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.

2-3x a week is still pretty darn good as far as me-time sessions go!  

What I do as a reminder is put a sheet mask out by my skincare as i’m doing one.  I’d completely flake on myself if I didnt have a visual reminder.  @Mochapj

[Mochapj]

That's a good idea @heartsmyface thanks!

Right now I try to set them out in the morning next to my cleanser so at night I can't miss it, but sometimes I'm still too lazy to use the mask by the end of the day, LOL

[heartsmyface]

😂 too lazy to laze around in a mask... yeah i’ve been there.  I have the emergency bedside skincare consisting of makeup remover wipes, lip balm, and a sleeping mask just in case I have one of those nighttime sit downs on the bed and don’t wanna get up.  @Mochapj

[Mochapj]

LOL @heartsmyface - mostly it's that once I've washed my face I want to go to bed. With a sheet mask I have to get back up to take it off afterwards and finish the rest of my routine so that in itself becomes a deterrent.

[heartsmyface]

@Mochapj ha my nighttime ritual is not what it used to be with baby hearts’ demands on my time.  I’m happy just to be able to get half of it done most nights (but those bedside skincare items really are saviours;)   Sheet masks make me feel like I’m doing something good and I can do them in bed if I have to.

I'm glad you love your Farmacy sheet masks, @Mochapj!  I sheet mask about once a week.  I average once a week, but should do it more often, my skin loves it!

[Mochapj]

Thanks @curlychiquita ! I know what you mean, it’s hard to find the time to slap them on sometimes, isn’t it?

@Mochapj When I use a sheet mask, Farmacy are my favorites by far.  Actually a lot of your loves list are ones I've had good luck with.  I had a horrible rxn to that Primary Raw set though.  And I was struggling to figure out why because I have certainly used stronger peels.  You've motivated me to try something from my When stash.

[Mochapj]

Oof, that’s too bad about the reaction @Anonymous 🙁

i hope you like the When!

Hi @Mochapj,

Thanks for sharing! I just finished my Shiseido Facial Cottons too! Last month was my first time trying them and I'm now obsessed. They are sooo soft! 🙂

Best Regards,

❤️ Raquel 

[Mochapj]

Thanks @RaquelBT !

the feel of them is lovely, isn’t it?

[Guessgal]

@Mochapj I didn’t know Farmacy had sheet masks, since I’ve only bought their lip balms/salves. Thanks for your reviews! I think I will pick up their brightening mask 😊

[Mochapj]

@Guessgal I hope you like them! The Brightening mask is my HG sheet mask - I stock up on them whenever Farmacy or Sephora has a sale. 

They used to have a ton of extra serum in the pouches, so that you could keep using it for nearly a week afterwards but in the last year and a half they've cut that down a bit (although there's still plenty!)

Here are my products empties for Jan/Feb! B&BB Sparking Limoncello Fine Fragrance Mist- I really really like this one the smell was AMAZING and will definitely repurchase. B&BB Seaside Breeze Fine Fragrance Mist- I liked it but was a bit strong at times. B&BB Summer Marshmallow shower gel- This is one the best smelling items I’ve ever used, but this dried my skin out sooo much to the point where I stoped using it for a while. Classic Coca Butter deodorant from Secret- it smelled really good, idk if it’s weird to put this on here, but it’s a product and it’s empty! Clearasil 5 in 1 pads- I LOVE THESE! I can’t even say how many times I’ve repurchased this! It’s helped with my pores and pimples. I’ve tried so many products from this brand and love almost every single product. C&C Oil Absorbing Sheets-These are really good and I’m a fan of the price. The liquid cleanser from Beauty Blender- This did a great job cleaning my brushes and sponges but I like the Sephora Collection one better and I think it’s also cheaper. Covergirl gloss ( not sure of the actual name) It made my lips look super glossy but tasted weird. Clinique pep-start Mask- it bubbles when you put it on and it feels really cool! UD All Nighter Setting Spray- I’ve used this before and love it, it last me a full day of school, an hour of working out, and two hours of tennis every day. Already bought the full size. Bite Beauty agave lip mask- I liked the champagne colored on and the red one much better than the clear one- they all smell and taste like vanilla, which is one of my favorite scents! Note sure how much it did to not make my lips so chapped. FAB Ultra Repair Cream- the first couple of uses I liked this and then it made me oily and dried up my T-zone. Finally, the tarteist lip paint in FOMO- I absolutely love this color but it kind of dried my lips out- I don’t wear liquid lips enough to the point where I would get the full size. Sorry for the big paragraph(s) but I wanted to try to give a good review.

[curlychiquita]

Thanks for the great reviews,  @Caroline0816!  I don't like the FAB Ultra Repair Cream or Tarte lip paints for the same reasons you mention! I gave my FAB cream to my husband, who has excema, and he loved it.

[heartsmyface]

It was another successful month as far as empties go.  Things I am running out to repurchase?  The cocktail velvet petit mask, the tatcha water cream, and the Estée Lauder advanced night repair eye complex.  Everything else fell into  « I like you but I’m ready to see other products »

@heartsmyface, that's a great set of empties for February!  I spy all of your masks from the Mask Challenge thread.  I need to use up 6 more sheet masks, and then I can actually go out and buy more during the April sale!

[heartsmyface]

@curlychiquita Ha, I slacked on my mask a day mission for February. By slacked I mean I had so little time for myself.  I’ll be better for March.  My February mask maven subscription just arrived today so i’m feeling newly inspired to continue on.  

Six masks should be easy enough.
