Empties

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.

Re: Empties

@itsfi 

If you like mild florals, the Tobacco Petals one was good. It wasn't overwhelmingly cloying or heavy, good throw but not too much, if that makes sense. My taste tends to run anti-floral, enough that I won't buy this one again, but it wasn't so bad that I hated it while I burned it. 

 

I'm not ashamed to say I had a moment of silence when I finished off the last biobelle 😥

Re: Empties

@RGbrown, that moment of silence was well earned, both by Biobelle’s first generation of masks and by you. Any idea what sheet mask(s) will take their place in your sheet mask rotation as a favorite of yours or one you like a lot?

Re: Empties

@itsfi 

I'm not sure at this point. For the most part, I'm using mine up just to get them used and not let them go to waste, but the fact that I've been so behind on so many for so long kinda speaks to the fact that sheet masks aren't really my favorite to begin with. I thought I'd love them, bought a ton, and whoops, turned out I wasn't as big a fan as I thought I'd be, so I mostly ignored them 🤭 My routine now though is that I use one on the days I wash my hair, while my hair is still up in my towel, and I kinda enjoy them like that...that's once every 3-5 days or so, not so often that it's a hassle, not so time consuming that I can't enjoy it, so I can see myself keeping a few around in the future. Honestly though, it'll probably mostly just be whatever I can get at Ulta with a deal, maybe a few from TJM or other places I shop normally...it won't be something I go out of my way for. Although...I've got a bunch of different ones coming up soon, ones from a certain super sweet care package that a certain super sweet person sent me, so who knows, maybe I'll find a fave in those that I have to hunt down! 😏

Re: Empties

@RGbrown  I feel the same about cream or clay masks though maybe I’m warming up to them a bit.  I like that I can rip a sheet mask off if I need to be presentable in a flash.  

Re: Empties

@heartsmyface 

Ahhhh, I love a good clay mask, but I've been terrible about forgetting all about my stash of them again. It's like I can only focus on one kind of mask at a time, and trying to use up my sheet masks has occupied the masking function in my head 😂

Re: Empties

@RGbrown Great empties!

Re: Empties

@Mellmars1185 

Thanks so much! 💕

Re: Empties

I totally started cracking up at all of the polish remover, @RGbrown .

I love it when a cheap filler is actually useful to me 😂

Re: Empties

Late posting of March empties. I did challenge where I set out to use 31 foil samples, mainly tried-and-true products, so the count for this month is heavily skewed towards the foils.

I would be fine using any of these products again. The loves of this bunch were the two idebenone-focused sheet masks. The daily mask pack and the Hint sunblock spray I liked and would repurchase, and the Hello Ganic sheet mask is one I would happily use again and that I might repurchase when my stash is a little less full.

All these foils were part of the sample challenge I took part in last month. I summarized my thoughts on each of these items here --> Reviews - Foils from March Mini Madness: Sample Showdown

Re: Empties

@itsfi Great empties!

Re: Empties

@Mellmars1185, thank you. It’s always nice to work through things in my stash. 😀 

Re: Empties

Nice job on the foils, @itsfi.

Re: Empties

Thank you @CookieGirl1! The challenge was a very good reminder to work through that stash. 😊 They can accumulate so quickly. This is actually also reminding me that I need to look through some recently acquired gwps to decide which to keep and which to donate. 

Re: Empties

@itsfi I actually LOVE foils (although I know that a lot of people don't).  It's a good way to try something that I've been curious about but i also love it for times when I feel like I really want to buy something new but know that I shouldn't so I take out a foil to kind of simulate the idea of having something new to play with.

Re: Empties

@CookieGirl1, that's a smart way to use foils. Are there certain categories of products (e.g., skincare, makeup, fragrance, etc.) that you find yourself reaching for more frequently with your foil samples? 

Re: Empties

@itsfi Thank you for the information.   I agree about scented products.  Especially if you are putting it on your hair and face.  I have a sample of the Wishful exfoliated but have not tried.  I am looking to smelling it !! 

Re: Empties

@Cissy63, I don’t mind scent in product if it’s light but do try to avoid when it’s in a skincare product, especially the more perfumes scents; my skin seems to be prone to react to those more.

Re: Empties

I’ve just started to keep track of my empties total to date 30 as of March 31, 2022

 #Sephora Lychee Face Mask - I Really like those facemask the sheet was well saturated with Serum and it sit pretty well and the response to my skin was great it was soft moist and brightened.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Face Mask Coconut- I like this mask as well it sit well that she was well saturated with Serum and it fit my face well and the results were a softer smoother brightened face.

#Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks- I used two over these over the month and I do like this they make my under eye feels soft and look a little brighter.

#Lancôme Renergie Lift face mask - this mask was well saturated with the serum after using it my face was very soft and felt smooth and did look brightened. 

#patchology lip gel mask - This mask was a little strange to use placing it over both upper and lower lips in the surrounding area it didn’t sit too well at least not for as long as they wanted you to keep it on but my lips were pretty soft after using it. 
#Tula Facial gel wipes with these ended up being was a facial cleanse one side had the serum you put it under water soften it up use it on your face in the other side and almost like a little exfoliation area where you would remove the product rub it around your face from time before your rinsed it off this was OK but I don’t think I can buy it again it’s not really what I would want in a mask.

Mask+ology face mask-This was a two-step mask you apply the serum I’m used as much of it from the packet as you can so it’s really sick and then the paper sheeting is a dry paper that you apply and it sticks to the serum after finishing at you take off the paper and it’s supposed to actually adhere to your skin it’s gentle a pull off I just don’t think it really did much of anything for me and I really don’t care for this kind of product I don’t think I would buy it again.

