    Default Use it up !! (Have you emptied any bottles or jars lately? )

    Yesterday I did a deep treatment with my old standby conditioners for deep treatment, and wound up using up four containers pretty much all at once. Wow. Definitely a record for me.

    I used up some Joico K-Pak Reconstruct, some Paul Mitchell Super Charged Moisturiser, some Roux Porosity Control and some VO-5 Hot Oil Showerworks.

    This morning, continuing the trend, I used up an ancient jar of Astara's Activated Sea Minerals mask.

    Anyone else created some empties lately?

    Well, I need to create some "empties" Instead of emptying most bottles, I'll use 2/3 of them, and then stow them away in the bathroom closet! (I probably have 20 or some odd bottles hiding in there) Thanks for bringing this up, as I should use some of those during SMT's.

    Nope, I'm a hair/bathroom product minimalist. My parents, on the other hand, drive me crazy with the amount of bottles and such they keep in the bathroom. And yes, I know it's completely irrational.

    I did use up a bottle of Giovanni 50/50 conditioner the other day and am about to use up the rest of my huge bottle of Paul Mitchell shampoo. I have lots of bottles 2/3 to almost full of different things. Maybe I'll use that idea of stirring them all together, putting them in pretty bottles and giving them for gifts!

    I only have a few products in my cabinet, and those actually get used. Sure I emptied some things recently, but those were of those products

    I don't tend to have any almost empty conditioner bottles lying around because I use up anything I don't like for henna glosses. BPAL on the other hand... I just can't seem to throw away empty imps, because they still smell sooooo good! I have begun syringing the almond oil I use on my fingernails into them because then my hands end up smelling really good.

    I almost always use up what I have before I buy something else.

    I tend to give away what I don't use at all. Other things I keep as "back-ups" incase I can't get to the store when I run out of the stuff I love. And, I have about 6 different conditioners going at once. I don't use the same one twice in a row.

    The only bottles I ever seem to empty are conditioner bottles... I go through conditioner like whoa. I also go through CV soap and shampoo bars, but you don't get the satisfaction of having an empty container at the end (which is really alright; yay for less packaging). Conditioners that I try and don't like I usually try [unsuccessfully] to give away, and inevitably end up using them as carriers in deep treatment type things.
