July Empties | 2018

Hey everyone! It's time to sort through my trash and check out all the products that I finished this month!

Face/Lips

Tarte Lip Facial Lip Scrub - Most of the writing has since come off the packaging and I remember receiving this in a set from Sephora that is no longer on their website. This was perfect for travel and I took it to many places. It does a great job at exfoliating as well as conditioning. You just simply twist up the product and I even used it for my dry spot under my bottom lip. There’s some great ingredients such as: Shea butter, petrolatum and antioxidant-rich algae. The only downside is that it is hard to get out every bit of product and I felt myself digging to get the product out of the very bottom of the tube.

Equate Unscented Ultra Soft Baby Wipes (88 count) - These lasted me quite a long time and I used them to remove my makeup at night. They did not tear on me, they were a pretty decent size and I only had to use one at night to remove my whole face of makeup. They are a great value and I would repurchase them again in the future at Walmart!

Estee Lauder Nutritious Vitality 8 Radiant Energy Mist (30 ml) - This did nothing to my face and I thought it was a waste of money. I paid $20 for it and I featured this in my Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale Haul | March 2018. This product has since been discontinued as I no longer see it online and it should be no surprise that this spray was featured in my Disappointing Products | Volume 3 blog post. 

Nair Moisturizing Face Cream Hair Remover (57 g) - I use this on my upper lip to remove the hair there. This isn’t the best product on the market and you have to ensure that you do not leave it on for too long or else your skin will be irritated. My tube has gone off and I’m onto my new bottle now. This is very affordable but I have to use it once every 1-2 weeks regularly. 

Face Masks

Garnier The Super Purifying Charcoal Sheet Mask (28 ml) - This was one of the more comfortable sheet masks to wear and only the mask itself was black - the essence was clear. My face felt refreshed and softer after using it just once. I would definitely repurchase this mask in the future and try out some other ones from Garnier! If you want to know more about this mask, I have a dedicated review on this exact sheet mask.

Innisfree My Real Squeeze Rice Mask (20 ml) - This is described as a rich cream-type mask that is enriched with abundant nourishment from rice. This mask is on the smaller side as far as fit is concerned and there is a slight scent that did not bother me. This is definitely a creamier mask as the essence is not in liquid form and the leftover product on your face after you peel off the sheet mask is heavier too. Usually I dislike it but for this mask, I actually did not mind. It is a heavier sheet mask though so keep that in mind before you purchase it. This isn’t amongst my favourite masks but it isn’t a bad one either. 

Body/Hands

Korres Shower Gel in Water Lily Blossom (400 ml) - I originally purchase this at TSC Warehouse Sale and it was such a great buy! I liked the scent as it is described as a fresh, delicate scent of water flowers. The formula of this shower gel was also fantastic and I’m already onto another scent from the brand! The only downfall is that this product is hard to track down as only shopping channel networks or eBay popped up when I tried finding a direct link to this product therefore, it’s safe to say that I think it's discontinued. 

Ed Hardy Villain Eau De Parfum Spray (75 ml) - This bottle took me a while to get through and the scent never went off luckily. The lasting power was awful on this particular scent and that’s the main reason why I would not repurchase it. The bottle is designed well and this has gone down in price significantly over the years. I'm pretty sure it has been discontinued. 

AHAVA Mineral Hand Cream (100 ml) - I purchased mine on The Bay’s website for $12.60 on sale which a deal that you can’t beat considering that the hand cream alone retails for $30. This product does not irritate my psoriasis and it is very moisturizing. It is approved for sensitive skin, it is allergy tested and paraben free. The only con is that the packaging is rather boring and they can switch it up because the tube tends to get really dirty. Check out my review on the AHAVA Precious Mineral Stars Set Review. 

Bath & Body Works

Car Fragrance Refill in Honolulu Sun (6 ml) - I used to really like the scent when it was new but the last few times I’ve come across it, I’m just over it. It’s very strong smelling and I’m not into it anymore. It’s time to retire this scent for the time being and move onto new ones! 

Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Peach Bellini (259 ml) - I have repurchased this scent many times throughout the years and it’s one of my favourites from Bath & Body Works. It is described as having notes of: juicy peach, white apricot and fresh mango. It smells great and you can’t go wrong with having this in your bathroom for guests to use!

Creamy Luxe Hand Soap in Warm Vanilla Sugar (236 ml) - This is a great hand soap for the bathroom and is one that I have purchased several times throughout the years. It is described as: rich, creamy vanilla sprinkled with sparkling sugar. I will continue to repurchase this scent as it never get tired of it! 

Miscellaneous

Equate Tearless Baby Shampoo (592 ml) - For anyone who follows my blog, this should come as no surprise as this is what I use to clean both my makeup sponges as well as my makeup brushes. It is very affordable and lasts me a decent amount of time. I am already on my new bottle and it works the same as Johnson’s Baby Shampoo in my honest opinion but is $2 cheaper for the same amount of product.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
