A YEAR OF EMPTIES! Products I've Used Up | Ingrid Nilsen

[@LaurenTruelove]

I love empties hauls!!!! This way you know they actually love the product❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@itsollieyx3]

Especially when there's a sponsored product in the empties video!

[@helenwright5067]

Liviee Salvatore what was sponsored???

[@erikamoulton]

Agree!!

[@marianandp2683]

yeah that way we know its not sponsored

[@SimoneAlexandra]

Helen Wright the micellar water, wipes, etc

[@leahchapman5490]

I love your chatty sit-down videos! They're always so informative.

[@Breealeena]

Thank you so much Ingrid for being you and being out. I was so excited and appreciative when you, as a beauty youtuber and someone I admire, decided to share that part of your life. I finally had representation in a community that I still feel is not diverse enough. Finally someone to relate to in several different ways. You have no idea how much it means. Stay awesome. Bree

[@tatchabeauty]

It's an honor to help you melt the day away, Ingrid

[@kaykay5773]

Thanks for doing an unsponsored video Ingrid!!! I love it when you just chat to us!!!! It makes me feel like you care! I love empties hauls!!! I always wonder if you tubers continue to use the products.. or just keep trying new ones!! Thank you Ingrid!!

[@julianacastillo6295]

this is a youtuber that work hard in their video! one year of work!! congrats, Ingrid for not being like most of youtubers that once they get millions of subscribers they do low quality videos.

[@megzys]

Ingrid, I have the same problem with my NARS concealer. I finally used tweezers to pull the rubber stopper out and now I can scrape the sides of the tube.

[@mandalevelsup]

definitely not the only one who wants to finish out a palette. there's a whole for project pan and pan that palette videos, and they're great.

[@nicholejacklyne]

INGIRD IS ALWAYS SO LOVELY✨✨💅🏼💅🏼

[@erikamoulton]

agree ❤

[@joanjenna6561]

It's very kind to share your products that you used in 2016 with us Ingrid, its Nice to see how you care for your hairs etc... that's also why they are beautiful. ☺

[@Seapatico]

Thank you for making this! What I love about your channel is when you are super real and upfront, so this was a delight. It was great to hear you talk about things like your gf, your anxiety, and how sponsorship affects your channel. ♥️ In the future, I would LOVE to see you continue to being the realness of your podcast over to your channel more. I know that can be touchy, but I love it. Also, I would LOVE to see you interview / chat with influential people who are doing important things in the world; artists, activists, volunteers, etc. Thank you for being the Queen! ♥️

[@lindsayrigby707]

Yes, I would love to see this again next year!! I find empties hauls to be some of the most useful videos because once someone has gone through a full product, they've had the time to really form their opinion and decide whether or not to buy it again.

[@AlliesBeautyTips]

Ingrid seems to really love hair products. all i use is shampoo

[@HeatherRising]

Haha I don't have the patience to style my hair most days. I'm in your boat, as well. :)

[@colorfulworldofv]

Same! I do the makeup, I do the outfit, and then I reject the hair.

[@nikaolvas3991]

all you need is shampoo lol

[@Avalee04]

Arnavi Sutaria, I am the same here. I do everything but hair... well I recently went to this new Solon by where I live and turns out my scalp and hair was in really bad shape! which explains why I was loosing so much hair... so my new goal for 2017 is to take care of my hair. I switched my hair routine with more gentle organic shampoo with conditional. I also do treatments once in a while and hair essence daily.

[@colorfulworldofv]

+Hyeyeun Yim With my hair, I just put it in a bun and then I'm out the door. I want to do different things with it this year though.

[@yanazavgorodniy]

These are the videos I trust on KZbin. So many people claim they love certain products, mention it once and then you never hear them rave about it again. You kept your empties so I know these are the products you believe in (:

[@daniellegoodman3211]

this video made me so happpyyyyyy. Please please please do it again next year!!!!!

[@Kelly11231983]

I love the background music! You have grown so much over the last 7 years I've watched you on your channel. I love you!

[@meaghanmacfarlane9557]

Ingrid... to get the leftover product in the NARS concealer, put it in a cup of warm water and it will melt down to the bottom. Works like a charm!

