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.

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.

Nice empties! @starsandbucks

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)

You finished a lot of great items, @karap03!

It’s really hard for me to keep empties for very long. so here’s a little bundle of things I tried recently.

I actually enjoyed using just about everything- the only iffy one was the PTR Potent-C. I’m not sure how I feel about this- I don’t feel there was enough product to try and really test out.

I liked the end result with the eye packs- just didn’t like how both kinds had a hard time staying put.

April results!

Loves. My new favorite mascara - Hourglass (sorry, BB Smokey Eye).Likes. Everything was very good, but I`m not sure, if I wanna repurchase.Kinda nothing special.No (smell of alcohol is way too strong)

Nice work, @Sansara!

My travel empties:

[TheMonsterBunny]

I feel like travel empties are so much more satisfying!! Like not only have they been places but they have been places with me being in places....place-ception? Lol. You know it’s good when you travel with it.

Some recent empties!

I really love the origins body butter, fresh soy cleanser, fresh sugar in petal, and CG lash blast mascara.  All are staples for me.

I like, but have since found better replacements for the Dr. Jart BB and Caudalie Vinosource serum. I liked the Pep Rally, and will consider getting a full size to try it longer.

The Origins checks and balances cleanser (the DS) is no-go for me.  Not pictured is a DS of drybar triple sec, which I didn't really see the point of.  I wasn't sure how it differed from dry shampoo, and I didn't love the fragrance.
