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.

Wow!  So many masks and foils.  Good job!

[heartsmyface]

Thanks!  I worked hard at them!  

[whitepolkydots]

that's an impressive pile of foils!!

[heartsmyface]

I just let out a big sigh of accomplishment!  I challenged myself to use up at least one or two a day and it went quite well!

Adorable grabby hand! ^_^

[heartsmyface]

hahaha, that first picture is priceless!   

We had a lot of fun trying to take pics last night for this thread!  I gave him his own garbage to entertain him but he was more interested in stealing the stuff I was playing with, or pulling the blanket out from under it!   😂  We got it done!

So many fragrance vials. I need to get better about wearing mine. And love the grabby hand photo!

[heartsmyface]

Thanks, I've been trying really hard to use them but I think you'll be seeing fewer of them in the future cause I want to get using some of my actual purchased perfumes.

the replica by the fireplace smelled terrible so those two are not empty.  

Mr Grabby had me laughing so hard last night!  My pile of makeup garbage was waaaay more exciting than any of his toys!

It's so funny how things wear different to different people! I'm actually wearing by the fireplace today and it was a reminder of how much I liked it 😉 

[heartsmyface]

Oh you like?  I can ship these guys off to you if you wish.  PM me your address if you're interested.  They smell good like smoked marshmallows at first but then turn musky on me.

@heartsmyface I really appreciate the offer, so thoughtful! Being US not worth the cost it'd be to ship them across for as little as I wear them.. There's a couple stores nearby that stock it so I can grab vials! 😘

Lots of empties!  Youve been busy...love the baby foot, but I left a comment below on my last experience.  

[heartsmyface]

Ouhhhh, I have to go check that out!!!  😛

I have a million empties, and laid them all out for pictures a while back, which for some reason totally disappeared from my phone. 😡😡😡

However, I did make a goal to use up some samples on my trips, so here are a few from recent travels:

Have to say I really liked everything except the Sephora eye makeup wipes were pretty terrible, not even worth getting more free samples (which is where these came from), imo. The glam glow smells like a pina colada, I wanted to eat it. Obviously didn't use any for an extended time, but they worked great for traveling.

@sister13 were the sephora wipes ineffective at removing makeup or bad for your skin? i stocked up on a few for traveling and am now thinking i should test them first :S

[shyvicki]

I had previously tried the Sephora eye makeup wipes and hated them. Did not get all of my eye makeup off and I normally don't wear waterproof mascara or liner.

[sister13]

Yes, agreed, they just didn't remove mascara and eyeliner and ended up smearing everything so I had to use a different face wash to get everything clean. i thought they'd be so convenient for travel, but pretty useless! MAYBE they work for some products but certainly not for long wearing eyeliner/mascara.  @whitepolkydots

@whitepolkydots

I had bought all the 'flavors' of the Sephora wipes and wished I hadn't. They are terrible at removing makeup. TERRIBLE. and they sting your eyes.

I gave some away for xmas, and trying to use up that last two packages I have (coconut and rose) by using them to take off my makeup remover oil.

They are seriously terrible.

Ole Henrikson ones are far superior.

[heartsmyface]

@Insomniacmuffin yikes!  Maybe they can be repurposed as WetOnes for on the go hand washing.

[Insomniacmuffin]

haha @heartsmyface  this is probably TMI but.. I started using them to clean the outside of my ears.

[whitepolkydots]

@Insomniacmuffin oh no.. thanks for that review! 😞 i should've guessed when i tried to look up reviews and couldn't find the product. i just assumed it was the plain Sephora remover drizzled over a napkin for easier sampling..