[@ricahhh_9052]

As someone who also experience breakouts, I really take down notes your recommendations and it helped me a lot! especially the Kiehls clearly corrective and midnight concentrate. 💗

[@1yyujin]

is it just me or something about ingrid makes me motivated to be productive & take care of myself...

[@assemblyizeable]

Also, I really liked the idea of this video and I'd love to see one for 2017 as well. I think it speaks volumes as to how much you enjoyed or used a product, and what kind of lasting hold it has on you. It's also nice to hear how you feel about it after a year, instead of just a month! Pretty cool.

[@mslooloo100]

Please do this again! I love learning what new products I should try this year!

[@Emilyandthezoo]

I think this was a really cool idea for a video because it is evidence whenever you do a favorites video how much you actually like the product and it shows how much you've spent over the year on certain things

[@melissagandarinho1288]

I love that you have so many cruelty free and vegan products and brands. Hope you can continue to feature those brands and that lifestyle with this year.

[@TheChocolateCube101]

25:30 a tip for the NARS creamy concealer - i removed the little plastic stopper that scrapes the access product from the wand. when i removed it i used the concealer for a few extra months.

[@yunshuf3]

Please make another one of these next year! It was really interesting to see how far certain products will take you throughout the year!

[@kc072]

Yes please do this again next year! I love seeing what products you repurchase.

[@jessleung0529]

this takes a lot of dedication. i love cleaning so holding onto trash would be so hard.

[@jennalloyd2974]

Loving the light piano music in the background lol ive never realized it before but it's so relaxing

[@amkurthy6640]

There is something intensely satisfying about finishing a product, whether it's makeup, hair, hand soap, food... anything. it feels like "Yeah! I used it all and didn't waste a drop!"

[@MsZalalala]

hi ingrid! would love to see your current hair routine cause it looks so refreshingly healthy! and here's many love for you! 💕💕💕💕

[@alygirl612]

To get that last bit of primer you are going to have to pry out that stopper... Needle nose plyers work the best.

[@kaceyagogo123]

Please do again next year! Was such a good breakdown of products and year long "review" of those products! Was also a good reminder to myself about using what you have first and pairing down waste if possible! Thanks for sharing, Ingrid! Happy New Year!

[@BeckHeinsen]

I hope you do a 2017 empties haul next year! loved this one, it was super helpful :)

[@stankovicjelena11]

Hair and makeup are looking so simple and amazing at the same time, loved it!

[@tssdesigner1997]

Get the spatty!! I saw it on shark tank, its a little spatula made to scraps makeup off the sides of your product containers!!

[@previousLousia1236]

Hello Ingrid, I have a tip for your nars concealer. Put some very warm water, but not boiling, into a mug not to the brim. Put your nars concealer in the mug for a couple of minutes to make the formula just a bit more watery until it slowly melts to the bottom of the tube. let it dry naturally. This works for me with every product. hope this helps

[@itsthaliaa]

I wonder how much this all added up to ? Love this yearly empties video, hope you do it next year too!

[@hannahransom1704]

LOVE LOVE LOVE a whole year of empties!! Great video, please do it again for 2017!

[@lauren2642]

I really liked this video actually, it felt like the sweet, genuine Ingrid we all used to see more often in your older videos. I know you're the same person as always, but I just felt like you were more relaxed and true to yourself here :)

[@theresag.4188]

I did this for the past few years. it seemed kinda crazy and I don't even do youtube but every year I would take out the bag and by bag I mean HUGE trash bag!.... and spread it all out and take a pic of it all. it's definitely interesting seeing what was the most popular items and rediscover some items. I never thought a youtuber would do this! glad Ingrid did this now I don't feel like a crazy person!

[@schonnikki]

Nars concealer tip! Use tweezers to pop off the topper & you are able to scrape the concealer on the sides of the tube ☺️💖

[@isaun6523]

Nikki Chow thanks for the tips can u do the same with Mac concealer?

[@schonnikki]

2be you. Most lipglosses & concealers that come in tubes all have toppers. This is mostly to contain the product & prevent spillage. However, if you're on your last stretch, you can use tweezers to pop it off and scrape out the remaining product to get your money's worth 😉 Hope this helps!

[@isaun6523]

Nikki Chow thanks for advice. I will have to try your tips. Be well.

[@isaun6523]

Nikki Chow what do think about cover girl mascara vs the better than sex mascara❓and cover girl mascara vs the Maybelline mascara❓which mascaras In your opinion are the top and your favorites?

