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.

@KrishAtl I haven’t tried the Dermal sheet masks! - where do you buy them?🤔

I am so interested in that Rose oil! Glad to hear you like it!! 👌

[KrishAtl]

@Shosh85 Dermal Korea sheet masks are my favorite!!  I get them on Amazon.  Search Dermal Korea and you will get all kinds of package options for them.  Currently Amazon is selling mixed packs of 16 Dermal masks for $10.99 or even 39 masks for like $24!!  I love all their masks and always keep them in my cupboard!  The Korres Rose oil has been a staple in my cupboard for almost 2 years.  I love this oil and use it daily!

[Shosh85]

@KrishAtl Nice!! Thank you so much! 👌

A few empties for the month.  Fresh, Algenist and renewed hope tint are staples and I've already bought backup.  I'll pass on the premiere cru again.  It felt less effective at healing and preventing acne scars and marks than the Caudalie Vinoperfect serum, and costs twice as much.

[KrishAtl]

@RachFace2921 Have you tried Murad Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum for your acne scarring??  It has worked wonders for me!  It even faded a scar I had on my forehead for 6 years!!  

[RachFace2921]

Hmmm.... I've not tried this, but I'm very impressed by these quals @KrishAtl.  I'll have to check this out. 

I don't have significant scarring, but I definitely noticed my monthly pimple leaving visible evidence much more when I switched from the Vinoperfect.

@RachFace2921 I wish I liked the Fresh cleanser but I can't get past the smell!  It just smells like grass to me 😞

[curlychiquita]

@CookieGirl1, I don't like the smell, either!

[RachFace2921]

Lol, it is a little earthy.  It doesn't linger after, so it's ok for me @CookieGirl1.

Honestly, the only reason I'm so obsessed with it is because I suffered for years from watery eyes, and it finally stopped when I switched my old face cleanser to the fresh, which is soap free and way less drying.  I've never looked back since... 

[Shosh85]

Great job, @RachFace2921! I really enjoyed the Algenist Genius as well! 👍

The liquid collagen is fantastic.  I have a handful of foils and a DS of it and it's just wonderful.

[RachFace2921]

The Algenist is def one of my bigger skincare splurges @itsfi @Shosh85... when the brand sponsored the 7 day Challenge GWP, I stocked up like a squirrel hoarding acorns for winter.  I can't even remember how many orders I placed that week.  I made it almost a month on foils.

[itsfi]

Good idea to stock up on the Algenist collagen gwp, @RachFace2921!  It's definitely a splurge.  I'm already setting it up in my mind to justify a FS purchase after I go through my samples - it works, it's a good investment in my skin ("you're not getting any younger or younger looking, fi!! LOL!), and I'm supporting a local business! 

@Shosh85, if you see this at your TJ Maxx, snag 'em up.  Go, go, go!!!!

[RachFace2921]

That's how I see it @itsfi... if I feel it's giving me nice skin, and I know I'll use it, then I'm OK with the cost.   I usually don't gamble on stuff that expensive, for sure...

If you use it just in AM or PM it also stretches further!  I get abt 6-7 weeks per bottle with 1x daily use, and I'm a little heavy handed with it. 

[Shosh85]

@RachFace2921 TJ Maxx seems to carry Algenist products quite often and I try to stock up when I see it! Just recently found the Algenist Sublime Optical Illuminating Moisturizer, and I just love it! 👌

I didn't finish up too much this month. The Too Cool For School, Burt's Bees, and Josie Maran are staples. I didn't like the Laneige lip mask or the Bite gloss. The lip mask did nothing for me, I just don't understand the hype. The Bite gloss faded so quickly, without eating or drinking. It would be gone within an hour.

[KrishAtl]

I love the Burt’s Bees Honey Lip Balm @suzyo.  Haven’t tried the Pomegranate but I get severely chapped lips every time I travel out of Florida.  My skin is just used to extreme humidity and no heaters!  Running heaters up north are a nightmare for my skin!!  The Burt’s Bees is the only thing that helps my lips when they are severely chapped, so now I use it daily anyway and my lips are so supple and happy!  

[Shosh85]

Nice job, @suzyo! The Argan Oil and Burt’s Bees are my staples as well! Vanilla Bean Burt’s Bees is my most favorite 😉

Im with you on the mask- it really wasn’t anything to write home about 🤨

[sonnydee]

totally agree about the laneige 🙋couldn't get rid of it fast enough. @suzyo

[fieldsofclover]

Wow, I'm having a banner month for empties... here's my last round for May.

Sleeper hit, mascara edition: the Givenchy mascara with the weird 90° wand was perfect for me! Going to need a full size of it for sure. I liked the Hourglass highlighter; ready to dig out my DS and give it a longer try. The Costco wipes have alcohol in them, and my skin is just rejecting anything like that nowadays.

[newcarlee]

I too got and tried a sample of the Givenchy mascara and loved it!  I want to buy it but still have a couple mascaras to go through first.  But once I finish my stock - I'm going to splurge for it.
