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.

January empties! Will re/purchase all the loves... the Volition silt gelée mask (in the tiny pots) was especially great! I actually adore that MJ mascara but I'm divesting from the brand. The Laneige mask made me break out, alas.

@fieldsofclover You dont like the Laneige water sleeping mask? 😲

[GG84]

I never use foil samples, I honestly need to not add them to my cart unless its something I actually already use. They just take up space in my already overly crowded house of beauty products.

[fieldsofclover]

@GG84 I know, right?? These ones I got from the skincare SA in the big Sephora here... we talk so much I'm going to end up like @darlyndar and getting lunch with her or something 😂😂😂

[darlyndar]

@fieldsofclover 😂🤣🤣😂 I swear! Our conversations over text are fascinating. I’ve learned so much! Like: John Kuckian is a dummy, Amore Pacific owns every single K Beauty brand in existence and Lindsay Lohan is coming out with her own makeup line. I was obsessed with her at the peak of her hot mess! I’m supporting cause I want her to make a comeback! Lol!!’

Lmao @fieldsofclover I do the hair of my favorite skincare cast member. I love him dearly ❤ One day I was talking to him and my eyes kept wandering over to his hair...and he was like "okay IT'S THE BRASS ISN'T IT" and I died laughing 😂😂 We've been friends since.

I love this story!! @GG84

[fieldsofclover]

@gg84  I was fully prepared to love it! I think my routine is too active for sleeping masks in general right now... they must end up sealing in gunk overnight because I had been trying different brands once a week and they all make me break out a little. I'm normal-dry but I have really active sebaceous glands.

I have another sample... I'll probably try it again in the summer because I don't learn haha. I got three uses out of that one foil though!

[Seymore3]

@fieldsofcloverI have the same sample pot of the Volition silt gelée mask but I haven't tried it yet.I am glad to hear you liked it,maybe I will use it tonight.

[fieldsofclover]

@Seymore3 It was so good! I'll buy a full size when I get through more of my mask stash... it will be going into heavy rotation after I use up other things.

Now I keep looking at the Lancer DSs and other YOURGIFT things thinking "you could have been Volition minis!" 😂

[scott1201]

I feel the same about that PTR shampoo and conditioner. When I travel for work we stay at Hilton’s and that’s always the option - ugh @fieldsofclover

[fieldsofclover]

@scott1201 Bingo! haha yeah I think it's a smart business move on their part, but it just did not do anything for me (my hair is hard to please, though).

[sister13]

Great empties! @fieldsofclover

[sister13]

These have been collecting for a while, not sure of the actual time frame of use, though. 

These are all LOVES, which I have already, will, or would consider repurchasing.

Been trying to get through some FS and DS mascaras and random other things, like eye cream and my One Direction Shower gel, lol. Quite liked the Roller Lash and the Smoky Lash mascaras but not quite loves. I’ve decided that if I don’t really a mascara, it’s going into the empty bag because I have too many to get through and see no reason to suffer with any that are less than loves!

Samples and foils, or old stuff. Haha, some are even the old various (used to be more generous) sample cups from Sephora! Nothing here I couldn’t live without. The Guerlain samples were stingy, so can’t tell about those.

[fieldsofclover]

@sister13 Nice work! I'm going to follow your example with the mascaras... I'm auditioning new ones and life is too short to try to use up samples of those if they're not working.

[sister13]

Exactly! It is one of the best decisions I ever made. Some are just meh, but some are actually awful. Like, if it’s flaming under my eyes within an hour, it’s GONE! @fieldsofclover

Edit: lol, I meant “flaking” but they will also get tossed if they started flaming!

[fieldsofclover]

@sister13 Both are valid reasons 😂😂😂

The dark version of that Moroccanoil dry shampoo is my HG... I've repurchased it so many times 🧡💙

[Fernleaf]

Nice job getting through all of these, @sister13!  I enjoy seeing how good people are at emptying, and you did a great job!! 

[sister13]

I used to be terrible at finishing things, like I always wanted to still have everything! This thread actually helps quite a bit and I like to get through stuff now. It’s Not like I can’t buy more of what I end up loving! @Fernleaf

[fieldsofclover]

@sister13 Oh dear that's exactly why I'm here... I'm determined to learn to love panning/empties in 2018! Posting photos feels like getting credit for all the work 😂

[sonnydee]

@sister13 great minds think alike..Im doing the same thing with the mascara samples. 

Spoiler

And I'm in search of my HG foundation so I'm destashing the extra samples of the ones that don't cut it.
