April Empties | 2020

Hey everyone! If you are unaware, I have closed down my other domain and I have been moving over everything to Blogger! My posts will not be in order and I'm doing everything manually so please bare with me! Now let's see all my used up products from the month of April!

Face

Origins Super Spot Remover Acne Treatment Gel (10 ml) - This product helped reduce the size of my pimple and you only need the smallest amount. I found that I did have to use this over the course of a few days. It was effective and will take longer for the larger pimples to clear up. The price did go up by $2 since I last purchased it and they did change the front of the packaging. I’m already on my second bottle and it lasted me a few years without exaggeration! 

  

The Body Shop Tea Tree Anti-Perfection Daily Solution (50 ml) - I’m had this product in my collection for quite some time and it take me a while to finish it. It’s finally done and I can’t seem to find it on the website. It was nice to use and I found that it did actually help my acne when it did flare up. It doesn’t smell the best but your skin care isn’t supposed to smell good and it’s tea tree oil after all. The product came out of a dropper and I used it at night.

Lancôme Vissionnaire Crescendo Progressive Night Peel (30 ml x 2) - I actually used up two of these as I had way more of Phase 2 leftover. Phase 1 contains AHA from fruit acids and quinoa husk extract. Phase 2 contains salicylic acid and gycolic acid. It helps to exfoliate the skin to promote cell renewal which helps to smooth the skin. I don’t recommend this for those with sensitive skin because it really irritated my mom’s skin and she gave me her bottle. I did see a difference in my skin and took advantage of the quarantine to use up these bottles as you shouldn’t be using this product then going into the sun as it contains an AHA. It is more on the expensive side as it retails for $99 and I don’t think that I would repurchase this again even though I got it for a great price but there are other products on the market for a cheaper price point that work just as well as this does.

Marvel Kawaii Nose Mask - Iron Man (8 count) - These are super fun to use and the Iron Mask nose strip actually shows up as his upper body armour in the form of a strip. I bought these from Miniso as Walmart didn’t have any pore strips from any brand in stock. These aren’t as effective as the Bioré ones in my honest opinion but they still do the job!

Marvel Kawaii Nose Mask - Black Widow (8 count) - These are exactly like the previous ones except these are featured Black Widow’s belt on the actual nose strip. They are fun to use and I definitely would repurchase them!

Smashbox Photo Finish Centering Citrus Primer Water (116 ml) - This is a great product but my only complaint is that I got tired of this particular scent after a while. I was happy when my bottle ran out. I like that the bottom part of the sprayer inside the bottle makes it so you are able to get out every last bit of product. A lot of my facial sprays, I have so much extra product stuck in the bottle that I can’t spray out which is a waste. This claims to be silicone, alcohol and oil-free. I would not repurchase this particular scent and I much prefer the original version. Also, this claims to be limited edition but it has been available online for such a long time.

Teeth

Crest 3D White Brilliance Daily Cleansing & Whitening System (Step 1 & 2) - This is a two step system where the first step is a fluroride toothpaste and the second step is a whitening gel. Each step ran out around the same time for me with the toothpaste lasting a little bit longer as it contains 85 ml of product and the whitening gel only contains 63 ml. It did not make my teeth sensitive at all and I only used this at night. This whitening system lasted me a long time and much longer than I thought! I did find my teeth to be whiter but I have to say that I miss using my whitening strips. This is a great alternative but I don’t know if I would repurchase it again.

Promo/Samples - Face

La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra-Fluid Lotion (3 ml) - I got a bunch of these as free samples from an event that I was at and I’m just working through my stash! This is very lightweight on the face and great for daily wear. I do like that it has an SPF of 60!

Derma-E Firming DMAE Moisturizer (3.5 g) - This is a sample that I actually received in the mail and it smelled just like lavender to me. I loved the consistency of the cream and this is meant for firming the skin. You can use it both in the morning as well as the evening. I definitely was a fan and would consider purchasing the full size.

Body

The Body Shop Hemp Heavy-Duty Moisture Protector (200 ml) - This was part of a gift from a friend and it worked especially well in the colder months. I used this over my entire body and it really did a great job at adding moisture to my skin. It doesn’t smell super pleasant but it certainly gets the job done and I’m a fan on the entire range!

Tea

Teapigs Peppermint Leaves Herbal Tea (15 tea temples) - This is great if you are into peppermint tea and is great if you are feeling under the weather or if you have an upset stomach then this should calm it down. The tea is very fresh and they use whole leaves. They are a Canadian company and the box is recyclable which are major pluses. The price of one box is $10 which is rather expensive but if you love great tasting tea, this is definitely for you!

Fragrance

MAC Crème D’Nude (1.5 ml x 2) - This scent reminds me exactly of Warm Vanilla Sugar at Bath & Body Works! It has a nice warm vanilla scent to it. There is also a lipstick with this exact name! They have about 6 fragrances inspired by their lipsticks. The full size is 50 ml for $67. I would say just buy the cheaper option at Bath & Body Works and save your coins because they smell the exact same!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
