January Empties | 2018

Hey everyone! We have reached the end of the first month of 2018! Let's take a closer look at all of the empties that I went through in January!

Face

Aveda Tourmaline Charged Hydrating Creme (15 ml) - I purchased this at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale and it is not available on the Aveda site. This was just mediocre in my opinion and I used it in the morning to mix with my sunscreen before applying makeup. I’m not sad that this has been replaced or discontinued (not sure,) and it certainly isn’t a holy grail product for me.

Jeju Volcanic Ash Nose Strips (7 count) - I purchased these online from The Face Shop and I do have an entire dedicated post on them. These are my personal favourite and I like them more than the Aloe Nose Strips but those work just as well. I purchased them in bulk and I do look forward to using these each week!

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser (50 ml) - I enjoyed using this in the morning to start my day and it worked well at night to help remove my makeup. I received this in the Skincare Power Players Set from Sephora and it’s an all around great product! The smaller sized tube did last me quite awhile and it’s great to take traveling! It’s a gel cleanser and can be used on any skin type including those with sensitive skin. It is rich in amino acids, it did not dry out my skin and it is rather gentle. It also contains: rosewater, cucumber extract and borage seed oil. I do have an entire review on this product.

Sheet Masks

Nature Republic Real Nature Mask Sheet (Shea Butter) - This has to be one of the worst sheet masks that I have ever used. The mask is too big for my face, the essence looks like shea butter lotion, it is too saturated and it burned my skin underneath my lip causing irritation. I almost couldn’t leave it on for the full 20 minutes and I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. I do have a whole blog post on which shea butter was the mask out of the 3 that I tried so feel free to check that out!

Sephora Algae Sheet Mask (22 g/0.78 oz) - This is a nice way to treat your skin and add back in some much needed moisture. One single sheet mask will run you $8 but I have to say that this is one of the best fitting sheet masks that I have ever put on. If you need to quickly chase a toddler around the room, the mask will not slide off. It left a cooling sensation on my skin and felt wonderful when it was applied onto my skin! I would recommend trying this out to you in the future and I may have to pick up a few more to add to my collection to go along with my other Korean sheet masks! Don't forget to check out my detailed review on this sheet mask!

Tony Moly I’m Real Aloe Sheet Mask (21 g) - I washed, exfoliated then toned my face before applying this sheet mask. It was very cooling, I loved the scent of the mask, it fit my face well and this really moisturizes the skin. I really enjoyed using it and it will be added to the list of my favourite sheet masks!

Bath & Body Works

Warm Vanilla Sugar Gentle Foaming Hand Soap (259 ml) - This was one of the very first scents that many people fell in love with at Bath & Body Works. I have been using this scent on and off for many years in many different forms. I like the new packaging and won’t be getting tired of this scent any time soon!

Pumpkin Cranberry Cider Gentle Foaming Hand Soap (259 ml) - This is the great Fall scent as it is a perfect blend of ingredients and the packing is cute to display in your bathroom! I didn’t get sick of the scent even after I used up the entire bottle which is a sign that I would repurchase this scent in a heartbeat!

Mahogany Teakwood Car Fragrance Refill (6 ml) - This is the perfect masculine, musky Fall scent. The notes include: fine woods, delicate lavender and geranium. I have purchased this scent in the past and will continue to do so in the future!

Samples/Promo - Hair

Got2B Oil-Licious Styling Oil (18 ml) - I got this for free as a sample a while ago and I’m disappointed that I didn’t try it out sooner! It contains: argan, white grape/raisin blanc and marula oil. I use it when I get out of the shower and also on a daily basis. It made my hair smoother and helped to reduce some of my frizz. I enjoyed using it but it has since been discontinued.

Food

Ülker Çokoprens (73 g) - My friend brought me these back from Turkey and they are delicious! I ate 3-4 in one sitting and the chocolate centre makes it that much more decadent! I loved these!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
