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.

Thank you, @IndyQT317!!! 🤗

A lot of products decided to run out at the same time this month and I’m pretty impressed that the shampoo and conditioner went out at the same time!

Overall thoughts:

Verb Shampoo and Conditioner lasted a good 7 months and were great on my colored, fine hair.

Living Proof Thickening Cream was a repurchase and also works great on my fine hair when I am in need of volume.

Kopari Coconut Balm also lasted a good 7 months and was used by both my bf and myself and got rid of my dry, itchy skin.

Smashbox Primerizer was an AMAZING, hydrating and non-greasy primer for my oily skin throughout the winter and worked well with all foundations I combined it with.

Not pictured: Stila Stay All Day liquid liner x2 (we all know how I feel about this product) ❤️

Jumping on the Primerizer bandwagon; I love that stuff! (...when I remember to use it, lol. Finished off my sample, bought more...and now I forget I have it 🤦)

[IndyQT317]

Hey @gonerouge. The Smashbox Primizer suprised me as well. I had a deluxe sample a while back. I was sad when I ran out. I planned to buy one for the winter months too.

Time to clear out a batch of empties!

I Dew Care mask is a heck no; the scent is a baffling mix of florals and dirty laundry, and the fit is terrible. Results were fine, but the cons heavily outweigh that. Mad Hippie Vitamin C...really need more than one packet for true results, but it was fine. Found several almost-empty tubes of BBW Shea foot cream and consolidated them into one container this week (love this stuff). Everything else is good!

[IndyQT317]

I have seen a few Mad Hippie products online. Do you remember where you received the sample from @RGbrown?

Ulta carries them now! That's where I got it 😏

[sonnydee]

haven't tried biobelle yet. @RGbrown I did just buy one #iwokeuplikethis or something like that from ulta. Needed a filler haha. Completely understand about not being a sheet mask person. I think I prefer mud/wash off masks but dang it! some nights that's all to much work!

[RGbrown]

@sonnydeeUnidentified

I hope you love the Biobelle! Their material is just incredible and the results are pretty nice too. Can't recall if I've tried that one in particular, but I've liked all I've tried so far. They fit well and the scents are lightly clean (almost non-existent, which suits me fine), and the material, yes the material is worth mentioning again. Tencel rocks 😂

A good clay/mud mask is *everything* to me. Can't be beat!

[sonnydee]

sorry I dew care wasn't kind to ya @RGbrown. I've only tried unwind (from the box set) & really liked it

[RGbrown]

@sonnydeeUnidentified

The more I make myself use up some of my sheet masks, the more I realize I'm just not a sheet mask person 😋 I have one or two more I Dew Care to use up, and am thankful I didn't go hog wild buying a bunch from the brand...hopefully they'll be a little better than this one, at least scent wise (I assume fit will be the same though 🤨). While I've found a few I can deal with, Biobelle has been the only brand I've truly liked so far and is the only one I'd consider repurchasing. 

[sonnydee]

Only a few but I used 17 foils this week so happy about that! pink foil was a shower bomb I got at Wal-Mart. It dissolved quickly but the scent didn't last. probably won't buy again.

[IndyQT317]

August empties. Very late I know. Staple products: Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation Perfecting Moisturizer, Boscia Detoxifying Black Charcoal Cleanser and Sephora Triple Action cleansing water. All the masks were okay. The fragrances were nice and likely future purchases. Suprising products were Drybar Triple Sec and Pacifica Underarm wipes. Both have become favorites. I love love love the Drybar scent and the wipes are wonderful to use after the gym.

Hi @IndyQT317,

Loved seeing your empties. My empties look very similar 😉 Thank you for sharing!

Best,

Rebecca 

[eshoe]

Wow, great work on all those empties, @IndyQT317! Was this your first time trying out the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream? I only recently tried it and 💗💗💗it! Aren’t underarm wipes awesome 👏🏼!?!

[IndyQT317]

Hey @eshoe I've tried the bum bum cream a few times. I enjoy the scent, but I'm sure there is some ingredient that I'm allergic to. I always end up with red arm splotches. It's a bummer too so I only use on on legs and feet. It's too expensive for partial body use.

[eshoe]

That is a bummer, @IndyQT317 😔 Korres makes a Guava body butter that has a similar but a fainter scent. No pretty sparkles, though:/

L'Oreal Brow Stylist Definer in Deep Burnette - this is my holy grail eyebrow pencil.  It's not to soft and not too hard and it has a fine point.  On top of that it's half the cost of most luxury eyebrow pencils and for me it does the same.  

[tastelikewater]

@b3autygrl I love that one too, except that the spoolie end ALWAYS detaches within two weeks! It doesn't break off, but whatever is attaching that end to the rest of the pencil comes unglued/unstuck/whatever. To be fair, my ABH one broke off within a week, so I'm happy to be saving the $.

[b3autygrl]

@tastelikewater I guess I've been lucky.  I haven't had any issues with the spoolie breaking off or anything.

Lots of foil packs and sheet masks here, as I’m working on finishing 40 foils by the end of Sept.

Spoiler

The CT Magic Cream blended with the Clarins Energy Booster was indeed magical! The Dermablend surprised me, I would have never tried this brand in a million years and was going to toss the sample but am glad I included it. It worked really well evening my skin tone, while managing to look natural and not at all cakey. The sheet masks are all loves.

Good

Spoiler

The Omorovicza Essence was my first essence ever, and I am a little perplexed at its effectiveness. It could be great, I didn’t know🤷🏼‍♀️

The face masks are all good and I would repurchase all of them, just wouldn’t go out of my way to do so. I do have another Neutrogena that will be used. My love for the skyn eye Gels may be waning as my skin seems to itch in spots now in a couple places after a few minutes of wear. Wondering if something was tweaked in the formula as these have always been 🥇gold for me.

I was pretty excited to try the GA foundation, as I am looking for a heavier foundation to even out my skin. This is pretty lightweight, and was a little cakey on my skin, so I was pretty disappointed. I wanted to like this but it’s just not meant to be.

Nope

Spoiler

The Guerlain was nice, but for the price, perhaps aimed more toward brand-loyal aficionados. I used to do everything Chanel-skincare, makeup, brushes-I didn’t even look at other brands. This is for the all-Guerlain girl😉This tiny 1 ml foil also lasted a respectable 10 days!

The bliss was nice but too drying, and the shampoo and conditioner were not good for my hair. It’s unfortunate because the scent was like cantaloupe to me! But it matted my hair and made it stringy and dried out, not good.
