It's empties time! I
like empties. It's a nice review time of things that I've used for the month. I
get to reflect on if I liked a product or if I'm scratching my head and
wondering why on earth I bought it. So let's get to it!
I used 2 face masks and 1
eye mask this month. I just reviewed them yesterday. I know. I'm a slacker.
I'm going to do better in April. I picked up a few samples from Sephora and I
am so excited to try them.
Avon Bubble Bath. Don't judge me! LOL. There are 3 bubble bath's this month; Fresh Peach,
Dark Orchid & Raspberry and Vanilla Cream. I liked the Vanilla Cream the
best. It's a soft, clean scent. Fresh Peach is next. It's very peachy but not
overkill. The Dark Orchid &
Raspberry is last. It was ok. The scent wasn't bad, it just didn't wow me. I
have 5 or 6 bubble baths open at a time. I like to have a variety to choose
from each time I take a bubble bath. That's why you see so many empties at one
time.
Keeping with the
bath time theme, I have used a CVS brand Comfort Moisturizing Body Wash. This
one was a brown sugar scent. It was a nice scent, good lather and of course, a
really good price. I bought mine on sale and I had a CVS coupon. I have a few
other CVS scents that I am working my way through. There will probably be more
next month. I also have a TON of shower gels and body washes open at any given
time. It takes a lot to get through them because I keep switching it up.
I used a Secret deodorant.
Probably a bit TMI for you but Secret is the only deodorant that I use. It's
the only one that works for me. I've tried other and well, they tell on me.
There's a Sephora
sample of YSL
Éclat Radiant Touch that I was not fond of (I know, I must be the only
person in America). I tried it several times but it just didn't work for me.
I finished a
bottle of Mizani
Spradiance High Gloss Serum. I go through a bottle every 3 or 4 months. I
love it. I use it when I flat iron my hair and I mix it with leave in
conditioner twice a week and then let my roots soak up all its goodness. It's
expensive but the cheaper ones don't work as well.
Yes, that is pure
acetone remover. Don't yell at me. I only use it once a week or so and I've
been using nail treatments after each polish removal. They are getting strong
but they aren't growing longer. I don't know the answer folks. I just keep
trying to bring them back to life after my gel nail fiasco. It takes me a
loooong time to use a bottle so you probably won't see another one for quite a
while.
I finished a pack
of Equate brand Original Clean Wet Cleansing Towelettes (comparable to Pond's
Original Fresh Wet Cleansing Towelettes). My purpose for buying these was
makeup removal. I've discovered that most towelettes don't remove enough makeup
for me. I just don't feel clean after using them. I currently use them to when
going on vacation or staying in a hotel. I don't like putting other people's
towels on my face so I use these as my towels (cray cray fact about me). I also
use these for hand swatch removal or makeup incidents in the morning (mascara
wand hitting the nose, dark blue eyeshadow fall out, you know the deal). I
probably won't buy any more of these. They just don't do the trick. I have a
drawer full of different types and some of those work a bit better than these.
I've begun using
exfoliating gloves. Hellojerree on YouTube got me to try them. This isn't
really an empty because I'm currently using the gloves but, I don't plan on showing
you the gloves when I'm done. Yuk! So far I've used the gloves once. They do
exfoliate and your skin does feel good afterwards. You do wonder if you are
scraping your skin off if you aren't gentle though. I'll keep using them and
I'll let you know what I think next month.
And, I'm a
tossing out 2 makeup brushes. It makes me feel better to toss old brushes when
I buy new brushes. This month I'm tossing a Wet n Wild makeup brush that I tried out and an e.l.f. smudge brush .
The Wet n Wild makeup brush was
terrible so I would never buy it again. The e.l.f. smudge brush was fine but it
started shedding sooner than I like. I did get my $1.00 out of it many times
over but I've invested in a few better smudge brushes.
And that's what's
in my trash this month! A lot of tried and true things that you will probably
see again. What's in your empties? Will you repurchase? What are you kicking to
the curb?
