October Empties | 2014

Hey everyone! It just feels like the month of October is flying by. Well, at least to me anyway. Below are all the products that I have used up this month. I am sad to say, there were a lot of misses. Be sure to scroll down for my honest thoughts on these products.

 

Face & Body

Aveeno - Positively Radiant Make-Up Removing Cleanser - This is my go-to cleanser. I have bought this several times and it works wonderfully at removing all my unwanted make-up. I will continue to repurchase it! DON'T EVERY CHANGE THE FORMULA AVEENO! You have done a wonderful job with this particular product.

LUSH - Mask of Magnaminty - Here is my honest opinion about this product. I'll start off by saying that I went into a Lush store and asked for a sample of this product after hearing Nicole Guerriero rave about it on YouTube. I did go back a few weeks later to buy a tub of this face mask. I did like the product initially because I did commit to the larger size version. My issue is that it does not fit in my current lifestyle. I do not have time for this product essentially. I am always on the go and I found myself forgetting about this product quite often. I did wish that I had remembered to use it more often because I do like it. Especially the tingly sensation that it has once it is applied on your face. Would I repurchase it? No only due to my aforementioned comment about my busy lifestyle.

LUSH - Herbalism - I tried this product on a whim and really ended up enjoying it! My only issue is that there was no way that I was going to be able to finish it before the expiration date. I used this product in the shower in the morning and required the tiniest amount of product. I have combination skin and was more on the oily side when I decided to purchase it. This product is suppose to help battle your oils. Do I think that it did a good job? Decently, but when you have oily skin, it is hard to find a true miracle worker product.

Johnson's - Baby Bedtime Wash - Pretty much the only body wash that I use. If you have been following my blog for a while, you can see how many of these body washes that I have gone through in the past.

Samples & Deluxe Samples

Jergens - Ultra Care Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer - I did not care for this product at all. The scent was very 'blah' and the product was not too spectacular. I threw out the coupon that it came with. Need I say more?

Benefit - Stay Don't Stray - I have EXTREMELY oily eyelids. The only pro I can think of is that this little sample did last me a long time. I would NOT purchase this though because it did not last me throughout the work days.

PURE By Gloss - Body Lotion - Nice smell but it was a very standard lotion.

Caesars Shower Gel in Organic Lemongrass and Hibiscus - Created by Truterra - I really enjoyed this shower gel! The scent is very pleasant. However, I am very loyal to my Johnson & Johnson line as far as body washes go.

Make-Up

Revlon - ColorStay Overtime Waterproof Lengthening Mascara (001 Blackest Black) - I HATED this mascara. It was a nightmare to get off and I couldn't even go through the tube in its entirety. I only bought this mascara because it was on sale at Walgreens or Rite Aid.  normally like Revlon mascaras but this was a complete disappointment.

Revlon - Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara (002 Black) - I am sorry to say but I also disliked this mascara. The wand was too thick and my lashes constantly looked clumpy (in a bad way.) Unlike the other one, this one was easy to remove.

Revlon - ColorStay Whipped Foundation (330 True Beige) - Holy grail foundation. I am very glad that this pot has finished because the colour was too dark for me as I have lost a lot of my tan unfortunately. 

ELF - Makeup Mist & Set - Another holy grail item.

Chap Ice - Cocoa Butter Lip Balm - I bought this when I was living in LA at Big Lots. It was around the $2.00 mark. It was decent. Nothing special.

Other

Revlon - Precision Lash Adhesive - Awesome lash glue and it is latex free. It is great for people that are allergic to latex.

Bath & Body Works - Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Coconut Lime Verbena - I adore this smell. It is very fresh smelling.

Up & Up - Cotton Rounds (105 Count) - These are by far my favourite cotton rounds. They are Target's brand. I have since repurchased another pack when I went back to The States.

If you like Baby Phat Goddess, you'll love our Sexy Thang - Fragrance Deodorant Body Spray - I bought this as a joke a while ago at KMART. I'm still not sure why I decided to throw it in my empties for this month. Would not repurchase.

   Sorry if I sounded like a 'Debbie Downer' this month. I just happened to try out a bunch of products that weren't the greatest for myself. I hope that you had better luck this month!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
