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.

Those pumpkin masks are on my favorites list because of how plump and healthy they make my skin look!  The only downer is that they're actually too saturated in serum and sometimes drip into my eyes.  I stock up on them every time I go to Korea or Japan cause they're cheaper there. @suzyo

@heartsmyface The only issue I have with them is the size of the eye hole, they're too small and cover my brows and everything! I have a habit of squeezing all sheet masks while taking them out of the package because I hate how drippy they all are. Then I use the leftover serum on as much of my body as I can cover. I typically can cover my whole body though.

@suzyo This is exactly why I'm not using sheet masks - I hate the wet,dripping feeling on my face. It never occurred to me to squeeze them out🤦🏼‍♀️I have to try it to see if I like it better that way! #mindblown 😂😂

I had a pretty good month getting through partially used products. 

LovesThe perfume between the Laneige serum and the Sephora rose mask is Nirvana Rose.

 Likes

Nope, nope, nope.

Foils. Loves on top, likes in the middle, nopes on the bottom.

I found that philosophy French vanilla bean starts to smell like plastic after a while.  Their other scents seem to be better.  I especially love how much they foam up in a bath!  @MachynesSister

[MachynesSister]

It definitely smelled "off" to me @heartsmyface. It was actually hard for me to use it all, and I normally love Philosophy products! But you're right, they do make for a nice bubble bath.

September empties! Some of the things that I really honestly disliked, I didn't even use up. I couldn't force myself to continue using these products. The things that I do love, are all past faves!

Does the sol de jeneiro cream actually work?

[cindyvonlovely]

Yes! It smells amazing and I definitely felt like my skin was softer and more firm. It had a glow to it, like a healthy skin glow. @StephanieDang

@condyvonlovely what jo malone scent was that

[cindyvonlovely]

I wanna say it was the English Pear scent, but I'm not entirely sure @KNC24

[heartsmyface]

I don't have any more room in my Empties bag so I have to post them now.  Here's August/September. Loves:Christophe robin hair scrub, dry bar hot toddy, glamglow, boire uv, touch in sol stretch mascara

Loves: bite lip wipes, briogeo conditioning mask.

That's a lot of foils 😮

[cindyvonlovely]

That's impressive! @heartsmyface

[heartsmyface]

Thanks.  I've been systematically working my way through things I was not too fond of and had shoved in the back of my cupboards at our last house.  A lot of it was half used to begin with so it looks like I used more than I did.  I am now starting to delve into products I actually like.  @cindyvonlovely

[ohheyitscindyk]

@heartsmyface WOW I love this- your empties are inspiring me to go through my stash. I want to have as many foil empties as you haha 😄

[heartsmyface]

Lol, the foils are easier than they look!  I just do a few days of using a sample from every category- wash, face cream, body lotion, shampoo etc... they add up really fast.  @ohheyitscindyk  It helps that they're right by my sink in the washroom so I don't forget to use them:)

July/August Empties:

Please feel free to ask any questions, I'm too tired to go into full reviews but maybe some stand outs. 

Loved, will or already have repurchased.

I'm still trying to figure out how much of the Alpha Skincare Body Lotion to use without it feeling heavy but it's a good body exfoliant. Second tube of the L'Oreal Brow Plumber, it's perfect for my dark eyebrows with my highlighted blonde hair. I really want to try the Boy Brow and see what the big fuss is about first.

Meeehh... izzzz alright, iz alright.I always have a lot of mehs for some reason. I just don't have strong feelings for any of these items. The Nars foundation, Drunk Elephant Eye Cream, L'Oreal Micellar water are good products, nothing amazing for me. I won't run out to buy them but they ended up in my collection somehow again, I would use them.  The Shikai Eye Cream sadly went bad, so I used it on my legs... I think I probably should buy it again to give it a fair chance but I'm going through a phase where I don't think eye creams are necessary. 

Not for me, pass.

I actually I used up a bronzer. This was Sunny Bunny from the Too Faced Bonjour Soleil palette... from 2014! I cannot believe it's been 3 years. It's a bit orangey on my complexion so that's why it is a pass. 

All of the things, looks like it was a good amount for the past two months! 

All of the makeup... being on a no buy and shopping my collection is really making me work through some items. I do have a teeeny bit of the NARS foundation in a smaller bottle. I really realize how fortunate I am to have a decent sized collection but I'm definitely falling in a rut with my makeup! I've even stopped wearing lipstick, I'm just bored with everything I have... I like using the items up but I want some new items. I'm tempted to break my no buy but I must resist. 😄 

[heartsmyface]

Ha, I have chocolate radar!!!   All I'm looking at is that yummy looking chocolate tart with what looks like a rum ball inside.  Annnnd this is why I'm not losing the baby weight.  @dziggi

[dziggi]

@heartsmyface Hehehe, so when I got that candle I was like "ohhh chocolate yes" then saw it was a candle. Disappointed.
