Insta-Updates: April Empties

May 2, 2012 Paris B 19 Comments

I always see these monthly “Empties” posts all around the interweb, but never thought to post any, simply because I don’t usually manage to finish up anything in a month. Yeah, I’m one of “those people” 😛 But I was clearing out my bathroom and dresser over the May Day holiday and discovered some empties, so here we are! Not quite April nor May Empties but enough for a quick update 😀

Some products I finished up in April :-

  • Toothpaste! Squeezed out the very last bit because I forgot I had no more left in the house 😛
  • Pantene Aqua Light shampoo – the conditioner was finished a long time ago and the shampoo was upended for a while before I resigned myself to the fact there was no more. Last drop was used up.
  • Ah Yuan Swertia Shampoo – After I finished up the Pantene one, I finished up the balance of the Ah Yuan one. Turns out, I quite like the Ah Yuan shampoo now! Might buy a new bottle.
  • Lucas Papaw Ointment – Nightly lip treatment
  • Eucerin PH5 Body wash – Peely sensitive skin begone!
  • Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster pen – cheated a bit. I finished this a while ago and am now only tossing it out. Feeling sentimental because I haven’t replenished 😛

Finished anything lately?

    OOOO I didn’t know Yuan is available in Malaysia! I like their soap, but I don’t experiment so much with hair products because my hair is rather fussy! I like Eucerin lotions but haven’t tried their body wash. With the amount of body wash I have in stock, I don’t think I’ll purchase it anytime soon either :p

      Yup! Ah Yuan has a decent range sold here. I like their soaps too and their shampoo isn’t bad. It takes a bit of getting used to because it doesn’t lather up much, and you don’t use a conditioner after that, but I found I quite like it now, after coming back to it 🙂 I use the Eucerin body wash when I have problems with dry skin which sometimes happens with body washes that are too fragranced or drying and that includes almost all the nice smelling body washes out there 🙁

    Haha I never finish much in a month’s time either so I give myself 3 months time to “collect” a bag of empties! Good job, Paris 😀

      This is the first time I’m collating empties so its quite fun! 😀 I naturally finish all these over a period of time, not in a month. I think that’s impossible 😛

      I love it, but we don’t get it here yet so I can’t replenish 🙁

    The empty toothpaste cracked me up. Why doesn’t anyone else post toothpastes in their empties posts? Isn’t toothpaste a beauty product too, in keeping the breath fresh? 😀

      Haha… that’s what I thought too! We use up loads of toothpaste, so why not count it as an empty 😀

    Now you’re making me feel bad. 🙁

    Nah…just kidding. 🙂
    I think the only thing I used up in April is a toothpaste. LOL.

    I’ve used up a couple of TBS shower gels lately. Using up my samples for day and night creams at the moment. I think my toothpaste will finish this week 😉

      Very good! I’m starting to keep track of my empties and deriving great satisfaction from throwing out empty bottles, tubes and tubs 😀

    I am one of “those people” too! Can never really get to finish one thing. I’ll just suddenly realize I have so many unfinished products some day and then throw them all out together.

      I try to sift though stuff periodically so I don’t end up wasting too much by tossing them out before they expire. I’ve stopped picking up samples because they can be just too much hassle sometimes.
