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.

@RGbrown I feel like the Clarisonic Deep Pore brush head is too scratchy right now for me, too. I've been wanting to try the Radiance brush head 🙂

@ohheyitscindyk 

The Radiance head is sooooo nice! It's much softer, like fluffy velvet 😄

January empties! A good month!! I started using color codes to track theareas I’m using in most skincare =red, hair care = royal blue, body care = black, oral care = green, makeup = purple, nail care = light blue, fragrance = middle color blue! I use the most skincare! Faves were body shop tea tree toner, UD makeup meltdown remover stick, YTTP goji oil, caudalie foaming cleanser, all the PTR masks!!!, Josie maran face butter, and Clinique pep start 2 in 1 cleanser although I haven’t repurchased any due to low buy/stock pile usage! Actually I did get another PTR cucumber mask in a reward ☺️

27 full sized is amazing, @SAlyFitz! Way to shop your stash!

To repurchase/purchase immediately

Curious about the wander mascara, what didn’t you like about it?

[heartsmyface]

It is super black but also very dry and leaves little chunks on your lashes.  I also had some flaking.  Nothing serious but here are too many mascaras out there to be dealing with flaking. @melash 

[Mcakes]

Oh man that's a bummer it didn't work for you @heartsmyface ! I love this one. Got it twice in subs so far lol 😄

[heartsmyface]

Well, if I ever get it again i know which way to send it now! 😄 @Mcakes 

I do love Wanders foundation stick.  It’s beautiful and thick for full coverage days.  It’ll be in my empties soon enough:)

[missjeanie]

Awesome empties @heartsmyface !  What brand of lipstick is that that made the repurchase list?

[heartsmyface]

Ciate pretty stix in sweetheart.  My go to pink.  It’s super moisturizing and easy to wear.  I called it on this tube cause it was getting annoying digging in there with a makeup brush to get the lipstick out.  @missjeanie 

[missjeanie]

@heartsmyface I haven't tried much from Ciate, so its' good to hear a great review.  Once a lipstick is at the point that I need to dig into it with a brush, it becomes annoying for me, so I understand.  Plus in this day when we (most BIC members) have so many lip products, a re-purchase means a lot of high praise!  I'll have to check them out next time I'm in store to see colours!

[heartsmyface]

Ha, yeah I guess that is the best praise there is!  All the lipsticks I actually use down to the bullet are in this same pink family.   I was turned onto these lipsticks in particular by Tarababyz a long while back so I owe this find to her. @missjeanie  

[missjeanie]

@heartsmyface I love her!  Tara is one of my favourite youtubers.  Actually one of maybe 3 or 4 I watch religiously! It was because of our mutual love of MUFE shadows that I first tried the Viseart on her recommendation! Love to see she gets some love from others here!

I was going to wait and do a full month of empties, but my bag 'o trash was overflowing.  A lot of deluxe samples and a few full size.

I loved the Korres Body Butter.  This particular scent came in my FFF box and was perfect for the holidays.  I'm sad that it's all gone.  I didn't love the L'Occitane hand lotion--it was more of a lotion than a cream even though it was in a tube--but I really liked the smell.  The Verb Hydrating Shampoo 12 oz/ 355 mLand Verb Hydrating Conditioner 12 oz/ 355 mLare great and I'll probably buy them once I get through the year+ of shampoo and conditioners I'm stockpiled on.  The DIOR - Diorshow Mascara

is great, and the Buxom Full-On™ Plumping Lip Polish Gloss Dollyhas a yummy mint taste and gives just enough plump without going overboard.

These are things I like enough to use but wouldn't buy.  The Crabtree & Evelyn came from a hotel stay, I'm kind of over the scent but do like the lather.  The Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Super Moisture Shampoo for Damaged Hair 16 oz/ 473 mL

is really thick and almost too moisturizing, you almost don't need a conditioner after it.  The L'occitane Shampoo--I LOVE the smell of this, but it's just too drying for my hair.  The KIEHL'S SINCE 1851 - Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Maskhas a great scent, but it feels sticky.  I'm not sure it really made a huge difference.  The OLEHENRIKSEN - Banana Bright Eye Crèmewas fine, but there are other products that work better.  The Moroccanoil Protect & Prevent Spray 5.4 oz/ 160 mLand actually worked better as a styling product than I expected, but I'm not keen on the scent.

Not sure how the two shampoos got into both photos, see above notes.  The Tresemme hairspray is what happens when you realize you have run out of your favorite brand while getting ready for a meeting in a hotel room.  This stuff goes on wet and dries like glue.  Just say no.  The KOPARI - Coconut Melt is just ick.  You have to dig your finger in to get it out, it's greasy and takes forever to soak in, and I was using it on my feet at bedtime because the scent was overpowering and they were definitely much dryer after two weeks of use than before.  One of the worst products ever.  The KIEHL'S SINCE 1851 - Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Maskis slimey.  Regardless of how lightly I applied it, it would drip down my face.  I don't understand how anyone enjoys using this mask.

[sephoraaddict918]

I wonder if it matters what type of skin you have when you use the Kiehl's Calendula and Aloe Mask. I have dry skin and it just seems to soak it all up. I slap it on, and it doesn't budge, but I do agree with that slimy feeling. That would be the only downside keeping me from repurchasing it. 

[Mcakes]

I really love the Verb shampoo and conditioner!

February mid month empties. No absolute hates this month yet! the bottom row was meh....mostly due to the smell. Be berry peel off was clear but it was a good mask. The dead sea has iffy DE as a top ingredient & it's made in China so the mystery of the actual ingredients made me destash after trying once. (thanks again for the knowledge @keana1😉) Not bad. 16 so far.
