Spring Empties - 2022

 Hello, everyone! How was your weekend? It's finally getting hot here (we just had our first 100 degree day of the season) and I'm loving the sunshine! We had our first beach trip of the summer on Saturday and our son had a blast playing in the sand and running through the water.

On to the empties! Here are the products I've used up over these last few months.

Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Clinical Densifying Foam Conditioner

I'm not a fan of this. The foam texture was weird and it didn't make my hair feel soft at all. The scent is very strong and unfortunately it's not the best smell.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown

 

I love this brow pencil. I will always repurchase this until I find an inexpensive that I love.

Aquaphor Lip Therapy

 

I didn't like this either. The scent (and taste when it gets in your mouth) is just bad and it didn't help with my chapped lips at all. This was very thick and felt gross on my lips too.

Living Proof Intense Moisture Mask

This was nice. The scent was nice, and my hair felt so soft and healthy after using this. I would definitely purchase this.

 

 

 Soap & Glory Clean On Me

 

I really like this body wash. The smell is good, and my skin felt clean but also moisturized.

 

 

One/Size Go Off Juiciest Makeup Remover Wipes

I really wanted to like these so bad. I like the size because they're gigantic, but these were incredibly dry! Which doesn't make sense when they're advertised as "juiciest" makeup remover wipes. I also felt a weird oily residue all over my face after using these. Unfortunately, I won't repurchase these again.

 

Ole Henrickson Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment

I quite enjoyed this. My skin felt so smooth and youthful thanks to this! I would repurchase this in a heartbeat.

 

 

Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Ultra Shea Body Cream

I love the smell of this, but I don't think I'll repurchase it any time soon. I just don't feel like it moisturizes my skin enough.

 

Bite Beauty Agave Lip Balm

This was okay. It's very thick and waxy feeling, but it did help with my chapped lips quite a bit. Unfortunately Bite Beauty is going out of business, so I can't even repurchase this if I wanted to.

 

 

I also used up a 30 oz. tub of the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, but it got thrown away before I could get a picture of it.

 

That's everything I was able to use up! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!
