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.
YTD 232 🗑️
I will get some notes up eventually, though it may not be right away (ETA: eep, that only took two months). Feel free to ask any questions in the mean time!
Sheet masks, mostly fine. Not a fan of the snail hydrogel, it will not stay up (and the mesh imbedded in it makes my face itch). I don't recall disliking any of the others for any reason, so I kinda assume I didn't hate them 😛
New batch of empties!!
24 in this one
pic #1
Sephora masque matcha tea- It mattified my skin which is its objective.
Sephora vitamin E eye mask- this gave me a lot of moisture in my under eye area
TonyMoly mask I’m Watermelon- lots of moisture I liked it !
Vivona Brand Niacinamide Sheet Mask - tons of serum in this pack. So much that I over saturated the sheet trying to use all of it, good moisture for my skin
Snow Fox Arctic Breeze Rescue Mask- great mask lots of serum, gave a wonderful coolness to my skin
Soon Skincare Hydrating Blueberry Hydrogel Eye Patch- good moisture, not a blue serum
Kiehl’s Super Multicorrective Eye Zone Treatment- a sample pack from Sephora. No payoff for me
#Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor Elasti-Cream- a sample from Sephora- did not like the fragrance and a tacky feeling to my skin
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer sample-ON1-Petal- I liked how this felt on my face, it’s sheer.but it covered enough. Did not move all day with a setting spray on top.
pic#2
Skylar Hydrating Body Wash- liked it. Very softening and pleasant fragrance
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water All-in-One Waterproof- this has been the only micellar water that doesn’t bother my eyes so I have repurchased it
Lancome Bi-Facil makeup remover- I really do love this, but due to its cost I only buy if I find a Lancôme sale. Which is not often
Bath &Body Works - foaming hand soap - Rose Water &Ivy. - I love the scent of roses!
iS Clinical Cleansing Complex- possibly from FFF?? But I really enjoyed it, clean scent and no issues with my face.
amika Fadeblock Pre-Shampoo Color Seal 5 oz/ 150 mL - this was better than others, my hair color lasted longer than usual. I repurchased it
Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip French Green Clay Cleanser 5 oz/ 150 mL - I liked this , caused no issues with my skin will consider a replacement
elf Holy Hydration Makeup Melting Cleaning Balm- this is a sample, it’s great as a 1st cleanse, not pricey and works good at removing stubborn makeup
Molton Brown Bath and Shower Gel- a sample, lots of soapy bubbles, great scent, but a little costly for daily use for me
Skin Medica HA5 Rejuvenate Hydrator- a hyaluronic acid - sample, too sticky for me and too costly
PCA Skin hyaluronic acid boosting serum- a sample, good slip on my face, good hydration too, costly
111Skin Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Booster- from Ipsy otherwise I couldn’t afford it- took a year to finish which may possibly lead me to justify a purchase- I loved this!! Only need a few drops- great hydration!!
Not pictured
Perfume samples
Chance by Chanel - lovely light floral scent for this time sheet year
Indigo my Nest - a heavy scent to me
Moonlight in Heaven by Kilian - I enjoyed this, a little floral, not overpowering
Latest batch 🗑️
YTD 200
Notes in the spoilers!
Sheet masks, all fine with low scent and decent moisture. Nothing revolutionary here, but nothing bad either. The foot mask is something I try and keep on hand and will absolutely rebuy, it's delightfully minty and such a nice treat every now and again.
I wish y'all did too! Plans were in the works, they were even hiring corporate folks for the Canadian offices...and then the pandemic ground all of that to a halt. Perhaps they'll consider it again soon! 🤞
@RGbrown great empties pile! How did you like those sheet mask? I think I have a couple on hand from that brand somewhere around here, hehe.
They all fell into the "fine" category for me, though I'm not a huge sheet mask fan to begin with, so what do I know lol (I'm just trying to use up what I have so they don't go to waste, but the format in general isn't really my favorite). They were low scent with decent moisture, which is all I really ask for in a sheet mask, so all in all, they're perfectly passable, something I'd use again, but not something I'll go out of my way to restock.
These are the empties from May, unfortunately not as fruitful as I hoped it would be. Going to try to dip into my project pan a lot this month to get rid of those products since June is the middle of the year.
Key:
❤️Red Heart= I've used this product for a long time now. It's one of my tried/trues, I'll continue to buy it.
💛Yellow/Orange Heart= I've used this product for a long time now, I like it enough to continue repurchasing.
