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.
Good on ya for getting through those samples! I'm nearing the end of my sample stash. I've accumulated more samples since I started my own little challenge but I'm not counting those.
Empties for May and June. Loves:
WHAT KIDS is possibly the best name I've ever seen for a bath bomb 😄 😄 😄
😄 it was a gift from a friend who thought I could use a break. It was nice enough but more a novelty item than something I would repurchase. I find Epsom salts and essential oils are more effective.
I know I'm a little late to the party but I somehow managed to get through a ton of products during the month of June!! 🙂

These are saved up since new Year's so it's going to be a bit of a long post!

Gucci II perfume - this is my fav. I'm on my 8th or 9th bottle of this and have been wearing it for probably well over a decade.
Shu Uemura Porefinist cleansing oil - Also a staple. Have repurchased multiple times. It does a great job removing makeup and the large bottle lasts a very long time. It's lightweight and I much prefer it to the Tatcha Cleansing oil I'm trying to finish up now.
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume and Deodorant - love both of these! Also a staple and have also repurchased many, many times. The scent is light and fresh and the deo does a great job.
Klorane dry shampoo - the ONLY dry shampoo I like and I've tried lots. I don't find the smell overwhelming. Each of these is a different variety - one is the color tint one, the other is the original and the third one with the green cap is the oily hair one. All three are fantastic and do a great job. I'm currently digging the tinted one and thats the one I repurchased because it's just easier but the oily hair one was amazing for when I had seriously oily hair.
Eve Lom Radiance Lift Cream - a fantastic moisturizer. Already repurchased. I love the Eve Lom line in general and this cream didn't disappoint. It's smooth, easily absorbed and sits nicely under makeup. Leaves the skin plumped but not puffy and does do a bit of lifting.
Chanel Hydra Beauty Lip Balm - staple. Already repurchased. This is not the lip balm for people with seriously dry lips. I like it because my lips are only a bit dry and it is not too goopy, has no smell and no taste so I enjoy it at night. I like it for under liquid lipsticks as well since it can be applied very lightly and not mess with the consistency of the liquid lipsticks.
Chanel Hydra Beauty Gel Cream - The smell, the texture - this moisturizer is divine and I've repurchased many times. It is very moisturizing and does a great job under makeup.
Armani Eyes to Kill Classic Mascara - It's one of my favorites for sure but it does flake by the end of the day unfortunately. With that said, it does give a beautiful eye opening effect so I do love it.
Lancome Hypnose Mascara - a classic mascara that just works. Nothing over the top and it doesn't amaze me but it's reliable.
Chantecaille Longest Lash Mascara - this mascara is absolutely stunning and stayed wet for a very long time so I used it for quite a while. Cons though is that I didn't notice any lash growth and that it's a very wet formula so there is no avoiding q-tips for cleanup but with that said it's a really great formula. Doesn't irritate my eyes or my contacts and does a beautiful job volumizing the lashes. The price point is just so steep. I rebought just the faux cils mascara thinking it's the same formula minus the growth factor but it's just not quite the same.
By Terry Ombre Blackstar shadow stick in Frozen Quarts - I'm on my third one of these and already repurchased. It's just the easiest quick makeup item that I use constantly. Pink and Shimmery and not over the top. Beautiful, neutral everyday look.
BeautyBlender - I love my BB but this one molded awfully quick. Unfortunately prior to that happened, I bought the pro one in black and now I'm worried all the time because if that one molds too I won't be able to see it...
Like, might repurchased
Amrani Crema Nera - just a basic heavy duty moisturizer. Not sure the price tag is justified though.
Biotherm Cleansing Balm - this was a good makeup remover but it didn't do anything special to my skin like other cleansing balms do. At the price point, it's a great buy but nothing too special.
Armani Eyes to Kill Excess - this was dramatic and a bit clumpy but it gave the eyelashes the nicest curl!
Urban Decay Dew Me - I liked Dew me a lot and go the replacement Chill but Chill is just not doing it for me. It's not as dewy and it's just not keeping my makeup on any longer. Anyone else find the same?
Alterna Bamboo Volume Conditioner - I finished the shampoo a while ago but I usually use much less of the conditioner. I do occasionally repurchase this and it's not but not a must have. I'm really into John Masters Organics at the moment.
Lancer the method Polish and Nourish - liked both of these a lot and repurchased the full size but somehow fell out of love with them in the full size. Nothing really to justify the price tag.
Oribe Shampoo for Beautiful Color - this was an impulse purchase after I got my hair balayaged since I spent a fortune and wanted to keep it looking nice the longest. This shampoo is a bit of a mystery to me. It smells amazing, definitely helps the color keep but it doesn't leave my hair shiny or clean looking. But my hairdresser used it on me in the salon and it was incredibly shiny. Go figure!
Bliss Steep Clean - an OK cleansing mask. Took me forever and a day to finish it because I just didn't find I was reaching for it.
Neutrogina Body Clear Body Wash - I used to adore the scrub version of this but then it was discontinued so I started getting this. I don't use this all the time but just once in a while and mostly because I like the scent of it. I totally do miss the scrub though 😞
Vaseline Spray Moisturizer - the aloe vera smell is great and light and the spray function of this is great. I've gone through 3 or 4 bottles and towards the middle the sprayer almost always becomes much less fine and annoying so I hven't repurchased.
Not for me
Benefit They're Real - this does nothing to my eye lashes except make them spidery.
Benefit Roller Lash - same spidery effect, I just don't get it.
Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara - this one was ok but nothing special. Would use again if I got it as a freebie but wouldn't spend the money on it.
Estee Lauder Lash Primer Plus - not a bad primer but nothing special.
Almay Once Coat Multi-Benefit - this was a freebie that was thrown in with my contact lens purchase with the idea being that it was great for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. And after trying it once, I figured out what - it does nothing!
Max Factor False Lash Effect - bought this while on a trip to London because it was raved about on YouTube. It ended up being pricy for a drugstore mascara - over $20CAD i think and I don't know what the hype is about. It's about as natural as they come and nothing special at all.
Purity Cleanser - I don't like this for the face at all because its far too drying but used it up cleaning my brushes.
THat Shu oil bottle!!! I like pretty packaging so I'd probably be pouring the replacement oil into the old bottle, hehehe.
So true, their limited edition ones are soooo pretty!!!

My first empties post! These are from January through May. I kept meaning to post monthly, but I never felt like I had enough to make it worth it. Oops. At least I'm doing it now and tossing all the empty bottles! Woohoo.
Loves (have or would repurchase)
Mehs (used up, unsure about purchasing full size, would use again as sample)
Nopes (wouldn't repurchase, probably wouldn't even reuse if it was free)

These are actually all of my March - April empties:
Loved items, previously repurchased or willing to repurchase:
+ Alaffia EverDay Coconut Body Wash that was accidently thrown out
Mehhiish:
The Donkey Milk & Benton snail masks I have several more to go, I liked them but I can never makeup my mind on masks on the first try.
Ah! The powders in the back aren't included, shoulda moved them!
Not for me:
I really like the Buxom glosses, it's just this really pale nude color. I didn't like it against my complexion, made look very sallow.
