If you are wondering where I have been it's been right at home working and doing homework, not the most exciting but I have really been busy. And I have been kind of bored with blogging or really not knowing what to blog about, I am sick of doing the subscription box posts because they are all the same as every other subscription box post so those are gone! I have started the Saturday Haulin' posts but obviously I don't shop every weekend or have something new every weekend so those will be sporadic. So I decided today that I will stop trying to post as many posts as possible just to say I posted but to post things of value and that I am actually excited about or enjoying. Hopefully you will stick around to see what is to come! Subscribe or follow my bloglovin link and I love comments!
Now that I am done rambling... Here we go with yet another empties which are my favorite to post and my favorite to read. I like working through the piles and piles of products I have and trying new products that will help me find my staple favorites.
1. Equate Aloe Vera & Vitamin E Baby Oil- Who doesn't love baby oil? This is not something I bought recently but something that only had a small amount left so I decided to go ahead and use it up. I use baby oil in bath water when I take a bubble bath but mostly to mix with my body lotions. Idk about you but I love oils mixed with body lotions, I feel like it is more moisturizing and gives a nice sheen so that is what I use it for. I liked the smell and it is effective, nothing spectacular about it that we don't already know about baby oil.
2. Cinema Secrets Professional Grade Makeup Brush Cleaner-Quick Drying Rinse-Free Formula **sample**- All I have to say is GET YOU SOME! If you hate cleaning your brushes and sitting at the sink and all that then you need this. I don't clean my brushes often at all just because I hate doing it and it takes to much time so I was watching Nicole Guerriero on Youtube (no I am not associated with her or her Youtube channel but I do love her channel) and she showed a Demo of this and I bought some on amazon. Here is the link, thank me later! It is amazing cleans the brushes effortlessly and dries immediately. The only con is that the initial smell is very strong, now once you finish cleaning it smells like vanilla but before that it has a really strong alcohol/finger nail polish remover smell and it is a tad expensive but other than that I love it and am planning on buying the biggest bottle very soon. BTW, this small bottle got me one use through all of my brushes but I have a lot, they were all dirty and hadn't been cleaned in probably 1+ months.
3. MaryKay Botanical Effects Freshen for Dry Skin- I love this and I use it as a morning toner. the instructions say to use it with a cotton ball/pad but I just spray it all over my face and let it dry before putting on my serum, eyes cream, and moisturizer. This is not my first bottle of this and I actually already re-purchased but I purchased the one for normal skin because I feel like I am getting more oily but if you have dry skin try this its great and refreshing.
4. Caress Emerald Rush Body Wash- This has been mentioned in previous posts like this one here so no need to go on and on. I love Caress body washes of any scent and will continue to repurchase them
5. Bath & Body Works Fragrance Mist in "Sun" **sample** - As you know I have trying to get through my fragrance stash and I have made quite a dent. I loved this smell because it was warm and a little floral. Perfect! I will repurchase, well once my stash is empty
6. Studio 35 Beauty Textured Cotton Rounds - These are basic cotton pads that I use to apply my toner at night, nothing special but they were pretty cheap at Walgreens and it came in a pack of three.
7. Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator - I love this face scrub, it is amazing and I like that it has a lot of tiny beads and is quite "rough". I don't like gentle scrubs so this one is really may favorite and it lasted forever. I did a review on a it a long time ago, here. I would definitely consider repurchasing it when I want a more high-end scrub but right now I am exploring some drugstore face scrubs so I won't be purchasing it again just yet.
8. Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in "Tropical Mango" - I love these scrubs and I love this scent. This is the second one I have purchased, one here in one of my other empties smelled great and so did this one. It is still not my all time favorite body scrub but it definitely a keeper, especially for the price!
9. Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes - Love these wipes, they are my new favorite wipes and I have talked about these in my past empties posts. I have backups already, right now I am using some I got in an ELF Beauty Bundle but once I use up all of those I will back to my regularly scheduled program. I love how wet they are, I hate wipes that feel dry after one wipe...these wipes stay wet, smell great, get everything off (even waterproof makeup), and they are reasonably cheap.
10. ELF Lip Exfoliator - I have multiple backups of these and they last sooooo long. This is the first one I ever bought an I must have had it for a year or more. Once you get too close to the bottom you have to just get rid of it because the "exfoliating" part of it is really rough on the lips but other than that it is great. I stopped using my Lush lip scrub for this and it is even moisturizing and although I try not to eat it, it does taste good. I mean its almost impossible to not get a small taste when its on my lips right?
11. Nature's Bounty Hair, Skim & Nails Gummies - These are not new, I have went through a bottle or two and they are just vitamins, nothing special but I will repurchase. My hair is in HORRIBLE condition right now so I can't really tell how much repair it has done or growth but they do taste good so I see no reason in stopping.
12. Gilchrist & Soames Shower Gel **sample** - This smelled amazing and I didn't have to use too much to get a good lather or get squeaky clean. I got this in one of my subscription boxes and probably will not purchase but not for any particularly bad reason.
13. Simple Sensitive Skin Experts Cleansing Facial Wipe **sample** - I though these wipes were ok, not my favorite but I definitely did not hate them. They just are not as amazing as my Neutrogena wipes so I won't buy them but they were ok while they lasted.
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)
