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.

I have some perfumes that have more of a staying power, so they're going to last a lot longer.  Most of these scents were gone after just a few hours.  Which one are you working on?

I burn candles almost constantly when I'm home.  It's the only way I can justify buying as many as I do! 😄

You know, I can see the Temple Spa scent being very nice for a cream.  I just couldn't get past the feeling that I was using up some bad hotel freebie shampoo and conditioner because I'd forgotten my own.  And I'm not exactly picky about shampoo and conditioner, myself!

I am impressed with the number of scents you finished this month.  I've never finished one ever, so this is awesome.

[shadetertiary]

I reapply a lot since I spend 98% of my time at home and don't have to worry if I accidentally overdo it. Also those deluxe bottles were all partially used and I made it my goal to get them out of here this month!

Is it weird that I'm already excited for sharing my empties at the end of this month.  Should be a good one as I pushed myself to use the dregs of a few products that had been kicking around in my bathroom for awhile and also brought a few samples on my trip to Italy.

I finished a huge SK II moisturizer and may finish another full size or even two of skin are, I can't believe it and so excited, so I hear you 100%!

[kelloua]

That's awesome sister13!  The huge products are always the most satisfying.

I'm kind of disappointed in myself this month. I have exactly 4 empties, 2 of which are samples /.\

[kelloua]

Month's not over yet!  Still time to try a couple of samples.

I've been stockpiling my empties for the first time so I'm excited too. It's something I can laugh at myself for for being ridiculous but still have fun with, if that makes sense. Also I feel very accomplished, which was an unexpected side effect. 

[kelloua]

I feel like this is carrying over to other aspects of my life.  For a second I got excited that I almost had an empty jar of pickles.  Then I remember I have no where to share it.

[sparklekai]

hey! we like pickles too 😛 its actually funny that you said that because my mom was teasing me that she was going to do an empties video with my recycling! 

[kelloua]

That's amazing Sparklekai.  And notcreative, not sure if that was directed at me but totally serious.  😉

[notcreative]

I say share it when you've finished it if you're serious.  I'd love to see the empty jar of pickles.  Although I love pickles, I have never finished a jar.  In the past, I always said I would use an empty pickle jar as a coin jar, but I always throw it out half full.  My husband and kids hate pickles, so I am always on my own eating them.  One day!

Put all your empty cosmetics in the empty pickle jar, then, it is even on topic!

[kelloua]

Hahahaha I love it Notcreative.  🙂

[shadetertiary]

Never finished a pickle jar?

my husband eats pickles like they're candy, so I'm lucky if I even get to it before the jar is empty again! 😄

[notcreative]

The closest I've ever come to finishing a pickle jar is when I am pregnant.  I crave the darn things.  The problem is when I am pregnant I get pregnancy induced hypertension, and they're VERY high in sodium.  Basically, no bueno for blood pressure issues.  Once my blood pressure returns to normal, I do not crave them as much, but I still love them.

[shadetertiary]

Ugh, I had pregnancy induced hypertension too, so I completely empathize.  I feel like it completely ruined the last few weeks of my pregnancy.  The worst is trying not to stress out about high blood pressure readings, since stress only adds to the problem!

[Gwenhwyfar]

My boyfriend and I eat pickles like candy too! 😄

[notcreative]

Haha.  I can't tell if you're joking or serious, but I am laughing like crazy over here.

Forgot to save smaller empties, will do that for next month.

I liked all four of these. 

The lip gloss is Napoleon Perdis lip gloss from a holiday set.

I like the purple eos also, but stopped buying it when I realized only the yellow color has SPF 😕
