@xcicee I don’t remember exactly when I got it but pretty sure I got it from Neiman Marcus. The two in the picture there are Casablanca and Pink Dusk. I don’t like neither color so I rarely touch them. But I would say probably was at least more than 2 yrs for me. I have 50-70 Tom Ford lipsticks and these are a few that turned on me. One note though I don’t collect nude. I normally buy red, pink and berry colors. Those seems fine.

That's so funny, I also got my Pink Dusk at neiman's. I just checked and I bought mine in July '17 so just over 2 years for me now, I better start using it while I can 🙂 

[blackkitty2014]

@xcicee  Good idea😘 The 2 I’m worrying about turn soon are Misbehave and Julian. I love love Misbehaves so most likely I will finish it. It’s strange since Misbehaves is a coral red. I have tons of pinks and those are still good as the day I bought them 😂🤪

[xcicee]

Ooh how can you tell that it is about to turn? I haven't tried that many TF but I am close to finishing my 2nd or 3rd DS Indian Rose one. Full size lipsticks & balms are so hard for me to finish but I can usually do a mini one in a month of consistent use.

[blackkitty2014]

@xcicee To me the vanilla scent is strongest when it starts to turn. But really behind the strong vanilla scent is the faint waxy scent. Overtime the vanilla scent got weaker and weaker and replaced completely with the waxy scent. The only full-size lipstick I ever finish is Tom Ford Pussycat. I love Indian Rose too. I finished 3 DS Indian Rose 😉 for the last 2-3 yrs or so I buy less full size and more Boy/Girlssize. Those I can finish 🤪🤣

[xcicee]

Thanks for the tips 😄 I wish I had gotten the B&G size, they did have this color too. But at least now I know for next time! I try to grab the DS whenever they have them as rewards but they're almost always Indian Rose.

Wow, @blackkitty2014, that's an impressive amount of empties.

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @CookieGirl1 , @JaneanBT and @l8totheparty . I’m pretty proud of myself on being good about skincares. No wastes for me 😉 Now only if I can do the same with makeup 😘😍

[JaneanBT]

Hi @blackkitty2014 ,

Wow! This is such a great set of empties! You used so many great skin products! 

Best Wishes,

Janean

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. 

[JaneanBT]

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
