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.

...and this is exactly how I feel about the Laneige Sleeping Mask @RGbrown.

@eshoeUnidentified

Hahaha, yeah, I'm a heretic for all sorts of dislikes. 😋 Shiseido cotton, sheet masks in general, Laneige lip mask, Watermelon Glow Sleeping mask, and on and on. I should stop now before the hoards decide to hunt me down with pitchforks 😂

I think I’ll try the mini size of the NoPoo @ShortErica before committing to the full size one!

@RGbrown What didn't you like about the Farmacy, if you don't mind me asking? I just bought one ahhh

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk

oh no! Well, maybe not oh no...some folks love it 😛

I find it to be too thin in consistency, and it disappears off my lips in a flash. I also hate lip stuff in a pot (though I do appreciate that they at least made the pot wide instead of deep).

I am also completely baffled about how I can try and try and try to keep it clean, and yet somehow every time I opened it, the lid was full of cat hair. I dunno how that happens... 😛

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Ahh darn I really need something moisturizing, thanks for the info! I hate lip stuff in pots as well, but I had high hopes.

Hahaha the cat hair!

@ohheyitscindyk

My current "I swear by this stuff" is Skyn Iceland's Lip Fix. It's really thick and creamy, almost solid (it's a squeeze tube, and almost too thick to squeeze out lol), like a really rich body butter. The Clarins lip oil hasn't been quite enough on its own for me lately, so I'm treating my lips like the rest of my skin now...I use the Skyn Iceland as my "moisturizer", then seal it in with the Clarins oil. This combo has been magic! I only do this once a day, right before bed, but it has made a huge difference for me. During the day, I use whatever other cheaper stuff I have laying around...like the Farmacy or Burts Bees etc.

How have you been liking the Clarins, or have you used it yet? You got one, right, or have I misremembered?

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown You remember correctly, but admittedly, I've only used the Clarins a few times. Like you said, it hasn't been enough recently, so I haven't been using it. Ahh I actually just bought the Skyn Iceland Lip Fix, but I haven't tried it- what a genius idea, using them together! I would have never thought to do that haha thank you!!

@ohheyitscindyk0

I dunno about where you're at, but this winter has been pretty brutal already (at least as far as Southern winters get), and my lips are really feeling it. I hope this combo works for you too 😄

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown I'm in the Midwest & we've gotten way more snow than usual so far. We didn't really have a fall to get used to the dropping temperatures.

[KaitTheKatfish]

This is from a stash of more than just a month, but I'm going to try to start doing it once monthly!

Loves:

Good:Just okay or undecided:Didn't work for me 😞 

[sonnydee]

Why didn't you like the TF melt? @KaitTheKatfish I have 2 of those biobelle masks on order, the glam & after party. Happy the hum z's are a love for some people. 

[KaitTheKatfish]

 @sonnydee so my reason for not liking the Too Faced melt is going to be a bit odd but, basically I carry this particular bacteria in my eyes (I have to use an anti-bacterial on my eyes every night to help keep the population in check) and there are some products I find that help stimulate that growth, which is bad. So the mascara meltoff works fine for removing mascara, but for me it basically acted as like a culture for this bacteria breeding. The first few days of a new bottle would be fine, but then using it would start to cause an overgrowth and my eyes would get itchy and red. So like I said, a bit odd and definitely very personalized issue with it xD
As for the Biobelle masks, the After Party I probably would have put up in loves but I was running out of room in the pic, and I did only get to try it once. I have some more to try again though, but it really helped calm and soothe my skin when it was going through a major irritation. The Glam I don't know about because I'm not actually the one who used it, we did masks together and they chose that one. They liked it though, said it was very refreshing when it came off and their skin felt really soft

[sonnydee]

Yea @KaitTheKatfish that's understandable. One day, I couldn't get my mascara off, if my life depended on it. I used a sample of this & it took it all off! I was so impressed! I'm sad for you. I think I would have to get a bottle & get those disposable wands to use- when I'm desperate ya know. 

[KaitTheKatfish]

@sonnydee Ooh, that might be an option with the disposable wands but I think it was growing in the product itself, also I have one of those "as little waste as possible" preferences so using new wands all the time would bother me. What I use to get my mascara off is Farmacy's Green Clean makeup remover, it takes everyyyything off and you need so little of it, and then I wipe it all away with a makeup eraser and voila! c:

Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm 3.4 oz/ 100 mL

[sonnydee]

It smells just like green sorbert, to me. I love that stuff! @KaitTheKatfish

[PenelopeBT]

@KaitTheKatfish I love the Hum gummies. They taste delicious and keep my hair healthy. I'm also a sucker for beautifully packaged sheet masks. 

<3333

[KaitTheKatfish]

@PenelopeBT  I liked them too! Just in a house with 3 women they ran out really fast xD I would like to try more though! It's encouraging to hear you're seeing results from them c:

[eshoe]

I am all with you on the undecideds, @KaitTheKatfish.

Got sooo off track trying to save monthly empties and only posting 1xmonth that I had a drawer full of several months worth of empties, got totally confused by the mess, threw it all out, and decided to post things as I am finishing with them!!! Wayyy less confusing for moi! So I am totally sad about the Ole Henriksen walnut scrub finishing. This was by far my favorite scrub I have ever used! Buying again, ASAP!! The Foodaholic mask was great, but not mind-blowing. It did the job, my skin is hydrated and back on track after a crazy holiday party weekend...it begins! It smelled nice, but wasn’t thrilled about the fit of it. The sheet was super thick cotton and the serum was not drippy, which made it easy to wear and still got some light paperwork done. But the mouthhole was awkward so I couldn’t talk the entire time it was on.

[faeriegirl]

OH walnut scrub is definitely the best I’ve used too @KrishAtl!