[@schonnikki]

2be you. It depends on what look you're going for 😉 The first thing I normally look at when buying a new mascara is the wand. I personally think that wands are extremely important to application. I like the ones that are thicker and have longer bristles. Some people say that it's harder to reach all the lashes & is harder to control. However, I think if you get the hang of it, it'll get easier. The reason I like the thicker wands with many bristles is because they pick up product better. The ones with plastic wands make it difficult to transfer mascara from the tube to your lashes. The second thing I look for is formulation of the mascara. I personally like them thicker & slightly less wet. This kind of formula is my favourite, because it gives off more voluminous & more lengthy results on your lashes. The thinner, more wet formulas, again, make it difficult to apply the lashes. Which makes you dip back & forth into the tube more often. When you dip the wand in & out more, it dries out the mascara quicker, and you're unable to use the rest of it 😢 The thicker formulas allows you to put on less applications and you won't waste as much product. I've tested the too faced mascara before, and I think it produces good results. However, I think the diorshow blackout mascara is better for your money! It does an excellent job at achieving both length AND volume without clumping too much. It is only $2 more than the too faced one! According to Sephora, too faced is $23 (US) and Dior is $25 (US). Don't let the designer brand frighten you, because the price differences aren't that drastic when it comes to mascara. I personally find myself going back to this mascara despite trying more expensive ones. Too faced in my experienced clumped too easily. The dior one dries at a reasonable pace & has great formulation & versatile wand. I hope this helps! Thank you for asking! It made my day ☺️

[@doyourememberanna]

Also, your hair is goals.

[@jillapalooza]

I have such a hard time deciding when to replace my beauty blenders. whenever I do I can tell the difference in application but it always feels so wasteful. loved seeing your year of empties!

[@grosscousine]

You can take the stopper out of the Nars Concealer. Thats the small plastic piece in the bottle that usually prevents excess product to get on the wand. I do this all the time especially with Concealers and Lip Glosses ☺️

[@ajkhalil123]

I accept the challenge of using up a palette! I have about 7 eyeshadow palettes, some new and some I've had for years and I haven't hit pan on any except for one. I feel that I need to stop purchasing eye palettes and focus on using up what I have before it goes bad. I'd love to see you do a year of empties next year and hopefully palettes that you've used up!

[@shhhlisten4850]

For the concealer, set it in a cup of hot water & let it sit in there for 10-15 minutes as that will help it liquefy. Afterwards take it out, make sure the cap is on tight and put it in a cup (no liquid) (or whatever storage you have for makeup products) BUT.... store it UPSIDE DOWN. The product will re-thicken after it cools off & if you always remember to store it upside down, you will be able to get more use out of your products. Other things I store upside down (but don't heat) are lip gloss, nail polish, foundation etc. hope this helps!

[@zoemonten316]

You should do an updated day/night skincare routine! Or maybe a travel skin care routine/tips for skin while traveling! Every time I leave the mountains my skin freaks out!! I'd love to see your well traveled tips on combating that!!

[@jodiechanmusic1]

Please do this again next year Ingrid! I love watching empties videos.

[@internetordinary]

This was such a great idea! It also helps to see how much packaging comes from the products we use everyday. Would love to see one for 2017.

[@ddxo]

Just wanna throw it out there that you have some of the most original/interesting ideas on KZbin. I hope you continue to make creative content like this

[@lynnifer1194]

I love this because it shows the amount of product you actually need for a year! It gives a lot of scope :)

[@kimmmyberleyy]

I really enjoyed this video Ingrid. Please do this again next year. I love watching empties videos and it was so interesting to see a whole year all together.

[@crookedclouds]

pull out the little plunger/stopper thing from your NARS concealer! that way you can move the wand around more easily and be able to see in.

[@tatem4191]

LOVE this video so much!!! Your opinion means so much to me, i really trust you when you love/recommend a product!

[@ashleytune1598]

obSESSED with the kate somerville moisturizer. I've never had a moisturizer that's so hydrating yet absorbs so easily.

[@laurencebd1289]

Please do it again next year Ingrid!! I really appreciated this video! Also, can you tell us what eyeshadows, lipstick and bronzer you are wearing in this video please, the whole look is really gorgeous! 😊 xo

[@bailimay6203]

Totally do this again Ingrid! It was so helpful!!

