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.

@suzyo Awesome job with empties!! That TCFS Coconut Ceramide mask is one of my most favorites!!! 👌🤗

What is the little rectangle bottle at the top left of your loves, @suzyo? 

[suzyo]

@eshoe It's a mini of Burberry Brit Sheer 🙂

Hi @sonnydee,

Love your empties! The DR. JART+ - Sheet Masks in Pore Minimalist is one of my favorites for when my skin is little more congested. Those pig nose strips are so cute!

Warmest regards,

Helen

Lots of loves this week.

The When 10PM is my absolute favorite sheet mask. The belif was in the Beauty Offers not long ago, and it was my first bubbling/foaming cleanser. I now own 3, all of which I love, but this one is my favorite. The bubbling feels like little sparkles and it leaves my dry skin so soft. 

Okay

Spoiler

I like the Simply When, just didn't stand out. The A. by Bom's Step 2 was fantastic, but Step 1 (the eye serum) stung and Step 3 was mediocre. The YTTP would be a love, it was really good, I just prefer the slightly thicker consistency of DE's La La.

Nope

Spoiler

The fresh Lotus Preserve was ok, nothing spectacular in my mind but not terrible - just something I wouldn't buy as it didn't do anything for me. Sadly, the hydrogel Hydra Rose sheet mask did not smell like roses and kept slipping off my face - I had such high hopes for that one! 

[sonnydee]

@eshoe Is that a we bear bears face mask? awe! that's so cute!

[eshoe]

Yes, @sonnydee, someone on the Masking Challenge thread used it and raved about it, can’t remember who and I wish I could to give credit where credit is due! Anyhow, when I received it, I was a little skeptical as the Cartoon Network is listed on the back🤔 but it was SO good! I know by now never to judge a mask by its packaging, yet old habits die hard, don’t they😂

August Empties

Spoiler

briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair Mask - this was decently nourishing; I would purchase once I use up my full size hair masks

tataharper Purifying Mask - an old fave, I like taking samples on trips

CT Legendary Lashes - my fave mascara; have not yet tried V2

UD All Nighter - an awesome setting spray

Mahalo Winter Grace - a very nice serum for dehydrated skin; my only complaint is the scent is much stronger in this version than it used to be

olaplex 3 - damaged hair magic

alpha h Vitamin A - a gentle retinol that doesn’t irritate my skin

DDG Ferulic Acid Retinol pads - I love how much brighter and more even my skin looks after using these

masquebar Green Tea sheet mask - hydrating, fits well, nice scent

Spoiler

Rahua Hydrating S&C - these were fine but I just don’t find their products hydrating enough for my hair

Hourglass Vanish Flash sample - did not enjoy the colours or texture

Sephora collection Green Tea, Charcoal mud masks - decent but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy them

farmacy Clean Bee - received as gratis; an ok cleanser but the pump leaks and the scent is strong

Tata Harper Resurfacing Serum - also received as gratis; feels nice on the skin but after 3 months of use I see no difference at all. Probably better suited to skincare newbs

firstaidbeauty Facial Radiance Intensive Peel - good results but the tingle burn is too strong and I dislike how difficult it is to remove

odacite Aventurine Lip Serum - did not like how it made my lips tingle and it I didn’t seem to improve their texture at all. In fact I feel that use of it required frequent reapplication 

Good Day Hair Shop Unicorn Soft Conditioner - tinted colour conditioner from my salon that is ok but I find Overtone more vibrant than this

glamglow Instamud - I like bubbling masks/treatments but I didn’t find this did much of anything 

PTR Cucumber Detox mask - the OG soothing mask

NARS Monoi II Body Oil - Oil is nice but the tiare scent is way too strong

christophe robin Hair mask - did not make enough of an impression on me to want to purchase it

tonymoly Assorted sheer masks x8 - almost through my TM stash; I really don’t love any of these and I find TM masks poorer fitting and more messy than most

thefaceshop Lemon sheet mask - wasn’t well saturated 

skinlaundry Hydrating sheet mask - decently hydrating but I hate how it smells like soap

toocoolforschool Egg Cream sheet mask - not a huge fan of these; they feel too heavy for my skin

Spoiler

Jane Scrivner Skin Bioluronic Buzz 2000 - I hated everything about this. Pump dispensed too much, product balled up on skin, never fully absorbed and wasn’t very hydrating

[eshoe]

Is that Mahalo bottle bamboo? I would totally reuse that one if I were you, @Mochapj😊

[Mochapj]

@eshoe it is, sort of. It’s a glass bottle in a bamboo sleeve but it’s a bit difficult to clean and the pump is a little too vigorous lol

[eshoe]

Ah, bummer, @Mochapj😕

[playingdressup]

Love your emojis and your reviews on everything @Mochapj! I have a few samples of the DDG pads that I am excited to try out. Completely with you on the Olaplex, it's so good.

[Mochapj]

@playingdressup The pads are really nice. I hope you like them!

[SchylarR]

Hello everyone!!! So... because I live in New York, I don't really have enough room to physically keep my empties. I thought, since I'm a graphic design major, I'd take the digital route instead! 🙂 Ta-da! I hope you guys like my August empties spreads!

(Ignore the horrible cropping... ya girl doesn't have time to make .pngs without backgrounds 😂)

[CC3616]

I like your digital version @SchylarR!! 

[SchylarR]

Thank ya thank ya! 🙂 @CC3616

[GG84]

@SchylarR

I also really like 'Flops' 😉 You didnt have many Flops in August, so was a good month! 

[SchylarR]

Awh thanks! Woop woop! 🙂 @GG84

[eshoe]

💗💗💗the graphics, and the ‘flop’ term, @SchylarR!! I feel like I’m looking at pg 81 of the September issue on beauty😉

[SchylarR]

Awwwwwh that's so freakin' sweet of you to say!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! 😁😁😁 @eshoe
