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.
@heartsmyface WOW I love this- your empties are inspiring me to go through my stash. I want to have as many foil empties as you haha 😄
Lol, the foils are easier than they look! I just do a few days of using a sample from every category- wash, face cream, body lotion, shampoo etc... they add up really fast. @ohheyitscindyk It helps that they're right by my sink in the washroom so I don't forget to use them:)
July/August Empties:
Please feel free to ask any questions, I'm too tired to go into full reviews but maybe some stand outs.
Loved, will or already have repurchased.
I'm still trying to figure out how much of the Alpha Skincare Body Lotion to use without it feeling heavy but it's a good body exfoliant. Second tube of the L'Oreal Brow Plumber, it's perfect for my dark eyebrows with my highlighted blonde hair. I really want to try the Boy Brow and see what the big fuss is about first.
Meeehh... izzzz alright, iz alright.I always have a lot of mehs for some reason. I just don't have strong feelings for any of these items. The Nars foundation, Drunk Elephant Eye Cream, L'Oreal Micellar water are good products, nothing amazing for me. I won't run out to buy them but they ended up in my collection somehow again, I would use them. The Shikai Eye Cream sadly went bad, so I used it on my legs... I think I probably should buy it again to give it a fair chance but I'm going through a phase where I don't think eye creams are necessary.
Not for me, pass.
I actually I used up a bronzer. This was Sunny Bunny from the Too Faced Bonjour Soleil palette... from 2014! I cannot believe it's been 3 years. It's a bit orangey on my complexion so that's why it is a pass.
All of the things, looks like it was a good amount for the past two months!
All of the makeup... being on a no buy and shopping my collection is really making me work through some items. I do have a teeeny bit of the NARS foundation in a smaller bottle. I really realize how fortunate I am to have a decent sized collection but I'm definitely falling in a rut with my makeup! I've even stopped wearing lipstick, I'm just bored with everything I have... I like using the items up but I want some new items. I'm tempted to break my no buy but I must resist. 😄
Ha, I have chocolate radar!!! All I'm looking at is that yummy looking chocolate tart with what looks like a rum ball inside. Annnnd this is why I'm not losing the baby weight. @dziggi
@heartsmyface Hehehe, so when I got that candle I was like "ohhh chocolate yes" then saw it was a candle. Disappointed.
July and August together. Looks like I did pretty good job - 88 pieces 🙂
Loves, tried for the first time. Bioderma and Bio-essence mask are fantastic.

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!

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😂
My August empties. Not as many foil samples this month but some deluxe and full size ones.
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
August empties!!
Loves:
Perricone Face Finishing Moisturizer
Algenist Genius Serum
L'occitane Shower Oil
Guerlain Cils D'enfer
Smashbox Eyebrow Pencil
The rest are mostly "meh". The Tru beauty is a spatula that broke.
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
