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.

Trash day!

Spoiler

I was surprised by the Perricone cloud cream! I went out of town for a couple days and packed this sample, and when I got home my skin was in noticeably better shape. Not excited about the silicones in it, but I could see using it as an AM makeup prep. I'm resisting for now but my skin is like "YES BUY THIS" 😂

My husband and I both take the Hum melatonin now, so we go through a bottle of this every two weeks. I used to get the Costco brand but we were both getting measurably better sleep quality with this, so it's worth 20 bucks a month for the household.

The Fresh cleanser is nice enough and I like the cucumber-ish scent... I wouldn't rush out to buy it, but I have a giant bottle from the Fresh event so at some point I'll be into this for a while.

The Hum biotin definitely helped, but I'm going to try a bottle of the Costco brand next because I'm already giving Hum a lot of money 💸

This is my second bottle of the Sephora micellar water, but I've decided I like the La Roche-Posay one a lot better.

Finally retiring this ancient Aveda set! This was my fourth or fifth refill of the powder, but they reformulated this last time and I didn't like the new version (come to think of it, this was about the time I started buying my makeup at Sephora instead...) and this was my second lipstick in this shade. I spent a long time looking for a great brick red, which it is, but I don't find it flattering on me now so I decided not to make myself finish it. Terrific formula, though (Nourish Mint Sheer Mineral); it's a shame they discontinued it.

@fieldsofclover I’m curious about the HUM supplements. You take the melatonin supl. I wanted to ask you when do you take them ? How many minutes before going to bed? I’m asking because I have trouble falling asleep, my brain forgets that it has an OFF button somewhere 🤯

[fieldsofclover]

@keana1 I take one about 15-20 minutes before heading to bed, and then read for a little while until "the switch flips" and I get super sleepy. DH has a harder time winding down than I do, so he tries to take his a little earlier.

It definitely helps the falling-asleep part of things, but the most useful part for me is I'm naturally a light sleeper, and this helps me get a full night of sleep instead of waking up repeatedly. So now when I need to get up I'm well rested and not groggy and weird like before.

@fieldsofclover Thank you so much, I’m sold !

[Shosh85]

@fieldsofclover I think I’m going to cave in soon and buy some HUM!! I’ve been seeing it a lot lately and am super interested in a few of them. Glad to hear you got results! 

[bakeamuffin]

Great selection of used up products @fieldsofclover 😄 

it’s so awesome that you can buy Hum through Sephora, especially when the melatonin works for you and your mate, bonus points! 😄

I was pretty skeptical about Sephora (and Nordstrom, etc) carrying supplements, since they're an unfortunately large part of my health budget already... I went in thinking "these are probably a total scam but I'll try one thing, just to know". They've turned out to be really high quality and noticeably effective for me, so I keep trying new ones and am getting great results... I'm even saving some money now because the Uber Energy is identical to something else I had been buying for years, but it's cheaper *and* I get the promos 💪

[Shosh85]

Just a handful of trash to share with you guys.....😂  I seriously LOVE The Creme Shop masks, but that Farmacy mask definitely comes in close 2nd! 

❤️= Love/Repurchase

Very nice, @Shosh85!  I like the Farmacy that I tried, as well.

[Shosh85]

Thank you, @curlychiquita!! I’ll definitely be buying more of those Farmacy ones! 🤗👌

[curlychiquita]

Great job, @sparklekai!

These are my empties for now: Loves: DE Protini, OH Balancing Force Oil Control toner and the PTR cucumber gel eye patches. All of the others are Meh... I have already another Protini cream and since I have the TO 7% glycolic acid toner to finish I won’t be purchasing the OH toner for now but I love it and it smells so good!

[RaquelBT]

Hi @keana1,

How did you like the Olehenriksen Balancing Force™ Oil Control Toner? I've been loving that toner! I'm currently on my 4th bottle. 🙂 

Best Regards,

❤️ Raquel 

[keana1]

@RaquelBT I absolutely love it! It smells so good and if I didn’t have the TO 7% glycolic acid toner to finish I would have ordered 2 bottles of the OH because it’s OOS often! I like that it contains both AHA and BHA.

[RaquelBT]

@keana1 - I'm glad to hear that you love it as well! Ahhh, I hate that it's out of stock often! One time I hit rock bottom when I was out, so I purchased the Balance It All™ Essentials Set at my local Sephora store since it had the 2 oz/ 60 mL in this kit!

Best Regards,

❤️ Raquel 

[keana1]

@RaquelBT I’m very lucky, I haven’t suffered from acne in my whole life but I used the OH toner just to have an extra clean effect on my skin especially during the summer! In winter my skin is rather on the dryer side so I used it every other day. But I have to finish my TO one before reordering. I don’t want to waste it since it’s a good toner!
