She’s like my tried and true BFF @greeneyedgirl107 great basics and some targeted treatments as well.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@jen81 are there any products you wish they'd introduce or bring back?  

[CynthieLu]

Great batches of empties for both months @jen81 

I spy Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor™ Collagen-Boosting Elasti-Cream with Bio-Retinol and Squalane 8.1 oz / 240... 🩷👌 in the mix. I love that one too. ☺️

Beautiful empties! It always so satisfying to have empties. Well done! I’m happy to hear you had so many keepers. May I ask what you didn’t like about the others? 🫶✨❤️

Dior used to be a fav but formula is a bit too dry for my liking. The cleansing balm is bit too heavy for me as well, may be vm wetter for winter.

Six months of empties 🫣

Categories in the spoiler, but this really makes me consider even more how much makeup I go through and what types, versus other categories like skincare.

Green is faves, yellow is mid and red is hates. White is my partner's skincare and the bottom is makeup.

AMAZING! @haleyvvvv  😎

[BluePaisley]

@haleyvvvv Wowza, amazing and I see some great products!

[caitbird]

@haleyvvvv  whoa 😲 amazing work! So impressive to see 6 months of empties all together like this! I agree that seeing my empties all laid out really does help me to gauge what I use the most of, the most consistently. I know I go through a lot more skincare and hair care than I do makeup - when I get rid of makeup items it tends to be as declutters rather than empties, for me. Did you notice any particular trends in your empties usage? Was there anything that surprised you?

[Mellmars1185]

@haleyvvvv Excellent work!  It puts things into perspective to see 6 months worth!

[Samtian]

@haleyvvvv Whooo amazing!!!

[lmaster]

@haleyvvvv holy bagezus 🤣 you rocked the empties!!

[CookieGirl1]

Holy bananas, @haleyvvvv 😲.

Dang girl, you're my hero.

[missjeanie]

@haleyvvvv I love seeing empties like this!  I think even more than a monthly set, seeing a good chunk of time set out like this is so helpful to see what you're really using more of.  Helps to inform some buying choices!! 

[CorgiMommy]

@haleyvvvv that is a lot of products.  I am amazed you saved all those empties 

[CynthieLu]

That's a huge pile @haleyvvvv you cleared so much skincare. 🥳

Aaah makeup is a little different, what trends did you notice about your makeup use? 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Beautiful empties and great job! I think it’s so helpful when empty time comes around because it makes you assess what works and gives presence to sorting into those categories. When you said reds were no goes I thought of a stop sign for some reason. I think I might use a green yellow and red to categorize my empties in the future. ❤️ @haleyvvvv

I like all of these but I probably wouldn't repurchase the Cucumber or the Numbuzin

The Innbeauty was a big miss for me. I later realized that the Green Machine wasn't supposed to be green after all 🙄 I think I'll stick to their lip products from now on. I liked all the Korean products. The Thank You Farmer was my least favorite since it had a strong alcohol scent so I wouldn't repurchase but the texture was nice and thin. From Naturium, I'd probably repurchase the Azelaic Acid, it helped when my face was irritated (mostly from me picking at it).

I love the BBW Butterfly scent and it wasn't too drying on my hands. I wasn't a fan of the scent of the Necessaire wash. It was a little too unisex for me. I need a vanilla scent from them or something sweeter. I've been reusing the packaging with the SdJ body wash and used it all up again. I really liked the Dr. Forhair as well as the other two products.

I'm decluttering all of these because they're super old. I also realized that I don't use lip scrubs at all. 

The foundations are super old and I don't like the taste of the Addiction Tokyo so it's getting passed on. I used up the eyebrow products and liked both, although I found the TF one a little softer than I prefer. I hate this MUFE brush it's so rough. I was SUPER impressed by The Tool Lab cleansers. They're expensive ($8 each for the tiny bottle) but they go a looong way.

All the powder brushes were washed using the Natural hair Cleanser and the foundation and concealer ones (synthetics) were done using the Foundation brush cleanser. They don't foam up so they rinse clean. It saves my hands from all the soap.

P.S. don't be grossed out by the tub, I never use it so it's clean.

@makeitup305  amazing empties and declutters! You have a fabulous brush collection! 😍 I thought I had a lot, but wow! I've never heard of this brush cleaner, I will have to check it out. My brushes are definitely due for a deep cleaning - I am still working out a schedule/system for that 😅

[Mellmars1185]

@makeitup305 Wonderful progress! I also thought the same as @Samtian about your brushes. I just finished up iNNBEAUTY PROJECT The Healthy Skin Edit Bestsellers Kit and thought my Green Machine was bad because of the colour also. What do you think about the scent?

[makeitup305]

Sorry for the late reply @Mellmars1185. It didn't smell off, just kind of "green". I just wasn't impressed by it overall. What did you think?
