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.

[gogreyhound]

i love that Sephora lip balm, too--not bad for 5 bucks!

[TKLJ]

I buy 10 at a time during the winter sale.

Aveeno positively smooth shave gel

Dior Extase mascara

John Frieda dream curls

Lush Blazoned Honey

Liked (maybe repurchase)

Olay cleansing cloths

Tresemme conditioner

Bosnia detoxifying black cleanser

Agonist purifying & replenishing cleanser

Disliked (will not repurchase)

Maybelline the rocket mascara- too wet!

DevaCurl no-poo and conditioner- couldn't get past the smell 😞

L'Oreal shampoo- nothing special

Laura Mercier- I threw this out because it was old and dried up

TreStique- nice color (bronze/gold), but very patchy, faded quickly, and creased

I did not even know Aveeno made a shave gel. My interest is piqued. 

[MrsLisha]

I luv all of the Aveeno products I've tried. Very good for sensitive skin and/or eczema.

Great empties!

[StephaniLynn]

I think I did pretty we this month:)

Loves:

Tree Hut Sugar Scrub - I stock up when Ulta has these on sale:)

Sexy Hair Tri Wheat Soy Leave in Conditioner - best detangler I've tried 

MAC Oil Control Lotion - it's cheaper & you get more product by buying 2 travel sizes than 1 full size;)

Huggies Cucumber & Green Tea Wipes - love these for wiping anything down or of my fave is feeling dirty on no makeup days

Equate Makeup Removing Wipes(Blue ones) - I love these way more than the Neutrogena brand! & you get 40 wipes for a couple bucks!

Living Proof Full Shampoo - I like how this left my hair feeling 

Living Proof Full Conditioner - I felt like my hair was uber volumized 

Deva Curl No Poo Shampoo - This stuff tamed yet defined my curls

Deva Curl One Condition - Left my hair curly and so soft:)

Deva Curl Ultra Definung Gel - Curls gone wild. In a good way:)

Origins Clear Improvememts - I love this stuff more than my GG SuperMud. & that's saying something!

Tarte Tarteguard - I like this stuff

Supergoop Everyday Sunscreen - love this. May get the full size!

Murad Invisiblur - glad I got a deliver sample because I'm really liking!

Raulph Lauren Midnight Romance - Must buy full size! So good!

Sally Hansen Razor - always have these around. My sideburns and get a little wild...

Mehhhhs:

GlamGlow SuperMud - found someone I like more

Boscia Black Cleanser - I like, but I have a butt ton of cleanser to get through...

Huggies Orgional Wipes - I like the Cucumber & Grean Tea ones better

ELF High Definition Powder - meh 

UD All Nighter Spray - I love my DeSlick & Chill more

Prada Candy - Smells good, just don't love it 

Neutrogena Makeup Removing Wipes - these leave a film on my eyes and burns. Equates are better for me. 

Absolutely Nots:

S&G Sugar Crush Body Buttercream - not in love with the scent

Avon Cucumber Melon Hand Sanitizer - it smelled okay, but I found it in the back of a drawer and decided to use it up. 

ELF Liquid Lipstick - kind of over these. Giving them to my nieces to use up. 

Victoria Jackson Brow Pencil - Nope nope nope. It's is super red based and made my brows look disgusting. 

Swisspers Cotton Rounds - falls apart  I love the White Cloud ones better but my BF bought the wrong ones. 

Miracle Skin Miracle Mud - burned like a MF. I think I might be allergic to something in this. 

[notcreative]

What are the Huggies wipes for? Face, body, bum? I cannot imagine putting green tea on my bum, but I would try it if was not a meh for you.

[kelloua]

Great empties!  Also a total reminder that skin is so individual because for me the GG Supermud works better than Origins Clear Improvement, but I mostly use Supermud as a spot treatment.

[shyvicki]

At least you thought the Prada Candy smelled good. It smells like old lady perfume on me. Even the Equate version of the Neutrogena wipes stung the crap out of my eyes. 

[shadetertiary]

And here I thought I was the only one who didn't like the sugar crush scent!

[StephaniLynn]

My mom loves it, me not so much lol. 

[jeyrosella]

Yay for July Empties! 

LOVES: 

Spoiler

FAB Dual Repair Serum and Eye Cream -alas, discontinued 😞
Marc Anthony Beach Spray (works better for me than Bumble and Bumble, OGX, Tigi)
Boscia Tsubaki Overnight Mask (great intensive moisturizer when skin is super dry and for travel)
Origins Checks and Balances (Nice if you want a foamy cleanser, I use only when I am very oily)
Sephora Citrus Brush Cleaner (will repurchase once I am done with the Beauty Blender liquid which was not worth the hype!)
OH Truth Serum (fades my dark spots well)
Bliss Triple Oxygen Radiance Serum (really want to try full size and I am not usually a Bliss fan)
Hask Argan Oil from Morocco Shampoo- might even replace my HG OGX argan shampoo
Gucci Guilty- want a full size for Christmas- loved!- other perfume samples I won't mention as they were forgettable

Likes

Spoiler

Boscia Tsubaki Exfoliating Powder- love/hate with this. If I mixed the perfect amount of water with it I was in love, but often it just didn't mix up right
B&BW Coconut Vanilla Lotion (discontinued, just OK)
Eos mint (wish more Eos came with SPF and not just the yellow for that reason I have mostly switched to Fresh Sugar)
MDSolar- SPF 50 Mineral Cream (kind of gritty but absorbed well)

Not for me

Spoiler

Jack Black All Over Wash (was fine but its a male-targeted product and smells like that)
Jack Black Face Buff (I only use chemical exfoliants for the most part, this was too harsh)
Sephora Express Eye Makeup Remover Wipe- didnt remove waterproof mascara. Had to tug a lot just to get off eyeshadow
Dr. Jart PoreMedic- too greasy and thick feeling for summer 
Dr. Jart Dis-a-pore- just not a great fit, too light
Matrix Biolage keratindose- ugh left my hair drier than it already is! awful
Benefit Poremedic- so glad I tried a sample before falling for the hype. Felt it did nothing
Body Shop Tea Tree Face Wash- Too harsh on my skin, felt it was stripping

[notcreative]

I think I got a mini of that Marc Anthony from an Ipsy bag. Have not been inspired to try it until now. Thanks.

[kelloua]

Great empties!  And I got that beach spray from a TSB so now you're making me even more excited to try it out.

[Mochapj]

Wow, I thought I had a lot of empties last month until I started scrolling through this thread.  None of these blew me away, in the 'must repurchase' sense.  The only full on no was the born this way foundation; technically it is not an empty.  I used the deluxe once and am throwing it away because it sucks for me.

Im really happy to be moving on to a new day and night cream, as well as a new day serum.

[notcreative]

Love that coconut body shop cream. Smells great and moisturizes nicely. What did you think?

[kelloua]

I think those are great empties.  I need to get better about throwing thing away when they just don't work rather than letting them clutter up my makeup drawers.  Is that the PTR Camu Camu serum?  That was my gateway into serums.  Lasted forever and really did seem to improve my skin, but I'm not sure if they reformulated it but the new version I got to replenish it seemed so different I returned it.

[shadetertiary]

I'm impressed by the empty Clinique pump.  I feel like I'm going to have mine until the next ice age.