💝Ribbon Wrapped Pink Heart= A relatively new product I've been trying but I'm liking it a lot so far.
🖤Black Heart: A loved but discontinued product.
👩Shrugging Girl Emoji= I haven't used this product enough to formulate a strong opinion about it. (It's "okay")
👍Thumbs Up= I'm liking this this product. Nothing revolutionary, but I like it enough to try it again/maybe repurchase.
👎Thumbs Down= I'm not liking this product and I won't be repurchasing.
@QueenMarceline Nice empties. I love banana scented products. How do the banana masks smell?
@Mellmars1185 Unfortunately, these do not smell like banana at all. Despite that, I really enjoy that mask a lot.
May 2022 empties
Only one major miss for May and that was the Sol de Janeiro Hair Mask. It smells great, but it wasn't a great hair mask for me. Too thick / heavy for my hair and, as a result, I had a hard time working it into my hair - it felt like it just sat atop my hair. It took a while to rinse it all out of my hair as well.
The three items with a hot pink star next to it are items I love and would repurchase. For these three, the only reason I haven't repurchased right away is that I have similar products I need to work through first. AmorePacific Vintage Single Extract Essence is no stranger to my skincare bin. There always seems to be some size of the product in the house. The green-tea based essence pricey but oh so good for adding hydration to my skin and making it more supple.
The fit of the Purederm Snail Cell Illuminating Multi-Step Treatment Mask takes some getting used to, but the results from the ampoule and mask are great - soft, bouncy, hydrated skin with a fresh-faced, healthy glow.
Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm is great at removing all my makeup and sunscreen and leaving my skin soft, smooth and lightly hydrated. It's one that I find works best for me when my skin is more on the combo side.
Items with a "thumbs up" emoji on or next to them are ones I do like, some maybe that I like a lot, and that I would use again, but I don't necessarily feel like I have to have them, primarily because there are similar products I like better and reach for more often. Christophe Robin Cleansing Volumizing Paste with Pure Rassoul Clay and Rose Extracts smells wonderful and does a nice job of clearing my hair of any residue or build up from my hair care products.
NEST New York Himalayn Salt & Rosewater candle is part of their Wellness collection. It has a lovely sweet and floral scent; I pick up more of the geranium than the rose, but the latter is in there, though very faint. It's a pretty scent and one I do like, but my favorite within the Wellness Collection (and one of my favorites of all candles) is the Driftwood and Chamomile scent.
Everything else is fine - did what they were intended to do. I just like other similar products more. I have a few more sheet masks that should be included in this post but I can't seem to locate where I kept my empties bag for those as the bag is not in its usual place and I'm wondering if I may have already tossed them.

I've been shooting for posting twice a month, but managed to skip the end of April, so it's a pretty big batch for me today 🗑️ YTD 181

@RGbrown I see a LOT of sheet masks I also like/use. So sorry you don't really care for the hydrocools, they're some of my most reached for masks but lately I've been digging a lot of eye masks that come in pots of like 30 cts so I have not been reaching for these as much. I might bring some along for the ride on my business trip for some fun spa time 🙂 I have the cicamend mask but haven't yet tried it out, I'm usually a big fan of the creme shop face masks though so I have high hopes for that one.
I also adore that Sephora Watermelon mask, it's one of my favorites from the Sephora line but I usually use it as after sun care.
Also so bummed to see that you weren't digging those Peach & Lily gwps/minis, I've been wanting to dip into this brand but so far have only tried out their little face cleansing pads but I've definitely been intrigued because of the hype. However, maybe I'll skip these particular picks in my future exploration and look for something I hear good feedback on first.
I don't dislike the hydrogels really, they just don't do much for me. While my skin is nowhere near perfect, I don't really have undereye issues that bother me, so these are just an extra step for me that feels good (I do like the cooling effect), but has no real benefit most of the time, so I never really think about eye masks, whether from Skyn or any other brand.
Lotsa folks love P&L, for sure! The pudding moisturizer was a bit weird for me, but the gel one is pretty nice from what I recall of my last sample (and I've got a couple more I'll be using some time soon-ish too).
@RGbrown Gotcha 🙂 I really enjoy the cooling effect tbh. Not sure if they're doing anything for my eyes but I'm a bit addicted to eye masks haha!
Time to roll out my April 2022 empties, this was a much slower month for me due to just starting a new job and not having as much time for masking and such. I'm going to try to make May more of a month to "treat myself" and dip into the products I have on hand (which is a lot, lol).
