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.

[notcreative]

Welcome back.  I've missed your beautiful face.  I like the Neutrogena sunscreen too.  I've never tried any of the other ones.  Glad to her you like the Babydoll mascara.  I keep going back and forth trying to decide whether or not to open that or the Better Than Sex Mascara next.  I cannot decide which I want to try more.

[heartsmyface]

Thanks kim!  I missed you as well but there was no way to get away from all the other people for long enough to sign in an contribute':/.  It was intoxication week for all our friends and it's hard to escape drunk friends when you're sharing cabins..i've  got that better than sex mascara  open as well as three others right now.  So far not impressing me.  It's so clumpy.  I'd open that one first since I have a feeling the babydoll will just make you hate it more.  Wow, I must really not like it at all.

Here are my July empties!  I'm a bit behind and didn't go through as many foils cause work's been crazy.

Spoiler

Loves/HG items - will repurchase:

• Paul Mitchell Quick Slip styling cream
• Redken Extreme Shampoo and Conditioner: HG, makes my hair so soft
• Neutrogena makeup remover wipes
• Neutrogena Deep Clean face scrub
• Clinique Super Rescue moisturizer
• UD Naked Skin foundation 6.0
• UD Primer potion
• UD 24/7 eyeliner in Black Market

Likes 

• Sephora body butter
• TF Better than sex mascara: I prefer the travel size, hard to use this size up before it starts clumping
• BBW Pure Paradise body wash
• Bee Kind body lotion
• Paul Mitchell Hair Rescue Treatment:  took me forever to use this up, I liked it at first but I think I'll buy something else next time

Dislikes

• Yes to carrots body butter: not moisturizing enough
• Boscia black cleanser: makes my eyes burn when I rinse
• Pearl souffle shaving cream: was super silky but definitely overpriced
• Stila 10-in-1 BB cream: made me super greasy
• Blinc mascara: ok at first, trying to put on a second coat was a total nightmare, not good after second week
• MUFE Smoky Extravagant mascara: spider-lash-city, threw out after first use
• Alterna Bamboo volume shampoo and conditioner: horrible tangles, conditioner did nothing, never again
• BB Hairdresser's Invisible Oil shampoo and conditioner: too heavy for my fine hair, smells great though

[notcreative]

I cannot agree more of the MUFE mascara.  Unlike you, I tried to use it for a while.  In retrospect, I should have tossed it after the first use.  It is not like I do not have 40 more unopened mascaras.  Thanks for the tip on getting the smaller size Better than Sex mascara.  I am going to try that next or just after Babydoll.  I never use a full tube of mascara, so I prefer buying kits with smaller sizes or using sample sizes.

Will repurchase:

boscia Makeup Breakup Cleansing Oil - works great to remove makeup, I use it as a first cleanse when I wear makeup

boscia Black Mask - I love peeling it off, my skin looks better after using and it nips any blemishes in the bud

Every Strand Argan Hair Mask - love it! Easy to use, already repurchased the bigger size, my hair is so soft after using this

Skintimate Shave Cream - keeps my legs moisturized

L'Oreal Sulfate Free Shampoo - my HG

RL #4 - Love it for summer

Clinique Dramatically Different Gel - one of the only moisturizers that does not break me out

Just OK

Caress body wash - smells good, but there are others I like more

Aveda Dry Remedy - works pretty well, not a huge fan of the smell

Degree - works ok, I like Secret better, but they didn't have my normal one so I picked this up

Not a fan

Sport Sunscreen - eh, didn't last very long for a sport sunscreen, also not a huge fan of spray sunscreens

John Frieda Root Awakening Conditioner - did nothing for my hair

boscia White Mask - made my skin worse

FAB Facial Polish - ok, but nothing special, I like others more

Neutrogena sport face sunscreen - super oily, pretty much every time I used it I had a new blemish or two

I love the scent of the soft soap - body butter coconut scrub I've lost count of how many times I've bought it.

[notcreative]

BiFacial is fantastic.  I like that you only had one no from everything you tried.  I know your skin color is not much darker than mine.  How are you applying the chocolate soliel?  I used it (again) for the first time the other day.  I am liking it more than before but thinking I will concentrate it on certain areas and use a lighter bronzer in others.  

[sparklekai]

i like it...i use a mac 163 around the outside of my forehead and use my ud optical blurring blush to blend...it ends up being very subtle on me

[notcreative]

Thanks. I am thinking of using it for the hollows of my cheeks and sides of my nose but trying a lighter color for my three and E.  I will keep practicing applying it with a lighter hand and blending more.

[crayzeeRN]

Killin it as usual, Ms. Sparkle 🙂

[sparklekai]

i'm going hard on my use it before opening something kick!!

[heartsmyface]

Haha, that's how I decided to get around not buying stuff!  I still get to buy it but I have to sit on it til a coupke things are used up':)

Smaller empties month for me:

Loved:

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque

ABH Clear Brow Gel

Liked/Ok:

Simple Cleansing Wipes x 2

Buxom Mascara

Dermalogica Active Moist Face Moisturizer

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

Sephora Professional Kabuki brush (the natural hair fibers are scratchy now)

Hated:

Ulta liquid eye liner

Eylure Lashfix adhesive

Stila lip glaze (Throwing this away full because that's how much I hate it... not only do I really dislike sticky lipglosses, but this one arrived cracked in a goodie bag and I've been trying to salvage it but it's just not worth it. It's been making everything else around it sticky! Yuck!)

Foam applicator (Got this when experimenting with liquid foundation application methods. Thank god I found the beauty blender)

[notcreative]

Had to laugh at your Stila lip glaze review.  I barely wear mine as well, because they are so sticky.

[heartsmyface]

Ha, I'm on the fence with the stila gloss as well.  I use it only when I'm doing peels or whitening my teeth.  Things that could make my lips dry. If it''so cracked then it's trash cause it's not that great a product.  Makes me wish there were a teenage girl in the house.

[crayzeeRN]

I have this same packet of Macadamia Masque, I really need to try it!! Nice empties this month!

[NicoleFrat]

Same here.  It will make it into the August empties edition.

[blackunicorn]

Why is it so fun to look at every one else's empty? 🙂 Can't help  but click on this thread!

[heartsmyface]

It's disturbingly fun to collect empties as well.
