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.

[Mcakes]

Is it just me or does everything seem to run out at the same time? lol

[BeautybyJules]

what did you think of the belif toner?

Thank you for all of your posts! This thread really inspired me to go through my stash and used everything I have - I focused on samples and foils. I had so many half-used samples that I decided to first use all of them up. It took me from middle of May until now to fill up my empties bag. Next project is to use as much perfume samples as possible.

@KellW What do you think about the Ordinary? I want to try some of their stuff because of the prices but honestly  I'm so overwhelmed with their products. I just bought their serum foundation and so far I like it.

[KellW]

@katkapivarci I'm not in love with either of their primers that I tried but I really like the argan oil (and for $8 it's even better), so I think there products are just hit or miss for me. I'm also interested in the new foundations, but thankfully I have time before I will feel like I need to pull the trigger on that particular purchase. Like @Mochapj said try looking at the Deciem brand thread to see how other people enjoy products. Hopefully there you will be able to find people who have similar concerns/skin to you.

June and July empties

Just ok

The bubble mask was nice but I didn't realize until I opened it that it would only cover half my face,I would have liked it if it was a full mask.

Dislike

I tried this mascara since a lot of people seem to like it but it just wasn't for me,I found it clumpy and didn't like the formula.

[katkapivarci]

@Seymore3 I'm trying  the blue Glamglow mask right now and I love the consistency and smell. Feels really good And my skin feels super moisturized. 👍🏻

[heartsmyface]

Awww, too bad it's only half a mask.  Bubble masks are fun!  I'' not sure what the bubbles are supposed to do other than make me happy:) @Seymore3

[mmmiu]

I use a mix of Japanese brands too 🙂

Jo Malone Wild Bluebell - on my 3rd bottle now

ABH in Ebony

Heroine Make Black Eyeliner - too many repurchases to keep track

Bite Beauty Sweet Cream

Dolly Wink Volume Mascara - also too many repurchases to keep track

UD E/S Suspect (I hope it's not discontinued... Shoppers and Sephora don't have it in their display, but at least the Sephora website has it) - on my 3rd one

Orbis SPF - on my 4th one

MUFE HD Concealer 

KATE lipstick

Isn't it so satisfying to finish up a product?!

[heartsmyface]

You used up an eyeshadow!!!!   That's worth a party!!!@mmmiu

[k617]

I can never save empties so can't post a photo...I'm too OCD to have packaging kicking around, but here are my recent empties:

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream - My go-to body lotion, already opened another tub. Do wish this came in a pump format and not a tub though.

Herbivore Blue Tansy Mask - FINALLY finished this jar of mask which has lasted me exactly 1 year. Second jar already open!

LORAC mini eyeshadow primer - this came with one of the LORAC palettes, and I've still got 3 more tubes. 1 mini tube lasted me about a year (though I don't wear shadows daily). Really like this, I do experience some creasing with certain shadows but nothing a quick pat down can't fix.

Smashbox Hydrating Under Eye Primer mini - love this stuff, looking forward to opening my full sized tube. I use this to prep under eye area for concealer. Makes me feel less bad about being too lazy to use eye cream. The mini from a 250 pt perk has lasted me over a year I think!

[LolliLove]

I can't save my empties either - I live in such a small space that it drives me nuts! That's why I keep a little note on my computer with what I've finished. It makes me feel oddly accomplished.

[Mochapj]

MUFE Mist Fix
Josh Rosebrook Cacao Antioxidant Mask - smelled gross, hard to spread, didn't do much for my skin
Briogeo Scalp Revival
Odacite Gt+L
Uma Deeply Clarifying - works fine but would not repurchase. It's extremely overpriced for what it is ($173CDN) and at that pricepoint I expect a light-safe bottle. 
Shiseido Cotton 
May Lindstrom Honey Mud - I don't like the film this leaves
Briogeo Don't Despair Repair Mask
Odacite A Winter in Paris - also works fine, but I prefer Summer in Hossegor
Odacite An Autumn on the World - also works fine, but I prefer Summer in Hossegor
Rahua Treatment Mask
Body Shop Chocolicious Body Butter

Spoiler

Tata Harper Honey Blossom Mask - this literally did nothing for me and was harder to multi-mask with than the original. 
COR Silver Soap - gimmick
Farmacy Lip Bloom Ginger - tasted bad
Marc Jacobs Coconut Primer - did not prevent oily lid creases

[katkapivarci]

@Mochapj Shiseido cotton is the best🙌🏻  What do you think about The Ordinary? 

[Mochapj]

@katkapivarciI think they make some good products and some meh products. I've posted mini reviews of all the ones I've tried over here - https://community.sephora.com/t5/Brand-Loyal/THE-DECIEM-THREAD/m-p/2729996

As for this particular product - it did work well and I have repurchased although it has a weird foamy texture.

[heartsmyface]

@Mochapj  Is it the ginger flavour you don't like or does it have a plasticy flavour? 

[Mochapj]

@heartsmyface It's the ginger flavour; something about it always tasted a bit burnt and reminded me of cigarettes
