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

@catetastic Thanks for posting about the Benefit lash primer. I don't think that I knew they had one, will def try it out.

 

the Sephora foot masks are really something ❤️

Re: Empties

@heartsmyface How did you like the Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Pads? I got 3 samples from 3 different SAs and all of them said how awesome they are but I tried them and really didn't see any difference...

Re: Empties

@katkapivarci I really like them!  I don't always have the ten minutes to use my favorite peel (ole henriksen lemon strip flash peel) so these work great for when I need at least something.  

Re: Empties

@heartsmyface Sweet empties. You are good at holding onto the empties.

Re: Empties

A little obsessive is more like it;) it's good cause I am getting through the crazy stash of samples Because of this thread.  I'm so glad my skin is so tough and can take all the product changes:) @darkiceis

Re: Empties

Ahhhh, I can't seem to edit my post without deleting everything!  .  I hate the new BT!!!  So angry!  I need ice cream.

July empties:IMG_3296.JPG

Loves:
MB Cucumber Green Tea facial spray - my skin loves this, will forever keep backups and never run out. Keeps my skin hydrated without being sticky or greasy and it smells amazing and refreshing. I keep a bottle in the fridge for scorching hot days. 

GlamGlow YouthCleanse - exfoliates just enough so my skin stays smooth without getting irritated. 

Meh:

Tony Moly Foot Magic Foot - my feet peeled like crazy with these for the most part. My most troubled areas weren't fazed too much though. Will try Baby Foot brand next!

Anatomicals Rose shower gel - to me these almost smells exactly like Roses de Chloe which I love, I loved the lather on this my only 'meh' thing about it was the bottle didn't last very long at all. 

Nope:

Smashbox Photofinish primer - so slippery, I don't feel like it helped fill in my pores any, and the scent to it is off putting. I love the Smashbox pore primer but this just didn't work for me. Will use up my samples but wouldn't purchase. 

Tarte Clean Slate primer - this was so thick, getting it to spread on my face was a nightmare! Nope! I have one more DS of this and I'm not even sure I can get myself to use it. 

Re: Empties

@StephaniLynn I also love the GlamGlow and MB facial spray but I never thought to put it in the refrigerator. Great idea!! I do like the Smashbox primer and lately it's all I've been using. I actually just bought another backup which will be in my next haul pic. I will be posting my empties hopefully by tomorrow and you will see a ton of GlamGlow masks

Re: Empties

@HookedOnBeauty2 I'm not sure if GG is discontinuing the cleansers all together or just revamping the packaging but I do love this one. I like the supercleanse with my clarisonic. 

I know it sounds weird putting skincare in the fridge but honestly it helps so much during our summers. 120+ degrees some days and all I want to do is hide inside lol!

Re: Empties

A few empties from the last few months probably!

 

These are loves.  I have already or will repurchase.These are loves. I have already or will repurchase.Mostly ok, either would need more time/use to decide or just ok, nothing trrribly special.Mostly ok, either would need more time/use to decide or just ok, nothing trrribly special.

Re: Empties

@sister13 I love the Shiseido eye masks!!

Re: Empties

They are nice and relaxing, but i guess I don't notice a big change and just never seem to (a) remember to use, or (b) get too excited about eye masks. 😉😉😉

Re: Empties

My June empties! Definitely a very lacking month - I didn't even come close to my goal or close to the numbers I've been getting the past few months, because I was in the process of moving this month (and I've just been using less products since it's summer!). Anyways, here's what I was able to get through.

Re: Empties

The boscia hydrogel eye masks work so well. I wish that boscia would make a package either more pairs. 

 

I def neeed to try the Tata Harper.

Re: Empties

My June empties! Better late than never.  I had 36 empties and 8 de-stashes this month.  Not quite my target, but I'm happy with what I got through. I'm ordering way less this year and happy to be shrinking my supplies down. I'm hoping to keep using up samples before I order again in order to shrink my collection down to true loves.

