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.

It's been awhile since my empties bag was full, definitely need to step it up in 2018

LOVES:

Spoiler

-Bath & Body Works shower gels, all of which are scents I love that they have long since discontinued, le sigh
-Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion, a staple
-Lancome Genifique serum
-YSL Black Opium
-NYX Drop Foundation, surprising love
-ColourPop Too Lips, a favorite but this one expired
-Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer
-Josie Maran Skin Finisher, great base, particularly when I get the occasional dry patch.

No complete fails, fortunately.  All other items were OK but didn't seem to do anything special.

How did you like Good Genes @WhereYouStand?

[WhereYouStand]

hi bakeamuffin! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Sunday Riley good genes! it's officially in my skincare regiment permanently now. 🙂 I really wish it was cheaper as I am already three fourths through a second bottle of good genes as we speak. which will likely be showing up in my next empties photo.

Here are my empties for November 2017. Really good mix of product types this month. 

Love it (definitely will repurchase):

Just ok:

Disliked it (definitely will not repurchase):

[oceanics]

November empties had a good mix of foil and deluxe size samples. I’ve made good progress through the foil samples that I’ve accumulated but I’m still working my way through a bin of deluxe samples. It doesn’t help that I fall for the promos with those cute minis all the time😅LovesLikesNopes

[juliehnguyen]

I bet your hair is so healthy and smooth right now @oceanics!

[oceanics]

I have coloured hair and the Caviar shampoo/conditioner has done such a wonderful job at keeping it soft and manageable @juliehnguye.

My November empties!

Macadamia Professionals Weightless Moisture Shampoo
Lush Lemony Flutter- I used this as a hand cream at night. You need the tiniest amount and it smells like candied lemons. I don't like lemon scents, but I like how this smells.
Philosophy Purity Made Simple- I've been using this daily (a.m.) for about 10 years now. It's not drying and doesn't bother my skin.
Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream- I've gone through a few jars of these. It's Lightweight moisture but I'm trying something new so I haven't repurchased this yet.
Lush African Paradise Body Conditioner- This is really moisturizing and has a light powder scent that doesn't interfere with perfume. I'm bummed it's being discontinued, this is what I use when I'm out of Snow Fairy.
Shiseido Facial Cotton- Soft, and doesn't fall apart. These are the only cottons I use on my face.
Too Cool For School Egg Cream Mask- One of my favorite masks, it's super hydrating.

Marc Jacobs Lip Gloss- I don't know what color this is, it's not labeled. My one gripe about this is how often I had to reapply it. I mean, I like to think I'm realistic and don't expect gloss to last through meals but sometimes I felt like 2 drinks of water and it's gone. It's sheer, not sticky, and fades gracefully though. I will use up the other minis I have but I'm not sure if I would invest in a full size or not.
Lush Pink Custard Shower Jelly- This smells good and foams up really well. I normally cut these up into small chunks but I think I'm gonna try my next one whole and see how I like it.

Skin Laundry Hydrating Mask- My skin reacted to this so I wouldn't try it again. It didn't seem to have enough serum either, when I took it off there wasn't much to be rubbed into the skin.
Origins Ginzing Eye Cream- Not moisturizing enough and it does nothing for puffiness like it claims.

[juliehnguyen]

Love the Egg Creme Mask and Shiseido cotton pads. ❤️ They have been such game-changers for me! And I'm probably the only person that has never tried Lush. I always pass by it in the mall but I never know what to get, especially because I don't like bath bombs (I had a terrible reaction to a bath bomb once and now I'm so scared to use them).

[suzyo]

@juliehnguyen I've actually never tried the bath bombs, because I have such a small tub. I mostly just use shower products by them, although I want to try more of their haircare. 

[LolliLove]

Not for me

Luckily, my son like the Unani cleanser and used it all. The Earth Tu Face was really greasy and the NYX primer was a crumbly mess.

Samples

All loves, except for the Becca blush--it was too bright on me.

Top row is likes, middle row is hates, and bottom row is ??? Everyone loves the watermelon sleeping mask, but it made me really, really flaky. The Honest primer smelled rancid, and the Dr Roebuck's wasn't even a little moisturizing, but still managed to be greasy af.

[Guessgal]

Buxom Full-on Lip Polish in Erin I think this is my first time completely finishing a lip gloss! This product got me hooked on the tingly sensation of Buxom lip plumpers. Will definitely get more shades!!

[CC3616]

My favorite part of trying to be more active on BIC again, saving my trash!

I started reacting to non-plain chapstick. The mask and serum were sticky.

[Lazybeautybeast]

Found a few more from November. I DO NOT recommend the lip mask. I got it from boxycharm and tried it last night. I had a bad reaction to it! Its supposed to stay on for 15-20 minutes...I lasted maybe 5 before I took it off. Even after I took it off, my lips burned and tingled and my face was hot and flush. I had to take an allergy pill to cut down on my pain. 😕 I will definitely being giving the rest of them away or throwing them out.

[sparklekai]

i saw a youtuber try the lip mask - cant remember who - & her reaction made me not even want to try it!

[MachynesSister]

Sorry about the lip mask @Lazybeautybeast! That makes me nervous to try it because I have super sensitive lips. It took me two weeks to recover from one minute of Too Faced Lip Injection! 

How did you like the Hum supplements?

[fieldsofclover]

( @MachynesSister I didn't like the lip mask either... it actually seemed drying to me and the reviews are not great. I don't think you're missing anything. )
