Winter Empties - 2020

Hello, everyone!  Happy Spring!

I have my winter empties for you today.  Again, it's all skincare products.  I just don't wear makeup enough these days to use up an entire product.  *shrugs*

Anyway, here's everything I used up over the last three months.

Bolero Coconut Oil & Sea Salt Paper Facial Mask
This felt nice while I was wearing it, but I didn't notice any difference in my skin afterward.

Soap & Glory Radiance-Boosting Mask
I really liked this mask!  My skin looked amazing after I used this.  My face looked hydrated and brighter than before.  I'll definitely use this mask again!

Lancome Advanced Genifique Hydrogel Melting Mask
This mask was very hydrating too, but I prefer the Soap & Glory mask (it's also a lot cheaper!).

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator
I love this scrub.  I repurchase it any chance I get.

Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser
This was nice, but I don't feel like it's worth its price.  I can get the same clean feeling with cleansers that cost a lot less.

Tula Dual-Phase Skin Reviving Treatment Pad
This was interesting!  One side of the pad has little exfoliating bits and the other side scrubs the granuals over the skin.  My skin felt incredible after using this!  I was given two of these and I need to find out where they're sold so I can pick up some more.

Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner
You've all seen this before.  It's good.  I repurchase it constantly.

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

Collective Beauty Haul

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I haven't been buying too much these days besides replacing frequently used products.  Mostly skincare items since I haven't really been wearing much makeup these days.  Anyway, here's everything I purchased recently!

Noxema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream

Pond's wipes

St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Scrub

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum

That's everything I picked up these last few weeks!

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you have a good week!

Spring Empties - 2019

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been so far?

These are all the products (not included in my Project Empty Challenge) that I was able to use up during the Spring.  It's all skincare because that's pretty much all I've been using lately.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
I really like this lotion.  It doesn't feel greasy and it keeps my skin feeling soft all day.

Noxema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream
I use this all the time and I repurchase it constantly.

First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads
I don't notice a big difference in my skin when I use these.  I do like that they're super easy to use though.

St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Scrub
I like this drugstore face scrub.  I do prefer the Dr. Brandt one more, but it's crazy expensive.

Dr. Lili Fan Probiotic Eye Repair Cream
This kept my under eye area soft and hydrated.  It also smells nice which is always a plus.
 

That's everything I used up!  Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great weekend!

Winter Empties - 2019

Hello, everybody!  How was your weekend?

Here are the products that I used up this season (that are not in my Project Empty challenge).

Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner
This is alright.  I've repurchased this already, but I do prefer the Pixi Beauty Glow Tonic over this.

Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream
The cream is thick but sinks into the skin fairly quickly and it smells nice.  I'm not sure if I like it enough to pay full price for it, however.

Bath & Body Works Wild Madagascar Vanilla Fragrance Mist
I really like this scent.  The vanilla isn't overly sweet.  It's a warm vanilla scent that works perfectly for the Winter months.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum
This made my skin feel nice, but it didn't do enough for me to want to pay $36.00 for the full size.

Hey Honey Come Clean Face Scrub
I didn't like this.  The scrubby bits dissolved so quickly I was barely able to exfoliate my skin at all.  All I was left with was the oil and I didn't like how that felt on my face either.  The smell isn't even good.  Definitely not something I'll ever purchase.

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

Collective Beauty Haul

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?  I got some exciting news on Saturday that I can't talk about just yet, but I'll absolutely let you all in on the secret soon!

Anyway, I have a few products to show you that I've picked up recently.

GVP 1 1/2" Travel Iron
I recently cut my hair shorter than I normally do.  As a result, my ends flip in crazy opposite directions.  I had planned on going my entire life without purchasing a straight iron since my hair is naturally straight, but I definitely need one now.

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator
I did not plan on ever repurchasing this product since it's quite spendy.  However, my SIL has a FabFitFun subscription and she lets me see all the add ons each season and I can purchase whatever I want through her account.  This was only $19.00 as an add on compared to the retail price of $79.00!  Total steal!

It's A 10 Miss America Edition Miracle Leave-In Product
It's A 10 had a promo going on where they were giving this product away for free on their website.  My order confirmation was in April and I only just received this in the mail a couple of weeks ago.  I guess I really can't complain though since it was free.

MAC x Aaliyah Bronzing Powder in Baby Girl
This collection was on sale at Ulta so I picked up a couple of items.  I really like the packaging and I'm hoping this bronzer works for my skin tone.

MAC x Aaliyah Lipstick in Try Again
This lipstick is much darker than I thought it was going to be based on the photo online.  It looked like a light nude instead of a brown.  Since I'm not a fan of brown lipsticks, this one is just going to sit in my LE collection.

Milani Cosmetics Limited Edition Halloween Color Statement Lipstick in Red After Dark
As I've said before, I love dark lipstick during this time of the year.  I can't wait to wear this all Autumn long.  lol!

That's everything!  What are some new products that you've been eyeing lately?

I hope you have a great week!  Thanks for stopping by!

Collective Beauty Haul

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I've purchased a few beauty products over the past few weeks that I want to show you.  Only one is a new product (the rest have been around for a while), but they're items that I've been wanting to purchase for some time.

Wet N Wild Coloricon Baked Blush in Dare to Soar (LE)
I'm not really a blush person, but I decided to pick this one up because I don't have many shimmery blushes in my collection.  I thought this would be nice to have on the rare occasion that I wanted to wear a shimmery blush.
 

Wet N Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powder in Blossom Glow
I've seen this highlighter around for a while (even though the packaging says it's new??) and every time I look for it, it's always sold out.  I recently found it in stock though and I'm so glad I grabbed it while I had the chance because it is such a beautiful highlight shade.

St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Scrub
I finished off the Dr. Brandt scrub that I've been using lately and decided to go back to an old favorite.  I really like the Dr. Brandt scrubs, but they are just too expensive!  I can't justify spending $79.00 on a facial scrub when I can get this one for under $10.00.

Kat Von D Beauty Metal Crush Eyeshadow in Thunderstruck
I'm so very happy that I ordered this before it was gone forever.  It's such a stunning shade to use on the eyes or as a highlighter (for super pale people like me).

Moschino x Sephora Moschino Bear Highlighter
I'm slowly but surely adding more of the Moschino x Sephora items into my collection.  I think this whole collection is so cute and cool.  

Sunday Riley Saturn Sulfur Acne Treatment Mask
This was a free sample with my Sephora order, but I'm excited to try it out!  I haven't had the chance to try anything from this brand since it is so expensive.  Have you tried anything from Sunday Riley?  If so, what is your favorite product?

That's everything! Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have a great week!
