Please Don't Go.....Repurchase or Not? {7}

on
    I know it's been a while but I was on vacation, and I have been really busy with grad school and something else that you will know about mid March.  Basically I have been marking things off my 30 Before 30 List and will have updates hopefully the end of March.  If not by then April will be back to normal or better than normal. 
    So another empties!? This month went super fast but I have working fast to get through some products and I am pretty happy.  My January Empties is here if you want to check it out, anyways let me know if you have tried any of the below products and how you liked them and if I should give them a second chance.

  1. Loreal Oleo Therapy Oil Infused Shampoo & Conditioner **sample- I loved this shampoo and conditioner and they were both a nice thick and smelled amazing.  I usually pass on my hair samples but I kept this one and got quite a few uses out of it.  I would definitely repurchase these because they were moisturizing and I liked the consistency but I need to use up some of my current product first.

  2. Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin, and Nails Gummies- I take 2 of these a day (the packaging says 4) and they taste great and I have been noticing that my hair is growing and seems thicker.  I am going to continue taking them to see what happens and I may up the amount I take to see a bigger difference, but they are inexpensive, taste great, and they don't break me out so why stop?
  3. Bath & Body Works Intense Moisture Body Butter in Japanese Cherry Blossom-Love the scent, not really the product.  I like body butters that are thicker and more greasy or Vaseline like, hope that makes sense.  When I mix it with baby oil or bio oil its fine and lasts alllll day and my skin glows but if I don't it seams like I'm ashy within 10 minutes.  I do have another one that I keep in my travel bag that I will use but after that is gone I will not repurchase. 
  4. Victoria's Secret Such A Flirt Fragrance Mist ** sample- This was a gift and I liked the smell, it was really light and floral and did not last very long.  I wouldn't repurchase just because I have others I love but it was decent for everyday wear.
  5. French Lavender Shower Gel ** sample- This was another gift and it was one of those no name brands that come in a set and it wasn't bad but I wouldn't recommend buying it.
  6. True Blue Spa Cashmere & Silk Hand Cream ** sample- This is my favorite hand cream and I have backups already (even though I have a million subscription box samples).  I love the consistency and the smell is not very strong but it is very moisturizing and it lasts.  I already have backups and will continue to purchase.
  7. ELF Makeup Mist & Set- You already know how much I love this! No need to tell you again.
  8. Philosophy Loveswept Body Lotion- Same as the body spray, light smell, decent product.  It wasn't the most moisturizing alone but it worked good enough while it lasted, I would not purchase.
  9. First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser ** sample- This was a fairly good cleanser but with it being so small I can't give you the best mini-review, I didn't break out and it definitely did cleanse but I wouldn't purchase without having a larger sample.
  10. Fresh Soy Face Cleanser ** sample- If I remember right I liked this cleanser and the fresh feeling and smell.  I would look into it as a repurchase but after using a larger sample and trying it out more days than one.
  11. Glam Glow Super Mud Clearing Treatment ** sample- I am so happy I got this sample because I have thought about buying the full-size and I actually did not really like this.  It didn't do anything spectacular and it's the second glam glow product I have tried so I think I will give up on them.
  12. Tata Harper Next Generation Beauty Regenerating Cleanser ** sample- Another product that I cannot really remember how much I liked it but I do know I didn't break out so that counts for something.  I probably would not repurchase at this time but possibly in the future.
I decided to keep track of how many products I use up this year so at the end of each empties post I will tally up the info and hopefully work through majority if not all of my stash by the end of the year. (I count small travel size products as samples)
