Seeing product empties is so satisfying 🙂

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

Yes @eshoe it was a part of gratis maybe in the fall and I got one too. I liked it (though would prefer a different scent) but it just didn't last a full day for me.

@missjeanie I don't particularly care for lip palettes myself! You got a nice bunch of empties and declutters here 👍

[missjeanie]

I love the idea of having a bunch of different colours in a smaller volume, but it's just not convenient for my life @lmaster .  Glad I'm not alone!

600 Empties is an impressive goal, @missjeanie, but it looks like you're WELL on your way 🙂

[missjeanie]

lol @CookieGirl1 my stretch goal is 712!  I really need to curate my collection better and am hoping that I can manage to at least a bit this year!

January empties! It's a touch misleading since I started my clearout crusade in Dec., but I'm still proud of the progress I made with my trial sizes and I'm on track to finish my DS/ backup night moisturizers this month

I loved everything with the green stars and I would buy any of them again. The yellow category I liked and would use/ buy in an emergency if my first picks weren't available. The red was a mix of things I failed to use before the expiration date (DE Retinol, Dream mask) and the others just didn't perform well (goddess palette) or I really couldn't stand and threw out without finishing- all the others.

Oh wow the Aveda toner @Brutalitops - is it scented like any of their other products? I need to place an order and that looks interesting. I’m working my way though the Shampure composition oil, it’s nice mixed with unscented body cream. How is the Beautiful scent?

[Brutalitops]

@eshoeI like the beautifying scent, it's still definitely essential oil-y but definitely less strong and more... mainstream? Not sure how to describe it exactly but very relaxing

[eshoe]

Thank you @Brutalitops, I think I will give it a try:)

[Brutalitops]

@eshoe also forgot to answer- the toner didn’t really have a scent and it worked fine but didn’t give the nice light misting effect- the spray pattern is/was pretty erratic 

[eshoe]

Ugh that seems to be the case with the majority of mists I've used, @Brutalitops. The Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist 2-in-1 Hydrator & Finishing Spray 1.35 / 40and Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist 2.53 oz/ 75 mLhave the best nozzles.

[Brutalitops]

@eshoeSee I thought it was the nozzle too, so I put the toner into the Herbivore bottle since that had a super fine mist- same problem. Slight thickening agents/salts in the actual ingredients seem to be the trick here 🤷‍♀️

[eshoe]

Ahhhhh I see @Brutalitops. That makes sense.

[lmaster]

Excellent!! @Brutalitops 

[Brutalitops]

Thanks @lmaster! It feels good tofinally use all this junk I've got hanging around in my drawers ! 😃

[ShortErica]

I like your symbol selections @Brutalitops. Good job finishing so many products!

[Brutalitops]

@ShortEricaGood ol' reliable MS Paint 🤣 But yeah, clearing out my sample stash was a new years goal so I'm hoping to keep trucking through the next few months!

[sephoraaddict918]

So many good empties @Brutalitops!!! I'm using a sample of the ExfoliKate, and I absolutely LOVE it!!! I've avoided it for so long because I thought it would be too harsh, but it's so gentle. I had absolutely no irritation with it.

How did you like the Dream Mask? I have been eyeing that for a while, but I've been hesitant.

[Brutalitops]

@sephoraaddict918  The exfoliate line is a favorite of mine, the cleanser is likely to be in next month’s empties 😄

The dream mask was fine. At first I hated it because it had a weird jello-water like texture I couldn’t get over and I had a hard time estimating the amount I actually needed. When I went back to use it this winter I liked it a lot better and it really does do a good job of hydrating, plus it has a nice orange dreamsicle smell. Ultimately though, I just prefer to use a regular night cream and a serum. It just gets to be too much to keep track of and manage for me otherwise 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great job with your empties! That Aveda Shampure oil has caught my eye @Brutalitops! I just looked it up and it sounds wonderful! 😃

[Brutalitops]

@itsfiIt's amazing, I've just accumulated like 5 of them (literally) through birthday rewards and GWP that I really needed to start using. On a very related side note, my post-shower body care routine as gotten much better and people tell me how amazing I smell all the time now 😃