[@andreagardner1]

I feel like this is "old-school" Ingrid! I missed her

[@TotalScreamingGenius]

Omg you almost at 4 million subscribers!!!! So proud of you, you deserve every single sub you get! X💛

[@adesperateflourish]

For the NARS concealer grab some tweezers and pry off the little rubber stopper part. It does mean a lot of product will come out on the applicator, but still manageable (and worth it for getting the most out of your money!).

[@phatcurvypinay]

what mascara are you using in this video? your eyelashes are popping out beautifully

[@saaaris123]

Diana Ragub well she said her current mascara is better than sex waterproof so it could be that one.

[@lucylu3417]

Diana Ragub-its Covergirl Plumpify-(waterproof) I have been using it and it's awesome separates lashes and lengthens perfectly Loving it!

[@phatcurvypinay]

Lucy Lu you think so? its what i use and yep, it does wonders. i think it was her who got to use it too! and i prefer it over my high-end ones.

[@ashleynatonski2622]

Love seeing all your empties! Can't wait to see how many you get thru next year!

[@nicolewoods7606]

Please do this again next year! Best empties video ever!

[@Kassiiiiii]

You could try popping out the stopper on the concealer and possibly the product will come out

[@sarabeasley2480]

Loved this! So interesting to see what you've used over a whole year!

[@ajkhalil123]

I also have Tons and Tons of lotions and body sprays, almost all of them received as gifts. My goal for the past few months was to finish them up, which I've been pretty good at. I've used up some lotions and have less than half of each body spray bottle left, making me feel so accomplished! This is helping me declutter counter space on my dresser :)

[@saraheguinn]

I don't typically enjoy watching empties videos but it was really interesting to watch a years worth of empties!! Crazy how many makeup wipes you used 😂

[@mannierox]

No lush products? Does anyone remember when Ingrid was using soooo much lush stuff?

[@queeneva3]

mannierox I was thinking the same thing.. lush opened a store in my town and I really wanted to hear some recommendations

[@ToniCarrington]

that was when joey and her were bffs tb

[@Jmvnn]

I just take off the stopper on the nars concealer lol it gets messy but it does the trick

[@caligurl2424]

You should try cremo shave cream! It's at Walgreens, target, etc. And it's amazing! Moisturizing, close shave, and a little goes a long way!

[@thatssorasha]

You know how all tube products (concealer, liquid lips, glosses, etc) all have stoppers at the neck of the tube to prevent excess product from getting onto the wand? Well I've heard that if you remove the stopper in the NARS concealer, you'll be able to get more product & reach the product on the sides. I haven't reached that point with my NARS concealer so I haven't tried this but hey, it's worth a shot!

[@kari-annefehn7139]

I just love the way you say "shampoo", it's so cute!

[@amandahoopla]

Ingrid! If you remove the rubber stopper on the NARS concealer after you've think you've finished it you get SO MUCH MORE product out! I pulled it out with some tweezers. Only do this after you've used up as much product as possible though because the stopper helps to scrape off excess concealer when you're removing the brush each time. If you remove the stopper too soon while there's lots of product still in the tube it'll get pretty messy. There are some video tutorials online if you search "how to remove rubber stopper nars concealer"

[@ekaterinadellavedova8947]

Loved this! Also made me become aware of how many products we use a year and how much we spend on beauty products.

[@ashleytune1598]

And yes, please do this again next year!

[@georgiam4725]

Sea salt and lavender is my faaaavourite scent! The bath bomb Big Blue from Lush is sea salt and lavender, and it's particularly good for muscle aches due to the sea salt, I use it post-gym regularly. I also have a matching candle which smells diviiiine.

[@georgiam4725]

okay maybe bath bombs aren't such a good idea if you're alergic to baking soda 😶

[@thepuppetmaster1045]

I love long Ingrid videos! Especially empties!

[@feelingbouncy]

when I have lotions with a little amount like yours I put the bottle inside my closet without the lid, the liquid inside starts to evaporate and it gives a nice but delicate smell which you can notice everytime you open it and in your clothes

[@sarahnitka7236]

For the NARS creamy concealer, run the closed tube under warm water for a minute. Melts the concealer on the sides to the bottom where the applicator can reach it!

