Fall Empties - 2020

 Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?  Who's excited for Christmas?!  I think we all need some holiday cheer in our lives right now.

As usual, I don't have too many items to share with you, but here are the products I've used up these past few months.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion

I have repurchased this lotion so many times.  I really like it because it's not overly scented and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy for hours after applying.

Glam Glow Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturizer in Nude Glow

 

This was okay.  If you're wearing it alone (not under makeup) it makes your skin look VERY shiny!  My hands definitely had glitter all over them but I couldn't really see the glitter on my face.  It is also highly scented.  The scent isn't bad, but I can still smell it on my face hours later and I'm not a fan of that.

Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Water

 

I really like this stuff!  I don't know what's in this to make it remove every ounce of makeup, but it's incredible.  I will absolutely be repurchasing a full size of this!

 

 

Eyeko Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner

This was fine.  It could be a darker black, but it isn't awful.  I don't particularly like felt tip liners, so this isn't an eyeliner that I will repurchase.

 

Victoria's Secret Amber Romance Body Lotion

 

This scent is nice.  I'm not sure it does too much in the way of moisturizing though.  No matter how many times I applied it, it didn't seem to make my hands feel any softer.

 

Tula Skincare Dual-Phase Skin Reviving Treatment Pad

These are quite interesting.  One side of the pad is white and contains the fibers and serum that you rub over your face and the other side is blue and exfoliates your skin.  My skin did feel really soft after I used this though.

 

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream

I'm really glad I used some of my Sephora points for this instead of buying a full size container.  I'm pretty sure this broke me out.  After I incorporated this into my skincare routine I began to get little whiteheads all over my face.  Needless to say, I won't be purchasing this.

 

L'Oreal Pure Clay Masks - Charcoal, Red Algea, and Eucalyptus

It took me a very long time to use these up.  They've been sitting in my bathroom for quite a while so I've been multi-masking with all three of these a lot lately.  My skin does look good right after using these, but I haven't seen any long term benefits.  I'm also not a huge fan of masks that dry down on your skin.  I prefer more moisturizing masks, so I won't be repurchasing any of these.

Those are all the products I used up over the last few months!

 

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing holiday!

 

 

Summer Empties - 2019

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

Unfortunately, I don't have too many items to show you this season.  I'm a new mom (baby Noah just turned 5 months old today!) so I've been pretty busy and just haven't had the time to use many products.  Anyway, here are the few products that I was able to use up over the summer.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

 
Glamglow Bubblesheet Mask

And that's really all I used up.  lol

Thanks for stopping by and reading my super short post, and I hope you have a great week!

Beauty Product Empties - May 2017

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been?

Here are the products that I used up (that aren't included in Project Empty 2017) in the month of May.

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser

This is okay - probably not something I'd purchase though.  It cleansed my face pretty well.  It has a similar consistency to the Cetaphil cleanser, and honestly I'd rather use the Cetaphil cleanser since it's much cheaper and doesn't contain any fragrance.  The scent of this is pretty strong, so if you're sensitive to smell then I don't think you'll enjoy this.

Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment
There's enough product in this tube for three uses, which I guess isn't too bad.  I don't know if I'd ever purchase a full size of this mask though.  The full size jar costs $69.00 which doesn't seem worth it when I didn't notice much of a change after three uses.

 Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser
I really like this cleanser.  It's actually a black liquid that warms up as you rub it into your skin.  The smell isn't bad and my face felt clean after using it.  I may repurchase this later depending on the price of the full size bottle.

So that's all I used up this month.  Sorry this post is short.  I didn't use up many products or wear much makeup this past month because I was so busy.

Thanks for stopping by anyway, and I hope you have a great weekend!
