February Empties | 2019

Hey everyone! It's time for another round of empties! Let's go through my trash together and see all the products that I used up in February!

Face

Tatcha The Deep Cleanse (50 ml/1.7 fl oz) - I purchased this from Sephora in the Pore-Perfection kit which also contained the Water Cream. This is a great face wash which I used at night as the second cleanser to remove my makeup. It is infused with natural exfoliants and clarifying extracts to really give your face a good wash! It didn’t dry out my face and I thoroughly enjoyed using it!

The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter (90 ml) - I still stand by this cleansing butter as it is gentle on the skin and does a great job at breaking down makeup. It is affordable and I usually can find it on sale. This product is suitable for sensitive time and lasted me a long time. The only complaint I have is that once you get near the end of the tin, there can be a weird scent. If you haven’t checked out my Clinique Cleansing Balm vs.The Body Shop Cleansing Balm Review & Demo, definitely head on over to that video!

MAC Lightful Marine-Bright Formula Cleanser (30 ml) - This exact cleanser has been discontinued and replaced with another similar product. I used this cleanser in the morning and it worked well for me apart for when the consistency changed near the end of the tube.

Estée Lauder New Dimension Shape + Fill Expert Serum (7 ml) - This product has also been discontinued and was one that I picked up at the Estée Lauder Warehouse Sale | March 2018. I really enjoyed using it and I even brought it with me when I travelled as it was the perfect size!

Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips for The Face (8 count) - I have a strong feeling that they are discontinuing these pore strips because I have seen them on clearance both on store and online at 2 different retailers. These are amongst some of my favourite type of pore strips and I definitely will be stocking up on these specific kind! 

Up & Up Fresh Scent Baby Wipes (72 count) - I purchased these at Target and the scent is definitely fresh! I used these after using my cleansers to ensure that all the makeup was off my face! These worked well but are not my all time favourite.

Sheet Masks

Holika Holika Pearl Pure Essence Sheet Mask (20 ml) - I surprisingly have never tried any of their sheet masks and when I stumbled across their location in Toronto, I wandered in to see what I could find! This sheet mask was $2 CAD and there were many to choose from. The easy open where you peel back apart the packaging is definitely much easier than tearing it open. I found that the mask was very delicate to handle as I wanted to avoid tearing it and it was soaked in essence. The mask fit smaller on my face which worked out better for me because my face is not that big. This sheet mask is meant for brightening the complexion and has pearl extract in the formula. I honestly enjoyed using it and I definitely would repurchase it in the future as it felt great on my skin! It is recommended that you wear it for 10-20 minutes and it is made in Korea.

PINK Rose Hydrogel Mask (28 g) - This mask is just okay and it only has the slightest hint of rose in my opinion. The mask comes in two parts, it is very saturated and is easy to apply. It is recommended that you leave it on for 10-20 minutes. My skin did drink up the essence and there was nothing at the end for me to rub into my skin further. Also, there were only a couple of the rose petals built into the mask - I expected there to be more. I much prefer the lavender sheet mask over this one! I can't find a working link.

Body

Equate Women’s Triple Blade Disposable Razors (4 razors) - I purchased these in Walmart because they were only $4 for the pack which works out to be $1 per razor. They claim to use a botanical moisture strip and that the handle is lavender scented. It does smell like lavender if you put it right under your nose but I think that the moisture strip should smell like lavender that way, when you are shaving, you can really smell it! I do like the fact that there is a image of a palm tree imprinted on the front of the handle which is a nice touch. These razors got the job done but didn’t work better than my BIC Soleil Razors which are my favourite disposable razor! 

Supplements/Vitamins

Jamieson B12 Timed Release Tablets 1,200 mcg (80 count) - I purchased mine at Walmart and I really did find these effective. You do have to swallow them which isn’t an issue for me because the tablet is very small. They are a fair price and they do not have any taste at all! 

Nature’s Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies (220 Gummies) - I have been taking these gummies on and off for many years. I couldn’t find this exact size on the Walmart website but the product is still available. I do like taking these and go back to them when my nails are feeling brittle. You can check out my blog post on these gummies from a few years back! 

Emergen-C Effervescent Powder in Pink Lemonade (30 packets) - This honestly isn’t my favourite flavour as the pink lemonade gave me a weird after taste in my mouth. I mainly bought it because this particular box helps support breast cancer awareness. I purchased this from Walmart when they had the 2 for $20 which is a great deal! 

Miscellaneous

Up & Up Baby Shampoo (591 ml/20 fl oz) - This did a great job and it is a good value considering that it is comparable to Johnson’s Baby Shampoo. They now are making Johnson’s with a pump which is definitely a plus. A downfall of this product is that it is VERY prone to leaking! It spilled in the bag after I bought it and again when the bottle was turn upside down so be aware of this upon purchasing it! 

Promo/Samples - Face

Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet (10 ml) - I really enjoyed using this product and it brought back moisture into my face! It is a gel-cream that is lightweight and it is packed with a ton of ingredients that are great for your skin! I combined this with my sunscreen and I used it in the morning. This is good for all skin types including sensitive and this product is made in France.
