September Empties | 2017

Hey everyone! It is time for another month of empties and you can see which products that I went through for the month of September as well as my honest thoughts on each item. Let's get into it!

Face

Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Restorative Radiance Oil (4 ml) - This is my second bottle of this exact product and as much as I do enjoy using it to mix in with my moisturizer, I’m not quite sure that I see a huge difference in my skin. For that reason, I am going to continue to try out other oils and pick my favourite later down the road. I'm pretty sure this is discontinued. 

Cleansing Wipes - Fresh Berries Scented (25 count) - I purchased these from Michaels for a few dollars and although they are not my favourite makeup wipes to use, they do a pretty good job at removing swatches off my arms. I prefer to use them that way rather than to remove makeup off of my face even though I will admit, I still used them for that purpose.

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips for the Face (8 count) - These are definitely my go-to pore strips and they make such a difference! I use the face strips on my face because they are wider as well as larger meaning that they take more off than the ones designed just for your nose. The ones for the face are getting discontinued but there are other great ones to choose from.

Fruits & Passion Avocado Face Mask - This sheet mask had an odd scent to it that is very hard to pinpoint. It is thinner than other sheet masks that I have tried in the past and you need to be careful when applying it so that it does not rip. This was a little harder to put on my face than other sheet masks and this one wasn’t my favourite to be honest with you. It was good at adding moisture back into my face though because my skin was very dehydrated. 

Fruits & Passion Blueberry Face Mask - This mask is enriched with blueberry extract which is used for soothing the skin and known for its antioxidant properties. This didn’t smell like blueberries too me but my skin drank up this sheet mask! I left it on for 15 minutes and most of the essence was already absorbed by my skin.

Fruits & Passion Olive Face Mask - This mask is enriched with olive extract and it is known for its nourishing and moisturizing properties. This didn’t really smell like anything and my face has been dehydrated from travelling. Therefore, I am glad that I brought and used this mask while on vacation!

Fruits & Passion Cucumber Face Mask - It is enriched with cucumber extract and is known for its hydrating as well as its soothing properties. This smelled fantastic and definitely the best out of all the masks from Fruits & Passion that I have tried this far!

Vitamins/Supplements

Nature’s Bounty Quick Dissolve B-12 (2500 mcg) - Out of all the B-12 supplements that I have tried, these are by far the best for a few reasons. First, the cherry taste is very pleasant, the pills aren’t too large and they do dissolve rather quickly. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase these again in the future!

Midol Extra Strength (32 caplets) - I have rather annoying and painful menstrual cramps which I need to keep under control. I honestly can’t be without Midol when Mother Nature pays me a visit and always have them on deck!

Emergen-C Vitamin and Mineral Supplement in Lemon Lime (30 packets) - I also make sure to stock-up on these when I feel myself about to get sick. I have also been traveling this month and the change in climate can definitely bring on a cold. This is an excellent way to boost your vitamin c and I highly recommend this miracle worker!

Bath & Body Works

Scentportable in Sweater Weather - This is honestly a great fragrance to use in the Fall and Winter months. It is a nice masculine scent that is not overpowering. I definitely recommend that everyone at least smells this scent at least once!

Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Peach Bellini (259 ml) - This is a go-to scent in my household and it definitely gets many compliments by guests whenever they use this particular scent! This is the old packaging and they have a new design on the more current bottle.

Promo/Samples - Face

L’Occitane Cleansing Oil 5% Shea (30 ml) - I received this as a free gift at my L’Occitane store and I had never even tried it or heard of it previously. This did a pretty good job at removing my makeup but I did have to double cleanse when using this product. The full size version retails for $29 CAD for 200 ml of product that comes in a pump bottle.

Perfect Derm Collagen Mask (1 Sheet) - I found this mask to be very wet and with excess essence I would apply to both my neck as well as my decolletage. I like applying products containing collagen to my skin because once you get older, the elasticity in your skin wears down and collagen helps to give my elasticity to the skin thus in turn, makes the skin more firm. This wasn’t my favourite sheet mask but I didn’t dislike it.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
