Seeing product empties is so satisfying 🙂

Post your weekly, monthly, quarterly, whenever-ly empties and let us know how you felt about them!

Need to try that Banilla for myself, @jen81! and yes, yay for finishing a Laneige lip mask. Major accomplishment 😄

[lmaster]

@jen81 good job! You got through a laneige lippie mask! 🙌

[RebeccaBT]

@jen81 45 empties! WOW. That is impressive! 

Best,
Rebecca

I love that Amika shampoo too @jen81 !  @mrsmouse introduced me to it and it's been so smoothing/hydrating/all around lovely.

My first try of doing empties monthly. I didn't quite hit the 20 I had set as a goal, but I have high hopes I will get there on average for the year.

Spoiler

Loves are the Secret deodorant, Clinique highlighter (nice subtle highlight), and Mamonde lip mask.

I really liked the Tatcha Ageless eye cream, but I'm not sure it's worth the price. I keep repurchasing the Ulta cotton pads because they are good enough and priced well. The Drunk Elephant is the old version of Lala Retro that is generally too thick, so it took me a while to make my way through it. I do like it for using tretinoin in the winter though, so I would definitely use it again, maybe even repurchasing the new version. I think I have some samples hopefully to try.

The Algenist Genius eye cream and the Origins (?) cream eye shadow were expired, so I decluttered them.

5 FS, 3 DS, 4 foils, 2 declutters.

These are some great empties @snoflakefaerie! You’ll hit your monthly average!

[Brutalitops]

@snoflakefaerieStill good progress! I'm new here too but it's good to have goals to actually use the stuff we're all buying all the time 😄

[snoflakefaerie]

Thanks @Brutalitops . I feel like I've been slacking on using my skincare in a timely manner, especially masks and moisturizers so hopefully this is the push I need to do so! It's definitely no use to just have things sitting around not getting used.

[Brutalitops]

Same here @snoflakefaerie, I have a bad habit of hoarding masks for no discernible reason until they expire because I feel some weird need to “save” them 🙄

[missjeanie]

Love the Skynn eye gels and I'm using that Mamonde lip mask right now @snoflakefaerie !  Great empties!

[snoflakefaerie]

I'm going to try to use the eye gels on a more regular basis to see if they do anything. I'm only just now seeing some fine lines that aren't really budging, so we'll see if they help at least plump them up for a few hours. I should remember to use them when I have puffiness issues, which will definitely be happening once allergies season hits. 

I hope you enjoy the lip mask as much as I do @missjeanie !

@l8totheparty @After trying the Briogio deodorant from the @TeamBIC  and @briogeo , it’s really peaked my interest in natural deodorants. I found the Briogio to do a good job during my normal office life days and only wish they’d come out with other scents. I might play around and try a few others, but judging from your reviews here.... I might be back to the Briogio pretty quick! Thanks so much for the heads up/honest reviews!

[l8totheparty]

I used a Schmidt calendula flower (?) Deoderant and it was a lovely scent, so I only knock this sage scent lol. 

I have to be honest, it's the best way to be. I also typically don't sugar-coat it, either lol.

@missjeanie 

[missjeanie]

Lové it @l8totheparty ! Makes knowing what to try and what to avoid so much easier! I see the Schmidt’s at TJs and Winners from time to time. I’ll have to be extra aware of which scent I try!

[eshoe]

I’ve tried that Schmidt deodorant @l8totheparty and I concur😝

[lmaster]

Lovely empties @l8totheparty 

[ShortErica]

Smelling like Thanksgiving Turkey > smelling like B.O. hahaha 🤣 you're cracking me up @l8totheparty

My November empties 

LOVES - have repurchased or will repurchase; though hopefully I will not need to repurchase the Delsym anytime soon. The green tea toner is discontinued; may check out the Innisfree toner to see if it'makes a good substitute. Forgot to include the Megrhythm gentle steam eye masks with this group.

Loves - Likes: was surprised by how much I liked the CdP oil. The green tea toner, cough syrup and Lala cream ended up in this pic as well as the previous one for "loves"; oops.

Likes - these were good; for some of the foil samples, I wish I had more foils to use of the products.

Okays - not bad; they're are just similar products I prefer or like better than these.Maybe's - I'd use them if I had them around but wouldn't go out to repurchase. The Peace Out Pores I cut into squares and use as I would the acne dots.Meh's - just not for meNo's or destashes - the LM eye shadow stick were just too old. 😞

[naturalooks15]

Whoaa !! that's some awesome trach @itsfi  😄 I am super impressed with how many samples have you used up. I need to go quickly round up my empties. 

[itsfi]

Thank you @naturalooks15! 🤗 I was adamant that I was going to get through a lot of my samples. They’re mostly skincare so that makes it easier for me to go through. I now have a long list of products I’m really interested in. 🤩🤩💗
