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.

Finally some time to get through my empties. Looking forward to what March has in store, I feel like I've been using a lot less and I'll be traveling at the end of the month. Hoping to use up lots then. 

Love standouts: Finally finished a bite mask, yay!! Lots of FS products makes me happy. Drying lotion dried up, but had been around probably past it's expected lifespan anyways and got lots of use. Was surprised by how much I liked the avene hydrating mask. 

Likes/Nopes: lip products were nopes, destashes of more that I found. Started reacting to lot of things last year. Rest are okay/likes. Would use again, not purchase. Sephora foot masks are nice but nothing compared to the peel ones. Molton brown is a little too strongly scented for my sensitive nose. Liked sunday riley CEO but nothing life changing, I see the same effects from much cheaper masks with vit-c.

Spoiler

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Unscented- This is my favorite body moisturizer of all time. It can be a bit greasy if you use too much, but I have such dry skin that I actually like that.
Lush Pink Custard Shower Jelly- This was my last one. I cut it up into cubes and I feel like it lasts forever. It's gets nice and foamy but can be drying at times.
Algenist Genius Bi-Phase Peel- This is my favorite chemical exfoliator. I don't even know how many of these I've gone through but I'll never find anything more effective. I highly recommend it for dry skin too. 
Joico KPak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor- This made my hair soft and it actually did feel stronger. My beef with it is how thin the texture is and the fact that I had to use so much because I have long hair.
Shiseido Full Lash Waterproof- Doesn't budge.

Likes

Spoiler

Macadamia Professionals Weightless Moisture Leave in Conditioner- This is a good detangler (at least for my straight hair) but I prefer something that provides more moisture.
Sanitas Peptiderm Moisturizing Cream- I think this is supposed to be a night cream but I used it during the day. I can't decide if I want to repurchase it or not. I have pretty dry skin but this is too heavy for under makeup. It didn't make me greasy or anything, it just felt heavy.
Sephora Orchid Eye Mask- I feel like these are all the same no matter which one you get. I like them and will continue to buy them.
Fresh Rose Face Mask- This was good for any redness I had, but this isn't my favorite mask.

Meh/Nope

Spoiler

Missha Tiger Mask- Too much fragrance and didn't do anything.
Boscia Wakame Firming mask- This one pills and does nothing for the skin.
Urban Decay Trouble Maker Mascara- Flakes.
Kate Somerville ExfoliKate- I actually used this on my legs. I think it might be too harsh for my face so I don't really have an opinion on it.

@suzyo JM Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter is my favorite also. My husband has become alergic to my various colognes & perfumes. Some of the scents seem to satisfy my love of perfume scents. At the moment I am rotating Vanilla Pear, Vanilla Bean and my final jar of Strawberries & Whipped Cream. I wish Josie would bring back the Strawberries & Whipped Cream. I even posted on the trade thread and nobody responded.

skincare empties 

would repurchase

• 
• indeed hydraluron moisture boosting sheet mask (these do a good job at giving my skin an extra boost in hydration - i would repurchase them - but probably only in the winter when my skin needs more)
• dr dennis gross alpha beta universal daily peel (i can't use these often without them irritating my skin - but if i don't use one every other week i definitely see a difference in my skin - and not in a good way!)
• dr brandt microdermabrasion 
• the ordinary ascorbyl tetralsopalmitate solution 20% (i use this on my legs - i have some dark spots caused by an autoimmune disorder and i feel that this actually makes a difference and lightens the spots

would use again

• fab ultra repair cream (used this on my body)
• rab ultra repair face moisturizer
• josie maran light argan oil (i actually used this to treat my daughters cradle cap)
• korres night wild rose advanced brightening sleeping facial
• algenist genius ultimate anti-aging cream
• aveda botanicals kinetics energizing eye creme
• cliv max hyaluronic mask
• tatcha one step camellia cleansing oil
• cle de peau cotton (i can't even imagine how expensive these are - i'm not looking - but it wasn't anything amazing - so i'd use if had them but i wouldn't actually purchase)
• caudalie vinosource moisturizing sorbet
• clinique moisture serge
• charlotte tilbury magic night cream
• sephora instant moisture cream
• kat burka vitamin c face cream (used on body)
• lancome multi action night

no

•  garnier clean nourishing cleansing oil (burned my skin and didn't remove my makeup)
• shiseido benefiance intensive eye contour cream (gave me dry patches on my eyes!!!)
• kate somerville true lash lash enhancing eye makeup remover (i need to give up on kate.  kate isn't for me! this burned my eyes and irritated them for hours!!!)

[CC3616]

@sparklekai I kept trying Kate and had issues also. Didn't agree with me at all. 

[sparklekai]

@CC3616 for some reason i'm always thinking that "this" will be the product that's different! i just need to break up with kate for good.  our toxic relationship isn't working! 

[fieldsofclover]

@sparklekai Kate isn't for me either. I keep thinking the next time will be different, but it never is 🌶️

February Empties! The standouts: dove deodorant, BBW chestnut and argan body cream, Dermadoctor KP duty scrub, PTR 24K gold eye gels, UD all nighter setting spray, Hourglass veil primer, drunk elephant TLC night serum, tarte blush in prim.

[karap03]

this is the first blush i have ever used up! i have way too much makeup. i loved this color but i think it was limited edition (though there are dupes). tarte prim. i couldn't use every little bit because i was having to dig my brush onto the sides to get it!

Some empties, some destash old stuff from February. 

Loves: Sake Bomb conditioner, MARC Jacobs Omega lash, Volition Siltgelee Mask, the Creme shop mask, Perricone Cold Plasma + Face and Eye sample, Briogeo Hair mask. The rest are all fine, okay, but not remarkable. The Murad blemish cream always seemed to work at first but then irritate my skin, and they’re old so I’m tossing them.

@sister13 Thank you! The weather's been so gross lately that it's hard to take any photos in natural light .. 

[Sansara]

Loves. New discoveries Nars brow gel and ReVive clay mask.li

Likes. Good, but nothing extraordinary

No, not for me

[MachynesSister]

What didn't you like about the Honey Potion @Sansara? I've been thinking about picking some up. 

[Sansara]

@MachynesSister I have sensitive skin and it gave me really burning feeling. You know, not slightly warming, but like a deep sunburn. So, try carefully 🙂

[MachynesSister]

Thanks @Sansara! I've got sensitive skin too, so I might not try it at all .

[sister13]

Nice empties! @Sansara

[Sansara]

Thank you! Lets do more in March 🙂