LOVES

Spoiler
- i never thought I'd love cotton, but I was wrong. I use a tip from BT and cut these in half. A bag lasts me about 6 months.
-the sol Janeiro body wash is way more than I think is ok to spend on body wash, but it does last and smells so amazing. I may or may not repurchase depending on how ballar I feel.  The body spray is on a to buy list because of this and the lotion.
- I think I'll forever buy the UD all nighter, but I am getting curious to if anything else out there strikes my fancy.
- st Tropez in shower tanner,. This is something at first I felt like was a waste.  But I started using it again this summer and fell in love.  I only really use it on my legs so it goes further than if I were to try my full body.  I like that it's a gradual tan so I don't get any odd patchiness or streaks and it looks natural.
- Latisse is a staple and I can't imagine my lashes without it.
- bumble &bumble hairdressers oil conditioner, I was away for two weeks and made use of the mini I got in a 500 point reward. Already have used several full size. Great smell, great hair!

LIKES

IMG_5474.JPG

Spoiler
-the fresh mask sample was surprisingly nice but I've found a new love from herbivoire.
- NARS primer again nice, but ive used better, not as pore filling as a pore filling primer should be I think.
the Kate Somerville goat milk moisturizer was nice, I'll be thinking about this as a purchase. Nothing special, but a good, no scent, no spf moisturizer.
-the olay quench was okay, but I prefer the scent on the jergens.
-batiste is my favourite cheaper dry shampoo but the brunette version leaves résidu on my finger nails if I scratch my head.  I'll stick to the tropical from now on.
-the Korres eye cream was the first full size eye cream Ive ever used. It moisturized, sure but didn't help dark circles as claimed. Ive a ton of samples to use up before I contemplate a full size of anything but I'll move on from this on the quest for the best.

NOT FOR ME

IMG_5476.JPG

Spoiler
- the shoppers masque actually stung a little, and while good value as I got 4 uses from one packet... no visible results and no relaxing experience.
-the ole oil I used up on my elbows and feet. It did nothing but make my face feel oily.  Im not really into oils so that may be part of the reason I wasn't feeling this. 
- the skyn moisturizer was supposed to be cooling.  The menthol sure was cooling but was too strong for me. Would probably feel great on legs or arms innthe warm weather!
- I think this was an essence? Came with ipsy. My skincare routine isn't advanced enough for this yet. While it didn't hurt, I didn't see it do anything.

DESTASHED

IMG_5477.JPG

Spoiler
Body shop oils were nice when I was 15 but I'm long past 15, and so these oils are likely over 20 years old lol. Time to move em out for things I use.
elf foundation I thought would be a dupe for my Mac studio tech, nope. Greasy and oily.
the burts bees foot crème is sooooo greasy, i had to wear socks while using it and Im anti socks, so I'm moving on!


 

Re: Empties

Bump!

Re: Empties

Bump it up!

Re: Empties

I've been working really hard to use up the stuff I have. I hadn't realized that every ime I went to get my hair done I ended up buying shampoo and conditioner and I have like 6 half used bottles cluttering my bathroom. 

 

C-Firm Drunk elephant: As you can see it is completely oxidized, the annoying part is that ever since I bought it back in November it was that exact color. They have reformulated and changed the manufacturing process so new batches are clear. Still I think customers who bought the first oxidized from the get go batch should get some kind of voucher.

 

Awapuhi shampoo and conditioner: Liked it especially the smell but I don't feel it did anything out of the ordinary for my hair.

 

Pantene Dry Shampoo: this is my HG formula it works so well, why does it have to smell like roach killer??? Pantene please change the perfume on this!!!!!

 

Kiehls conditioner: NOPE it left my hair a greasy mess, heavy, weird.

 

MUFE mascara: this was part of a rouge birthday present from last year I think? LOVE it already bought the full size!

 

Not in the picture a lip scrub from Lush that went stale (Another reason to keep going through my stash of unused stuff I hate throwing away gone bad beauty products)
