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.

@MachynesSister  How did you like the Tiny Moly egg?  I've been wondering about those

[MachynesSister]

I love it @deathkitty! It minimizes pores and leaves my skin silky smooth. I found out the hard way you have to keep the inner lid, otherwise it dries into a crumbly mess.

[deathkitty]

Sweet! Thanx @MachynesSister, I'm totally gonna pick one of those up.

[Lazybeautybeast]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a pile of half used products. lol

[MachynesSister]

You're definitely not alone @Lazybeautybeast! I challenged myself in August not to open any full-sized products unless I've finished one of the same type, and it's been SO hard!

[deathkitty]

OMG, this has given me a new goal! I have started saving my empties, but the collection is pretty paltry for now.  I'll post when I get a nice little stash saved up 🙂

[KNC24]

@deathkitty and @Lazybeautybeast I started saving my empties too. My stash is small but it makes me use my samples instead of hoarding them.

[Lazybeautybeast]

Isn't it fun? @deathkitty I've been doing it since last month and it has helped me start using up products because I want to post them. lol. It gives me a sense of accomplishment.

[deathkitty]

Lol, it does give a strange sense of accomplishment. I've had to stop myself several times from tossing stuff in the garbage,  or fish stuff back out 🤣) but I'm doing it!

October empties! 🖤👻 I also had a decluttering session to get rid of expired products. If there’s anything you can’t make out in the pictures, I can tell you what it is.

[bakeamuffin]

So clever! I love that you can go back to remember what worked for you and what didn’t!

Living Proof Phd Dry Shampoo
Soap and Glory Heel Genius - this is a gel, lightweight and nice but sometimes I prefer something a bit thicker

Kate Somerville Moisturizers: Oil Free and Nourish
Kate Somerville Eradikate - great to put on spots overnight to shrink and dry them out.
Make Up For Ever Smoothing Primer
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Rosegold
Stella McCartney POP Perfume - heard someone say this smells like Barbie's plastic shoes and there is no better explanation than that lol
Murad Time Release Cleanser - I really did enjoy this, couldn't say it's a love but I need to try more of this for sure.
Fenty Soft Matte Primer - pairs perfectly with the Fenty foundation and makes it last all day. Didn't wow me with any other foundation I tried it with though
Kate Somerville Eradikate Cleanser

Spoiler

Clinique Mild Facial Soap
Ro's Argan Gourmet Soap - I LOVE this scent but it was so pricey for such a tiny bar ($8 for a bar that lasted maybe 8 uses). It was a jelly consistency which was nice but I cannot justify the price.
Kate Somerville Glow Moisturizer
Kat Von D Ink Liner - this is a stiff liner and is different than the tattoo liner which I love.
Bobbi Brown Remedies Calming - this felt nice but had a strange medicial scent

Pureology Perfect 4 Platinum Shampoo and Conditioner
Biolage Matcha Texturizing Spray
BBW Mango Mandarin Lotion

Spoiler

Swan Nail Polish Remover - not sure where I even got this lol but it was very drying. I am spoiled with my Zoya nail polish remover which is totally worth the $10.
NARS Liquid Blush in Orgasm - way too pink for me and I just do not like cream blush
Black Up Mattifying Primer - felt exactly like the Smashbox Photofinish primer - very silicone-y
YES to Tomatoes Detox Charcoal Wipes - these were very dry and tugged on the skin
Eva NYC Freshen Up Dry Shampoo

My empties bag was full again. Last time I did empties was 8/6 so it took me approximately 2.5 months to fill up the bag. 

[Natx2]

What is an emptys bag?

[katkapivarci]

@Natx2 It’s just a designated bag where I put all my used/empty products and when it’s full I post the content here😊

@MaryMadeup

Can I ask for your opinion on some of the products you used? o: Specifically the It bye bye pores, the Murad cleanser, and the Tarte gifted mascara

[MaryMadeup]

@KaitTheKatfish Sure! I really enjoyed the It Bye Bye powder because it kept me matte the whole day and helped my foundation not to oxidize. I also found it a good match for my fair skintone. I love the Murad cleanser because it removes makeup (even waterproof mascara) and doesn't irritate my eyes or dry out my skin. It also works well with the Clarisonic. 

I HATED the Tarte mascara. It's a very dry formula, and I only got a few uses out of it before it got too dry for my taste. It also flaked probably because of the dry formula, and it really did nothing for my lashes. 

Hope I helped!

[KaitTheKatfish]

@MaryMadeup(sorry for the late reply) thanks for all the info! I've been thinking about trying the bye bye pores and the murad cleanser, so your information was super helpful! I actually have the tarte mascara myself but I haven't used it much yet- I'm sorry to hear it was dry DD:
