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.
@itsfi Ha. The body wash work-through; I get it! I'm cycling through washes too, so I just got back to the Body Shop Hemp oil. To me, the scent is what I think a hemp hut would smell like. Mildly of dried grass, mildly patchouli. It's definitely on the musky side, not sweet or fresh or green floral. If musk is not for you, I'd probably skip it. 😉 Will definitely let you know when I try the TJ oil. (It may be a while. I've banned myself from buying any more shower gels atm! 😂)
Slowly but steadily trudging along; last year I hit 370 and didn't think I'd come close to it this year, but it looks like I will meet or even beat that after all. YTD 355!
BBW Candle (Grateful, aka Apple Cardamom & Crisp): fantastic spicy apple scent, true love.
FAB Ultra Repair Cream Pink Grapefruit: I like FAB cream, and used to love this scent, but suddenly I can't stand the smell of either of these tubes. Perhaps they've gone bad, or else my nose has changed, not sure which, but these are declutters.
Hempz Sandalwood & Apple lotion: I adore the scent of this one! A warm, woodsy apple, not sweet, not too dry either. The lotion itself is nice as well, plenty moisturizing for a daily hand or body lotion for me.
Murad Prebiotic 4-in-1 Cleanser: This was a nice cleanser, not too drying, but cleansed my oily skin well. I have one more I'm working to finish off. I won't buy it as I have plenty of cheaper options that I'd purchase first, but this falls into the "would use again" category.
Lip Smacker Dr Pepper balm: just a basic staple, a cheap daily balm that's a true love.
CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion: I love some tubes of this, but sometimes I get one like this one that feels a little slick to me, almost like it doesn't soak in. I dunno what that's about, but it reinforces my belief that my fave CeraVe moisturizer is the regular lotion, not this specific facial one. I've got a few more of these, Ulta loves to drop them in multiple gwp bags all the time, so I'll use them up, but I'll stick to buying the other one when I need more.
Clinique Fresh Pressed Vitamin C: neat concept where you mix the serum and powder when you open it, reducing the chances of it oxidizing before using it. I found this a few weeks ago buried in my stash, and pulled it out to test because I was sure that even without being mixed, it surely would have gone bad by now (likely 3ish years old, maybe more? I think code AA7 might be 2017...whoops!), but no, it was fine, surprisingly. It took about 2.5-3 weeks for it to start to yellow dramatically, and I only used it a couple of times a week, so I didn't get to finish it off before it turned, but all in all, it's a good system for adding longevity to a product that isn't all that shelf stable. I've got a couple more that I'll pull out at some point soon.
Fizz & Bubble Shower Steamer (Relax-Black Amber & Lavender): the F&B shower cubes can be hit or miss, but this smelled really nice, especially considering that I normally dislike lavender. I have one more that I'll be happy to use!
Sheet masks: I still adore Biobelle, and the Dearpacker one was nice, plenty hydrating. I dislike The Oozoo one, but am relieved I have finished off 3 of the 5 now. It's not a bad mask, I just don't like milky serums in general, and this one is touch slimy for my taste as well. Good hydration though.
@RGbrown, great job on your empties! 🙌🏼 Love that Dr Pepper LipSmacker. I can’t remember when exactly I first used it, probably in my teens. I’ve had a tube of it ever since then so it definitely earns HG status! 😃
*mild panic setting in*
Lip Smacker is having a Cyber Monday sale (50% off sitewide, gwp and free ship at $25), and while I have no business buying more, I just wanted to see what sorts of sets they had this year, and...
...
...
Dr Pepper is nowhere to be found on their site 😲😫😩
ETA: they're selling for up to $10-12 each on eBay now too 😣
@RGbrown Ruh oh! Keep an eye out at Claire's and Walmart, that's where I find mine at.
Claire's, eh? I haven't thought of them in years, but found they've still got a couple of stores around here...will have to check them out. Thanks!!
What?!!! No Dr Pepper lip smackers on the site @RGbrown?!! It doesn’t sound good that they’re on eBay for that markup. Are they discontinuing it? 😲
Thanks so much! The Hempz is fantastic...I like it enough that I picked up a couple of big bottle last year even though I had no business buying lotions 🤣
Amazing job on all of the empties, @RGbrown!! I find that that clinique vitamin C is really good, but the packaging is too much for me.
Thank you!
The Clinique is a neat concept, but it still goes bad so quickly that I'm not sure it's worth it.
I went into the bathroom last night to grab my empties for pics, and somehow wound up spending an hour dusting my makeup and perfume?? Found some long lost items that need to be tossed, so this batch is some empties with a few declutters thrown in 🗑️

Notes in the spoilers
THINGS I ACTUALLY USED
DECLUTTER
@RGbrown Funny that you use an old Alterna bottle for your loose powder dry shampoo - b/c I do the exact same thing! I'm glad I saved a couple when Alterna changed the formula and bottle. (I think they re-formulated yet again, and might be back to the "old" back.) I'm sorry that you didn't care for the Klorane loose powder dry shampoo. It's been a staple for me for years. I like how it works, and to me it is low-odor which I really appreciate.
The Alterna bottle has been pretty decent to me! It's not perfect, and I'm not sure there is a "perfect" solution for spraying out powders, but it's better than any other bottle I've ever tried. I don't even remember if I liked the Alterna dry shampoo or not at this point, but the bottle has been handy!
@RGbrown Oh - I didn't realize you were spraying the loose powder. Does this look like the kind of bottle you use?
I use one that looks more like this:
Just curious, is all 🙂
Oh, I had no idea they made more than one! I've got the pump style one (that purple one exactly)
@RGbrown They've gone through a few different version. I believe this is the one they are currently selling:
@RGbrown So sad about all of your declutters but I totally get it--if it doesn't work for you there's no point in forcing yourself to use it.
