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:
@blackkitty2014, thank you. It’s a nice feeling to have fewer and fewer products, full sizes in particular, that are meh or that are ones I don’t enjoy using.
@itsfi So many wonderful empties! Lots of full sizes in there!
Thank you @Mellmars1185. I keep fewer deluxe and foils samples on hand these days and try to use up all my full sizes. I’ve had a couple of months with some larger empties count so I imagine next month will have a smaller amount of empties.
@itsfi Great job!! Wow you really got through some candles!! The jaxkelly ones sound good and I also love the VOLUSPA Barbados Grapefruit Jar Candle 18 oz / 510 g 1 wick candle the scent is so good! How have I not tried the SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Eye Mask Caffeine I need to asap!! I like the steam ones and the wander ones. So I guess my next order will have to include the SC ones.
@ather, thank you! Love me my candles. I have a very healthy number to get through and *try* to be very selective when I purchase more. I know I will go through them, that's never been a problem (they're such a great way to unwind and offer some aromatherapy), but I don't want too much of a backlog.
The SC caffeine eye masks are nice for an extra perk in the mornings. I like to drop a pair or two into my travel bag. Wish they'd make them in the jars with multiple patches. But then, it wouldn't make them as convenient for travel.
Some solid fave's there @itsfi ! What did you think of the Supergoop! Daily Dose Hydra-Ceramide Boost + SPF 40 Sunscreen Oil PA+++ 1 oz/ 30 mL ? I picked one up and have tried it a few times, but I can't quite figure out what I think.
Thank you @missjeanie. I'm finding that there are fewer instances where I have a lot of 'no' products, or even 'meh' ones. It feels nice to have primarily have "likes" and "loves".
That's the Supergoop! Daily Dose Bioretinol + Mineral SPF 40 with Bakuchiol 1 oz / 30 mL. This one had a lot of good things going for it on paper - mineral SPF, tinted, contains bakuchiol! My feelings on it can best be expressed by saying "it's complicated." 🤣 Based on my experience, it's one of those products that, if you can find the best way to work with it, it can work wonders for you. But, that said, it can also take some trial and error to find out how it might work well for you. The first few times I used it, it stung my eyes something awful, and occasionally, it made me look like I dunked my face into a tub of oil. After sticking with it, and finding the moisturizer to pair it with and realizing it looks best mixed or paired with certain ones of my foundation or concealer, it's turned out pretty well. There are so many great sunblocks coming out on the market that the Supergoop! SPF is one that I would happily use again but I don't think I'd run out to repurchase it.
@itsfi I think the same thing about my loves and likes versus nopes. I hope it means we're getting better at figuring out what's best for us.
I'm going to keep at it with the Supergoop! Daily Dose Hydra-Ceramide Boost + SPF 40 Sunscreen Oil PA+++ 1 oz/ 30 mL . You're giving me hope that I too I can find the right combo of products. I really want to love this one! lol
@missjeanie, I really do believe it means that we have a better handle about what works well for us. Being more ... strategic, yeah, that's a good word... being more strategic of what I pick up and when has been helpful. Nowadays, I often wait for a sample, or pull out something I may have that's similar, before jumping to put it in my cart and check out. Doesn't happen all the time, but more so than before and enough so that I keep my stash of products from overflowing.
What is it about the Supergoop! Ceramide Sunscreen Oil that keeps it from being a love for you? Is it the texture? How it looks? Maybe we can troubleshoot and find a combo that will complement it.
@itsfi I think for me, I tend to put all of my skincare on quickly before make up. I don't give it a lot of time to sink in. I think that may be part of the issue. I also have worn this the last two days and like you... stung the crap outta my eyes! Maybe I need to do more of a pat in than rub so that it stays away from my eyes and doesn't make my foundation sit too funny.
@missjeanie, I definitely make sure to apply the Supergoop more carefully around my eyes. I think you're on to something with letting the SPF sit a bit longer. I loved the radiance it gave my skin but it is a smidge more high maintence than my other sunblock, and a little more effort than I'm used to putting in - at the moment, my morning skincare and makeup routine takes 5 minutes or less to get through. 👍
When I used the Supergoop bioretinol spf, my favorite bases to use with it were Sephora Best Skin Ever Foundation or Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation Stick or Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Radiant Skin Concealer. Something about those products and the Supergoop played well together - in the application, the finished look and longevity/wearability.
@itsfi Ohhhh I have the SC and the CT, I'll try those out this week. I also think that the extra moisture may have played with the setting powder I've used as well. Letting it all soak in a bit may be key.
Awww, thank you @Samtian! Taking part in the pan challenge for the last few years has really helped to not just work through my project pan items but with all my stash. 👍 It's also one of the single greatest reminders to be selective with my purchases; er, or more selective than I have been. 😂
Thank you @lmaster! Oh gosh, it took me probably the better part of 4+ years to finish that Armani foundation. I love it, but it's like a never ending bottle. I'm sure that is well past its shelf life, but it passed the smell test and there was nothing off about it based on eye sight or performance so I just kept working my way through it. It's a HG foundation for me. 💖 I've actually been inspired by seeing @blackkitty2014's foundation pans on the Pan It! - 2023 Challenge - love that she uses her luxe foundations and uses them up.
You’re just being modest @itsfi . You did amazing. I try to only have 1 foundation or skin tint at a time so I can finish it. I wish I can say the same about eyeshadow or face palette 😘
April Empties = 17
Candles must take sooo long to empty @Mellmars1185 great job on your empties!
@CynthieLu They don't take too long for me. I find these ones burn quite quicl bevause they are 3 wick. If it is grey outside, i always have a cable burning. I think it is for comfort lol
