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]

That makes me feel less guilty for throwing it out @fieldsofclover. I hate wasting perfectly good stuff, but I couldn't give it away or try it knowing that a lot of people reacted badly to it.

[Lazybeautybeast]

@MachynesSister I would recommend maybe doing a patch test with some of the gel from the lip mask first since you have sensitive lips. There is a possibility that I have an allergy to something in it as well. But there were quite a few comments on the Boxycharm fb page from people who had the same issue. 😕 My lips have been really dry lately but it was just not a pleasant experience for me. As for the HUM, I don't know that I have seen a difference from the vitamins yet but it can a few months for that. I'm going to order some more and keep trying (I'm kicking myself for not ordering from HUM direct on black Friday). The only difference I have noticed so far is that they don't upset my stomach as much as others.

Just a few more empties from November.

[KNC24]

My husband threw away my empties trying to be helpful. I couldn't be mad at him. I tried to explain why I was saving them. He said those ladies don't wanna see empty products. They wanna see brand new things. Lol.

[Seymore3]

October and November empties.

Spoiler

Farmacy Honey Drop Moisturizer - very lightweight not much hydration even for my combo skin
Clinique Pep Start Exfoliating Cleanser
Strivectin Intensive Concentrate for Wrinkles and Stretch Marks
NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint in St. Moritz - nice and lightweight but has no grip or staing power and literally wipes away if you touch your face at all
NARS All Day Luminous Foundation in Santa Fe
Victoria's Secret Love Spell - nearly no staying power. This is old. So maybe that's why. lol
Smashbox Photofinish Pore Minimizing - balled up and was too thick. 
Living Proof Timeless pre-shampoo treatment - I didn't really understand this product. It was a hassle and extra step that didn't produce any results
Tarte Clean Queen - nice for a vegan deodorant but I prefer DOVE.
Spongeable - was too harsh and scratchy on the body and the shower gel that was supposed to last 30?+ washes definitely lasted maybe 10.

All my November empties. RIP to the Benefit Gimme Brow, I just discovered it and now it’s discontinued 😩

[suzyo]

Is it really discontinued or is it just unavailable due to the recall?

[cindyvonlovely]

I’ve read that Benefit is discontinuing it completely. I don’t know if that’s changed or not. @suzyo

[Susubee]

I thought it was just recalled. I read in another thread that it would be back mid-January, but I don't know how accurate that is. *ps, I luv your Pibble!!! Dis is mine:

[fieldsofclover]

@Susubee aaaaa your dog is adorbababble 😍

[suzyo]

@Susubee What a cutie!

[MachynesSister]

So cute @Susubee! They make the best pouty faces!

[karap03]

what! I didnt know it was discontinued 😞

[Susubee]

I know! I got my gimme brow sample, tried it, immediately wanted more... only to discover I couldn't get it anymore anywhere 😩. If you're looking for a replacement, I got the Glossier Boy Brow earlier this week, and so far it's working fabulously!

[cindyvonlovely]

Good to know! Thanks for the heads up @Susubee

I'm cleaning house today so need to post my empties from the first half (ish) of November so I can toss them. I finished off a lot of stuff mostly samples and Dash. I'm trying to get through my foils so I tried lots of new things. I really liked the both the glow recipe and laneige sleeping masks. Also the Becca backlight primer, Bye Bye lines serum from It Cosmetics, the MUFE foundation, Egg Mellow Cream, and Beauty Balm stood out...I could see myself getting these again. My beauty blender that is a year ish old didn't make it through the last wash, so it was time to say goodbye to it. If anyone sees something they want input on, let me know. There is a lot there so I'm not going to list it all. There are a few things that I definitely wouldn't get again.

[WhereYouStand]

hi lazybeautybeast I am kinda curious about the Jurlique bottle in your collection it the the rose toning mist and if so what your thoughts are on it. I think I have one in  my collection somewhere and haven't tried it yet. 

[Bermanbeauty27]

I actually still have it I’ve had it since about March or April but I have switched to the Sunday Riley
