Haven't had time to sit down and photograph empties in over two years but this year will be different 😉 Here are my empties for the month. I don't foresee any more this month so that's why I am posting early. For reference I've got:

Oribe Signature Conditioner - apologies for the not so aesthetically pleasing photo of this- it's got some old conditioner stains on the bottle (oops). Naturally, I finished the conditioner before the shampoo since I tend to use 2x more conditioner. This giant container has been with me since I moved into my place in December 2020 so it lasted over a year. I'm going to be honest here and say that I love the Oribe line mainly for how delicious their products smell. This was a great conditioner that kept my dry hair conditioned but was there anything exceptional that could have justified the cost? Not so much. I am working on finishing the shampoo and then will test another set for my thin, damaged hair. 

Charlotte Tilbury Mini Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray Duo Set - couldn't find the original to tag. I have been obsessed with this since the day it came out. Although most people can't stand the fragrance in it, I don't mind it as long as it keeps my makeup in place all day. This was a game changer during peak pandemic when my makeup was getting ruined by constant mask usage. I have now repurchased this 4 times and make sure to keep one at my bf's house, one at my house, and one in my backup stash at all times.

Kaplan MD Lip Mask- if you know me, you have probably heard me talk about this product before. I first purchased from Sephora ages ago when they first carried the line. I have been using it religiously in the morning while I apply my makeup and always end up with smooth lips ready for lipstick. One jar lasts me at least a year so it's a great investment and I always make sure to buy a jar during a sale when they are 25% off.

HUM Nutrition Killer Nails® Hair & Nail Strength Supplement with Biotin - this is your typical hair and nail pill you take once a day for stronger hair and nails. There's nothing special about this per se but I have a subscription with HUM so I like to save a few bucks a month when I get my vitamins through them. 

Living Proof No Frizz Humidity Shield 5.5 oz/ 188 mL - I like to use this after I style my hair in the morning. I have been using it for some years now but recently tested the spray from the line that you apply to damp hair and I prefer that so I will not be repurchasing this one any longer.

Vegamour GRO Biotin Gummies for Thinning Hair 30 Gummies - I got a few bottles of these from Vegamour direct last year that I took when I was at bf's house. Gummies were tasteful but can't really speak to it doing much for my hair. I don't think I will be repurchasing as they were costy and I did not see any real improvement in my hair.

Living Proof Flex Shaping Hairspray - this is another HG product for me. Smells like vanilla and gives my hair a soft hold all day. I'm not one for crunchy or stiff hair and I like to comb my hair throughout the day to avoid a birds nest and this product provides just the right amount of hold.

Kopari Rose All Day Coconut Melt- this might be exclusive to Ulta and their direct website but it's essentially the same as the OG coconut melt. I keep repurchasing this one, however, because I like the smell. I would say this is my 6th tub and I have two more in storage for backups. It's a HG product for me especially in the winter when my legs get itchy from the dry cold. I smother my legs in this after I shower and don't get itchy or dry, flaky skin throughout the day. Since I use this daily and sometimes I shower multiple times a day, I would say a tub lasts me only about 2-3 months but I find this scent is always on sale so it's not an issue for me.

@gonerogue Nice empties! I also really like the scent of the Oribe products I have smelled so far. Great to know about the CT setting spray. I usually use the Urban Decay All Nighter. I think I will try this one out next 😊

[CynthieLu]

Those are big empties @gonerogue way to go girl! 🥳

[Cissy63]

@gonerogue  Oh you finished some great products.  I am a Kopari cream fan too😀

[missjeanie]

@gonerogue I've always pondered that Oribe combo... but dang the price tag! 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@scott1201 has LP humidity shield been discontinued?  Not seeing it on Sephora or Ulta or LP direct.

@gonerogue fabulous empties!! 

[CookieGirl1]

Woohoo for finishing off so many full size products, @gonerogue!

[gonerogue]

@CookieGirl1  Thank you! I always get great satisfaction from using something to the last drop. As a beauty fanatic, you know that isn't easy as we always want to try the latest and greatest in the game lol I will be back next month with more 😉

[CookieGirl1]

@gonerogue love it!

I had a crazy week with empties: 4 makeup products that I knew were on their way out, but I didn’t expect the same week! RIP CYO loose powder, Lifeproof foundation & Jordana Tawny lipliner: you were all great and would be repurchases if you still existed.

I also panned a mini Undone water highlighter in Gold Lit, which was fun to use under foundation but I’ll never need to full size.

Happy to share my opinions on any of the products. (The B&BW lotion was me not noticing it was in the men’s collection, but it was woodsy enough that it’s a rare cologne scent I could stand on me.) Thank you all for being such a fun, supportive community! Time to recycle….

@moreotter Awesome empties! I always feel so happy when I have posted so I can recycle ♻️😊

[CynthieLu]

That's an amazing victory pile @moreotter 

Great job on those empties 😄

[Cissy63]

@moreotter  Good going 😀

[missjeanie]

@moreotter Always feels good when you get some full sized in one week... and make up at that!  Great panning!

[lmaster]

Great job! @moreotter 

[CookieGirl1]

@moreotter congrats on actually panning a highlight!  That takes dedication.

[Samtian]

@moreotter Woo great job! What perfume sample is that?

[moreotter]

Thank you! It's actually a vial of the Victoria Beckham x Augustinus Bader Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum, which was really nice but I don't think I'd shell out for the actual bottle.

So.... I stopped inventorying my empties around February of 2022 I think... but I was still keeping them.  Lol... This is now how i'm separating them to count to see if I met my 2022 goals.  Friend asked what I was doing tonight... oh just sorting a year ish worth of trash. 

[Mellmars1185]

@missjeanie Wow that is impressive you saved them for so long! Looking forward to hearing your 2022 numbers 😀
