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.

@mmmiu Wow you've been busy! Did you like the Skin Food mask? I keep looking at it but haven't bought one yet.

[mmmiu]

It’s ok, works well as a gentle exfoliation but didn’t really do much when i left it on my face. It’s also heavily fragranced

[fieldsofclover]

Bah, didn't know about the fragrance part. Thanks 💛

January empties:

YASSSSSS!

Spoiler

Cake Snow Woman - this was my fave scent of hand cream for a long time. They haven't made it in a while, but I found a tube shoved in the side of my couch so I finished it

Yuli Pure Mask - I really enjoy using this mask for detoxing my face but it does have a mung bean scent that I don't love. It's expensive in Canada so I'm undecided if I'll repurchase, but I do love the results

DeMamiel Restorative Cleansing Balm - a good balm cleanser with an invigorating scent and doesn't require too much scrubbing

Murad Hydrodynamic Quenching Essence - I love this stuff for hydrating during winter but it goes too fast

NARS Liquid Orgasm blush sample - finally a version of NARS Orgasm I can get on board with! I've already purchased a FS

Farmacy Eye Dew - my HG, repurchased many times

UD All Nighter - all around good setting spray

Farmacy Oil Control, Brightening Sheet Masks - Brightening mask is my HG sheet mask, but the Oil Control one is surprisingly good, too

Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair - really like how soft this leaves my hair

Rahua Shampoo - same as above

Noble Isle Willow Song Bath Gel - my favourite scent of bath gel, it smells like a meadow

PTR Cucumber Detox Mask - always keep on hand for overzealous acid peel usage

Siam Seas Mekha Cleanser - on the list of my favourite cleansers, it is both cleansing and exfoliating without being rough or harsh

Pura Botanicals Watermelon Mask - this was a really moisturizing overnight mask but I worry that continued use would clog my pores

Essence Quick Dry Drops - HG for quick drying nail polish

EHHHHHH:

Spoiler

Body Shop Mojito Body Butter - not as hydrating and not my scent

Mahalo Beauty Blooms steam - Received in a kit, but didn't seem to do much of anything

Aster & Bay Rosewater Mist - smells lovely, but contains Himalayan pink salt so every time I used it, it would make my lips salty

Farmacy Sleep Tight balm - still trying to finish what I have from Farmacy kits; works ok for my feet but I wouldn't buy this

PTR Sulphur Mask - found at the bottom of a drawer, dried up. Didn't love this as it was too harsh and dried out my skin

Tony Moly Aloe sheet mask - TM masks don't fit my face properly and I hate how sticky I feel after using them

OCC and Sephora eyeshadow brushes - brushes I've had for 5+ years; they've done the job but the OCC ones are shedding paint chips and ferrules and the Sephora brush came unglued. They've outgrown their usefulness

Le Metier de Beaute Ultra Hydration Eye Mask Duo - LMDB is ridiculously overpriced and these didn't do much of anything other than feel cooling so I would never repurchase these

Charlotte Tilbury lipstick samples - found while organizing; tried all to see if any of the shades were a fit - they weren't

DDG Extra Strength Peel Pads - too strong for my face but I use them on my feet instead whenever I get one

NOOOOOOOOOO WAY:

Spoiler

NIOD Mastic Must - more stuff found at the bottom of the drawer; not finished but being thrown out for clogging my pores every time I tried it

Alpha H Beauty Sleep Power Peel - same as above

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% - same as above, actually made my dark circles worse with usage

Kopari Coconut Body Glow - much more glittery than expected, and caused glitter flareups everywhere for days afterwards

Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream - scent was too strong and didn't realize until it was too late that it contained shimmer

[heartsmyface]

Ouhhhh, the kopari has glitter!!!   I’m in!   Lol, I didn’t know Nars had a liquid orgasm but of course they do!   

And lol, I don’t wanna know what’s tucked in the cracks of our couch!  Nothing good i’m sure!   @Mochapj

[Mochapj]

LOLOL @heartsmyface @fieldsofclover !

I had stronger feelings about the Kopari but I'm pretty sure the profanity filter would've flagged my post if I'd written them 😄

Hearts if you do try it, be prepared to find the gold glitter on clothes you weren't even wearing and items you didn't touch days after you've washed it off :S

[fieldsofclover]

@Mochapj Wow busy month! Good to know about the Kopari glow, that is definitely off my list now.

[sparklekai]

@Mochapj what do you like about the farmacy eye dew? its been on my list to try for a while!

[Mochapj]

@sparklekai I've been using it for 2 or 3 years (pretty much whenever they first came to Sephora) and I've found it to greatly diminish the appearance of my dark circles.

When I started using it, people stopped telling me I looked tired all the time. Although I didn't notice it at first, I did notice when I switched to another eye cream for a few months how much darker they looked again. I haven't tried anything else since, and I no longer need to use concealer to cover up dark circles.

[Susubee]

Is the Eye Dew the same as the Dew It All eye cream?

[fieldsofclover]

@Susubee  yes, it's just Bechdel-compliant now 😂

[Mochapj]

@Susubee yes, I think so. I believe they only recently changed the name.

[sparklekai]

@Mochapj first can we slap people who feel the need to tell others they look tired? second...adding to my loves list for my next purchase!

[Mochapj]

@sparklekai if only, LOL 😄

[fieldsofclover]

"Oh honey are you ok? you look tiiiiired"

"...tired of working with you, you're absolutely correct"

[heartsmyface]

😭😭 people stopped telling me i looked tired all the time 😭😭😭

youre really selling that eye cream though!  No concealer?  It’s on my list! @Mochapj

[Mochapj]

@heartsmyface yeah, it's been pretty good for me! I haven't needed undereye concealer in at least a year and a half... possibly more?

[fieldsofclover]

@Mochapj 😯😯😯

*adds to cart*

[michelleshops]

That poor beheaded brush....

[sparklekai]

this months empties are going to be coming in over the next couple of days.  i know that i can finish up a couple more skincare and makeup items in the next couple days - so for now we have body care and hair care.  i've decided for my own tracking that i'm going to separate products by things i would repurchase, things i would use again and things that are just a no period.

would repurchase

• o'keeffe's healthy feet foot cream (i'm going to have to repurchase this soon - despite my no buy - it saved my winter feet)
• devacurl super cream coconut styler
• chi silk infusion

would use again

• soft soap body butter heavenly vanilla body wash
• onyx professional nail polish remover
• body shop strawberry beautifying oil
• bath and body works warm vanilla sugar shower gel
• l'occitane amade supple skin oil (i know i'm probably in the minority here but i don't love this.  i like it, i'll use it but i ended up using half of this to treat my baby's cradle cap)
• living proof nourish oil

go away

• vatika naturals hot oil hair mask (super heavy in my hair while i was using it but didn't leave any conditioning effects)

[GG84]

@sparklekai I like the saying you have printed on your mirror. I too don't like the L'occitane, glad it had an alternate purpose for you!!!
