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.

Thanks @juliehnguyen! Hair sleeping hair mask is nice. It made my hair feel silky. I want to try it again at home. My scalp has been having issues since I used it but I suspect it was actually the water where I was staying because I've had the issue before.

Thanks for the mini review @Lazybeautybeast! And, I also believe that one of the main factor that causes hair to change is the water. Whenever I travel, my hair either dries up from the water or gets slightly wavy (if it is a really humid place).

Likes may use samples but may not purchase

Likes but need further investigation

Nooooooo.

Too old.

Thanks @sister13, @Fernleaf, & @fieldsofclover for the motivating words. It's kind of backfiring though....I'm finding new loves when I use stuff and adding to my list to buy instead of shopping thru my stash/burning thru foils. 😉

[Fernleaf]

Great job cleaning town, @sonnydee!  This is pure GOALS!! I need to do this and I think you just motivated me to do this this week!! Thank you!  You did such a great job and I love how much you worked through.

[sister13]

Great empties and foils! @sonnydee

[fieldsofclover]

@sonnydee Hahaha yep those Milk makeup remover wipes are beyond worthless, agreed!

Well done on burning through all those samples!

It’s exciting and sad to go through products...time to restock! 

I surprisingly loved/liked all of these. 

The body scrub is amazing!! I wish it was cheaper because I never want to be without it. 

Nars-the eyeshadow primer is amazing too. Finally a primer that doesn’t give me an allergic reaction. This mini lasted me YEARS! I’m impressed it never went bad and lasted so long. 

The shampoo was nice, but not amazing. It did keep my hair nice and clean but didn’t help with moisturizing. I didn’t see any “repair” work benefits 

[sister13]

NARS eye primer, my HG! Nothing compares! I had two minis that also lasted me years, finally one became an empty and one still for travel and I finally purchased a full size, which I may pass on to any future grandchildren, lol. Did you pull out the inner ring to get the last specks out? That gives another million uses! @pinyo

[pinyo]

@sister13 I wish I thought of that before I tossed it! I just assumed since it was pretty barebones empty and I assumed more than expired, I should toss it. Now I know to do that in another 2 years! Btw, do you know if they sell minis/sample sizes? I’m hesitant to get it from eBay in case it’s old 

[sister13]

Haha, in another two years! I haven’t seen it sold, only in the GWPs, I think so far. I’m always keeping an eye out for them, but haven’t seen any recently. @pinyo

[kelloua]

I liked that scrub too.  Did you get it from that crazy sale last year (Today Show?  I forget what.)?

[pinyo]

Yes I did! I bought it on a whim since I read good reviews and I absolutely love it!! @kelloua, I really hope that sale comes back haha. Wishful thinking.

This empties post is long overdue.  My bag kept building up and up...and then my dad stayed and, trying to be helpful, thought one bag was trash.  So he pitched it.  This year I do want to get back to doing this on a monthly basis because there is something REALLY satisfying about seeing how much you get through.

[sister13]

Wow! @kelloua

[pinyo]

Wow @kelloua, I’m so impressed! How long did it take you to get through that? 

[kelloua]

These have been building up for a year but were probably 1/2 of the total stash.  The bag my dad tossed was as big if not bigger.

This facial cleanser lasted me over a year.  Granted I started using it as a hand soap in the past 1-2 months as I stopped using it on my face.  I also finished La Roche Posay's Substiane Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream (stock photo as I threw away the container before taking a pic.  This also took me about a year to finish - granted I dabbled with other sample eye creams).  

[b3autygrl]

I may repurchase Cetaphil but as a hand soap (not for my face).  I tend to get eczema on my hands and I do like how my hands feel after using this.  In regards to the face, initially I did like it as it is very gentle but as time went on it felt like I had a film on my face so that's why I started using it as a hand soap.  On the La Roche Posay, I'm on the fence on whether or not I'll repurchase.  It is one of the most hydrating eye creams I've used and I've tried a ton (very high end ones from Sephora) and I always seemed to go back to this one.  The price is reasonable but I'm hoping that I'll find my "holy grail" eye cream which is not only super hydrating but that it will also help diminish fine lines and help lighting up my under eye area. Currently I'm using Kate Sommerville's Wrinkle Warrior serum (deluxe sample) which doesn't seem to be doing anything and then I top it off with Caudalie's VineActiv Energizing and Smoothing Eye cream (it's OK, not as moisturizing as La Roche Posay's Substiane Eye cream)

I don’t know 🤷🏾‍♀️ how to fix the pic.

I am so extremely late and far behind on my empties, I never got around to posting my December empties, so here it is! ❤️
