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.
My first time keeping track of empties! I'm excited to be able to look back and see what I have used in the past. No makeup this time, but I should have some good products to show for next time. Here are my empties for August 2017:
Loved it (will repurchase):
I tried to write an empties post at the end of July, but I don't think it ever went through. So these are my empties for both July and August!
Full Sizes

I really want to try that coconut mask! I love their body scrub and body oil! @suzyo
@heartsmyface I'm working my way through a tube of that scrub right now! I like it but I don't think I love it. I wanna try that oil body wash. I think I might buy it during the November sale.
Hmmm, maybe dont use it all up before you get the chance to use them together. I like the combined effect.
There are much better scrubs out there. If you're looking for something super awesome (like a full body peel) try the Dermadoctor KP duty body Scrub! You're only supposed to use it once a week but it is my all time favorite! It's a combo chemical and physical exfoliator! You dry scrub it on and rinse it off right away @suzyo.
It's on my Holy Expletive this Expletive is amazing list!
My August empties. There are not as many foils this month but more deluxe samples and full size.
Loves:
Bioderma micellar water- a staple in my cleansing routine
Biologique Recherche elestane marine- has significantly reduced my fine lines.
Tom Ford lip balms in L'Oddissea and Fathom-super moisturizing with a hint of colour. As you can see I loved them so much that I scraped out everything😅
Hourglass Ambient lighting powder travel size in Mood light- I wanted to try out a differrent colour as my usual standby is Diffused light
The Chemistry hand cream- moisturizes and is fast absorbing without being greasy.
Likes:
Amore Pacific cream cleanser- a good cleanser that left my skin clean without being overly dry
Caudalie Reservatrol cream- a light day time moisturizer that is fast absorbing
Avene eye cream- a light weight moisturizer but I didn't see any improvements with wrinkle reduction
Not for me:
Dr Brandt microdermabrasion- it felt too rough on my skin and left it dry and itchy
Nude brightening fizzy powder- very granular and left my skin super dry. I guess physical exfoliants are not for me😂

Loves:
Bioderma micellar water- a staple in my cleansing routine
Biologique Recherche elastine marine- super effective in decreasing fine lines and keeping my skin happy
Tom Ford Lip balms in L'Oddisea and Fathom- super moisturizing with a hint of colour. Loved it so much I scraped out every little bit😅
Hourglass Ambient lighting powder travel size in Mood light. Wanted to try a new colour as my usual standby is Diffused light.
The Chemistry hand cream- moisturizing yet fast absorbing without being greasy.
Likes:
Amore Pacific cleansing foam- good basic cleanser that doesn't leave my skin dry and tight.
Avene eye cream- kept my eye area moisturized but I didn't see any significant improvement on wrinkle reduction
Caudalie Resveratrol soft cream- light and fast absorbing, a good daytime cream
Not for me:
Dr Brandt microdermabrasion- it was too harsh on my skin and left it red and itchy
Nude brightening fizzy powder- it felt really rough and granular on my skin and left dry patches. I guess physical exfolliants are not for me😂

August Empties! I finished a decent number of products this month and seeing them all displayed, I felt so proud of myself. 🙂

Lots of empties this month. I'm so proud of myself:)
The bad: Claudalie and Fresh lip balm. Cladalie should change the package for that one. The product is not bad but the spray is horrible. Same thing with Fresh. I don't want the lip balm to stuck under my nails and the smear it over my lips. Nope!
The Ugly: I hate that Tom Ford primer with passion lol. Tatcha mask and Fresh mask are just messy.
The Good: everything else is either love or like. Need to mention: I finished the Fresh soft cream and fill it up with 2 card samples I got and then finished it again. 😉
Not in the picture: I finished around 25-30 shampoo-conditioner foiled sets. Yoo-hoo!
Sorry @BeautybyJules I didn’t see your post until now. I like that GlamGlow brightening mask but I think their best product is super mud mask (the white bottle). I just finished a giant tube (will post pictures of my empty soon). Tatcha is hits and misses for me. I like the water cream but dislike the mask (the purple bottle). I’m doing good with skincares but not soo good in makeup department 😂 I hoard so much that I doubt I would finish anything
It's totally fine! Since following these posts I've been trying to start my own empties pile. I've been storing them in an empty play box until I feel like I have enough. So far ive tried the gravity mud and the super clearing mud from glam glow and now Im addicted to peeling masks. I haven't tried anything from tatcha yet because of the price. I'll have to keep my eye out for a good value set or small point reward to try the water cream at least
August Empties! Any questions about specific products, please feel free to ask.
TOP ROW: Allstars!
MIDDLE ROW: Try Hards!
BOTTOM ROW: Stinkers!
@Mochapj ooh, what are your thoughts on the DDG extra strength pads? And what didn't you like about the Tata Harper clarifying mask?
@Saschattack oh, I could write a novel about that Clarifying Mask, LOL 😄
The short version is that from the moment you open the jar it reeks like burnt rubber (and continues to stink the whole time you have it on your face) and after removing it, I didn't notice any appreciable difference.
As for the DDG pads, my skin doesn't tolerate any of them well if I use them with any sort of regularity (except the ultra gentle ones), so I can only get away with using them 1-2x a month. I think I'm in the minority though, as I believe quite a few people on BT that are fans use them consistently without issue.
Thanks for the input! I have a deluxe sample of that mask that I haven't used yet, so I'm very interested in if people like it or not.
