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.

August empties

August empties!! Top: Loves: Dior is my hg mascara. The covergirl lashblast luxe has a pretty shimmer to it for nights out, and I like the full silicone bristle brush. Mary Kay eye makeup remover did a good job removing stubborn waterproof makeup. Laguna is good for contouring and doesn't pull muddy or orange on my fair skin. Mom Guerlain was a lovely but not overpowering sensual floral but not overpowering for work. The hask Greek yogurt hair mask smelled amazing and left my hair so soft. The agave oil also left my hair feeling very soft. The sally Hansen quick dry top coat does make nails dry very fast, but I wish itprevented chips better. Still would rebuy. The Sephora nail polish was a pretty coral red that got a ton of compliments but isn't made anymore since it was from the opi collection. And the purple nail polish was some no name brand but it was nice for fall. Bottom: wouldn't rebuy: tonymoly aloe mask didn't do much to moisturize my skin. I liked the gel texture of the leaders balance mask but it didn't help my acne or oily skin or redness. Hoola was too oily for my oily skin and emphasizes pores while separating. Klorane pomegranate conditioner smelled good but did not extend the life of my highlights. Neither did the L'Oréal creme conditioner, although it left hair very soft. Duwop lash venom didn't impress me. Sunday Riley didn't seem to do anything for my skin either. The clarifying wipes from formula 10 were dry and didn't remove makeup great nor did they clarify my acne. Dphue color gloss did not impart color or gloss, even when using overnight.

[blackkitty2014]

Lots of empties this month. I'm so proud of myself:)

The bad: Claudalie and Fresh lip balm. Cladalie should change the package for that one. The product is not bad but the spray is horrible. Same thing with Fresh. I don't want the lip balm to stuck under my nails and the smear it over my lips. Nope!

The Ugly: I hate that Tom Ford primer with passion lol. Tatcha mask and Fresh mask are just messy. 

The Good: everything else is either love or like. Need to mention: I finished the Fresh soft cream and fill it up with 2 card samples I got and then finished it again. 😉

Not in the picture: I finished around 25-30 shampoo-conditioner foiled sets. Yoo-hoo!

[BeautybyJules]

what did you think of the glam glow mask and the two tatcha products?

[blackkitty2014]

Sorry @BeautybyJules I didn’t see your post until now. I like that GlamGlow brightening mask but I think their best product is super mud mask (the white bottle). I just finished a giant tube (will post pictures of my empty soon). Tatcha is hits and misses for me. I like the water cream but dislike the mask (the purple bottle). I’m doing good with skincares but not soo good in makeup department 😂 I hoard so much that I doubt I would finish anything 

[BeautybyJules]

It's totally fine! Since following these posts I've been trying to start my own empties pile. I've been storing them in an empty play box until I feel like I have enough. So far ive tried the gravity mud and the super clearing mud from glam glow and now Im addicted to peeling masks. I haven't tried anything from tatcha yet because of the price. I'll have to keep my eye out for a good value set or small point reward to try the water cream at least

[BeautybyJules]

that is dedication! I'm a goo hoarder. even if I hate it I can't make myself throw it out. I end up making myself use it all up which takes forever! I hope to someday get to the bottom of that many containers. excellent job

@Mochapj ooh, what are your thoughts on the DDG extra strength pads? And what didn't you like about the Tata Harper clarifying mask?

[Mochapj]

@Saschattack oh, I could write a novel about that Clarifying Mask, LOL 😄 

The short version is that from the moment you open the jar it reeks like burnt rubber (and continues to stink the whole time you have it on your face) and after removing it, I didn't notice any appreciable difference. 

As for the DDG pads, my skin doesn't tolerate any of them well if I use them with any sort of regularity (except the ultra gentle ones), so I can only get away with using them 1-2x a month. I think I'm in the minority though, as I believe quite a few people on BT that are fans use them consistently without issue.

[Saschattack]

Thanks for the input! I have a deluxe sample of that mask that I haven't used yet, so I'm very interested in if people like it or not.

Summer 2017 Empties!

Here are all of my empties from June, July, and August.

I cannot believe it is almost FALL!

Loves (would repurchase)

Likes (enjoyed using, might repurchase)

 

So-so (truly just used it to finish it up)

 

& here's the candles I have finished up

[gonerogue]

My first time participating in this thread because I happened to finish all of these on the same day so I snapped a pic before I tossed them! No complaints on anything, loved everything! In fact, most of these products I would consider HG status for me 🙂

[darkiceis]

@gonerogue Lots of good stuff, the korres oil is pretty good and those Sephora wipes are bomb.

what do you think if the good genes? I just attend using it and I think that I like it. 

[gonerogue]

@darkiceis I have mixed feelings about Good Genes. I used to use it every night after Luna and I didn't think it was helping my skin. I cut back to using them every other night and saw major improvements BUT every time I used Good Genes on my forehead, it made me break out in big, weird pimples. I started using it only in the lower half of my face and it's not breaking me out there so...that's where I currently stand with it lol I do like it but not sure if I should be shelling out the money for it (I own the big bottle) if I can't use it everywhere.

[darkiceis]

@gonerogue  That's strange that it has that effect on your forehead.  Less use might be more for this product if you're seeing an improvement that way. I've been using it every night for just over a week and it seems ok, I guess i'll keep an eye on it just in case my skin reacts funky to it.

[Mcakes]

I've had the Korres Oil in my loves list for the longest time! I need to get it when the next good promo or sale comes around 🙂 

[xxsour]

@Mcakes gilt city has 30% off korres vouchers right now 🤑

[gonerogue]

@Mcakes Maybe a nice Rouge promo code will help you pull that plug? *hoping someone is reading this and will release a good promo soon* 😉
