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.

Three Advent calendars and two other gift sets!  My boss, a coworker, my husband, and an aunt, all got me L'Occitane, plus I had bought myself an Advent calendar because I thought my husband had forgotten!  I am a big fan, and am never without a mini-size hand cream in my bag, sometimes two--plus one in my pocket, the car...  It's definitely a fool proof gift for people to get me--and they come in all different price points. 🙂 

All but one had the Almond as well, love that!

Meh/Nope

[HelenBT]

Hi @suzyo,

I recently got the Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Sheet Mask 1 x 0.68 oz/ 20 mLin the Skincare Wonderland favorites for Sephora inside JCPenney. I've heard so many good reviews and I'm so excited to try it. How did you like it?

-Helen

[suzyo]

@HelenBT It was kinda borderline meh/like. I didn't get any noteworthy results, but I'd be willing to try it again when my skin is less dry, like the summertime.

I just opened my mini Bum Bum cream. It smells soooooo good! I thought I loved the smell of the Soap and Glory Smoothie Star buttercream, but that Bum Bum cream smells heavenly!

October Empties. Staple product was the Tropics Jamaican Black Castor Oil. My hair loves it. Product loves for the month were: Sephora Watermelon Cleansing Wipes, Too Faced Cooling Matte Perfecting Primer, Cutex One-Step Pads, Juice Up Kale Mask, Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield SPF 30, Burts Bees lip mask, and both pumpkin candles. Two products I will not repurchase were: elf eye masks and Lush Charity Pot. The eye masks showed no improvement and the Charity Pot body lotion left a residue on my skin everytime. I liked the idea of the cause, but I washed my hands every single time after application. Honestly it was disappointing.

A little morning trash:

The Mamonde (AmorePacific brand) is part of a set. It’s good but there are other masks that do what it does for <$7. The Mediheal Eggy Mask was awesome. Haven’t posted about it on the masking thread but 💗💗💗.  The Laneige 4 Water Pocket Mask is so thin and comfy. The Ariul Juice Cleanse Mask I have already reordered in the newer version that comes with a dry sheet mask that has vitamin C dots. I ordered a set that also comes with a Raspberry & Lentil and a Kale & Grapefruit mask. The Burt’s Bees Lip crayon in Sedona Sands is my daily lippie. I’ve got a few backups😉.

Good

Spoiler

Nothing terribly wrong with any of these. Some are repeats (Tata Harper, Rose Face Mask, Skyn Iceland Hydrogels). The Dr.Jart+ Mask is apparently a reformulation and I prefer the old one. The Mitomos Japanese Mask was very hydrating but had trouble sticking to my chin which was a little annoying. But it worked!

Probably not again

Spoiler

The Crème Shop made my eyes water and when I read the ingredients, there was alcohol not too far down the list🙄. To be fair, I’ve only tried the A’Pieu Steam Mask once, it didn’t warm up as much as the other steam mask I use. It could have been a fluke, I have a couple more to try so it may show back up on my ❤️ list.

Nice empties from last month @MoniDJ

[suzyo]

@MoniDJ How did you manage to finish the Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cleanser? That stuff went bad on me so quick! In fact, I'm almost positive that's why it was discontinued, lol.

[MoniDJ]

@suzyo I used it up quickly because I tend to use a lot more cleanser than what is actually needed. This small tube was gone in no time.

[eshoe]

@MoniDJ you’ve got some great masks here! I have that ElishaCoy Brightening one planned for this week so I’m pretty excited to see that you give it a 👍🏼. Love The Oozoo, have you tried the Rose capsule one or the Aurora yet? 💗 that Peach slices Hydrate mask as well!

[MoniDJ]

@eshoe This was my first The Oozoo mask, but I'll definitely be trying more since I really liked this one. I'll add the rose and aurora to my list.

[eshoe]

The In-Shot Mask Nutrient is another good one from The Oozoo, @MoniDJ. I have the Silk Cocoon in my stash yet to try in addition to a couple of other In-Shot style masks. Love the brand overall!

Just a little handful of trash. 😉 It's taken me so long to post this, I now already have another trash pile waiting to have it's glamour shots! Haha!

Spoiler

Likes:

The Creme Shop Wipes – Out of the ones I've tried, these are my favorite so far, but still would consider these to be pretty average. None of them seem to really remove waterproof mascara like they claim, but this one does do a little better and doesn't leave my face dried out.

Loves:

SEPHORA Mini Watermelon Wipes -They smell wonderful, have a good thickness and these mini ones are a perfect size for my purse!

Likes – almost loves:

YTTP Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream - I love everything about this except the smell. Not bad, and it is pretty light, just not a fan of the mushroom scent. It really does a great job moisturizing (even a little better than the Kale Cream) and I love the consistency of it, so I would definitely use it again, just wouldn't repurchase.

KORRES Greek Yoghurt Cream Cleanser – No problems with it or anything, not quite a love just because it didn't seem like anything special to me. It had good results, but nothing outstanding and did nothing more than other cleansers that are cheaper can do. This is another one I'd definitely use again, just not repurchase.

IT COSMETICS Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream – I have always stated I loved this, but I really just almost love it. I love the amount of coverage, the consistency of it, I love that it has SPF 50 and I love that it helps keep my skin hydrated more than all the other foundations I've tried. I just don't love that the lightest shade (fair) is actually not light enough for my skin tone. I have always mixed it with a little bit of a lighter foundation, used lightening drops and have also used self tanner to make my face just slightly darker. I'm starting to get tired of that extra step and since I doubt complaining to the company about developing lighter shade options will actually do anything, I am now very actually searching around for other foundations. 🤷‍♀️

Stocking up on the minis @Shosh85! Love the coconut ones after the gym. Just can't use them on my eyes (they irritate me just enough to make it uncomfortable) have you tried the TCS collagen wipes yet?

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee I don't think I've tried the Collagen ones yet. Do you like them? When I was at TJ Maxx the other day I found some baking soda ones...... I didn't end up getting them, because I've heard both good and bad things about baking soda on your skin and wasn't sure about it yet, haha! Have you tried those ones?

[sonnydee]

@Shosh85 not the baking soda ones, no. I have 3 opened right now 🤣 collagen, coconut & micellar. The collagen ones smell really good to me. The Micellar, i xan smell the alcohol in them so i try to use those sparingly. But none can really take off mascara all the way off. I finally found the witch hazel ones!🍾