[@kimjulyofficial]

Formulary 55 is such a beautiful soap!! One of my favourites too! I store one away in my sock drawer just for the lovely scents❤👍🏻

[@rileytibbles]

Ingrid you should try out Lush haircare! The Seanik shampoo bar is so amazing for volume and texture

[@cannsmith]

rileytibbles she used to use them she used to love the shampoo bars like 4 years ago she was also a really big fan of the greased lightning acne treatment

[@Jazminzesati]

rileytibbles what type ofhair do you have? I want to try them but I dont know which one, I have a little bit oily hair but gets fleeky easily 🤦🏻‍♀️😕 haha

[@aliciawillier3223]

Yaaas do this again this year! I missed these empties videos!

[@melissaboyd151]

So strange ... I wasn't sure how I'd like this type of empties video but I liked it a lot, actually I loved it... more than any other I've watched. Thanks. for taking the time to save everything and even more for the great concept! Yes you should do it for 2017 or even annually!!! ❤

[@karamere7211]

Hey Ingrid. I couldn't see all the way down the comments to check if someone has written a suggestion on the NARS Creamy Concealer. At the top of the tube there is a rubber sealing (most similar products will have as a stopper) to ensure no fallout from the tube. I personally had trouble removing the seal but its do-able. Just use tweezers to pry the rubber sealing out (the doe foot will be covered in concealer but the product stays within the tube afterwards). Hope this helps.

[@MissMis77]

Not sure if anyone commented this yet but a good way to get more of the Nars concealer product is to remove the stopper with a pair of tweezers. I only recommend doing this when you're down to the last bits because it is messier on the wand, but it's a great way to get your money's worth. :)

[@melinamaleknia63]

Also, I'm definitely going to try to finish an eyeshadow palette this year!

[@leeshhart]

Flipping love this video the concept of using up products fully is great. Please save them again in 2017

[@NOWLIFIC]

Ingrid, I really enjoyed watching this. What a unique concept to do a year's worth of empties. This makes me want to accumulate mine in the same fashion. Much love, Erin.

[@katymaloney]

I'm down to try and finish up my Naked Basics 2, even though I know it's on the small-ish side..! I've already dented 3 out of 5 pretty significantly, and number 4 is coming along nicely...! Plus it's super useable for every day, I use it for eyes AND brows.. and I like the idea of not wasting any product!

[@IzzyAndMar]

I use the TRESemme thermal spray too! ... 🤔actually now that I think about it I think I got it because of you lol. You have the best hair! It looks so healthy!!

[@IzzyAndMar]

Also, I would love to see an empties haul for 2017 too! :) So fun to watch!

[@1092patriots]

Izzy And Mar totally bought that thermal spray because of her too!!

[@itsollieyx3]

Please bring back 5 minutes for us on your second channel ! D:

[@maiabowman2923]

These are my favorite videos of yours!!! I've been waiting for one of these for so long!!!

[@ElisabethBeautyBrounbjerg]

You might not see this. But as a project panner that focus on using up my makeup i have rescovered that you can tage out the stopper of consealers, lipglosses etc. Then you can use ALL of the product on the sides as well ☺️(And in the panning community we use up hole eyeshadow palettes as well through out a year)

[@ashleyp7882]

In regards to getting all of the product out of the NARS creamy concealer, get a beauty spatula! Very inexpensive on Amazon and it really works to get all of the product out of your makeup tubes! Hope that helps!

[@maddiechronister5578]

Love your makeup in this video! Very bright and pretty!

[@MaryKing13]

Definitely enjoyed seeing your 2016 empties! I need to do this because I don't feel like I actually FINISH a lot of the things I use before moving on to something else. Would love to see a 2017 version too. I'm going to try the palette challenge - such a great idea!

[@perksofbeingdao]

YES! ANOTHER empties for next year please!

[@allywebb8735]

if you put your NARS concealer in a mug of extremely hot water and let it sit for a little bit, it will bring the concealer from the sides down to where you can use it!

[@georgiehaynes9087]

Brilliant idea! I love empties videos and this super awesome 1 year one was brilliant. Go Ingrid! Xx

[@bernadettedupuy50]

I say yes, do a years worth of empties again next year! :-) I would also like to see an up to date morning and night skin care routine. love your videos, they are always so helpful
