt like i was applying Smashbox photo finish primer under my eyes, it was very silliconey. Didn't improve the creases under my eyes.
Global Beauty Care Charcoal mask : I've tried better.
Sephora Lotus sheet mask : Smell was delightful and relaxing, but the eyes and mouth holes were really small and i felt greasy for almost 2 hours after doing the mask like my skin didn't want to absorb it. Sad it didn't work for me!

@ellem24  The Dove spray really is something, it literally leaves no white marks at all.  Finally someone figured it out. 🙂

[ellem24]

@darkiceis yes!!! absolutely love it 🙌🏼

Wow you are a masking fiend, @MoniDJ lol! Glad to hear you liked that Pomegranate one, I am waiting on one in the mail and don't know what to expect, so thank you for the heads up:)

[Shosh85]

@MoniDJ Wow! Great job, that's a lot of stuff you used up!! So happy you liked The Creme Shop masks – I have 5 packs of both the Pineapple and Peaches & Cream ones that I still haven't tried yet – even more excited to try them now!! 🙌🤗

[Shelbstirr]

I had some strong opinions this month -

LOVES: IGK First Class Charcoal Detox Dry Shampoo 6.3 oz/ 288 mL and NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer Vanilla (I bought both of these in the VIB sale), Benefit Cosmetics BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara Intense Pitch Black – 0.30 oz/ 8.5 g and Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Extra Strength Daily Peel Pads 30 Treatments + 5 Bonus

UNDECIDED: I need to try out a few more of my samples of the primer Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer 0.7 oz/ 20 g.  I liked the moisturizer but maybe it wasn't quite hydrating enough BOSCIA - Cactus Water Moisturizer

VERY MUCH DID NOT LIKE: these did nothing FIRST AID BEAUTY - Facial Radiance Pads. I could not get the liquid eyeliner to draw a smooth line, kept skipping KVD Beauty Tattoo Liner Vegan Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Trooper

[Shosh85]

@Shelbstirr Nice job!! I looove those DDG peels as well – it has become a staple for me!  👍

[Shelbstirr]

@Shosh85 I'll be sad when my supply of freebies runs out

[darkiceis]

Loves (not sure what happened the rest of the pomegranate wipes, I had several more empty packs. I guess someone here threw them out 🙂 )

No thank you

[Shosh85]

Just a handful of trash to share with you guys 😉

 The Creme Shop towelettes I'd say we're pretty average – it had a nice light rose scent and it took off regular makeup ok, just not waterproof makeup like it says.

The Fresh Cleanser has great results, I just didn't love the smell.

[Beth530]

My August empties, not as many products as I would have like to use up, but I decluttered way more than I finished.LovesLikesHates or just didn’t work out for me

[melissabt]

@Beth530,

❤️ the Bumble and Bumble Shampoo and Conditioner! It is one of my favorites, especially now that my hair is bleached.

[Beth530]

@melissabt

You should try the ouai treatment mask.  It has done wonders for my hair since I’ve had highlights put in.
