Seeing product empties is so satisfying 🙂

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

@Mellmars1185, thank you; these are actually my empties from April; I was late posting. May empties should be up soon. Agree, it was neat.

@itsfi Amazing job! When did you meet the founder!? Did you tell them you are responsible for like at least 30% increase in customers? I need to stop being cheap and get back to the Shisheido cottons. 

[itsfi]

I feel like April was my breakthrough for empties in the sense that I finished a lot of products so it felt good  to do so, and I really appreciated that there were so many well loved or GOAT items that I went through. @Samtian 

Ahhh, thank you; I waxed poetic to the brand rep who was at Ulta as well as to the founder about their products but it was one of the BT/BIC beauties who hyped me up to both of them. She was very kind and generous with what she shared with them about my spritzing most of those present at Sephoria NYC with it. 😂🤣😂 It was extremely thoughtful of her and it was sweet to see the founder's eyes light up. It's good stuff. Will be interesting to see what things look like for the brand after their sale closes. 

I hear ya on the Shiseido cottons - I spent years looking for alternatives, even picking up a pack recently that sounded promising, but I go back to the Shiseido ones every time. I've cut them in half to make them last longer, and always look for a sale. If you are near a TJ Maxx or Marshall's, they often have them at a discount. I had them on auto-replenish for a time but stopped and now just pick them up during one of the sales. Sometimes, they'll be on sale for more than 20% off.

@itsfi That's even better you had someone there to let them know all about it!! TJ MAXX is a dangerous place.

@itsfi This was a very detailed post! Thank you! 

I’m now very curious and want to try those steam eye masks by Kao 💚

[itsfi]

Those steam eye masks are fabulous @furbie! It's been a must have for ... gosh, for almost a decade now. 

[lmaster]

Great job! @itsfi i see a bunch of goats here 🙌

[itsfi]

@lmaster, thank you; it's been great to have these phenomenal products to work through.

[ather]

@itsfi  wow this is the empties of 🐐 I see so many in this post! How cool is that that you’re using all faves for the most part! It looks like you have really locked down your skincare routine! I love seeing this. I see so many of my favs in this post as well!! 

[itsfi]

Yes!!! Thank you so much @ather; I've really been working on having a more manageable set with a mix of both tried-and-true favorites with a sprinkling of new releases that catch my eye, and I feel like this group of empties is a big step in that direction, especially with skincare. 💞💞 Working on a couple other categories too. 👍 Yeeaaahhh for having mutual faves, ather! 💖

Hello 💕

I have a tiny post. 

 

Sunday Riley C.E.O Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil 🧡

Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One AHA Lactic Acid Treatment 1.7 oz / 50 ml 🧡

KORA Organics Turmeric Glow Foaming Cleanser 5 oz / 150 mL 🧡

Anua Peach 70 Niacin Serum 😐

The Dr. Jart sample was nice. Guerlain’s Gold 24k primer was seemingly identical to Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Face Primer Blur Primer Gold I haven’t compared the prices of those 2. 

[Mellmars1185]

@furbie Great job! It looks like you have a wonderful skincare routine.

[itsfi]

Small but mighty empties here @furbie. Skincare can take some time to go through; nicely done. The Guerlain primer is $88; the YSL, $57.

[furbie]

Wow! The YSL primer is much cheaper! @itsfi @thank you for the prices 💞

I know that this thread doesn’t move as fast as others, because it takes time to use products. But it just feels so awkward for me to post a handful of things 😆

[itsfi]

@furbie, I hadn't realized the price difference before either. I really like the Guerlain - I have a few deluxe sizes from gwp's - but won't need to waffle on whether to pick up a full size now. 

It does take time to use up product which makes perfect sense, so yes, there may be months when you have just a few empties, or maybe none, to share and then other months when you have a lot more. That does mean this thread may see bursts of activities at certain times (versus other posts that may see more activity on a weekly or near daily basis). For me, it's nice to have that variety in terms of cadence. 

[ather]

@furbie  Wow! Great job! Totally not a tiny post! Some months I barely use anything. So this is awesome! 

[lmaster]

Great job!! @furbie 

[vallyyyyy]

Here are my April empties! A lot of good stuff in here, but also a few disappointing things! Let me know if you have any questions about products! 😍 (sorry about some of the blurriness)

[Mellmars1185]

@vallyyyyy Great work! You got through a lot of items this month 😊

[ather]

@vallyyyyy  Wow! Amazing job! 

[vallyyyyy]

@ather I appreciate it!!
