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'm in awe of your panning on the hourglass - and impressive candle usage!
P.S. I love that lancome bi-facil too. 🙂
That's impressive panning on the Hourglass! I just am about to hit pan on my OG ALP lol.
My December and January empties
Loved
Ok
Didn't Like
Did the lashfood give you results? I started using it a week ago.
I didn't use it very consistently but I think if you do yes. I received another one in a GWP so I have started to use it more consistently. @Lynni98
December/January Empties

Sorry for the fuzzy picture..here's a list.
Christophe Robin Cleansing Mask with Lemon - was amazing for my itchy dry winter scalp.
Belif True Cream Moisturizing Bomb
Drunk Elephant B-Hydra gel
PTR Laser Free Serum
Philosophy Time in a bottle for eyes
Nyx Micro Brow- probably one of my most repurchased items.
Meh...
Two of the items I really disliked- the KateSomerville Wrinkle Warrior, too scented and did not like the silicone feel. The Whish deodorant - did not work, actually made things worse.
Jan Empties
All of the products in the first row are staples that I've been using for awhile. The Neutrogena and Ren cleansers, Shea Moisture hand cream, and Fresh Seaberry face oil are products I like to use during the winter. I use the Lush lip scrub and Dr. Dennis Gross eye serum all year round.
-Algenist Anti-Aging Melting Cleanser-- I didn't care for this. I've used plenty of other melting-type cleansers that work much better.
-Simple Micellar Water-- This was just ok. I don't think I'll be repurchasing.
-Ole Henriksen Truth Cleansing Cloths-- I liked these, especially the citrus scent. I would buy again.
-Yes to Coconut Ultra Hydrating Facial Mask-- I like this mask for days when my normally oily skin is extremely dry due to the dry, cold winter air. I would repurchase to use during the winter when my skin needs an extra boost of moisture.
-Skinceuticals C E Ferulic serum-- I like this serum and I think my skin has been looking brighter since I've been using it. The bottle lasts a long time since it only takes about 4 drops to cover my entire face. I will probably repurchase again when I'm able to get it a a discounted price (as I did with this bottle), but not immediately. I'm planning on trying the Drunk Elephant vitamin c serum next.
January Empties! These are less than December in part because I didn't get around to doing those until about a week into Jan, and partly because I've been going through some larger DS/FS skincare items in my ongoing quest to Finish All My Samples. But I do have a FS powder product, so that's something!
Loves: Have or would repurchase
Meh: Would use again but not buy/pay full price:
Nope:

Just ok- The Cle de peau cleanser is ok but nothing special just a basic foaming cleanser and the price is high for what you get.
The Darphin serum is soothing but very thin consistency more like toner or essence to me than a serum.
Lots of empties this month. January was all about skincare for me.
Loves:
Timeless 20% Vitamin E/C/Ferulic Acid (already repurchased)
Drunk Elephant Framboos (already repurchased)
Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask: Has a strong rose scent that I don't care for, but I just love the way my skin looks after using this.
Drunk Elephant B-Hydra (not pictured): I only used a mini of this so the love status is on the fence, but I really like it so far and think it will be the perfect moisturizer for summer. While the air is still dry, I'm enjoying using it under a heavier cream moisturizer. Purchased the full size today.
NARS Tinted Moisturizer (Alaska): This is one of very few staples in my makeup routine and the product I have stuck with the longest. It might be the love of my makeup life. I have the next lighter shade, Finland, which will work for the next month or so while I'm at my palest but I fully plan to repurchase Alaska in the spring/summer.
Good:
Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkle Lip - I don't use this for lip wrinkles as advertised. It's just a good lip exfoliator for me and I already have a backup.
Dr. Dennis Gross Clinical Hydration Booster - I do enjoy adding this to my moisturizer and am considering repurchasing. For now I'm experimenting with layering a lighter moisturizer (like the PTR cloud cream or Drunk Elephant B-Hydra) under my cream moisturizer.
Peter Thomas Roth Cloud Cream: I like this but used it up too fast to form a full opinion. I'm intrigued though and plan to check out the Cloud Serum next since this is similar in texture to the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra, which I just purchased a full size of.
Murad Hydro Dynamic Moisturizer (2): Basic, but effective for my dry skin. I plan to repurchase either this or Drunk Elephant Lala retro.
Undecided:
LXMI cream - I thought I could only use this on very dry, flaky spots but lately I've been using it all over. I have another sample size that I'm going to continue using.
La Mer Treatment Lotion - This feels nice going on and I really like the texture of it. It's gentle but hydrating under my moisturizer. I'm going to purchase another mini (if I can find one) to try it out a bit longer.
Not repurchasing:
Fresh Rose Cream - not moisturizing enough and I didn't care for the strong scent.
I love the NARS tinted moisturizer! I also wear Alaska for most of the year, but since I moved to a less sunny locale I now need a lighter shade in the winter months. Thanks for the heads-up that Finland works for you...I'll take a look at it!
These are my empties for January.loves

january makeup empties!
things i'd repurchase in a second:
too faced hangover rx - heaven for my dry skin!
mufe ultra hd foundation
colourpop brow pencil
mac paint pots - soft ochre and morning frost - morning frost quickly became a fave and i'm sad i can't find it!
nars pencil in sex machine
essence lash princess mascara
hard passes
dr jart bb - sooo gray!!!! so hard to make this work with my skin
colourpop liner - dried out so quickly & broke so easily
maybelline instant age rewind eraser makeup - thought it was the concealer until i actually purchased it - no returns - and got out and actually looked at it - found it cakey and super orange
I finally used up all my Nars radiant concealer and I have to say i'm more impressed with my KVD concealer, the Nars was really thick and i felt like it just didn't blend out well for me no matter what I tried and just made me look a little cakey.
I have yet to try the KVD concealer. After using Nars, I eventually fell in love with UD Naked Skin concealer.
I completely agree. I switched from Nars RCC to the KVD Concealer Creme and haven't looked back!
Well I think I finally was able to upload a picture 🙂

Great empties. I don't care for the Ole Henriksen ultimate lift eye gel either. It's just not hydrating enough for my undereye area and feels rather sticky.
Sorry all, I can't bear to keep empty product vessels around, so I never take pictures. However, it is oddly satisfying to write them down!

I have the same trouble keeping empties around, most of the time I end up throwing them out without even thinking about it.
You're still tracking them so it has the same effect. I can just use my imagination to see your lot.
