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.
@maci3434 Excellent empties. I keep hearing great things about the Summer Fridays lip balm. I have not tried it yet but recently got it in the Sephora Favorites Gleamy Dreamy Makeup Set
I personally collect a lot of lip balms I have about 30 of all diffrent brands but the summer fridays lip balms are definitely in my top 2
Ooooh, look at all these beauties @maci3434! Excellent job. I hear ya on the Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH™ Peptide Lash Enhancing Serum 0.10 oz/ 3 mL. It gives some great results but you pay a price for it, for sure. I'm currently working my way through a tube and looking forward to thicker, longer lashes!
Nearly two months since my last batch, so I've got a big pile today! YTD 190
Sheet masks, mostly fine. I didn't like the bubble one, the serum was oddly thick/slimy/gooey feeling...the bubbles didn't pop, just thickened up into a weird texture, like honey crossed with marshmallow fluff, and I couldn't wait to wash it back off.
It's excellent stuff! Works pretty dang close to as quickly as plain acetone, but it's not nearly as drying.
Ahhhh, beautiful empties @RGbrown! That Zoya remover is amazing - you introduced me to it and it's my favorite nail polish remover. Whoa, you finished a matte top coat? Brava!! That's impressive. Is the Butter London matte top coat one you would repurchase or is there another brand you like more?
Remove+ is some amazing stuff, love it!
For mattes, I've tried Butter and OPI. I did a test mani at one point a couple of years ago to see if one was better than the other, and literally could not tell the difference between them. I got curious recently and read the labels on both of them, and it turns out they're exactly the same formula (no wonder I couldn't tell them apart lmao), so I just combined both half empty bottles and tossed the obnoxious-to-use Butter mini 😂
Good researching work and smart idea to transfer the matte top coats into one bottle @RGbrown! I have this thought that I have a mini China Glaze matte top coat somewhere. Making a note to do some digging - it may be part of the bin I kept with me when I packed the others away for a little bit. I do have this recollection of seeing it recently and thinking "oh, I should try this..." 😀
Great empties @RGbrown I am a fan of the scent of Tula's classic face wash 🙃 I like the powdery-ness of it. I can totally see it not being everyone cup of tea and to be fair, it is pretty heavily scented.
Baby powder is near the top of my most disliked scents of all time, unfortunately 🤨 I dunno if they changed the scent or my nose changed, but when I first started using it 2-3 years ago, it didn't smell like powder to me...everyone else said it did, but I caught a weird herbal scent that I also wasn't keen on, but I liked the cleanser enough to power through my olfactory displeasure and use it anyway. But now my last two tubes have been very strong with the baby powder scent and I wish I could go back to the weird herbal scent lol. But I love the cleanser!
I knooo alot of people that really dislike that powdery smell @RGbrown it is a super solid cleanser thou. I wouldn't be able to wiegh in on any changes, I only discovered this last year. I wonder what changed in it or in your nose scent perceptors. 🧐 I love that it is so good you power through the unpleasantness. Maybe it'll change again, hopefully to something you can tolerate or even enjoy 😉 🤞
I have a perfume I love with definite powdery notes, so many people don't care for it by but I'm sold 🤩
YTD 143 🗑️
I've been bad about not coming back and posting my notes (I really should get better about that), but I am always happy to answer any questions if I can (I've also been bad about letting my empties pile up too long lol, so I may not remember much about some of these, whoops 😬)
Notes below!
Sheet masks, all good except Global Beauty Care hydrogels. Another Dollar Tree experiment, big time fail. They smell like burning rubber, are way too thick and heavy to even consider doing anything besides laying down while wearing them, and are just wadded up in the pouch, coming out a wrinkly mess that won't lay flat. Don't waste your time and money on these; I tried two, and just tossed the third out of frustration. I also got a couple of non-gel sheet masks from the brand, and they're actually ok (I think one was in my last batch of empties, and I still have one waiting to be used). I go to DT like once a year, so they won't become a staple for me or anything, but I'd be willing to pick up a couple more of those next time I go (if they have them again, DT is always hit or miss on what they stock...I was actually hoping to find some Freeman sheet masks I'd gotten a couple of years ago, but no luck there)
Look at the bevy of beauties!! Nice work @RGbrown. 👊🏼 You went through a lot of the Philosophy cleanser. Wow! How’s the Matrix dry shampoo (if you remember)?
Somehow I managed to accumulate something like 60 packets of that philosophy cleanser over the years, but set them off to the side and forgot all about them, so I've been doing my best to use them up. When my bottle in the shower gets low, I dump a bunch back in it all at once lol. Almost done though...currently working through my last few!
The Matrix is ok. It does a decent job of making my hair look much better, but I can only use it once per wash cycle or else it leaves me looking flaky. I'm trying to cut back on how much dry shampoo I use anyway, so it wasn't the end of the world, but I have better faves (Redken Deep Clean, and Matrix Biolage All in One)
@RGbrown you finished the e.l.f.! What a shame it was discontinued. I have about half a bottle left. Have you found anything to replace it?
I've got a mini of the Peach & Lily essence going now, and have a bottle of the elf essence they released after this one in the cabinet as well. Pretty sure I've got 2 or 3 others to try too lol, really can't remember what all is in the cabinet right this second. I hate it when favorites go away!
@RGbrown I've stayed away from the P&L due to the eucalyptus. What's the name of the e.l.f. essence that came out after the Water Treatment? I think there are too few essences out there in general and even less good ones. The e.l.f. and Paula's Choice (loved that one!) Are the only ones I ever liked. I'm thinking about trying Good Molecules at some point.
Ahhhhh, I was thinking what I picked up was closer to the original than it really is (it's been so long since I bought it that I forgot the details)...looks like I've got the Pure Skin Toner, which isn't as similar as I had been thinking. Still looks like a good product though, several ceramides and glycolic acid, no added fragrance.
