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.
I'm especially excited to see the cheaper brands using it, like TO and Inkey. Before I discovered PC, I was a mostly drugstore gal, and finding BHA there (outside of a cleanser) is dang near impossible.
I guess those brands aren't actually "drugstore" since they aren't sold at drugstores, but the price point makes them so much more accessible. I really need to pick up one or two cheapies just to test out for myself (but at the same time, I loooooove my PC lol).
@RGbrown, I just recently got my hands on TO’s salicylic acid. I think they may be reformulating? It was out for the longest time (and still is on the brand’s site) and then a few popped back up, but only for the shortest time, and now gone. Sephora Collection has a salicylic acid based serum that’s not bad; I think Paula’s Choice is better but the SC worked fine for me as a spot treatment. Versed has a SA spot treatment, but I’ve read mixed reviews.
I seem to recall someone else talking about TO being hard to find lately. Hopefully they are bringing it back at some point!
I remember the first time I tried it many many years ago, I was completely repulsed by the oily, ointment-like texture. For some silly reason, I had been expecting a cream; dunno where I got that idea 😛 But I quickly got over it, and love it. It's great!
The lastest batch o' trash! 🗑️
YTD 140
Leaders masks: perfectly lovely masks that hydrate well, fit decently, and are low on the scent scale.
Ulta shower tablets (berries and lavender): true love but sadly discontinued. Fantastic scent.
Paul Mitchell The Detangler: I didn't love this when I had longer hair (I didn't find it helped with detangling much at all), but after my haircut, I found it to be a really nice conditioner for me. It provides pretty decent slip without being too heavy for my fine hair. The consistency is really thin compared to what I'm used to, but it still seemed to give good moisture. Would use again.
Bumble Pret A Powder aerosol: still one of my favorite aerosol dry shampoos. Works well, nice scent, low white cast. Probably won't buy because I can get better deals on ones that are nearly as good, but it holds a place in my heart.
Voir Dry Shampoo (loose powder): mediocre at best, sadly. It's gritty, and it takes a lot to get results. Smells nice, and the bottle works well, but...doubt I'd use it again, even if I got it for free.
Tarte Sugar Rush Squeezy Clean Face Wash: the texture was a bit weird. It's a thin gel, fairly normal feeling, but it lathers up so thickly, it almost turns into a cream. Something about the feel of the lather was just off to me. It cleansed well, though perhaps was a bit on the drying side. And I was appalled by the size of the tube...that's a 7mL tube that they charge $10 for. Sure, I picked it up at 5/$25, and used an Ulta coupon, but I was still extremely disappointed in the size vs cost.
Vichy Liftactiv Peptide C moisturizer: a weird balm/ointment texture that is completely different from any other moisturizer I have ever tried before. I went into it really wanting to like it, but never could get on board with the balmy feeling it left on my skin. Alcohol is too far up on the list for me to ever condone it either, so I guess it's for the best that I leave this one behind.
Algenist Alive Prebiotic Balancing Mask: a gentle clay mask that never really dries down. It's fine, but I didn't see anything special about it. Drier types would probably like it more than I did...I prefer a more aggressive clay for my oily skin.
Burt's Bees lip balm (vanilla): love the vanilla in this one. Lip balm is a basic daily staple for me that I always have within reach, and I find BB to be a dependable one to keep around.
Tigi Rockaholic Dry Shampoo: perfectly lovely. Light citrus scent, does the job well, though I find it takes more of this one than some other aerosols. Low white residue. Would use again, but I wouldn't go out of my way buy it.
@RGbrown Oooh. Good to hear about the low-scent Leader's masks. Nothing worse than opening a pouch of a new thing and getting scent-assaulted! (Looking at your entire existence, Darphin!)
Darphin is way too high on the cha-ching scale for me to have ever tried, but I'm not really surprised that a crazy expensive French brand is highly scented. Good to know in case I ever decide to get spendy 😂
Leaders masks have a very light scent (at least the ones I've tried so far)...I class it as a generic "sheet mask fresh" scent that's very inoffensive. They are all around good masks!
April empties, part 1
❤️ LOVES ❤️ - These are all repurchase-worthy, but I might not repurchase right away for different reasons, primary of which is that I have several similar products that need some attention. 😉
😃 LIKES 😃 - these ranged from good to great. I'd happily use them again and would probably repurchase a few.
THE REST - these ranged from 'okay' to 'meh'. Most I'd use again if I had them, but they just were not favorites.

Yay! Glad you loved the dewytree ginseng! & nice repurpose for the exfoliating wipes @itsfi I normally just try to use them up as fast as I can by cleaning off swatches
@sonnydee, thank you so much for sending the Dewytree ginseng mask my way; 🤗 it’s one of my favorite ginseng sheet masks. 💖
The exfoliating side is just too rough for my face; even my nose is like “no, no, no.” 😆
Love Dr teals haven't tried the pink himalayan one yet. I've tried both the lavender & coconut ones. the coconut one being my favorite. also love the fresh lip sugar scrub.
These are some great empties @karap03; nicely done! 🙂 belif moisturizing bomb is a favorite of mine! ❤️
End of March/early April trash

@RGbrown, the BabyFoot exfoliating peel is probably my favorite peel, but yeah, it's a splurge, even when I can find it on sale.
You have some nice products here @danny2785. The watermelon version of MAC Fix+ smells really good! Tarte Knockout is one of the stronger acid treatments out there - I usually have to dilute the formula a bit using it.
@sonnydee, fruity-scented candles seem to be the theme for the month at my house and that sparkling clementine sounds like it would fit right in.
