What Was the Last Makeup or Beauty Product You Completely Finished?

June 20th, 2013 by Karen 47 Comments

Empties!

Was it a bottle of shampoo? Conditioner? A skincare product, lipstick or a much-loved pan of blush?

It’s weird, but whenever I finish, or I’m just about to finish, a skincare product, suddenly I run out of a bunch of other skincare stuff, too.

Like right now I’m maybe two good pumps away from finishing my bottle of MAC Cleanse Off Oil Tranquil, as well as a tube of Neutrogena All-in-1 Acne Control Daily Scrub (I use this on my chin, and it really seems to have helped with my hormonal chin acne), Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser (LOVE this! It doesn’t dry out my skin at all.), Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet (this lightweight moisturizer never gives me breakouts and doesn’t make my skin feel greasy or sticky) and Sunday Riley’s Good Genes Treatment (a brightener that also makes my skin just feel…better).

How about you? Have you completely (I’m talkin’ all the way) finished any makeup or beauty products lately?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I try really hard to finish my MAC stuff so I can do the back 2 MAC thang. So it was probably a lipgloss.

    I’m always fighting with myself to finish things… I don’t know why but it is pretty hard to me finish things… The problem is that I always have a few similar itens ” in use” at the same time… as an example I have four makeup removers “in use”! I use to try hard to not open new things before finish an old one, but i just can’t do that! Sad! My last accomplishment was finish my Avene hydrating serum! I was really happy! (weird girl!).
    I need to comment that I also have acne problem in my chin… I use the Clean&Clear scrub but it is not an unsung heroe! I will try the Neutrogena one next time (just wait the other one finish if I’m strong!). 😉

    Finished off a bottle of Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser,
    La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 and
    SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel. Backups of all are in place!
    I plow through my trusted skincare. Makeup, not so much – there’s just too much to make a sizable dent.

    I have noticed that too, I always run out of products at the same time. I am almost out of a face primer so I need a new one, still trying to decide what to pick. I will have to try that Neutrogena Scrub, I have had some roughness on my chin lately, I think it’s from sweating so much when working out, which my face is not used to, if that makes any sense.

    As of TODAY I will finish my Ole Henricksen ‘Sheer Transformation’ face cream. I am a product junkie, and for me to finish anything is generally a pretty remote possibility. Not this one! It’s light, absorbs immediately and leaves my skin slightly matte but very hydrated. How do they DO that?!

    I almost always finish everything from Paula’s Choice, last was her Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask and her Super Anti-Oxidant Concentrate.
    And I’m almost finished with my second bottle of Best Face Forward – Natural Serum oil. Great subject, thanks!

    Bobbi Brown (matte) eyeshadow in “white”–which I would’ve never thought to even try (not after years in high school and college with frosty white in my palettes! [cringe]), but the MUA who was helping me that day knew what she was talking about. 🙂

    SKincare products I use daily always get finished. Last ones to need replacing- Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion, Mary Kay timewise 3 in 1 Cleanser and Clinique SuperRescue Antioxidant Night oily/Combo skin. Hardly ever finish makeup products, except for foundation or BB creams. My Estee Lauder Daywear BB cream and Shiseido Sun Protection Liquid Foundation will be done by summer’s end.

    Pravana Twist Fiber Paste…it’s the only stuff that gives my short hair texture without making my forehead break out, and I ran completely out (even after scraping out the container with my fingernail) just before traveling. It’s hard to find and only recently was able to get more…my hair looks good and forehead is clear again!

    I recently finished a tube of face primer as well as an eye primer, my beloved black eyeliner from BareMinerals just hit bottom, and my Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream just got used up. And that’s saying something since I don’t finish products often, usually I keep them forever until they’re bad or dried up cause I have so much!

    I finished a tube of Missha M Signature Real Complete BB Cream. I’m thankful I did. My skin tanned a bit during spring and the BB Cream wasn’t quite a perfect match anymore.

    Oh yes! And the same thing happened to me. I think three or four things ran out on me all at once. They were:

    Fresh Sugar Lip Balm (sample size and a full size!)
    Caudalie Vinosource SOS Serum
    Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet (you inspired me to try this!)
    Mario Badescu Alpha Hydroxy Grapefruit Toner
    Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment

    I’ve bought a new lip balm and toner, but I’ve got to get all of my face stuff!

    I actually finished quite some stuff recently, like a pot of Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm (the next pot is already in service), NUXE honey lip balm (I’m now on my third pot), and Aesop scalp treatment (replacement on its way). I don’t know how it works with everyone, but it seems like I always finish everything at the same time!

    I think the only beauty product I’ve ever actually finished is lip balm (like Carmex) – I’m too fickle otherwise I guess with what I use, and a lot of days I just don’t feel like wearing makeup. I don’t wear foundation or some of the things where you use the same product every day, so I have trouble finishing anything!

    i’ve really been working on finishing a lot of my products for the last couple months, I’ve cut my collection almost in half but I still have quite a few things that I want to see go before I buy something new. My last few empties were a say yes to carrots shampoo (hated this so ended up using it to clean my makeup brushes), essie sand tropes nail polish and a revlon lipstick

    bioderma. stuff is amaazing. i feel clean and clear with or without water.
    also one bottle of proactiv cleanser- it took nearly a year to use it all, but it’s become a lifesaver for that once-a-month break-out-fest that just doesn’t happen anymore. i only use it when i feel like something might happen under the skin and it just doesn’t. it stops right there. awesome!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
