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.

@CookieGirl1 yessss! Aqua bomb is my work horse moisturizer! When I jack up my skin trying out stuff I use it to help "fix" me...works everytime. I'm oily btw.

@CookieGirl1 what did you think of the BKR balm? I've been debating trying it. 👀

[CookieGirl1]

@77Casper77 it was okay but if I'm being honest there are others that I like better.  The consistency felt a little too much like Vaseline to me and I absolutely flew through that little container because it seems like I needed a lot for each application. I literally went through that in a month. I absolutely don't think it's a bad product at all and I know that a lot of people really love it because it IS moisturizing and it has a nice, light scent but it just wasn't anything super special to me.

@CookieGirl1 Belif has had cute holiday sets in the past 😉 

[CookieGirl1]

@CC3616 @sonnydee @eshoe Eeek!  Holiday Belif sets!!!

Thanks, @CookieGirl1! I like that waterdrop set-looks like a good variety especially for someone like me who hasn’t used their products 😊

[CookieGirl1]

@CC3616 I vaguely remember seeing them in the past but wasn't that interested.  This, year, though...:)

[eshoe]

I’m glad to know this, @CC3616! Thanks for the tip:)

@CookieGirl1, @Aaliaa recommended that belif Aqua Bomb to me for the winter months and suddenly I’ve been hearing about it everywhere. All good things☺️ Going to have to try that one out!

[Aaliaa]

Huge fan of the Belif moisturizers @eshoe @CookieGirl1. I use both the Aqua Bomb and the heavier Moisturizing bomb depending on the weather. If you have oily skin you'll prefer the gel textured Aqua Bomb and dry skin will prefer Moisture Bomb.

[eshoe]

Yes, thank you, @Aaliaa-I do have a sample of the true cream the aqua bomb so I will keep this in mind👍🏼

@Aaliaa @eshoe @CookieGirl1

My skin loves belif Moisturizing Bomb in the fall and winter. So hydrating and moisturizing. 🙂 

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi @eshoe @Aaliaa I've used the heavier Moisture Bomb in the past and thought it was a little thicker/heavier than what I typically like but I might try it again.  Sometimes I find that I like things better when I revisit them again (as what happened with me for the Aqua Bomb!) so it's probably worth giving it another shot.

[eshoe]

I like heavy in my skincare, @CookieGirl1😊 Thank you so much I am definitely going to try this.

[eshoe]

Thank you, @itsfi! I knew there were a few different moisturizers in that line and wasn’t sure which one would be best suited for my skin. I have a foil of the aqua bomb which I will try just for fun for now;)

[sparklekai]

so i started wrapping up september empties only to realize i never posted august...so here those are.  nothing outstanding & really nothing i'm running out to repurchase - just some average & some nope

skincare/haircare/bodycare

would use again

• skin iceland icelandic relief eye cream
• caudalie vinosource moisturizing sorbet
• alienist complete eye renewal balm
• dry bar 100 proof oil treatment
• philosophy coconut frosting

no

• sol de janeiro brazilian bum bum cream (again i know i’m a freak but i can’t stand the scent)

makeup

would use again

• givency rose dressing
• marc jacobs slow burn
• bite beauty lipstick - damask, spritzer
• mac lipstick - creme cup, nouvelle vogue
• sephora collection #14
• too faced shimmering naked dolly
• colourpop bound
• mac fix + lavender
• colourpop brow pencil in dope taupe
• colourpop super shock shadow in glow

no

• loreal lash paradise (i keep hearing about how amazing this mascara is so i decided to try it.  maybe i’m a freak but i was not a fan.  the mascara was so dry i found it difficult to get anything on my lashes.  i got no length, no volume and it took way to long to get them a tad darker)
• mac lipstick - st germain
• kiko milano deco delight in 06
• colourpop last call
• mac beauty powder in glow ride (this was an exercise in removing hard pan only for hard pan to form again.  only bonus this gets is that my daughter likes the packaging so i’ll keep this to hopefully keep her away from my makeup)
• colourpop hippie pencil in pony (another dry product.  while useable it was a pain to make sure to open it so that the pencil didn’t fall out on the floor)

@sparklekai, I like the Bum Bum cream, but don't find it particularly moisturizing or slimming.  Great job using up your products!

[GG84]

@sparklekai

 I also don't like the scent of the Bum Bum cream. 

[eshoe]

@sparklekai, how would you describe the Mac lavender scent in the Prep + Prime? I need to pick up another and want to try a different scent (I have Rose right now and am interested in the original which I guess is herbal, and the lavender one). Thanks and just be happy you don't care for the Bum Bum scent - that cream is not cheap 😉

[sparklekai]

@eshoe i personally don't know that i would repurchase the lavender scent.  not because there is anything wrong with it but because my brain associates it with the lavender spray we used as "sleep spray" for my son.  i smell it and i want to curl up and sleep :).  the scent is a soft lavender you can smell it but its not overly medicinal or strong

[eshoe]

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, @sparklekai! I will probably try out the Original scent then☺️
