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.
A little mid-month clean out 🗑️

Masks, both reviewed before, both still good. Love the Better Skin Lava Magic scrub, it's super scrubby and rinses easily. Smells good too, citrus scent. Love the Julep Love Your Bare Face Cleansing Oil as well, but this has gone bad, unfortunately 😞 I couldn't begin to tell you how old this Sephora Hydrating Mist is, but I'm anti-coconut lately and just can't with the scent, so it's gotta go.
@RGbrown OMG “little dusty balls smooshed together “ had me on the floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣 What an image in my head, I loved it😀. Urea cream was a frequent order for my patients calloused feet. There is an odor but it works well. Thank you for your detailed information. It’s very useful 🥰
It was the weirdest leftover wax I'd ever seen, almost like it was too dry to melt or something (not that that's even possible really, it was just weird that it melted and cooled with a texture instead of smoothly). Oh, I know, popcorn ceiling, that's what it reminded me of!
So stank is common for urea creams? Good to know, thank you!!
Great job on your empties @RGbrown
And clearing out what's gotta go 😋
Nice work! That’s a bummer about the Julep cleansing oil going bad @RGbrown; it was a good formula.
I have a massive shopping bag of empties somewhere, but cannot tackle that one, lol. I’m the meantime, here are a few recents.
loves (well or already have repurchased) - 😍
Fine but not amazing - 😏
Okay but too small to tell really - 🤔
I may have another pic of some other empties that I took but didn’t post, let me look for that one. Also, gonna x-post to Empties V2 because I can’t keep track of the two! 💗💗
@sister13 I had a sample of Egg Mellow facial cleanser (I think the cleanser) but it was not anything exceptional. Thank you for your post 😀

Notes below!
Sheet masks, mostly fine. As someone who hates anything around her neck (no turtlenecks, no chokers, not even crewneck tshirts unless it's oversized so the neck isn't bothering me; I can stand a scarf, but only when it's coooooold), I'm not sure why I even had this in my stash in the first place, but no surprise, I hated it, I think I lasted about 10 minutes before ripping it off and gasping for air lol. There's nothing wrong with it if you don't have weird issues with things touching your throat like I do though! Out of the rest, Patchology was a bit overly scented for my taste (perhaps mild to some, but I found it bordered on perfumey). Fairly certain I've reviewed the rest recently; out of them, I think the Tonymoly Collagen is my fave, it's the most hydrating of the lot, and that's really all I want or expect from a sheet mask.
I thought I had cleaned out all my old topcoats like a year or two ago, but found a few I guess I decided to keep for whatever reason. I'm enamored enough with Glisten & Glow that these are completely unnecessary and will never get used, so I'll dump them out, clean the bottles, and save at least some of them for future mixing ventures or cuticle oil or something.
I've learned a hard lesson (again) about hoarding some things; Ulta lip oils definitely do not have an infinite shelf life, and I'm doing my best to race through my stash use what I have before the rest go bad 😕 The Sweet & Shimmer lip oil may still be fine, but the packaging annoys me so much that I tossed my last one half used, so I'm not hanging on to this one. The sunscreen lip balm is way past it's exp date, and is starting to smell funny as well.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of neck masks either @RGbrown for the exact same reasons. 👊🏼 If they are included with a sheet mask I’ve picked up, I’ll apply the neck mask elsewhere; if it’s connected to the face mask, out comes my mini scissors. 😂 No can do.
Yep, Glisten & Glow is my shiny top coat of choice. Good reminder, thank you; I need to do a declutter of the other top coats in my stash. At this point, it’ll be something to add for my 2023 “to do” list, but I’ll try to remember to pull them when I run across ‘em in my bin.
Even though it is past mid October, I have my empties from September.
Always nice to see empties @Cissy63! Out of curiosity, was the Lancôme mascara primer a declutter because it wasn’t working well for you or was it past its prime?

@RGbrown Lots of good info. I appreciate your comments on the Redken dry shampoo that you like and also the Matrix Biolage dry shampoo. I have looking for a new brand 😊
Happy to help! Redken is my fave, I like the scent a bit more than the Matrix one, but as far as I can tell in any other way, they are almost exactly the same...the ingredient lists between the two are nearly identical.
I'm having a brain fart, can't remember if you're in the US or Canada, but if US, check JCP (is JCP in Canada? I don't know?!). They run one or both for $10ish fairly often (Redken Deep Clean is $9.90 right now!)
Thanks. I’m in US. So will check out JCP!
Another month, another batch of trash 🗑️ YTD 337
Sheet masks, all good! The Ulta one has a decently strong banana scent, but the rest are very low scent, and all left me with enough moisture to be happy going without moisturizer for a while.
I tend to go through them in spurts...I'll burn one all day every day for several days, then forget I even own any candles for a while, then start back up again 😅 I love keeping them going though (at least when it's a good one)!
@RGbrown you went through the biggie Zoya remover! No surprise, lol. I've also heard really good things about the Josie Maran cleanser but never tried it myself so I appreciate your thoughts.
IIRC, I can go through one of those Zoya removers in something like 7-8 months? I'd have to look back through some of my older empties pics to double check that, but it was pretty quick. (ETA: 4 months 😮) This one has actually been open for well over a year, maybe even close to two now, but I had stopped using it for a while to make sure I could make my DIY brew close enough...I didn't want to run out in case I hated my homemade stuff, and then when my homemade stuff was good enough, I just kept saving the Zoya lol. But now I have a couple more bottles of Zoya, so I can start using it again without feeling like I'll run out any time soon!
The cleanser was good!
