Seeing product empties is so satisfying 🙂
Post your weekly, monthly, quarterly, whenever-ly empties and let us know how you felt about them!
Previous Empties thread:
@CookieGirl1, those B&BW candles create a winter wonderland feel; your home must have smelled amazing.
@itsfi you also love candles so you know how it is--they just create a mood ❤️.
Kwailnara makes some deliciously-scented sheet masks, too, @CookieGirl1! Melon that is just like fresh honeydew is my favorite 😋
A full-size Mermaid Mask, you must really love it, yay! Using that one is always a highlight for me 💗
@eshoe I'm so glad that you introduced me to that mask! It always feels like a luxury experience when I use it.
@CookieGirl1 Fantastic job! So many items I've had my eye on. Love hearing your thoughts.
@missjeanie It smells SO good and the formula is actually good, too.

@itsfi Great round-up of empties & festive photos! All of the candles you used in December look beautiful. I especially like the pumpkin shaped ones. How did you find the scent of the JVN Complete Nourishing Shine Drops? I am using a mini. I think it may have turned. It does not smell horrible, just not pleasant. How did you use it? I am looking forward to trying the Dr.Jart Cream!
I love candles @Mellmars1185! The scent on the JVN shine drops was pleasant to my nose - light, slightly citrus (not lemon per se but general citrus scent), fresh. The JVN line has a few different scents, one is a more olive-based one that many find less tolerable. It sounds like yours went bad.
There are a couple of ways I use the scent - either as a styling product, I’ll add a drop or two into the palm of my hands, warm it up a bit and then run it through my hair, mid length to ends for added shine. I started curling my hair more frequently beginning last summer / fall and that’s when I started using the shine drops more in this manner.
Or, I’ll add it to a leave in conditioner, a heat protectant or the JVN Mini Complete Hydrating Air Dry Hair Cream and work it through damp hair from mid-length to ends. This was how I primarily used the shine drops when I first started using them.
@itsfi Thanks for sharing! I have been using the JVN drops after blow drying and warming up between may hands and using the same technique. I didn't think of using it as an additional to a leave in conditioner. That is an excellent idea. I think mine did go bad. I am still using it though 😅. It still seems to be preforming well (besides the scent). It is just a little mini so I can put up with the scent until it is done. But boy, does it last a long time!! I have it on rotation with the Verb Ghost Weightless Hair Oil 2 oz/ 60 mL
Happy New Year @itsfi ! Great job with the candles and all your other products!
@makeitup305, thank you! Love having candles burning in the house, especially this time of year. Happy New Year to you!
@lmaster, thank you. Just chipping away at things ... all the things, lol.
@CorgiMommy, thank you for your kind words. It's been nice to work through what I have 👍, and it motivates me to keep working through the rest. 😆
@itsfi Wow! Amazing job this year!! I forgot how good the JVN shine drops are! I need to pull them out and use them up! Wow candles!! Great job! I love you have been on a hair foil frenzy! Do you find you go in waves with what you use for foils or mainly use what’s needed?
Thank you @ather! 😀 It feels good to use up products I have.
Oh, that is fantastic question. My very first foils challenge, which was what? maybe 5 or 6 years ago, was eye opening on so many fronts - how a person can amass so many foils is beyond me but somehow I did it - they are small and thin so there are a lot of nooks and crannies around the house to store them. 🤣 Before, I think usage came in waves and not deliberate ones either. I just used whatever I had, if I remembered I had it.
With the foil challenges over the years, I feel like that's changed a bit. I still experience waves when I use a certain category of products more in foil sizes, but usage is more driven by what's needed and, that makes me a little more intentional about the foil samples I pick up or request. Shampoo, conditioner, hair care products or body washes (depending on the fragrance) are ones I find myself reaching for more frequently when I pack for trips. It opens up more space in my TSA 3-1-1 liquid bag and foils of those particular types of products are less likely to leak all over my bag or luggage. Other beauty products can leak as well, especially if they are liquids, but it could just be me, but I feel like those types of products are more likely to leak and they're just bulkier to travel with. I probably just need to find a good refillable vessel to include them in. Until I find that, it's foils for me!
What about you? You've been killin' it with working through your foils collection. 🙌 Are you finding your foil use is more focused, based on what you need, or does it come in random waves?
As for the JVN, we'll thank some extra processed hair for my reaching for it more. Masking, hair oils and having lots of days, weeks even, when I didn't use any heated products on it have helped a lot.
