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.

@ellem24  The Dove spray really is something, it literally leaves no white marks at all.  Finally someone figured it out. 🙂

[ellem24]

@darkiceis yes!!! absolutely love it 🙌🏼

Wow you are a masking fiend, @MoniDJ lol! Glad to hear you liked that Pomegranate one, I am waiting on one in the mail and don't know what to expect, so thank you for the heads up:)

[Shosh85]

@MoniDJ Wow! Great job, that's a lot of stuff you used up!! So happy you liked The Creme Shop masks – I have 5 packs of both the Pineapple and Peaches & Cream ones that I still haven't tried yet – even more excited to try them now!! 🙌🤗

[Shelbstirr]

I had some strong opinions this month -

LOVES: IGK First Class Charcoal Detox Dry Shampoo 6.3 oz/ 288 mL and NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer with Hydrating Medium Coverage Vanilla (I bought both of these in the VIB sale), Benefit Cosmetics BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara Intense Pitch Black and Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Extra Strength Daily Peel Pads 30 Treatments + 5 Bonus

UNDECIDED: I need to try out a few more of my samples of the primer Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer 0.7 oz/ 20 g.  I liked the moisturizer but maybe it wasn't quite hydrating enough BOSCIA - Cactus Water Moisturizer

VERY MUCH DID NOT LIKE: these did nothing FIRST AID BEAUTY - Facial Radiance Pads. I could not get the liquid eyeliner to draw a smooth line, kept skipping KAT VON D - Tattoo Liner

[Shosh85]

@Shelbstirr Nice job!! I looove those DDG peels as well – it has become a staple for me!  👍

[Shelbstirr]

@Shosh85 I'll be sad when my supply of freebies runs out

[darkiceis]

Loves (not sure what happened the rest of the pomegranate wipes, I had several more empty packs. I guess someone here threw them out 🙂 )

No thank you

[Shosh85]

Just a handful of trash to share with you guys 😉

 The Creme Shop towelettes I'd say we're pretty average – it had a nice light rose scent and it took off regular makeup ok, just not waterproof makeup like it says.

The Fresh Cleanser has great results, I just didn't love the smell.

[Beth530]

My August empties, not as many products as I would have like to use up, but I decluttered way more than I finished.LovesLikesHates or just didn’t work out for me

[melissabt]

@Beth530,

❤️ the Bumble and Bumble Shampoo and Conditioner! It is one of my favorites, especially now that my hair is bleached.

[Beth530]

@melissabt

You should try the ouai treatment mask.  It has done wonders for my hair since I’ve had highlights put in.

[melissabt]

@Beth530,

Thanks for the suggestion! I will need to check it out:)

Empties from the last few months. 

Loves and repurchases:

Spoiler

Boscia Luminizing Black Charcoal Mask, Julique Rose Water, Aveeno body wash, Skintimate Shave Gel, Biolage Keratinedose Renewal Spray, Secret Deodorant, Bare Minerals Prep Step, Korres Wild Rose 24 Hr Moisturizing & Brightening cream, Leaders Tundra Cranberry Anti-Aging and Caribbean Coconut Calming Masks, Dr Jart Soothing Hydra Mask, Sephora Coconut, Revive Collagen, and Tony Moly I'm Real Olive Masks, Bite Agave Lip Balm

The body wash, shaving cream, deodorant and Origins charcoal mask are all staples for me. I'm really sad the Bare Minerals seems to have been discontinued. It was a great physical sunscreen that played well with makeup. The Boscia mask makes my skin feel great, just wish you didn't have to apply such a thick layer for it to peel off nicely. The Origins Drink Up overnight mask and Bite Agave Lip Balm are new to me, but I do really like both of them. I really enjoyed all of these sheet masks, but I was surprised how much I LOVED the Sephora coconut one.

Ordinary Buffet, Secret Deodorant, Not Your Mother's Clean freak Dry Shampoo, KeratinComplex Color Care shampoo, Boscia Detoxifying Black Charcoal cleanser, Coola Sport Face White Tea sunscreen, Sephora Algae sleeping mask, Mamonde Pomegranate Flower Lab Essence Mask, Ulta cotton squares, DDG Original Alpha Beta Peel Pads

I really like this deodorant formula, but not this scent. The dry shampoo is so-so, but I don't like the original scent. Boscia cleanser is disappointing compared to other cleansers of theirs. I like the idea and price of the Sephora sleeping masks, but the un-re-sealable container is dumb. I repurchased the cotton squares, but I'm not in love with them. DDG peel pads, don't seem to be the HG for me that they are for others.

Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask, Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner

The Bliss mask bubbles decently, but I wouldn't call it a mask. It also was pretty drying. Turns out, the Dermalogica doesn't play well with my skin.

[Shosh85]

@snoflakefaerie Nice! Looks like you used up a bunch of stuff!! 👌 I have mixed feelings about the Bliss mask. I felt it did a good job cleaning, felt refreshing and made my skin nice & soft, but i agree that it was pretty drying and it really doesn't seem like a mask😉 I just ordered a couple of those LEADERS masks – I'm happy to see you like them!! 🤗

[eshoe]

Wow your ❤️‘s list has many of my long-time staples...the Jurlique I ADORE, the Korres, the Leaders masks, and the Sephora coconut sheet mask-so many on the masking challenge love that particular one! Belif makes the best bubbling mask I think, have you tried that one? I have this Bliss, and like it, but the Belif is sooo good, @snoflakefaerie.

[snoflakefaerie]

I haven't tried the Belif one; I'll have to check it out @eshoe

August empties

These are all staples that I would repurchase except for the Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream. My eye lids can get really dry and scaly during the winter. While I know the Banana Bright didn't cause it, it doesn't help as well as my other favorites. It's fine during the summer and is excellent at depuffing but I've decided not to buy it again. I got this one as gratis, FYI.

Lush Snow Fairy- Too drying. Not sure what I expected, as I knew the ingredients were mostly sulfates.
IGK Beach Club Texture Spray- I use these kinds of products for volume at the roots. This one was just OK, but it worked best on wet hair. It was a little sticky for my taste and I prefer to use these on dry hair.
Tatcha The Deep Cleanse- This has little scrubbies in it but they don't do much. It's a bit drying, but nothing the rest of my morning routine couldn't fix. I just didn't see enough of a difference in my skin.
Lancome Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara- I liked this for the most part. It doesn't withstand excessive heat and humidity though, and I have other mascaras that do. Even still, the smudging wasn't too noticeable when it happened.
Clean Rain- I'm terrible at describing scents, I just wish had a stronger scent that lasted like my other favorite from Clean.

Both of these did nothing for me. they didn't defrizz, detangle, nothing.

[Shosh85]

@suzyo Awesome job with empties!! That TCFS Coconut Ceramide mask is one of my most favorites!!! 👌🤗

What is the little rectangle bottle at the top left of your loves, @suzyo?
