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've been using the Elta MD Am Moisturizer instead of the serum. I think it has a higher % of naicinamide in it and is very moisturizing but doesn't break me out. I really had a love/hate relationship with the Olay serum because of the texture. Interesting about the eyebrow regrowth! I didn't know it stops working once you stop? Does that only happen if the follicles have been dead for a really long time or just for anything? I've had friends use it too and once they got the needed regrowth they stopped all together. I need to be more diligent about reapplying it to see better results.

@dziggi Thanks for getting back to me on the moisturizer! I'll have to look into this one. I haven't used the Olay serum but niacinamide has been on my radar for something I want to try.

My understanding on Rogaine is that it will not restore growth from dead hair follicles, but rather revive damaged hair follicles. The hair can miniaturize (smaller diameter) and have a faster growth cycle (more time spent in the resting phase vs growing phase) when the follicle is damaged. I believe Rogaine is supposed to help with both of those aspects, which will make the hair fuller in thinning areas. It's not a permanent treatment from what I've been told which is why I included the maintenance plan she suggested. I wonder how your friends' hair growth has maintained. I hope well!

That's such a great idea for brow regrowth. Glad it is working out.

[BaseballMommy]

@notcreative your comment on brow regrowth is what brought me into this thread. If you're interested in trying it, I wrote how I use it above:) It has actually really helped my brows!

[notcreative]

Thanks. I actually have a couple of eyelash/brow serums left before I would buy something new. One is open but pretty full and the other is not even open yet. Once I am done, I would seriously consider it, so I will find your post.

Great empties! Mizon and I aren't friends either. I love my snails and have to find them elsewhere.

This is April & May together so far, most of them are things I use regularly, except SR Tidal & Dr.Roebuck's Face cream.

I don't have any of the foils I tried, I threw them away right away 😞

[kelloua]

Great empties!  It's always fun to see what people's 'regulars' are.

@dioradict What are your thoughts about Pixie glow tonic. It is so much raved by so many people, I am curious if it is actually that good and does something or toners are not doing. 

[jozkid]

@fatimamummy I jumped on the pixi glow bandwagon, too, when everyone was raving about it. It was relatively inexpensive, so I figured why not? I break out from it. 😞

TBT I'm finding, for myself at least, that Caudalie products work best for me. I have products from a couple other brands, but my core products are from them.

[fatimamummy]

@jozkid Thankyou for sharing your experience. I like Caudalie moisturizer and lip balm.

I actually went through more than I expected in April. Some of my favorites:

Loved the Becca color corrector so I bought the full size, Wen is a staple for me. I have at least 5 other SC body butters. Dr Jart micro water is pretty awesome. Kat Von D wipes work well.

[kelloua]

Great empties!  It does look like you went through a lot.  Kudos. 

[notcreative]

I still love Wen, too. I have not used it exclusively in a while though.

[notcreative]

She is the Queen of the Empties!

[sparklekai]

@njattanathose were some serious work over some serious time! and also not totally finished.  just got to the point where they were old, sticky and i'd used enough to be ok with getting rid of them

[notcreative]

Great month of empties. You destroyed my stash. I am using that OH cleanser right now and think I am in love. It smells divine. 

[heartsmyface]

I've turned my man onto that cleanser!   He loves it!
