Empties - beauty products you've used up!
 
Empties - what beauty products have you used up recently? How did you like it, will you be purchasing it again etc. :flower:

Let me start. :D

Yves Rocher Micellar Cleansing Water: I like it, it was my second bottle. I'm not buying another one, because I got Bioderma's famous Sensibio H20 Solution Micellaire. :woot:

I've used up the pumpkin face cream I won from one of those magazine giveaways and am about to finish an eye cream and the Jason vitamin E cream, which actually lasted me a long while. I liked everything, even though I don't know how effective the eye cream would be for someone who needs an eye cream that does anything more than give some moisture. If I don't get around to getting the face cream again, I wanted to try either a cleanser or the pumpkin peel from the same brand, which is Mychelle Dermaceuticals.

The one thing I hate about using up products is having to throw the packaging away expecting it to just end up in a landfill.

My empties from November 2012:

Jouer Lip Enhancer Conditioning Lip Treatment
-- Love this product. Glossy, hydrating, feels extremely cushiony and luxe on the lips. I already had a back-up ready to go, and I ordered another one from BirchBox using my points. Yay!

Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Balm in Waikiki -- A really nice lip balm. Very sheer nudey-orange tint. Smells uniquely minty and feels pleasantly tingly upon application. I often used this as an overnight treatment and would wake up to very soft, hydrated lips. But the packaging is bulky and a bit ugly.

Sonia Kashuk Remove Eye Makeup Remover -- This is my HG. It's gentle, feels like water, and doesn't make my eyes blurry at all. Plus it's cheap, especially compared to Lancome's Bifacil (oily mess tbh). I also love the packaging and the way it looks on my vanity.

Soap and Glory Clean, Girls! Shower Gel -- I've had the giant 500ml/ 16.2oz bottle for a veryyy long time. I enjoyed the musky fruity-floral fragrance through and through, but the shower gel itself didn't seem to do anything particularly noticeable for my skin. I'm proud I finished up the whole thing.

Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation: This foundation is amazing. :heart:

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Luminizer mascara for hazel eyes: A very nice mascara. I'm a fan of Volume Million Lashes anyway, so this one wasn't going to disappoint.

Tikei Concealer Yellow

This is a mineral concealer/corrector. I use a lot of it because it covers pretty much anything and it also works as a highlighter on me.
I have bought a new one, can't live without it because I have really bad dark circles.

Larita 20-12-2012 02:31 AM

Lancome Effacernes concealer. I'm on my 6th tube and I am done looking for the perfect concealer.

My Clairins eye gel :shock:

La Roche Posay Effaclar cream cleanser - I love this stuff! Never irritates my skin and cleanses. Already started using my new tube.

You can take the packaging to your closest Origins store for recycling ... I just did this yesterday. I had a whole (small) shopping bag full. Don't even ask me what was in there, but I know there was Clinique Even Better serum, which I like but doesn't seem to be working as well as it used to. Replaced with Origins Mega-Bright.

They accept plastic and glass cosmetics packaging.

Recycling is one of the reasons I'm brand loyal to MAC--they take back (as you probably already know, but in case anyone doesn't) their plastic packaging, and 6 empties get you a free lipstick, or at the MAC store an eyeshadow or Lipglass (it's only some of the lipglosses, the little ones I think?? it's gotten a bit complex ...)

I have to see where there's one located near me. Maybe I'll finally be able to empty out a drawer.

http://www.ars-cosmetica.com/forum/i...smiley1285.gifThe Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Butter: Best buy from The Body Shop EVER! It might be the best smelling (effective too) thing that The Body Shop sells. Why isn't TBS available in my country? :cry:

Bioderma Sensibio H20 Solution Micellaire: I thought this stuff was amazing (though it did irritate my eyes when I was wearing heavy, professionally done smokey eyes).

Untill I discovered Vichy Pureté Thermale 3-in-1 Calming Cleansing Solution. :king:

Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel - my favourite cleanser, I will probably repurchase this after I finish my Nuxe cleansing gel...

I finished The Body Shop Cranberry Joy shower gel which was a limited edition for Christmas - I liked the smell a lot, but it really doesn't even come close to my Lush shower gels.

Lush Whoosh shower jelly - I love this. Very fresh citrusy smell, and it was perfect when used with my exfoliating gloves. I even used this on my face several times, it made my skin very soft and didn't dry it out.

The Body Shop Satsuma Body Polish: I love these shower gels (Strawberry Body Polish is my favourite!), but this scent is just horrible. :ninja: Which is odd, I'd normally choose citrusy scent, but not in this case.

Essie Good to Go: The best top coat I've ever used. Though it thickens up after you use about 2/3 of the bottle.

Balea Soft Öl Balsam: Very nice dry skin relief lotion. It's a real treat to use.

Aussie Mega Shampoo, 500ml - my go-to shampoo, I have repurchased this already

Anatomicals You Need A Bloomin Shower Body Cleanser, 150ml - smells sooo good :heart: I probably will repurchase this later once I get through some of the shower gels that I already own. I don't like the tube packaging though, I found it hard to open...

Lush Twilight shower gel, 250ml - this one was too sweet for me. But my husband loved it and used it up very quickly :p
