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.

Lots of trash this week!

I’d repurchase all the sheet masks - they were all enjoyable. Also loved almost everything in the second picture. I wouldn’t purchase a full size of the Chanel because I can think of, oh I don’t know, 56039 things I’d rather spend $600 on. It was very fun to try such an expensive moisturizer as a GWP, though!

Chanel moisturizer, fun thing to try @scott1201! 

[curlychiquita]

@scott1201, yes, that's the only way I'd try a $600 moisturizer!

@scott1201, what did you think of the Olaplex? I’ve heard a lot of hype about it on here, so I am very curious!

[snoflakefaerie]

@eshoe if you are hesitant to splurge on the Olaplex, I've been happy with the results I've gotten using Redken's pH Bonder (got mine at Ulta). I got the professional version when I bleached my hair, and use the at home treatment occasionally. I keep it on for a half hour to hour, and my hair feels really soft and manageable. 

I haven't tried Olaplex because of the price, so I can't say how they compare, but I'm happy paying $16 for 150 ml for the Redkin; it feels worth it.

I've been tempted to get a sample of the Olaplex to do a side by side test. If that happens, I'll update on my opinion!

It’s been really great for my hair and I’ll definitely repurchase, @eshoe! I have fine, course, wavy hair that is very textured and never seemed to grow past my collarbones without a ton of damage. I’ve seen a lot of healthy growth the past couple of months while using this and it seems to be keeping damage at bay. I don’t color or bleach my hair, so I can’t say how it would help with that kind of damage. Definitely worth a shot! Since it’s a small amount I always tried to get the most out of each time I used it - I would apply then clip it up and hang out for an hour or so before washing out. I think I got maybe 5 uses?

Ok shoot, that sounds like my hair needs it. I kept reading your review hoping for some sort of out but it fits my hair to a tee. Thank you, @scott1201☺️

@scott1201 I love just about all of these too!! That Amika is da bomb! 💣💥Great job masking!! 🙌

@scott1201 How are the Shiseido cotton pads ? Do they fall apart quickly or stretch easily? I’m wondering if they are worth the extra splurge compared to the ones from the drugstore?

[Luvstravel]

@keana1, definitely worth it! They are so soft, you'll never go back to drugstore pads! Plus like stated you get a lot for $10

[keana1]

@Luvstravel Thanks!😉

[scott1201]

I will never, ever, go back to drug store cotton pads after using these. They do not shed or stretch at all! On days where I only wear mascara I can use one pad for both eyes. I would highly highly recommend them. Cost per use really isnt that different from drugstore prices since you get 165 pieces for $10. Hope that helps! @keana1

[keana1]

@scott1201 Thanks! I’ll finish the ones I already have but I’m going to give them a try since they sound quite good! 😉

[Shosh85]

Most of my empties consist of sheet masks these days!! 

The little silver tube on the far right (use to be black) is the Bite Lip Mask that I’m so sad I’m out of! 

❤️= Love

👍= Like

😐= Meh

[bakeamuffin]

Nice @Shosh85! I’m excited to try the rose water sheet mask 😄

[eshoe]

I tried quite a few new things this week and there are some wows and some woes 🧐 the good stuff first! Origins Flower Fusion Raspberry Mask is a must. After a Ren Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask, my skin was the softest it’s been since my last DE Sukari Babyfacial. Glamglow Flashmid Brightening Treatment reminded me first of the YSL Rouge Pur in scent. 💕. It had the tiniest exfoliating granules, and left my skin so smooth. The nohj Modeling Mask is gorgeous with its gold flowers printed on the sheet mask. And a 5 pack of this Crème Shop Collagen Mask for $5...perfect for everyday use! The ‘Goods’ would be ‘Greats’ except they are either 1) too much💸 or 2) others have surpassed in effectiveness. The Pacifica was for my daughter, but she turned out to be sensitive to the coconut, so it was passed on to me. It has a slight pink shimmer common to a lot of highlighters now. I just recently tried the Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, And if it were thicker with a heavier scent, it would be a dupe. It gives the same glow, almost. Last, the Leaders Violet Energy Mask. Unless you love masks reminding you of laundry (the strong Tide scent) and so stiff they refuse to be patted or forced into place, steer clear. It didn’t last 30 seconds, because even though I was willing to forego the smell, it would not fit on my face at all. A fun week, as I tried many new items and discovered some new loves!

[keana1]

@eshoe It’s a shame that you found out that there were 2 protective layers on the Leaders mask after having used it! I just wish we could read Korean in order to get extra information on the sheet masks 😜

[eshoe]

@keana1, I know. I have a few masks now that have 2 or 3 steps (one has 4), and I just know I am going to mess it up somehow!

[keana1]

@eshoe Good luck with the 3-4 step masks ! 😜

[Zvezdochka]

@eshoe Thats so strange about the Leaders mask. I did not have that experience. Once I removed protective sheets from both sides of the mask, it fit just fine. Still the mask itself is just OK. There are many better choices out there, like this awesome gold mask (from Facetory I assume) 🌟

[eshoe]

@Zvezdochka, oh 😮 no. I thought it might be a protective layer, but didn’t see where I could peel it off...obviously I was very, very wrong😔 what an embarrassing mistake!!!! Thank you for letting me know.
