This is a weekly feature mainly because I do not want to keep empties in my house for a month! Email your empties pictures to me at subbellaboxes at yahoo dot com. Don’t be shy!
Here are Heat7918’s empties!
Not much this week but I used a couple of 1-time use foils just so I could feel like I was clearing stuff out of my giant stash!
Crest 3D White Brilliance: I got this foil sample in both Target and Walmart so I still have another to use. I actually got 2 uses out of this one… And maybe it’s all in my head but I think my teeth look a little whiter! Not the greatest tasting but certainly tolerable.
SkinMedica Replenish Hydrating Cream: I’m 95% sure this is from BeautyFix and it was very smooth on my skin! Doubt I’d ever pay for a full size but I have many samples to get through before I’ll ever have to worry about that. (And I cut the top off – a la Artemis – in order to get every last drop. Thank you badass goddess!)
Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels: I somehow ended up with 3 of these… So finally decided to use 1 instead of waiting for a special occasion (at which point I would forget to use it anyway). I think 1 or 2 came from Birchbox… And maybe 1 from BeautyFix?? I really liked how these felt when they were on (didn’t slip on me at all) and I thought my eye area looked plump and smooth after! Not sure how long it lasted but I definitely look forward to using the other two. I also am seriously considering trying the To Go Spa “The Eyes” now that they have a mini 3-pack option. (Thank you Brandy from Hello! That’s how I heard about it.)
SubBella – I almost forgot to include Heat’s commentary because I was too busy admiring the fur-free rug. I want to try the Skyn Iceland Eye Gels. I’ll pass on the To Go Spa because they are made in China. People love and rave about them so don’t let that stop you if you want to try them. Let us know if you try them. Brandy is great!

Here’s my empties:
I go through lots of conditioner! I’m always running out of it.
Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner I did not like it. It left my ends feeling dry and crunchy.
Sciabica’s Lavender Extra Virgin Olive Oil Skin Moisturizer: I’m sad to see the moisturizer from the September Herbal Bliss Box is empty. I used it mostly as a moisturizer. I did try it in a salad. I could taste the lavender. I think I like lavender better in baked goods. I loved the moisturizer because it has a strong lavender scent.
Acure Repairing Conditioner: I received the conditioner in the second Target Beauty Box that Subscriptionista reviewed. It works great in my hair.
My Beauty Diary Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask: The Hyaluronic Acid is great for combating rosacea and is dripping in essence. At least it is for me. I buy my masks from Beauteque. It is a sheet mask with cutouts for your eyes, nose, and lips.
Slighted Melted Down the Rabbit Hole Solid Sugar Scrub: The sugar scrub is from the October Out of the Box Sampler Mini Sampler. It is a doughy consistency making it easy to break into smaller pieces. I broke my shower mochi into two pieces. It’s a gentle, moisturizing scrub.
Truly Aesthetic Petit Bath Affirmations: The link is for 10 sets. Don’t faint from the price! The Bath Affirmation is from the October Herbal Bliss Box. Everyone in the family loved the scent. The basil gave it a slightly spicy scent to the bath. I did rub the coconut flakes against my skin as suggested. It was a wonderful treat.
Sophia Organic Soaps Handmade Peppermint: The soap is all gone. It lathered well and had a strong peppermint scent. Everyone wanted to use it!

What do you think of the empties? What empties have you used up this past week or month? Share below and anything else is on your mind.
I still haven’t used up anything! My toothpaste from Eucopia is almost gone though. It’s such a neat little tube that actually rolls up and stays rolled. I haven’t used the Target tooth whitening set, but I’ve been using the ROC and while I think my wrinkles are going away, my skin has gotten WAY oilier than usual!
Who was the Giovanni fan? I got a matching shampoo and conditioner from my last hotel forgot to mention. I haven’t tried it yet though…
I finished my balanced guru scrub (or was that last week)? Empties are not my forte.
I love reading empties! I have a shoe box full. I will try to take a pic with a short review of each. I have not done a dang thing for the past couple of weeks because I’ve been sick. But I did want to tell y’all that thanks to a review (I have no idea which one as I binge read all posts and comments in one night), I have discovered that I love hot tea! I’m 49 years old and have always said I hate hot tea when in reality I had never tasted it. Mature, I know. Anyway, I’m now drinking several cups a day! So thank you to whoever had hot tea on your review! Its bringing me such joy. I only regret that I have given away every sample or box that I’ve received in the past year.
Woot! Thanks for the shoutout Heat7918! The only thing I used up this week was a Nivea Cocoa Butter Lotion foil. I liked it, but like Heat7918, I have so many products to get through before I need to buy a full size product.
Busy weekend for me so I’m still catching up – Sub Bella always has wonderful empties!
Onderria – no idea why the ROC would make your skin oily… it’s supposed to dry you out and maybe make skin flaky!
Pnut – yay for finishing balanced guru scrub! Any empty is a win. 🙂
Susie – I would love to see all your empties and what you thought of them!
Artemis – are you still getting any beauty boxes so stuff keeps piling up? I’m waiting for my 1-year sub to Ipsy to end in February. I can’t cancel Play! by Sephora – that would be silly. I’m having trouble letting go of Birchbox mainly for the points (ugh!) and I love BeautyFix and BoxyCharm… but I think I’m going to have to try to cancel at least 1 of them – if not both. 🙁
