Seeing product empties is so satisfying 🙂

This collection of empties make me happy- so many items used up! @blackkitty2014 and full-palette items, too.

At least two week's worth of empties:

Spoiler

Week 1: I think the Briogeo could easily be a love, I just wasn't a fan of this scent (I'm guessing the banana is better). It worked quite well for my hair, though. The Sulwhasoo may make it on a future Beautylish order - it is a richly nourishing but light sleeping mask and my skin loved it. The Jurlique Balancing Rosewater mist is a past HG, but I've been venturing out and am currently working my way through the GR Watermelon mist which is so good for summer! Found the Velvet travel spray in the sale section, picked up a couple more as I am stocking up on my favorite (and discontinued) winter spray. Thankfully Masion's By the Fireplace is so similar, that will be my go-to after I run out.

Week 2: The Freeman wash-off mask was lovely and one I will pick up a FS of at some point, when I have room. It feels very luxe and has been a great drugstore brand find thanks to @IndyQT317. The fresh Poppy is such a great color - way outside of my comfort zone - and the formula lasts well on me. It's the first time I've tried this formula and I love it! I'm on my last DS of the Bioderma Micellar water and will be buying FS asap - it's that good. The GR Avocado Melt was nice, I'm partial to the YTTP Superberry so won't be buying the FS. It looks like the new formulation has retinol, and although I've heard it's only a very small percentage, my skin just doesn't agree with that ingredient.

The thumbs down is for the "I Heart Revolution" products, I thought they were glosses and rather they are the strangest formula; goes on like a gloss and dries to some sticky, bizarre mess. Tried one and tossing both. Not sure what they are supposed to do, but that's what I get for a throw-in-the-cart at the last minute purchase 😄

Masks:

Spoiler

Week 1: The When masks are a staple. The Dewytree AC CTRL Deep Mask was a love and refreshing - the material of this mask is so soothing. Would love to stock up on those.

Week 2: The Merbliss is one of my favorites for its gauzy mask material. The Glow Loudey, I gave it another go, but it still is reminiscent of hose water. A big pass for me, though lots of others found the scent more along 'sweet leather' @lmaster 😄

Great empties @eshoe. What are the pros and cons for the Briogeo shampoo and conditioner for you? I’ve eyed that pair but haven’t pulled the trigger.

[eshoe]

The shampoo & conditioner felt nice on my hair @itsfi. Similar to the Shu but the scent was more on par with Suave which isn’t terrible. But if I am paying for a spendy hair-care routine, I kinda hope for a special scent to be included in the package.

This is a great set of empties @eshoe! You got through so many samples! I love that! 

Best Wishes,

Janean

[eshoe]

Thanks @JaneanBT I’ve been accumulating them for awhile now, it’s time to clear out. Trying to, anyway!

[lmaster]

@eshoe you are too funny!!

[eshoe]

Weird masks are the spice of life @lmaster 😄

[RebeccaBT]

@eshoe So impressed, I do not even have a quarter of the empties you do. I need to step it up 🙂

Best,
Rebecca

[l8totheparty]

Me too, @RebeccaBT !

[eshoe]

I am trying to be a bit more methodical about finishing products right now, @RebeccaBT. Want to be ready for the holiday sets!

[l8totheparty]

Ok, first fall and lead up to Christmas on Sephora, and I'm beginning to hear chatter about holiday sets?!  Like....I should be excited and my wallet should tremble, is that it? @eshoe  

😄

[eshoe]

Every year I aim to scale back in the summer/fall so that I can take advantage of sets I want come winter, @l8totheparty. Like with the Laneige lip set-I should have gifted the three DS sizes and just kept the FS. This year I plan to be more prepared so that I buy the sets with items I want to try.

[RebeccaBT]

@eshoe I need to get through some of my skincare to make room for all the holiday goodies too! Can't believe Christmas is in only a few months! 

Best,

Rebecca

[eshoe]

Four months, @RebeccaBT 😳 I am not prepared this year!

Empties. (Sheet Masks not included)

Loved the dry shampoo, panda hand cream, Brigeo sample, haeyo Mayo, and sunscreens. Don’t recommend Strawberry face scrub.

Loved morrocanoil, boscia cactus lotion, lancome sample, igk sample, phytojoba leave in. Bliss was okay.

Hempz lotion was old and definitely smelled expired. Trissola bad for thick dry hair. The Ordinary primer worked, but felt too silicone slick.#

Love the photo @Weetart! 💕 Amazing job with your empties!! I wondered about the MB strawberry scrub - good to know it’s a pass.

[Weetart]

Thanks @itsfi ! And yeah, it actually worked okay as a mask it's really creamy, but it was major effort to finish that jar. The seeds as an exfoliate was a joke.

[heartsmyface]

@Weetart  Ouhhh you got through a lot!   I love that body scrub!  It’s simple and smells so good!  

[Weetart]

It's such a good body scrub @heartsmyface ! I've been making an effort to use up items, even if it's for off label purposes. 

[JaneanBT]

Hi @Weetart ,

This is a great set of empties! Great job! 

Best Wishes,

Janean
