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.

@Buootiful

I sprayed a little in my hand and then patted it on; I never ever think about using a spray on my face during the day, so I put them in my routine as a couple of layers of essence instead to use them up 😊

Buootiful · ‎04-03-2019

Ahh, Thanks for the tip! @RGbrown 🙂

@RGbrown I loved reading your thoughts! Thanks for sharing!

this is a neat thread!

I love the Buffet and Dry Shampoo, so I've repurchased. I've bought the one #lipstories colour, and I've purchased the bottles of Ouai shampoo and conditioner. I want to buy the Shiseido eye contour cream and the Caudalie Vinopure. I purchased the Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Cream before finishing this little sampler. I liked the Origins Plantscription eye cream, but it didn't wow me, so I can't see myself purchasing. The Ren Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask caused hives, so that's a no go.

@l8totheparty I absolutely love the MOROCCANOIL - Dry Shampoo Light Tones.

It smells amazing!

Best,
Rebecca

RNGesusPls · ‎03-11-2019

@l8totheparty yikes hives, hope your skin is doing better now

l8totheparty · ‎04-02-2019

Oooh yes, I stopped using it and my skin got better!

thundercatsho · ‎03-11-2019

I’m so sorry you got hives from that mask!!! It’s very STRONG, I use the toner and have to dilute it with water!

RebeccaBT · ‎03-11-2019

@l8totheparty Amazing empties! I love the smell of the MOROCCANOIL - Dry Shampoo Light Tones.It is one of my favorites!

Best,

FEBRUARY EMPTIES! Loves: Dr Teals coconut oil epsom salt, batiste dry shampoo, drunk elephant TLC babyfacial, milk makeup kush mascara, lancôme glow subtil silky creme highlighter in glowing lights 06. Dislikes: dove shower foam, morphe makeup sponge (omg this is the hardest sponge i only used it a week and it’s going in the trash) * everything else was good and i enjoyed using * close up of the lancôme cream highlighter i used up completely and the YSL lipgloss i finally finished!

l8totheparty · ‎03-11-2019

I've heard about the batiste dry shampoo. I'll have to try it one day!

l8totheparty · ‎03-11-2019

@cianni I have blonde hair, but will go looking for it next time I'm in Shoppers. 😊

cianni · ‎03-11-2019

@l8totheparty the batiste is so good! There are definitely amazing higher end ones (the living proof is up there for me), but sometimes I go through phases where my hair just needs refreshing more often so I can’t justify the price when I’m going through that amount. Enter batiste - the product is amazing, smell is great, priced well, I could go on. If you have dark hair I highly recommend the dark toned one. It’s so good that sometimes I literallly let it all absorb instead of brushing it out, and you can’t tell!

RNGesusPls · ‎03-11-2019

@karap03 impressive pans!

RebeccaBT · ‎03-06-2019

@karap03 Awesome empties! A lot of my lip products this month look like yours. Now is the fun part... Restocking 🙂

Best,
Rebecca

missjeanie · ‎03-06-2019

Great empties @karap03 ! I find using up a lipgloss so hard!

flamingolegs · ‎03-04-2019

The second half of February empties. A lot of full sizes this time around. Now that they are gone I'll be making a significant dent into the deluxe samples stockpile that I have--my New Years resolution was to bring that down to a manageable amount. As of right now I need the equivalent of three FFF boxes to store them all. :eek:

First is loves:
Love!

HUM NUTRITION - Beauty zzZz Sleep Support Supplement

I use this a few times a week when I know I'm going to have a problem shutting down my brain to go to sleep. Twenty minutes after taking it, I'm sleeping!

DRUNK ELEPHANT - C-Firma™ Day Serum

Believe the hype! I'm going to use up my stock and then will reorder--this is a Holy Grail item for sure.

SEPHORA COLLECTION - Soft Touch Cotton Pads

I really like these as they have one side with a slight exfoliating property and another that is nothing but soft. They don't shed fibers, either.

I really, really like the Marajo hair products, but it looks like Sephora has discontinued them. Sad about that, as I was going to order them this month.

As a body wash the L'Occitane is nothing special, but the aroma is amazing. Very relaxing. Would make a nice bubble bath as well.

CAUDALIE - Vinoperfect Radiance Serum

I've been using this at night before my night cream. I'm not sure it's really having much of an effect, I think I'll learn over the next month or so as I use some different daytime products now that the C-Firma is gone. Jury is out but so far I can't say anything bad about it. I do like the rest of the lines, so saying yes for now.

Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo 8.5 oz/ 250 mL
Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Conditioner 8.5 oz/ 250 mL

I haven't been a a huge fan of some of the other Moroccan Oil products but I do like these. I'm not sure I'd buy them only because there are a couple products I prefer, but still they are very nice.

Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultimate Strength Hand Salve 5 oz/ 150 mL
The Holy Grail of hand cream. There is none better. I've tried them all.

These are OK--Would use but not buy--reasons in Spoiler.

Bumble and bumble Super Rich Hydrating Hair Conditioner 8.5 oz/ 250 mL
and Shampoo

These were just too drying for my hair. It took over a year to finish them because I had to use more moisturizing products on alternating days. They would probably be great for someone with normal rather than dry hair. They have a very light scent, so would be good for people who don't like heavily perfumed products.

The Karyng face wash had a nice lemon scent but I found it to be drying. Would probably work well for someone with oily skin.

The Crabtree & Evelyn was yet another bar from a hotel that I like the scent of so brought it home for hand soap.

I adore the scent of the L'Ocittane shampoo, but it is way too drying for my hair to use more than a few times a week.

Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Super Moisture Shampoo for Damaged Hair 16 oz/ 473 mL

This was the polar opposite, very, very thick and almost too much moisture. If I didn't use a conditioner with it my hair felt dry. If I did, it felt very heavy.

No strong opinion either way on the R+CO, which also looks like Sephora has dropped it. I did like the lather, but didn't feel it was anything special. I remember liking the scent more than I thought I would.

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks 6 x Eye Masks

These felt very uncomfortable to use. The area under my eyes didn't look any different but did feel moisturized after use. I probably should have put this with the no's. I definitely would never buy it.

L'Occitane Cleansing And Softening Refillable Shower Oil With Almond Oil 8.4 oz/ 250 mL

The scent on these is a bit much but it does leave my skin feeling really moisturized. I wouldn't buy it but would use it if I got it as a gift or in a sampler or whatever.<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">BUMBLE AND BUMBLE - Super Rich Conditionerand ShampooThese were just too drying for my hair.  It took over a year to finish them because I had to use more moisturizing products on alternating days.  They would probably be great for someone with normal rather than dry hair.

Yuck!

No spoiler needed, this product smelled like rancid fish oil and went on like vegetable oil. I found if I shook it well before using the smell wasn't quite as bad (masked by the patchouli) but it was still unusable. I tried it for about 10 days before giving up. In the bottom five beauty products I've ever tried.
