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.

That pic on the CosRX pads is priceless, @Aaliaa😂

This is impressive, @MoniDJ!  I'm glad you liked so many of your sheet masks!

[eshoe]

Those are your September empties, @MoniDJ😳? The Crème Shop Neroili sounds like it might be nice, haven’t seen that one yet. Also the Biossance cleansing oil-might need to try that one. Thanks for sharing, I’m a little in awe of your consumption powers 😆

[MoniDJ]

@eshoe I really made an effort to finish up what I could because we were moving at the end of the month. I really didn't want to take a lot of products that were almost gone.

[eshoe]

Weekly empties.

Loves/repurchases

Spoiler

This was my first time trying the Bum Bum Cream and it’s an easy ❤️. The Laura Geller Lash Boss lasted a good year, just opened my backup yesterday. I included the Shiseido dermaplaning tool on the bottom right, as this is the first place I saw one of those and it piqued my curiousity. So glad I looked into it! By decreasing my weekly exfoliation down to once a week and using this little razor, my makeup application has improved dramatically. I had started to get some dry patchy areas on my cheeks and it made my blush appear to split in two distinct parts. It goes on evenly now and looks SO much better.

Good!

Spoiler

The Oerbeau is a previous love; this time I woke up with tiny blemishes all over my face🤨. I have another one so I will try it out again as it coincided with my dermaplaning, so that may be the culprit not sure yet.

The Hello Kitty mask was good but the scent was a little strong for me. Totally adorable though! The Tatcha was fine, a little difficult and slow to absorb, I much prefer DE C-Tango or the Biossance Peptide Eye Gel.

Nope

Spoiler

The YesTo Masks have aluminum and denatured alcohol. The 23 years old mask I am reluctantly using because I spent the money but the mask itself is terrifying as it has only eye holes and a small slit for the nose, the mouth is completely covered. In addition, the chin is extraordinarily long and refuses to adhere to my face. I lock the bathroom door for this one. The Ordinary is maybe a year old; my skin changed after using this and it wasn’t for the better. That was months ago and I am finally tossing it as I don’t use it.

[sonnydee]

@eshoe sounds like the 23yrold mask will be perfect for Halloween. you may make lil children cry though. 😉

[sonnydee]

yessss @sparklekai delectable is great. the lemon body wash is my favorite. I've tried them all. 😍 they make good hand lotions too.

[sparklekai]

@sonnydee i'm hard time finding the large bottles of the body lotion! but delectable is on my hunt list

[sonnydee]

Ulta! @sparklekai online only though. I just checked they have 4 scents. 3.4oz, I don't know how big you wanted them but that's the size they have there. I get my body wash from there. They've had it on special before too. 

[sparklekai]

I'm in Canada @sonnydee and while i can technically get stuff from ulta now - the duties always kill any desire i have to do so!  which is also frustrating since i believe this is a canadian brand!

[Aaliaa]

Hey @sparklekai Shoppers stocks Delectable, I'm not sure if they have the specific product, but I know they sell their hand creams and lotions.

[keana1]

I agree with you about Ulta , I also live in Canada. When I consider shipping fees, the exchange rate and Customs, it’s quite useless to order anything from Ulta ☹️ @sparklekai !

[eshoe]

Sorry you had the worst spritzer ever, @sparklekai😂 although Jurlique’s Balancing Rosewater might give it some competition!

[sparklekai]

it seems insane to me that it is 2018 & they can't figure out spritzers! that & the fact that we don't have teleporters!

[ellem24]

September empties! Love this thread, really pushes me to use my product instead of buying more. I hope next month will be even better 🙂 
Loves

Spoiler

Sephora Dry Clean Instant Dry Cleaner Spray : Sooo nice for a quick cleanse of your brushes. Doesn't break me out and take off a nice amount of build-up product on the brushes.
Omorozvica Queen of Hungary Beauty Mist : I love a good mist, i spray it when my makeup feels powdery or after washing my face (this is not a setting spray tho). It's incredibly hydrating, smells good but not too strong. Very luxurious.
Fresh Soy Face Cleanser : In my top 5 cleansers for sure. I know a lot of people hate the smell, but somehow i got used to it and i kinda like it. It's perfect for sensitive skin, it's cooling and makes my skin feel extra clean.
Tatcha The Silk Canvas Primer : I fell hard for this primer. I didn't expect it to be so good i thought it was just hype. I'm buying this at the next sephora sale. I got about 3 uses out of this little sampler and really made my skin/foundation look like smooth silk.
Ole Henriksen C-Rush Brightening Gel Cream : Smells like the Truth Serum ❤️ Feels hydrating but is lightweight so it doesn't clog my pores. Perfect for my combination skin.
Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser : Really good. Helps dissolves makeup and deep cleanse like you wouldn't expect from a foaming cleanser.
Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Bath Bomba (you can see in the photo my struggle to undo the packaging 😅) : I'm not the biggest bath person, i am more of a shower gal, but i really appreciated this bath bomb. I understand if you buy a lot of these this one is pricy. What i liked the most was the salt inside that made my skin feel suuuper soft and not dry at all. Smell is amazing as always, like any other SDJ product.
Briogeo Blossom and Bloom Volumizing Shampoo & Conditionner : First time trying this and my hair LOVED it. Really added volume at my roots and amplified my curls.
Glamglow Bubblesheet Oxygenating Deep Cleanse Mask (from my FFF subscription) : Wasn't my first time trying these, but i love 'em. They are pricy for what they do, but when you use high coverage makeup or are really oily they help to deep cleanse and remove impurities.

