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.

@sparklekai

 I also don't like the scent of the Bum Bum cream.

@sparklekai, how would you describe the Mac lavender scent in the Prep + Prime? I need to pick up another and want to try a different scent (I have Rose right now and am interested in the original which I guess is herbal, and the lavender one). Thanks and just be happy you don't care for the Bum Bum scent - that cream is not cheap 😉

[sparklekai]

@eshoe i personally don't know that i would repurchase the lavender scent.  not because there is anything wrong with it but because my brain associates it with the lavender spray we used as "sleep spray" for my son.  i smell it and i want to curl up and sleep :).  the scent is a soft lavender you can smell it but its not overly medicinal or strong

[eshoe]

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, @sparklekai! I will probably try out the Original scent then☺️

So many empties for one month, @karap03! That's awesome. Love the MJ gloss 🙂

Weekly empties.

Some new ones in the mix - first time I have tried the Sephora eye masks and LOVED both of them. Can't seem to locate another Orchid one, though, which is a shame because they have a great shape and feel. @itsfi sent me the Whole Foods mask which is amazing. Good thing I don't live near any of their stores! The fresh 30-second mask is fantastic and I have used it a couple of times now when morning plans change and I need to be somewhere sooner than I planned. I have 2 more DS of the La La from the Rewards Bazaar earlier this year, yay!

Good

Good but I don't plan to repurchase any of these. I wanted to give the Piña Colada a second chance and I just wasn't wild about it. The Ariul Juice cleanse mask is ok but had a bit of an artificial scent that I didn't care for too much. I have quite a few extras of the eye gels. For some reason, not sure if they changed the formula or the material, but they itch a bit instead of being totally comfortable. I did use one under a bio-cellulose mask last night and that helped, so maybe they are just too dry. At any rate, I like how they make my eyes look so I will use up what I have.

No thank you!

These sheet masks. The Saturday Skin wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good, either. The Betterskin was the first bio-cellulose mask I didn't love or even like; 's experience described it perfectly and I agree! The 23 Years mask was interesting. No mouth hole, barely a slit for the nose, and enough at the bottom to cover half of my neck. It also had a vintage soapy-rose scent. It came in a three pack and I am debating whether or not to brave out the other two. I did cut out an area for my mouth and adjusted the nose as well, but it was just weird.

The eye makeup remover pads seem to be consistently dry. So I need to find something to replace these.

@eshoe  I have that aqua face mask and shall try today. Thank you 😊

Biolage I think I would have liked if I used half of the sample. It’s the only hair sample I’ve gotten where there was too much for one use. It made my hair too oily. 
Moraccan oil as said already smells horrible. It also didn’t help my hair in any way  
BB I would have to try again to decide.  Not good, not bad 
Exuviance made my skin feel great the next day  It was soft and less red 
Too faced shadow Insurance is now going to replace UD for me. No creasing at all even for today when I had it on 5:15am -8:45pm 😁

[eshoe]

Wow you found a replacement for a favorite this week, @Indy701! I remember a Sephora employee making a sample of that for me years ago, and I was totally impressed. Didn’t buy it bc I thought, ‘how superfluous that someone would buy something to apply UNDER shdow to keep it in place!’ Ha now I am 1000 times worse. Lesson learned!

[Indy701]

@eshoe  I was the same about primer at first.  I thought I was okay without but then I tried it and was amazed. 

Due to a string of cancelled and delayed flights yesterday, I got to try TF from 5:30am CT yesterday to 1:45am ET  this morning and it had just a tiny bit of creasing so I remain impressed. It is really replacing UD now. I was exhausted but my eyeshadow was not. 

[eshoe]

That is seriously impressive, @Indy701! I am going to have to dig into my stash to see if I have some to try again. Awesome discovery:)

Running out of drawer space!! Can’t wait till next week to post! So far this month, I have loved all my sheet masks except the Betterskin and the London Shopper. Both left my skin feeling super sticky and tacky. Everything else was awesome!!!

[eshoe]

@KrishAtl did you pick up any extra of the Oerbeau during the B2G2 sale? Such a great mask and so inexpensive!!!

[KrishAtl]

No I didn’t @Anonymouse.  I have sooo many sheet masks at this point and subscribe to 2 masking boxes a month, so had to “slap my hands” a bit and not fall into the extra spend trap!  I keep a running list of the ones I love so that when the time comes to buy more, I will know what to repurchase.  I think I am waiting for holiday sales to splurge and put some items from Santa under the tree for me!!!

All ❤️

@jen81 What did you think of the Fresh eye cream?  I've heard mixed reviews on it but I've thought about trying it out.  

[jen81]

@CookieGirl1 I like how thick and hydrating it is. Good for dry skin.

[Indy701]

@jen81 What did you think of the lash serum?  I have one but am a bit afraid to use it. 

[jen81]

@Indy701 I was pretty skeptical at first. My lashes are decent to begin with but I did notice a difference . I’m trying out No 7 lash serum because I don’t want to spend that much if I can help it. Been using for about 2 weeks and so far so good.
