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.

[sister13]

Exactly! It is one of the best decisions I ever made. Some are just meh, but some are actually awful. Like, if it’s flaming under my eyes within an hour, it’s GONE! @fieldsofclover

Edit: lol, I meant “flaking” but they will also get tossed if they started flaming!

[fieldsofclover]

@sister13 Both are valid reasons 😂😂😂

The dark version of that Moroccanoil dry shampoo is my HG... I've repurchased it so many times 🧡💙

[Fernleaf]

Nice job getting through all of these, @sister13!  I enjoy seeing how good people are at emptying, and you did a great job!! 

[sister13]

I used to be terrible at finishing things, like I always wanted to still have everything! This thread actually helps quite a bit and I like to get through stuff now. It’s Not like I can’t buy more of what I end up loving! @Fernleaf

[fieldsofclover]

@sister13 Oh dear that's exactly why I'm here... I'm determined to learn to love panning/empties in 2018! Posting photos feels like getting credit for all the work 😂

@sister13 great minds think alike..Im doing the same thing with the mascara samples. 

Spoiler

And I'm in search of my HG foundation so I'm destashing the extra samples of the ones that don't cut it. 

[sister13]

Yes! @sonnydee, me too! I have had s hard time finding good foundations, but basically the same rule for foundation and perfume samples. If they don’t work and it’s obvious, get rid of them quickly!

Recently used up the mini, and I really enjoyed it. So I ended up buying the full-size.

@EmilyNewman . I love it too!  I currently have a deluxe size and my skin loves it.  It's so gentle, yet it cleanses well.  I use this in the morning.. love love love

Ohhhh @blackkitty2014, your Amore Pacific skincare products!!!  Great work on using them up - then again, the price tag alone might have been motivation enough to use 'em up.  Love Amore Pacific.

[blackkitty2014]

Yes for AmorePacific products!!!! I love their Time Response line except for the price @Anonymous.  I'd never wasted them 😉  Couple days ago, when i got back to my skincare routine after my sickness, i remember why i love them (instant pick me up, give my skin back its glow and help immediately with the big heavy eye bags ;))  But i have to confess, everytime i buy their products, my heart hurts. 😞 (I'm litterally crying inside)

[Anonymous]

@blackkitty2014, I'm so sorry you were sick.  I hope you are feeling 100% better. 

I know!!! The price for Amore Pacific is painful.  The products are amazing but they're pricey.

[sister13]

Nice job getting through these! How was the Zelens? So curious about that brand. @blackkitty2014

[blackkitty2014]

@sister13, the one in the picture there is Youth Concentrate Serum, 30ml.  I had also tried Power A High Potency Vitamin A Treatment Drops, 30ml.  I love them both.  I got them half price when Space NK discontinue carrying the brand couple months ago.  I did not know about it at the time otherwise i would double, tripple stock these.  They are kinda pricey at regular price though.  They are probably around La Mer price range but i think they are much much nicer.  

[sister13]

Thanks @blackkitty2014,  Caroline Hirons rates them very highly, so one of these days, maybe I’ll pick up some. I do have the PHA peel pads from a CH/Cult Beauty Box, and I really love them. Maybe she will add some Zelens to a future box again!

I just finished up my 2nd bottle of  100% Pure Jojoba Oil.  Only $7.99 for 4 Fl. Oz.  This bottle lasted me about a year.  It's great to melt your makeup, or I sometimes use it to top off my skin care routine (only need 2-3 drops for that). I love it!

[Sansara]

Love it and hate it. Shampoo is really great for sensitive scalp, but hair looks bad, like never washed.

Never again. This gel contains such amount of alcohol, I got drink before it absorbed 🙂 overall, the organic pharmacy was big disappointing.

This was kinda meh

Loves, new discoveries.

End of the year empties. Overall, I feel very good about using my stash in 2017, specially when I looked at all the pictures with empties.Loves, tried before. Oskia is my number one cleanser.

[Anonymous]

@Sansara, mixed reviews for the Vitabrid shampoo, huh?  Would you repurchase? 

Thanks for the info on the alcohol content in The Organic Pharmacy product - I've contemplated picking up some of their products from time to time, but if the alcohol content is that high, I'll pass.

[Sansara]

@Anonymous Not gonna repurchase shampoo  for $35 I will try to find something better (I hope).

Alcohol in skincare is no-no for my sensitive skin, but many people are ok with it. even I don`t know, why manufacturers still using it - it damages skin badly and there are another ingredients to replace it. 

[Anonymous]

Ahhh, I see.  I didn't realize the shampoo was $35 - whoa.