Likes and okay

Spoiler

Tarte Rainforest Of The Sea Water Foundation in Light Neutral : This was okay, but i don't know if i would buy a full size. The color was on point with my fake tan and it was full coverage. Would need to try again to get a better opinion.
Kat Von D Lock-it Setting Spray : Again, it's nice, but would need to try a bigger size to know for sure if i like it.
Too Faced Hangover Primer : I like it because it's hydrating and it smells like coconut, but i don't know if it prolonged the wear of my makeup that much ?.. You don't need a lot of product tho.
Kate Sommerville Wrinkle Warrior 2-in-1 Plumping Moisturizer and Serum : Like it. Really felt like it plumped my skin, it's lightweight and makes your skin smooth.
Glow Recipe Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser x2 : Dissolves your makeup at night, makes your skin feel clean and you don't need a lot of it. The only thing i don't like about it is that it feels soapy and bubbly like you would put a liquid hand soap on your face (if that makes sense 😅).
Biobelle Beauty Secret Pomegranate & Hyaluronic Acid : Would buy again. I liked the smell and did moisturized my skin.
Purlisse Green Tea-Ginger Rejuvenating Sheet Mask : It was okay. My skin felt detoxed afterwards and although there was a lot of serum in it, it absorbed nicely.
Too Faced Lip Injection : This is actually a declutter, i realized i had it for a long time. It's just okay, really tingles but plumps your lips for a reasonably short amount of time. You need to be careful not to overline your lips or you'll look irritated. Once my boyfriend thought i had an allergic reaction lol.

Nope, not for me

Spoiler

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in Peach Kiss : The balm itself is okay i just really hated the color. You need to reapply often.
Kirkland Daily Facial Towelettes : They do a great job, but i'm gonna stop using them because of the massive quantity of alcohol in them. One more pack to go and i can move on.
Verb Ghost Shampoo and Conditionner : Wasn't as "weightless" as i thought it would be. I don't wash my hair a lot (about 2 times a week) and my hair looked dirty at the end of the very next day.

[eshoe]

@ellem24 I agree with you on the Tatcha! Just a note, if you do pick up the FS, use much less than recommended. I went by the instructions and it pilled under my foundation. It comes with a little disk that has a line on it; I use about only 1/4 up to the line and that’s more than enough😉

[eshoe]

Weekly empties, mostly masks. Mostly loves, a couple likes and a hmmm

Ok, but wouldn’t repurchase. This is my third Wonjin mask and none have been outstanding. I tried:) I think the Sephora mask was old stock and it irritates my skin unfortunately.

[Nemo1993]

September empties: LOVES: Caudalie beauty elixir, Laneige sleeping mask, Farmacy honey potion mask, Drunk elephant C-Firma Day serum and SKII moisturizer. OK: Fresh soy cleanser and Aveeno makeup wipes. HATES: Caudalie moisturizing sorbet( smells really bad and does absolutely nothing to my skin) and briogeo deep conditiong mask ( I tried it several times and it ALWAYS leaves my hair tangled )

[Mochapj]

September empties

Spoiler

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel - one of my HG cleansers; it has a lovely scent, a lush texture and washes away beautifully. I only wish it was easier to purchase in Canada

Berrisom Blackberry Mask - a cute mask that was very hydrating and fit well

DDG Alpha Beta Ultra Gentle x2 - the only variation of the DDG A/B peels that I really like because it doesn't sting

The Little Alchemist Ultra C serum - a comfortable serum, absorbed well, good ingredients. 

Clarisonic Pedi disc - regular repurchase for keeping my heels in shape

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% - regular repurchase; can't go wrong at that price 

DDG Ferulic Acid & Retinol - love these pads; they make my skin glow the day after I've used them

Spoiler

TCFS Egg Mask - I don't like the slimy texture of this mask so I probably would never repurchase it

Skin Laundry Hydrating Mask - is ok at hydrating, but I hate the soapy scent

PTR Rose Gel Mask - I don't like how sticky and gloppy this mask is

Tony Moly Mask x 6 - these are fine; this was the last of a giant 20+ pack I bought from Korea and none of them stood out and I didn't like how they fit

Lancome Bifacil - stings my eyes when I use it to remove makeup

Masque Bar Anti Blemish Mud - terrible delivery system for a mud; nothing will come out of the package

Face Shop Olive Mask - fine, would not repurchase, decently moisturizing, slimy texture

Sephora Rose Mask - ok, fits well, not as moisturizing as others I've tried

Herbivore Jasmine Green Tea Mist - this was ok but I don't like it as much as ML Jasmine Garden and I didn't find this very refreshing

The Ordinary Resveratrol & Ferulic Acid - the texture of this was very greasy and I never felt like it absorbed. Also did not notice any difference with use.

DDG Alpha Beta Extra Strength - ok but stings a little too much for me

Armani Luminous Silk - I think I liked it but I didn't wear it long enough to tell; I was mostly checking the shade match

Spoiler

TH Nourishing Oil Cleanser - the cleanser is not bad but the pump is terrible! It doesn't depress properly so you're trying and trying to get something out and then finally it does pump and shoots the product across the room :S 

Jane Scrivner Frankincense Toning Mist - I hated this so much! The scent is like wet cardboard and the mister is like having someone sneeze on your face. PAAAASSSSSS.
