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 love the Agave Hair Oil!

[kelloua]

Me too.  I was pleasantly surprised!

Some of these are true empties and some (mostly the makeup) are products I'm giving up on or ones that are too old.

Best: I really like a lot of these, but the Algenist Concentrated Reconstruction Serum is the only one I repurchased. 

Worst: The Marc Jacobs liquid liner pen (from a 500-point perk) was a complete bust. I literally used it only twice before tossing it.

You know I love BiFacial, but I am impressed you finished three so quickly. It takes me a long time to finish one.

[TKLJ]

To be fair, I empty whatever eye makeup remover I'm using into one of those plastic containers with a pump that they have in stores. I can't find the Sephora one that I use, but the bottle looks like this.

That is smart. As much as I love the product, I am not a fan of the bottle (sample or full-sized).

[TKLJ]

It has an insane safety lock on it. I've had an easier time getting into medicine bottles.

[JazaChai]

Really! It surprises me that you hated the MJ liner so much, I would consider using that over KVD. What did you not like about it?

[sister13]

This MJ liner is my HG!

[TKLJ]

I also hate the KvD! The only felt-tipped liner pen that I like is the Stila.

Now, I don't know if this is because it's a deluxe mini, but the product was dispensed very unevenly and skipped a lot. I also noticed the felt tip was already fraying after only two uses, and I wasn't exactly using it to sign my John Hancock on important documents or anything. Also, sometimes the color would be more gray than black, even though I shook it vigorously before using it. It just didn't seem worth my time to continue trying it.

The Stila one truly is lovely.  It's so fool proof.  I've found it to be the easiest to use.  I love it!

[njattana]

What did you think of the FAB Radiance Polish? 

[TKLJ]

ETA: My original response made no sense because I was thinking of a different product. Sorry!

This is sort of a repurchase. I received a deluxe sample last year and bought the full size when it ran out. It lasted a good seven months with me using a tiny bit every three days or so. I'll probably purchase again, but I have so many other exfoliator samples to get through first.

Such great empties!  I too am trying to get better at tossing out things that are too old or don't work for me.  For me, my L'Oreal products were in that camp.  I bought them when I desperately needed makeup at work for a touch up and they were never really my color or formula.  They hung around my bathroom drawer far longer than they should have.  Now I'm better at having a small stash of makeup at work to avoid purchases like this.

What did you think of those Karuna face masks?  I've always been curious about them.

[TKLJ]

I don't know that I can judge if the Karuna masks (or any masks) actually make my skin better, but I do like that my skin is still soft the next morning. However, I actually find them a bit harder to apply than the Sephora ones; the Karuna ones stick together more and are harder to untangle from the plastic backing.

[kelloua]

That's fair.  I swear with most of mine it is more immediate and short lived benefits though part of why I love them is for relaxation purposes.

[njattana]

Haha, we must have very different perfume tastes. I bought a rollerball of Le Vie Est Belle and gave my sample of Velvet Orchid away. 🙂

[njattana]

lol It was earlier in the month but if I remember correctly I think I thought it was too sweet

[TKLJ]

It is very sweet. I remember being surprised that I like it. I actually rolled some on after I saw this picture. 🙂

[kelloua]

Great empties!