 Bath and Body Works foaming hand soap-Bath and Bodyworks is one of my favorite brands for hand soap this particular scent  is a rosewater scent  and I really do like that scent  of course it cleans your hands well and it does leave them soft

#human + kind hand scrub- This was a fine hand scrub nothing special about it but it did make my hands very soft and I liked using it when in the shower and also use it on my feet and they came out very soft but it’s nothing exceptional I don’t think that I would be purchasing it again.

#Korres Santorini Grape Sea Mist body butter- I loveKorres products this is a very light scent not overwhelming it’s very moisturizing  on my quite dry skin and I will repuchase Korres again absolutely.

Pipette body cream -I received this in a Beachly box and I really like this scent that beach scent of coconut and suntan cream and it’s just was so soft and moisturizing I really enjoyed this problem if I ever see it again I would be purchase it.

#Bad Habit mint facial cleanser-This facial cleanser was great the smelter the mint just peaked into your nose and it was so refreshing and clean feel on your face I say it was not overly dry it felt soft and moist afterwards this I would re-purchase.

Soji Health face moisturizer - This moisturizer was not bad but it was nothing really exceptional about it the only thing that was a whole different wasn’t had a cooling sensation as you applied it to your skin my skin was soft but there’s just other moisturizers and I don’t think I necessarily have to buy this again

#Philosophy hope and hand moisturizing lotion - This lotion did have green tea in it and you could actually pick up a tea sense from it I did like it maybe my hands really soft this was a little gift at Christmas from a family member I appreciate it I use hand cream all the time if I wanted to I would repurchases but I just have so many right now that I don’t need to do the repurchase at present.

Baush & Lomb dry eye drops- I like these drops and I will buy another bottle my

eyes are so dry that I produced very little natural tears so I find these are very effective.

#Huda Beauty Wishful Thirst Trap Juice - this is one product I wish Sephora would carry. I really like this product it’s hyaluronic acid and it’s quickly absorbed into my face and it really improve the overall texture and tone and appearance of my skin. Right now I am using up other hyaluronic acid products so I will re-purchase this one though when I’m finished with the other products.

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ - this is the first sunscreen that I can really use on my face it’s a gel a clear gel actually it goes on so smoothly and it can act as a primer as well. Because it’s a gel I don’t have any white cast on my face that makes me look like a ghost. It’s been effective in preventing a  sunburn so far and I hope as the weather gets warmer and I’m outside more it’ll continue to work well for me I have already repurchased it.

#Skinfix Minty Mint lip balm-This was good it actually had a nice minty flavor it just didn’t last very long I did finish the whole tube I have other lip balm right now so I don’t think I’ll be looking to re-purchase this in the near future.

 Greenwich Soap Co Lemon and Verbena scented soap - I really enjoy this soap I purchase it from a shop at the Jersey shore. It comes in the soap,body lotion , talcum powder and it just has such a wonderfully light scent nothing that’s overpowering I repurchase this already along with the body powder and body lotion it makes a body scrub too.

#Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade - this was a sampler it had four colors in it. Unfortunately none of the colors were a good match for my eyebrow color. Plus I do like an eye pencil or an eye gel preferably to working with a brush in the promenade. So I don’t think this is the product that I’m going to be looking to make a actual purchase of. 
#Kiehl’s Line reducing dark circle reducing vitamin C eye cream- this cream made the under riah softer area it blended it really easily did not irritate my eyes or my skin and it was just fine I just have some other eye creams that I’m using right now but I don’t see the need to purchase this at the present time

Skinfix barrier+ Strengthening and Moisturizing Triple Lipid-Peptide Refillable Cream with B-L3 - unfortunately this cream did not work out for my face it was so thick and it felt so heavy that I did not care for it. I used it at night thinking that it would absorb overnight for a longer period of time but in the morning I still had that heavy feeling of cream on my face so I’m not going be buying this. It was a sample size and I won’t be purchasing a full-size product.

#Charlotte Tilbury Magic Face cream-I really liked the scream it was so soft and quick absorbing my skin just drank it right up. My skin felt soft and supple and so smooth. If I weren’t using other face creams and there was a sale I might consider purchasing this.

#Herbivore Pink Cloud facial cream- I like this cream it was not heavy it was soft soaked right into my skin and left me feeling soft and well moisturized. And again if I weren’t using other products right now I might think about purchasing this.

Summer Friday eye cream- This  eye cream felt very light and my under eye area seemed well moistened. But it was no real wow about the cream. I don’t feel the need to re-purchase a full size. 

#Caudalie Vinosource facial cream- This was a lovely face cream. The cream was light soft and moist and my skin very well. I would purchase this as I use the sample up.

Marc Jacobs Fragrances Daisy Love Eau de Toilette - I really like the scent it was light and floral great for spring and summer. If I didn’t have other fragrances that I’m working through I would consider maybe purchasing this.

Ellis Brooklyn SALT Eau de Parfum Travel Spray 0.34 oz/ 10 mL - I didn’t care for the scent. There was  some thing about it that almost smelled bitter to my nose but for that reason I didn’t like it I won’t be purchasing a full-size. 
#My Way by Giorgio Armani- I really like this fragrance it has a beautiful soft a little floral scent for spring and for summer. And if I wasn’t working through other sense I would consider purchasing this full size.
