June Empties | 2015

Hey everyone! It's that time again! Time for my June Empties!

Hair

L'Oreal Hair Expertise Evercreme Intense Nourishing Conditioner in Camelina - This was actually the second bottle of this particular conditioner that I went through which definitely means something! I really like the smell of it (it's not too harsh,) and it make my hair silky smooth!

L'Occitane Repairing Shampoo & Repairing Conditioner for Dry & Damaged Hair - I received these both as a sample and I honestly wasn't too crazy about either one. It is a little bit minty but I didn't feel as though it stood out or really dramatically changed the state of my hair. I probably would have to try this our for a longer period of time to really notice any dramatic results. It is rather expensive for a bottle and I think I will skip out on purchasing the full sized version. I didn't have the greatest first impression of either the shampoo or conditioner.

Garnier Fructis Full & Plush Fortifying Shampoo & Conditioner - Again, these were samples that I got my hands on and the first thing that I have to say is that I really like the smell! I did enjoy using this but it didn't thicken my hair but I felt as though it did make it a little bit softer. Not sure if I could see myself committing to purchasing a bottle of either though.

Face

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips (8 Count) - I have been repurchasing these for many years and still think that they are effective. I use it once a week on my nose (because I have white heads there,) and am always amazed each time at what actually comes off my nose! I am already on my new box and this is a staple in my skin care routine! I have even got my brother to use these!

Mario Badescu Flower & Tonic Mask (for ALL skin types) - This was mailed out to me as a sample and I did enjoy using it but I'm not completely sold on purchasing the full sized version. In general, I am not very good about remembering to use masks and that is why it took me a while to actually go through this sample. I have nothing bad to say about this product though because it did my face feel very clean, fresh and smooth.

Mario Badescu Strawberry Face Scrub - I honestly loved this product! It was effective at removing my 'lighter' makeup and I loved that the strawberry seeds really gave a good clean to my face! The jar smells delicious and if you are looking for a more 'natural' product, then this is it! I have already added this on to my list of things to buy when I make another trip to The States!

Kiehl's Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream - Let's cut to the chase: I wasn't a fan at all! I didn't care for the smell, it was very thick to apply and I honestly don't think that it did anything to my skin. I was given this as a sample and I don't really have any wrinkles because I am still young. That is probably why it didn't work out for me and that it wasn't my favourite. Would not care to use this product again.

ELF Makeup Mist & Set - I did go through another one of these bad boys this month. I can't get enough of this setting spray and it is one of my holy grail products!

Teeth

Aquafresh Extreme Clean Whitening Action Toothpaste - I received many of these samples at the CNE last year and it works. It is not my favourite toothpaste but it does the job. It is a very standard toothpaste.

Crest Tartar Protection Fresh Mint Paste - I was almost out of toothpaste and decided to pick this up at Wal-Mart because it was on sale. I actually ended up REALLY ENJOYING it! I would definitely repurchase and it is a larger size - 130 mls. I paid around 0.49 cents to 0.99 cents for it. Not too bad at all!

Hands

Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Coconut Lime Verbena - This has been a long time favourite smell that I have continued to repurchase over the years. It is described on the side of the bottle as, "zesty lime, lemon verbena and coconut water."

Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Bourbon Street Buttercream - This is a new favourite! It smells like baked goods and sugary, sweetness! It is described as, "a decadent salute to the flavors of New Orleans."

Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Southern Lemon Chiffon - I actually like this scent better than BBW's Kitchen Lemon hand soap! This smells more like a lemon meringue pie rather than the lemon itself. It reads, "this addictive dessert is a sweet southern tradition."

Vitamins

Nature's Bounty Hair & Nails Capsules with Biotin & Bamboo (150 pills) - I don't find that these work as well as the gummies from Nature's Bounty that I always rave about. These make my nails strong but not as strong as when I'm taking the gummies. I only bought this product because I went to MANY stores and could not find the gummies. I bought this because I had no other option. Another thing I don't like is that there is 'horsetail' listed as an ingredient and you take two boring grey pills twice daily. Not very exciting at all! I say stick to the gummies and I recently found them so I made sure to stock up while I still had the chance!

Anyway, that's about all for now. Sorry I didn't have many products to share with you this month. Keep in mind that I am still recovering from surgery and that played a key factor in my lack of items to show you.

STAY CLASSY.

Thanks for stopping by!
