@Mellmars1185 Mine started to look off after about 12 months so if I ever bought it again I would get a mini so it’s fresh. You have to use it up quickly or it may go off. 
I like the Charlotte better but I do like this one too I just wouldn’t buy a full size again. I like Charlotte for setting and locking in makeup and the milk as more of a dewy/hydrate spray. 
are you referring to YUM pistachio? I love that scent and got a full size! I love the bumbum cream also and will have one in my next empties! I use it and love it year round!

[Mellmars1185]

@BluePaisley I did try the Pistachio perfume. However, it dried down powdery and I was not a fan of it on myself. I noticed you had that and Pistachio Tower 28 too!

[BluePaisley]

@Mellmars1185 Ah yes! Tower 28 glosses are very nice. I have another color in my collection and a few other gloss formulas I like more so don’t think I’ll buy any more but they are nice!

Good work! @BluePaisley 😃 I smiled to see KAYALI YUM PISTACHIO GELATO | 33 Eau de Parfum Intense Travel Spray on your loves list for your empties. I love that perfume too. I feel like it's a polarizing item, some people love it, and some people definitely do not. 

[BluePaisley]

@CynthieLu Already have the 1.7 oz! I think it’s so unique of a fragrance. It’s Gourmande to me but also fresh at the same time.

@BluePaisley  great job! Glad you found some loved that work well for you!

Wow @BluePaisley, these are some great empties! 😍 Cinnamon dolce sounds so warm and cozy and delicious!! 🤎 I love the Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream - one of my favorite moisturizers. 💛

[BluePaisley]

@itsfi It’s so amazing if you like tree hut scrubs. This and candy cane which are both seasonal are my favorites!

I didn’t have a lot of empties this round as I haven’t been targeting anything specific to pan.  

^That’s everything.  I LOVE the Diane cotton pads I buy off Amazon. I actually have a subscription for them so I never have to think about replacing them.  They’re the closest I’ve come to the Shiseido ones and they’re only $6. 

^All of these I’ve already replaced.   The Good Patch Rescue patches are your friend if you’re doing any holiday drinking.  Just saying.  They’re magic. 

 A little eyeliner and skincare declutter.  Eyeliners are not performing as well.  The sonage was nice at first but there are uneven clumps of pink in it now so it must be off.  I LOVE the Etude house and just need to buy  a refill for the cute compact.

@heartsmyface that is impressive!

[Cissy63]

@heartsmyface  Wow great job!  Thanks for the tip on Good Patch Rescue Patches ! 

[ather]

@heartsmyface  Great job!! Those makeup removing pads sound great. Adding to cart! 

[Mellmars1185]

@heartsmyface Looks like you have a lot of great empties!!! Ohh i could use one of those parches today. Making notes!!

[Samtian]

@heartsmyface Whoo still an amazing job!

[itsfi]

Ooooh, those Diane cotton pads sound wonderful @heartsmyface. Just added a pack to my cart. 🛒 The Etude House compact is so cute - is it a powder or cushion foundation? 

Need to remember to bring those Rescue patches with me. 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi   They were a great find!  Let me know what you think when you try them!  
The Etude has a cushion pad applicator but isn’t a cushion in that it’s contained in a sponge.  It’s more like a thick paste with a net on top.  
The rescue patches are going to be a lifesaver over the holidays!  I like the license to let loose without the adult consequences.  

[caitbird]

@heartsmyface  great job! Even though you say it's not a lot, it still seems like a pretty good batch of empties to me! I feel like I don't go through as many products as quickly as a lot of people seem to, but part of that is not being as consistent with use as I'd ideally like.

[heartsmyface]

@caitbird  Fair enough.  It doesn’t seem like a lot perhaps cause I tend to go months at a time before doing an empties post and I am actually on schedule this time :D.  Plus I’ve been all over the place using different products everyday.  It’s hard to get through anything that way.  
Yeah getting into a routine that you actually follow is a big part of it.  I find it’s easier to simplify things when I’m taking out of routine- though I do love the process of, say, ten step skincare.

November empties:

The Biolage Strength Recovery was fine but I don't think I'll end up repurchasing it and I've been through several of the amika Bust Your Brass Blonde Purple Shampoos but I think that my hair is finally "tired" of it so I won't be repurchasing it, either.  The Drybar Agua Fresca Hydrating Shampoo 8.5 oz / 250 mL was a little "meh" but I actually really liked the Drybar Agua Fresca Hydrating Conditioner 8.5 oz / 250 mL and it was conveniently on sale for BF so I snagged a replacement.  The Verb Bonding Shampoo for Split Ends and Broken Bonds 12 oz / 355 ml and Verb Hair Bonding Mask 6.3 oz / 186 ml are declutters; I made it about halfway through each but finally realized that they were the culprits behind some scalp irritation that I'd been having.

Already repurchased the Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Illicit Green Eau de Parfum and already had a backup of the Charlotte Tilbury Jumbo Airbrush Flawless Hydrating & Waterproof Setting Spray 6.7 oz / 200 ml ready to go.  The Glow Recipe Avocado Ceramide Moisture Barrier Cleanser 5 oz / 150 mL was actually nice but not a standout and the Medi-Peel Bor-Tox serum (a Korean peptide serum) was a little underwhelming.

Not really a fan of any of these 😕.

I've been through multiples of both the tarte maracuja juicy lip liner and the tarte maracuja juicy lip plumping gloss and I already have backups ready to go but the Rhode lip treatment was a little bit of a fail.  I loved the scent of the Salted Caramel but the formula wasn't a fav.

Yes, yes, yes 😍

Gorgeous display of empties! @CookieGirl1 

[Cissy63]

@CookieGirl1  Wow so many empties!  Great job!  I love the Tarte lippies too.  I have one or two in my purse all the time 😀.  The candles sound so good 😊
