I almost wasn't going to do an empties this month because I didn't think I had enough stuff... and then I went through and did yet another mascara clean out and suddenly I was drowning in empties a little bit. Anyone else find that they end up with an insane collection of mascara and have to do a cull every few months to get rid of the stragglers? Or is it just me? Anyway, I've got 8 mascaras, some bath & body products, and a couple of other makeup items for good measure in this month's trash basket.

When I pulled out the little bag that I toss my empties into each month to prepare for this post, I had a moment of blinking when I realized just how many little things were in that bag. I did a couple of cleanouts this past month, going through the stuff in my collection that I wanted to give away and that I needed to throw away, so there are some non-empties in here that are just old or unusable now, which I've included in this post. This is really a mixed bag of things that really worked for me and others that really, really didn't.

I feel like, as a blogger, there's almost a different sense of accomplishment in being able to use things up. Anyone else feel this way?  Maybe it's because the stuff I use up ends up sitting in a cardboard box under my vanity until the end of the month, giving it more weight than if I just tossed it. Anyway, this month I didn't actually use up a ton of products, but I did decide to dump out the container that I keep mascaras for way too long in and do a bit of a cull, which makes up the bulk of this empties. That said, there are definitely some rad products in here!

Keep reading to see what I used up in August!

Hey guys! Can you believe we're already into August? I feel like this summer is passing by in a blink - which is pretty usual, isn't it? Anyway, I'm personally super excited for this summer to pass because at the end of it one of my best friends is coming to visit me for my birthday and I haven't seen her in year, but people keep telling me not to rush through summer! Anyway, with the end of the month, of course, comes empties! I think I have a decent amount of stuff I've used up this month and there's definitely some serious winners in this bunch so definitely keep reading to check them out!

After the epic flurry of empties that I had for last month, this month is a little bit underwhelming. I thought about holding off and doing this post at the end of July, but I had some really great makeup empties that I really wanted to share with you guys. This post is actually full of a lot of products that I really, really love and have repurchased multiple times, so I think it's worth giving a read!

To see what I used up this month... Proceed!

The past few months have been pretty busy for me and I've skipped a couple of months of Monthly Empties, so my empties box was getting pretty full and it was about time I showed you guys what I've used up since the weather got warm. I'm actually trying more and more to focus on using up products in my collection, rather just shifting my attention to whatever is new on the market so that I have a bunch of half used products in my collection. Anyone else like that? 

Anyway, keep reading to check out the most epic empties of my blogging career - and because there are so many, I'm going to strive for brevity, which isn't exactly my natural instinct!
